The two tigers were soon taken away by Wei Shifeng’s soldiers.
The four brothers of Yuan Pandi, carrying the silver coin earned from selling the tigers, headed straight to the county office of Sanchuan City.
While processing the registration, Yuan Zhaodi, who was accompanying Old Yuan, accidentally dropped Wei Shifeng’s token.
The document officer, having received the silver coin, was not satisfied and wanted more benefits, prompting Yuan Zhaodi to play this little trick.
Upon seeing Wei Shifeng’s token, the document officer’s attitude towards Old Yuan immediately changed.
He quickly issued the registration documents and arranged for the Yuan Family to settle in Shiqu Village, near Sanchuan City.
Shiqu Village is indeed a good place.
Backed by mountains and bordered by rivers, even if the land is newly reclaimed, it would quickly become arable. Of course, the prerequisite is that people need to be diligent.
Moreover, for Shiqu Village backed by mountains, if there is a famine, there is sufficient food to be gathered from the mountains behind.
Generally, people from other countries entering Daxia through Xiao Pass wouldn’t even think about settling in Shiqu Village.
But now, thanks to Wei Shifeng’s token, the Yuan Family successfully imposed upon the situation.
The family took the registration documents, left the city, and headed straight to Shiqu Village.
There happened to be an empty house in the village, and Old Yuan promptly bought a rather large courtyard with money, providing a temporary place for the family to stay.
However, the Yuan Family had a large number of people, and the rooms in this courtyard were still somewhat insufficient.
But this was not a big deal; once they settled down, they could buy more land to build a larger courtyard.
Back in Linhe Village of Great Yin, Old Yuan had plans to expand the courtyard and build more rooms. Unfortunately, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
An unexpected disaster forced the whole family to leave Great Yin.
Fortunately, upon arriving in Daxia, the two ferocious tigers came to them, providing the means to settle in Daxia. They could also impose a little with these two tigers.
Once the family settled down, Old Yuan gathered his sons together to discuss plans for the future.
"Father, I want to join the military!"
Yuan Wangdi straightforwardly expressed his thoughts.
Back in Great Yin, joining the military meant becoming a military household, and from then on, his descendants could only be soldiers, so Yuan Wangdi had to dutifully farm at home.
But it’s different in Daxia; here, military merit determines one’s rank. Content originally comes from novel·fire·net
If he joins the military and earns merit, he can protect the whole clan.
"Father, I’ll go with my second brother!"
Yuan Laidi followed suit.
Old Yuan looked at his two eager sons who wanted to join the military, sighed, and said, "You are all grown up and have your own ideas, so I won’t make decisions for you!"
"But one thing, you can join the military, but make sure to reassure your wives!"
"Don’t worry, Father!"
Yuan Wangdi was not at all concerned that his wife would oppose his decision.
However, Yuan Laidi looked slightly uncomfortable.
His wife had never agreed to him joining the military.
After all, joining the military meant going to the battlefield to fight.
On the battlefield, swords, spears, and arrows abound; a single mistake could result in losing his life or becoming disabled.
"Father, I want to start a small business in the city!"
After his second and third brothers expressed their opinions, Yuan Zhaodi also stated his stance.
Farming, which involves heavy labor, was genuinely something Yuan Zhaodi could not endure.
