Chapter 360: What I Saw Along the Way
As soon as Lu Tianhao's proposal was put forward, it was quickly recognized and praised by Wang Hui and many generals.
For these generals who are busy with military affairs all day long.
It is undoubtedly a very meaningful thing to have such a rare leisure time to inspect the situation in the area under the jurisdiction of their National Salvation Army.
This time, everyone decided not to disguise themselves as ordinary people as they did in the past?
Instead, he chose to buy a considerable number of carriages and disguised himself as a traveling businessman.
Although Wang Hui and other generals were in high positions in the National Salvation Army.
But the combat capability of each of them is by no means ordinary, they are all top masters at the level of military king.
Not only that, a large number of soldiers from the Guards Regiment actively participated in it.
Some of them disguised themselves as porters and carried goods diligently.
Some of them transformed themselves into horsemen, riding horses skillfully.
The most important thing is that this trip has Lu Tianhao, a general who can provide sufficient weapons and equipment anytime and anywhere, in command.
With the powerful resources and outstanding leadership skills at his disposal, I believe there will be no loopholes in the safety of this journey.
It is no exaggeration to assert that there is absolutely no trace of large-scale enemy forces in the vast land controlled by the National Salvation Army.
After all, it has been a period of hard work and careful governance.
The National Salvation Army has successfully established an impenetrable line of defense, effectively resisting repeated invasions by external enemies.
Today, it has become a relatively stable and peaceful paradise.
Lu Tianhao was wearing a simple long gown and a round hat, which slightly concealed his heroic face.
Beside him, Wang Hui and other generals also changed into ordinary businessmen's attire.
Some wore coarse linen clothes, others wore silk robes, but they all tried to look ordinary.
Along the way, Lu Tianhao, Wang Hui and his party moved forward slowly, and wherever they looked, they saw a busy scene.
In the vast farmland, many people were working hard under the scorching sun.
They bent over, holding farm tools, weeding, sowing, or irrigating. Every movement was so skillful and powerful.
Although farming is extremely hard, the people's faces are filled with happy and satisfied smiles.
Seeing this, Lu Tianhao, Wang Hui and others couldn't help but walk forward and start chatting cordially with several of the people.
We learned from these simple farmers that their lives have undergone tremendous changes today.
Since the arrival of the National Salvation Army, not only has the land been distributed fairly and reasonably to everyone, but the tax policy formulated has also been extremely relaxed and preferential.
Taxes accounted for only one thirtieth of their total harvest, a proportion so low that it could be almost ignored.
What is even more touching is that if a family encounters difficulties and is unable to pay taxes on time, the National Salvation Army will not only not collect the taxes by force, but will also provide certain subsidies.
At this moment, the people truly felt that their lives were becoming more and more hopeful, and their hearts were filled with endless gratitude to the National Salvation Army.
They know very well that it is because of the protection and help of this righteous army that they can live a stable and prosperous life.
When Lu Tianhao and other generals heard these words, they felt extremely relieved and happy.
Looking back on all the difficulties and obstacles along the way, as well as the countless hard work and sweat I put in, I now feel that it is all worth it.
When they arrived at the city under the jurisdiction of the National Salvation Army, they felt more relaxed and happy.
They walked at a leisurely pace, moving through the bustling streets.
The shops on the street are full of goods and the sounds of hawkers are heard one after another.
The fruit vendors were shouting out their wares of fresh and juicy fruits.
From the blacksmith shop came the sound of hammering iron and sparks flying.
The aroma of tea wafts out from the entrance of the teahouse, attracting passers-by to stop and stay.
As Lu Tianhao walked, he carefully observed everything around him.
When he saw the innocent smiles of the children playing on the street, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
And those hard-working people made him feel a great sense of responsibility.
As they walked, they came to a restaurant.
There was loud laughter and chatter coming from upstairs, and it was obvious that business was booming.
Lu Tianhao smiled at everyone and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered the door, the waiter greeted them warmly and asked them what they needed.
Lu Tianhao casually ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, then found a seat by the window and sat down.
Looking out the window, you can see people coming and going on the street.
At this time, the conversation of the guests at the next table caught Lu Tianhao's attention.
One of them said excitedly, "You know, since the arrival of the National Salvation Army, the lives of ordinary people have changed dramatically!
In the past, farmers worked hard all year long, but in the end they could hardly even guarantee their own food and clothing, let alone own land of their own.
Things are very different now. The National Salvation Army not only distributes land to farmers for cultivation, but also charges taxes that are unimaginably low!
In this way, the farmers finally had some extra money, so they could buy new things for their homes, and their children could wear new clothes and have enough food to eat.
Besides, once people have money in their hands, they will naturally become more bold in spending.
They like to go to the market to buy all kinds of daily necessities and delicacies. In this way, we businessmen can benefit from it.
Business is booming and our income has increased significantly compared to the past.
Also, the current business tax is much lower than before.
In the past, we were overwhelmed by the heavy taxes and levies, but now that the burden has been reduced, everyone’s enthusiasm for doing business has increased.
More importantly, social security has become surprisingly good.
In the past, those ruffians always collected protection fees everywhere, causing panic among the people.
But what about now? Under the governance of the National Salvation Army, these people have long disappeared and no longer dare to make trouble.
We can do business peacefully without having to worry all day long.
These days, I am really getting more and more hopeful as time goes by! "
Another person agreed. "Yes, yes, in the past, those robbers and bandits often appeared here, and we were always very worried when we went out to buy some goods.
Even if it's late at night now, you can walk along the mountain paths to buy some goods without worrying about encountering robbers.
We can finally live a peaceful life!"
Hearing these words, Lu Tianhao and the others showed relieved smiles on their faces.
At this moment, an old man in plain clothes suddenly fell down in front of the restaurant.
Without saying anything, Lu Tianhao immediately stood up and ran over to help the old man up, and asked with concern, "Old man, are you okay?"
The old man looked at him gratefully and shook his head repeatedly to indicate that he was fine.
Seeing that the old man was still in good health, Lu Tianhao took out some silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to the old man, telling him to take good care of himself.
The old man took the silver dollar, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.
After the meal, Lu Tianhao and others continued their journey.
Along the way, they met many different kinds of people and things, each of which was deeply imprinted in their minds.
At this moment, a disguised communications soldier hurried over...
