Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Greenhouse (5)_1

"Third Young Master, actually, the military should have someone specifically responsible for ideological education. The best candidate would be someone who is articulate and loyal to the prince, someone who can inspire people. You need to know that people’s minds can be influenced as well." Lin Ziyin instructed him, and also instilled in them the modern philosophy of managing armies, "Being forced to fight and volunteering to fight are two different matters."

"How can we inspire?" Si Jinhan asked with a laugh.

"That should be something for the Third Young Master and the Prince to handle." Lin Ziyin smiled mildly and replied, then turned to concentrate on training the hardworking soldiers.

"Third Young Master, I do have some ideas about it." Congyi interjected with a smile.

"You know?" Si Jinhan didn’t have much faith in him.

"When I heard Mr. Yu’s speech to the villagers, I realized. Miss will give them speeches as well. After hearing many, naturally, I’ve picked up a few things." Congyi pointed at the soldiers in the distance as he spoke.

"What does Lin Ziyin say to the soldiers?" Si Jinhan had been running between the city and the farmhouse for the past few days and was not aware of the latest happenings.

"Soldiers protect their home and nation so that their families can live in peace."

"A blissful life is earned by the sacrifice of your brothers-in-arms."

"All military merits belong to every soldier on the battlefield."

...

Several guards competed to repeat Lin Ziyin’s daily speeches.

"These are great." Si Jinhan laughed in agreement, "Prince, should we really arrange for someone eloquent to take care of ideological work in the military as the girl suggests?"

"I think these guys are fine," Chu Suifeng glanced at Congyi and the others behind him.

Congyi and the others were immediately taken aback. They were the guards who followed the Prince closely and were assigned to protect him. They weren’t willing to go into the military and just talk.

"In a few days, bring some civil officials to learn." Chu Suifeng ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness." When Congyi and the others heard that they wouldn’t have to go to Border City, they immediately cheered up.

After the training ground dispersed, there were no elders in Wu Dayou’s house, and the Lin Family was not particular about it. The husband and wife, under the persistence of Guo Huiniang and Lin Changshu, went to the Lin Family as well.

They offered tea to the elders and the old man sat at the head, drinking the tea offered by the couple, "This is from grandfather, take it."

The old man handed out two red envelopes to Wu Dayou and Zige, "Wish you a happy and loving marriage."

"Thank you, grandfather." Zige and Wu Dayou thanked him and took the red envelopes. When he stood up, Wu Dayou took the initiative to help Zige up.

The old man saw and nodded slightly in approval, looking pleased. As the elder of the family, he didn’t do much heavy work but would still visit the workshops or stay in the fields. Ziyin paid him a wage and even assigned a supervisor to him.

Having a job made the old man feel useful and not like a freeloader. Additionally, since Lin Ziyin would give him some silver every month, he didn’t lack for money.

"Little brother." Now that they were married and recognized as adults, Wu Dayou and Zige had also prepared red envelopes for Changting and Yanzhi.

The two children took the small pouches, their eyes squinting with joy.

"Keep it." Yanzhi handed the small pouch to Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin joked with him, "Yanzhi, not letting mom and dad keep it for you?"

"Auntie will keep it, to buy sweets for the great-grandfather." The little guy cleverly replied, "Mom and Dad have theirs."

"Great-grandfather has his too." The old man added, pleased.

Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan, being outsiders, saw the closeness between the Lin family’s generations and felt a twinge of jealousy.
