The farmhouse's fierce wife is the master of the house

Chapter 405
Ye Xiangchun didn't understand at first, but after hearing Jing Chen say this, she understood: money can turn ghosts around.

Ye Xiangchun asked in a low voice: "Then if you don't have to go if you take all the money, wouldn't the army be recruited?"

"It's not wartime, why do we need so many troops? And now the imperial court doesn't allow the local government to raise too many soldiers, so it's limited in terms of food and salary." Jing Chen patiently explained to Ye Xiangchun.

The higher-ups don't care about the number of conscription, and even control the number of troops.

But the local government regards this as a tool to enrich their own pockets. The common people don't understand the meaning of the court. If they don't want the man in the family to serve as a soldier, they have to spend money to clear it.

When the official left, the villagers surrounded the old tree at the entrance of the village.

Most of them couldn't read, but they still stood in front of the tree and pointed, and some even sighed.

Someone said: "This is going to be in a hurry. I just sold the grain in the autumn harvest, so this is the case."

Someone also said: "My family is fine, the eldest just got married, so there is no need to go."

But there are also those who cry directly: "My son is just right, and the family can't afford that much money, so what should I do."

Ye Xiangchun looked around, some she knew, some she didn't know, and she couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

Seeing Ye Xiangchun frowning and not speaking, Jing Chen gently pulled her out of the circle, and asked as he walked back, "Why are you unhappy? Haven't you thought about who this conscription will take away?"

"Ah?" Ye Xiangchun froze for a moment, thinking that Jing Chen's words must have deep meaning.

Jing Chen blinked, and pouted towards the path on the other side.

Ye Xiangchun followed his line of sight, and happened to see Wang Biao leaning on the fence and looking this way.

Ye Xiangchun's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Wang Biao should not be 28 years old, right?"

Jing Chen said "tsk": "Coincidentally, I asked sister Xiuzhi a few days ago, and Wang Biao was just 27."

"Pfft..." Ye Xiangchun smiled and asked again: "Will Wang Biao use money to bail himself out?"

"He is strong enough to kill pigs, and there is a lack of such people in the army. He is brave. No matter how bad he is, he is not bad as a cook." Jing Chen scratched Ye Xiangchun's palm lightly, and said: "For a talent like him, the price tag is high. I guess he can't afford that much money."

Ye Xiangchun "giggled" and said, "I have to tell him to sign the bookmark and leave as soon as possible, and don't bother my sister any more."

Jing Chen shook his head and said, "It's fine if he doesn't sign. If he dies in the army, he will receive a pension. Sister Xiuzhi will not lose money."

Ye Xiangchun felt a stomach ache when he heard that he was about to laugh, and said, "That's not right. Wang Biao has a broken hand and a leg, can the army take him?"

"You didn't read the notice carefully, did you?" Jing Chen frowned, "The notice said that he wanted a man in good health, and it didn't say that a man with a handicap was not allowed."

Seeing that Ye Xiangchun was still not enlightened, Jing Chen said anxiously: "Xiangchun, you are usually very smart, why is your brain a bit rusty today? Didn't you think that there is still a cripple in the village who is also quite healthy?"

Ye Xiangchun grinned, frowned, and wrinkled his little nose, guessing: "Brother Wang? He can join the army with crutches? No, Brother Wang should be over 28, right?"

"A new cripple." Jing Chen said impatiently, "Lin Meng."

Ye Xiangchun was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect this person.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Xiangchun's mind, he grabbed Jing Chen and said, "This officer and soldier came by such a coincidence, couldn't it be you?"
