I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin didn't know what he was thinking, but after getting a positive answer, she smiled sincerely: "In that case, I'll trouble your majesty to take care of these things. In the past, you have always arranged these things. I have never done business, but your majesty must know how to maximize profits."

"Thanks for your trust, sister-in-law. Zheng'an will certainly live up to your trust." Xia Zheng'an wanted to go back to the palace right now to start discussing how to cheat money from those people. These people are really richer than him. "I don't know when these two things can be produced."

"Give me seven days for the lights, and a while for the natural gas. The gas tank is still being made, so it may take a month." Lin Jin said a more reliable time because he didn't know when the gas tank would be ready.

Xia Zhengan thought for a while, which was not a long time. He clapped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, just do your job with confidence. If you need anything, just let someone pass the message to the palace. Zhengan will help you to the utmost."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Jin felt relieved after hearing his words. This way, she could do anything without any worries.

Lin Jin sent away Xia Zhengan, who was full of joy, and then began to arrange the next things. Although she would not go back to school until after the Lantern Festival, she did not plan to take too long a vacation and would continue to be busy after the New Year.

Officials of Daxia only had six days off for the New Year, so they would return to court on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to prepare for the new year's work.

"Sir, when can I go north?" Yan Wusheng couldn't help but ask Lin Jin. Everyone followed the army north, but he hadn't gone yet. He felt a little disappointed.

Lin Jin pursed her lips slightly: "Do you want to go to the border?"

She found that among all the boys, Yan Wusheng was the best and most standard student, so he was the most suitable to stay and be a teacher, but she always forgot to ask Yan Wusheng's opinion, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

"Not really, it's just that you, sir, kept me here, so I have to do something for you. How can I repay you if I stay here?" Yan Wusheng's face was troubled. Lin Jin had said that their mission was to save more soldiers on the battlefield.

How could he save people when he couldn’t even see the shadow of the army?

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You staying here is also helping me. If you and Xing'er weren't here, who would help me teach them? If you weren't a man, those people might look down on Xing'er, a woman, and the previous classes wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Really?" Yan Wusheng was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, nurses are not only needed on the battlefield. If it were just the battlefield, then the group of people we brought out before would be enough." Lin Jin explained to him the necessity of nurses.

The reason she wanted to bring Fang Zhining in was because she needed to train doctors later. Only cooperation between doctors and nurses could really reduce the mortality rate among the people. Although she could only produce disinfectants and other things now, she would also find a way to develop other basic medicines.

Yan Wusheng was simply afraid that he was useless and couldn't help. When he heard Lin Jin say this, he immediately felt relieved: "As long as you don't think I'm useless, it's fine. If I can't help, I really don't know what else I can do."

"What to do? Just do what you want to do." Lin Jin chuckled, not wanting to put too much pressure on Yan Wusheng. "Although it's not wrong for me to bring you with me, you didn't sign a contract to sell yourself to me. You can choose to do what you want. You are a free man."

Yan Wusheng remained silent and did not answer her. He thought for a long time before shaking his head: "You saved me, and I should be grateful and repay you."

"What have I saved you from? You have helped me a lot during this period of time, and that little favor has long been offset. If you have other ideas, you don't have to worry about anything, I won't stop you. I always think that the most important thing for people is freedom. When you are a free person, don't think of yourself as a slave." Lin Jin was helpless and didn't understand why children nowadays are so stubborn.

Yan Wusheng looked at her blankly.

"What else?" Lin Jin stared at his expression with amusement, "You are free in the first place. Whether you want to continue staying in the academy or do another livelihood, you have the right to choose."

"You won't blame me?" Yan Wusheng lowered his head, a little twisted, "You don't think I'm..."

"Of course not. People have countless possibilities, and you also have countless choices. Why should I blame you?" Lin Jin reached out and rubbed Yan Wusheng's head. "Just like I told you at the beginning, if you don't want to learn this, you can tell me at any time."

A group of adolescent boys. Lin Jin sighed in his heart.

“I don’t dislike it.” But I don’t like it very much either.

Yan Wusheng actually didn't know what he wanted to do. After being taken away by mistake when he was young and then found back, he didn't fit in with the Yan family. Although the Yan family hired a teacher to teach him, no one ever told him what he should do, and his family didn't have any expectations for him. They thought that as long as he had some knowledge and didn't make a fool of himself, it would be good enough for him to be a farmer in the future.

When Lin Jin told him that he could do whatever he wanted, he didn't know what he wanted to do. He had just wanted to stay with Lin Jin, leave Taiyuan Prefecture, and repay Lin Jin's kindness. As long as Lin Jin thought he was useful, it would be worth it.

But what do you really want to do...

Yan Wusheng shook his head again: "I don't know what I want to do. Actually, it seems that I can live a good life now."

"It's up to you. It's your choice how you want to live your life. You can think about it when you have time. You can come to me anytime." Lin Jin was helpless. No matter how much others said about this matter, it would be useless. It all depended on Yan Wusheng himself. He had to live his own life. No matter what advice she gave Yan Wusheng, it would be useless if it was not what Yan Wusheng wanted.

Yan Wusheng nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay."

Lin Jin tested the wires she had made. Among the dozen or so wires, none of them met her standards. The resistance was too high. The greater the resistance, the greater the loss. It was also easy for them to malfunction during use. In any case, they were not suitable.

"What a headache." Lin Jin wished that qualified wires could fall from the sky, but that was just wishful thinking. She packed up all the failed products and put them aside. "If you have nothing to do today, come with me to the farmland to have a look."

I haven't spent much time to check on the saline-alkali land and see how fertile it is this winter. It will be time for spring ploughing in a few months, and it would be best if these fields could be used for ploughing this year.

"Okay." Yan nodded silently, "Do you need a hoe?"

"No need." Lin Jin said with a smile, "We just want to go and take a look. You have been helping me with the affairs of the academy since you came to the capital for so long, and you haven't had a good look around yet. I will take you around by the way."

When people are confused, they can just walk around and relax, which will make them feel better.

Lin Jin asked someone to bring him a horse, and they rode to the saline-alkali land. Although it was winter, the improvement of the saline-alkali land had never been neglected. People were reclaiming the land every day. Water was picked out by breaking the ice, and fires were built around to prevent the water from freezing.

"Why don't we wait until spring?" Yan Wusheng was leading the horse, not understanding why they had to do such a thankless task. Wouldn't it be better to wait until spring?

"It's so that the farmland can be used earlier. If it's opened now and fertilized in the spring, maybe we can harvest more food by the end of the year." Lin Jin explained with a smile. It seems to be a useless effort, but isn't this the hope of the people? "One more crop means one more hope of life."
