Chapter 44 Only Young Men Are Accepted!

Inside the government office, Qin Ming held his forehead helplessly.

There was no other reason, the number of people who wanted to join the army was too large.

Qin Ming's psychological expectation was about one to two thousand people.

Now the number of people has reached tens of thousands.

Qin Ming only needs a part of them.

Then of course, most of the people have to be eliminated!

"Sixth Prince, guarding Jinsha City is the responsibility of each of us! Please be sure to choose me!"

"Sixth Prince, I have nothing but a sincere heart and I am loyal to my country! I also want to protect our Jinsha City!"

"Sixth Prince, look at the common people, the common people have nowhere to display their strength..."

The noisy voices kept coming into Qin Ming's ears.

Qin Ming suddenly felt a headache.

He didn't expect that the people in Jinsha City would be so active.

When he called for it before, only one or two hundred people responded.

As a result, after he posted the welfare benefits of the defenders, the people in Jinsha City suddenly became active.

The temptation of this pound of food and three ounces of meat seems to be far more attractive than Qin Ming imagined!

Looking at the people in front of him, Qin Ming frowned slightly.

He obviously would not recruit so many people.

Let alone why these guys want to be defenders.

Just looking at them individually, how many people can be defenders?

How many people can really stand alone and guard one side?

It’s not that Qin Ming denied their determination to protect their homes.

But there are not many opportunities at this time, and Qin Ming needs to give these opportunities to those who need them more!

Therefore, it is very necessary to filter out those who fish in troubled waters!

Thinking of this, Qin Ming coughed lightly.

The noisy crowd did not notice it.

There was still a buzzing sound.

But the surrounding Qingjia soldiers soon noticed it, and they all stepped forward, with sharp eyes in their eyes.

At this time, Pei Zhi also quickly noticed the change in Qin Ming’s expression.

He shouted loudly to the people around him, "Quiet!"

"What's wrong with all the chattering?! His Highness the Sixth Prince is still here!"

Seeing Pei Zhi's furious expression, the people around him still remembered how ruthless he was when he beheaded people.

The voices gradually quieted down.

Qin Ming coughed again this time, and soon all the people looked at Qin Ming and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"I believe everyone has heard about the recruitment of garrisons in Jinsha City."

"That's right, Your Highness sees that the defense of Jinsha City is weak, and I am worried that there will be bandits roaming around!"

"It has been decided to recruit 1,500 garrisons to protect Jinsha City!"

Qin Ming's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it could be heard by the people around him.

Hearing Qin Ming's words, the people around him were stunned.

"One thousand five hundred? Isn't this... a little too few!"

"That's right, can these one thousand five hundred defenders really protect our Jinsha City?"

"At least five thousand..."

They whispered to each other, their faces full of reluctance.

This is also inevitable.

The fewer people recruited, the lower the probability of them being selected.

This is only one thousand five hundred people, how can their probability of being selected be higher than recruiting five thousand people?

This must be that the more people recruited, the easier it is for them to be selected!

As long as they are selected, it means that not only can they fill their stomachs, but their whole family will not go hungry!

Everyone wants to be selected!

But this is not something Qin Ming can decide at will.

Qin Ming considered the current food reserves and worked with Meng Fan, the chief clerk, to come up with the most appropriate number of recruits.

If it exceeds this number, the food reserves will be very tight.

Unless Qin Ming uses points to exchange for food again.

But using points to exchange for food is not a long-term strategy after all!

This is a dead end.

If points are exchanged for food, then there will be no points for troops, and there will be no way to improve their own strength!

But if points are exchanged for a surge in troops, there will be no sufficient food supply, and the soldiers will starve to death in large numbers!

Therefore, only by solving the demand for food can Qin Ming expand his troops and territory!

Back to the point, Qin Ming only intends to recruit about 1,500 people.

He winked at Pei Zhi, who had already discussed it and immediately stood up.

"If you want to eat enough, you have to suffer first!"

"Joining the army is not an easy thing!"

"If you just want to get a job, you can quit now!"

Pei Zhi's voice was stern, and the light in his eyes was so sharp that the people present dared not look directly at him.

Under his gaze, some people hesitated to quit.

Pei Zhi's expression did not look like a joke.

Thinking that joining the army would definitely not be easy, more and more people chose to quit.

If filling their stomachs requires a lot of effort and a life-and-death struggle.

They thought it was better to forget it.

Anyway, the Sixth Prince can give out porridge every day.

Although it is not enough to fill their stomachs, at least they will not starve to death.

Thinking of this, at least thousands of people chose to withdraw.

Looking at these people who retreated, Qin Ming's eyes did not change much, and were still filled with indifference.

Not enough!

His eyes swept through the crowd.

Qin Ming's eyes became a little stunned.

He seemed to see something special in it...?

Immediately, his eyes became complicated.

Among them, there were old men with gray hair, young boys with confused eyes, and women with sallow faces.

Qin Ming wanted to say something, but he could only sigh.

Maybe it was for this little food, or maybe there was still a passion in his heart.

But no matter what, Qin Ming would not choose to let them join the army.

At least, before the last man in Jinsha City died in battle.

Pei Zhi also noticed the abnormality in the crowd at this time, and his face turned green.

"Old, young, women, children, the old, weak, sick and disabled, all get out of the line!"

"This is joining the army, not a joke!"

Besides, these vulnerable groups are not strong in themselves.

The armor on the Qingjia Army basically weighs dozens of kilograms!

If this is worn by the elderly and children.

I'm afraid they can't even take a step!

How can we fight?

Pei Zhi shouted sharply, his face ugly.

No matter when, he is a general after all.

Defending the country, marching and fighting, that is the mission and responsibility of men!

The men in Jinsha City have not died out yet, how can such a group of old, young women and children go to the battlefield?

Men join the army to defend the country, isn't it to protect these?

How can he let these people go to the battlefield?

"General..."

Someone in the crowd trembled.

Pei Zhi turned his head and glared at him, "Don't you understand? Old, young women and children, as well as the old, weak and sick, stand out!"

The crowd was silent.

After a while, some people gradually began to retreat, and their figures were lonely.

Soon, only young and middle-aged people were left.
