Chapter 211: Chapter 210 Shelter for the Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled

The Military Department’s welfare for this aspect is also very good. If the army has surplus Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, they can also purchase it at a discounted price with Honor Points, up to a 60% discount.

In the past few months, a new benefit was added: each person can collect a half dose of Sleep-Aid Potion every week from the Military Merit System, allowing them to get a few good nights’ sleep each month.

But even so, the burden of the Spirit Power Potion is still heavy for those who have lost their combat abilities.

"Some of us from the Skywolf Legion, the general will subsidize us with some extra Star Coins every month to improve our lives, and he even specifically allocated a planet for us retired soldiers to retire on."

They are grateful to the general and deeply ashamed, trying their best to reduce the general’s pressure.

So, hearing that the job on Qu Tong’s side has no physical fitness level requirement, no age requirement, and includes food and lodging, they came over.

After listening, Qu Tong nodded, Si Yuting was indeed like a selfless leader with integrity, and the Empire’s welfare for soldiers was also very good.

She had just thought that the Empire’s retired soldiers were all living poorly, but it seems she was worried over nothing.

"Can you accept a contract of longer than ten years?" Qu Tong emphasized again.

"No problem," Tang Shigui agreed very straightforwardly.

He had read this before. A ten-year contract meant long-term stability for him; it was just a matter of living on a different planet.

He had originally thought that even if the conditions were a bit poorer, it would be good to save on living expenses.

Remote planets give the impression of being desolate, barren, severely polluted, and even dangerous with the presence of Star Beasts.

But now, what did he see?

Flower seas everywhere.

Exclusive flying vehicles of all sizes.

The residents here all have smiles of happiness and satisfaction on their faces.

For transportation, there are hovering cars available.

Robots of various sizes in the farms.

All he saw was the lush greenery of Energy Fruits and Vegetables.

If not known better, one would think they had strayed into some kind of fairyland.

Who would believe that such good conditions exist on a remote star if they were told?

Old Li was even worried that he was being tricked.

In such a place, even without a salary, he was very much looking forward to working here.

Not for any other reason, but because the air here made one feel much more comfortable than anywhere else.

"You follow Xiang Bin to understand the specific work content, and if there are no problems, you can sign the contract first."

After handing him over to Xiang Bin, Qu Tong prepared to leave.

Tang Shigui stopped Qu Tong: "Madam, please wait a moment."

Qu Tong turned around: "Is there a problem?"

"Well, Madam, I also have a few brothers..." Tang Shigui’s old face turned red as he spoke.

But with such good conditions here, and it being Madam’s planet, he wanted to fight for his brothers.

The work here is also simple, and Madam’s recruitment has no other requirements; his brothers might be a bit rough around the edges, but they’re still capable workers.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow: "All of you are coming to work for me, will your general agree?"

Tang Shigui nodded firmly: "Agreed, after retiring, we should arrange our own lives."

The general simply couldn’t bear to see them living too harshly and that’s why he helped them.

"As long as they don’t commit crimes or are incapable of operating the machinery, bring them over if they meet the conditions," Qu Tong said.

Si Yuting’s resource star wasn’t far from his own planet, requiring only a one-day spaceship journey.

When Qu Tong saw over a dozen men of different shapes and sizes, she couldn’t help twitching her mouth.

There was one with an injured eye, one with a long scar on his face, one with an arm in a sling, and even one in a wheelchair...

Seeing his wife’s gaze lingering on the sixth man, Tang Shigui felt a bit uneasy and quickly stepped forward to explain:

"Madam, Old Six has been in a wheelchair for ten years, and he’s quite adept at handling it. His wheelchair is custom-made and can be adjusted in height, but the paths between the fields are a bit hard to navigate and crossing rivers is somewhat inconvenient..."

Speaking to the end, Tang Shigui himself felt somewhat sheepishly guilty, and his voice became softer:

"If it really doesn’t work out, can Old Six be counted as one of our dependents? It’s quite pitiful for him to be left alone on Star 1046."

Qu Tong looked at the so-called Old Six, who had better skin than the others and looked leisurely—hardly pitiable at all.

But facing a group of old soldiers’ earnest gazes, Qu Tong waved her hand: "Go register."

A sanctuary for the old, weak, sick, and disabled; one more wouldn’t make a difference, one less wouldn’t matter—sigh~

Anyway, the work on her farm could be done by anyone; even the six-year-old Xiang Tao could operate machinery to till the soil, fertilize and pick tomatoes.

"Thank you, Madam," the dozen men said in unison, giving Qu Tong a crisp and proper salute, reigniting in their time-worn eyes a passion for a new life.

Old Six looked at Qu Tong with a hint of surprise before being pushed away by his excited comrades.

Having recruited over a dozen people all at once, that was enough for the moment, so Qu Tong took down the recruitment poster.

Ji Quan and his elderly father had work again, and Qu Tong still calculated their expenses separately.

Hu Qing and others also recognized some of the men who retired later and mentioned they were going to catch up with old times.

Then, such a scene occurred:

"Brother, by following our lady, you guys have really struck it lucky."

"Work hard, better days are still ahead. Our lady is famously known as a good boss."

"I checked it out myself—they only need to work eight hours a day, and the rest of the time is their own; it’s really comfortable. Makes me want to get a job too."

"See those rows of villas over there? You’ll be living in one of those eventually."

"You guys are so lucky, the workers on our lady’s farm get to eat Energy Fruits and Vegetables every day—others are envious but can’t even get them."

Although the dozen men had seen much of the world and were of considerable age, they were somewhat excited and kept asking Hu Qing and the others for more details about the lady.

Hu Qing spoke proudly, and the local residents who had finished their work came over to have a chat, every word filled with protection and praise for Qu Tong.

Qu Tong, however, was completely unaware of this as she was busy fostering grape seedlings.

After screening and personal inspection by Ke Jun, he had brought back many grape seedlings, and Qu Tong wanted to personally clear them of pollution to increase their survival rate.

Once everything was nearly in order, Qu Tong led her people back to Capital Star.

Back at school, Qu Tong would visit Gu Xiao every month to get a special permit for buying medication, hoarding some extra, just in case.

Today, when Gu Xiao handed over the signed special permit to Qu Tong, he kindly said, "Princess Consort, you don’t need to go through this trouble every month. You can have my dad pick it up directly from the military hospital; his privileges are even greater than mine."

"Your dad is?" Qu Tong raised her eyebrows.

Gu Xiao pushed up his glasses: "Gu Xiu, Princess Consort’s Guard Soldier."

Qu Tong paused, looking him over back and forth, and blurted out two words: "Not alike."

Gu Xiu looked very ordinary with yellowish skin and the rugged appearance of a loyal laborer.

In contrast, Gu Xiao had pale, cold skin, superior looks, and a refined demeanor.

Furthermore, their strengths were worlds apart—Gu Xiao hardly emitted any spiritual power that she could sense, while Gu Xiu and Gu Qiao were solidly SS+.
