Chapter 357 Conscription

   "Okay, you have to be careful if you want to pass it on, and you can only pass it on orally to the shopkeeper Liu, understand?" Gu Chengrui solemnly instructed.

   If this thing is discovered and used by others, it will be another disaster for Daming.

  Sun Hongliang looked at his serious expression and nodded solemnly: "Understood."

   "Well, I'll leave it to you here. When it's really a crisis, we'll rush over as soon as this thing rings." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he instructed him a few more words.

   Only then did Zhou Ying and Zhou Ying go to Lao Lin, and asked him to kill a sheep every day, or a cow in two days, so as to ensure food for the long-term workers.

   After taking a piece of beef suet and a piece of beef tenderloin, he went to Hu Chun to report a letter and then returned to the village.

   The village chief didn't even eat breakfast after getting up, so he asked two young men to follow him, went to the town to find Tian Jingzhong and told him about the group of refugees.

   "Why are there such wicked people?" Tian Jingzhong stood up in shock.

   "I didn't expect it either, but it really exists." The village chief said with a wry smile.

   then asked: "What should these people do, kill or..."

   "Come with me to the county seat. We have just planted sweet potatoes. It is not a trivial matter to be a refugee at this time. You must tell Master Kong."

   "Okay." As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, his stomach began to growl.

   Tian Jingzhong was stunned and asked, "Have you guys had breakfast yet?"

   "Isn't this trying to deal with those people as soon as possible, so..."

   "Then you have to take care of your own body." After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he asked the maid to bring a black-noodled vegetable bun and a bowl of mixed batter for each of them.

   After the three of them finished eating, they hurried to the county office in a carriage.

   It happened that the shopkeeper Liu was also there. He didn’t know what he was talking about, but his expression was quite serious.

   was stunned when he saw the village chief following him. After the two looked at each other, the magistrate Kong asked, "Did something happen?"

   Tian Jingzhong looked directly at the village chief after hearing this.

  The village chief nodded after understanding, and said without reservation what happened last night and what he heard: "The county magistrate will also ask the magistrate to decide what to do with those people."

  The magistrate of Kong was silent for a while after hearing this. It was really a rainy night. It's really hard to be an official these days.

   How can we resettle after so many refugees come? If we don’t resettle, we will just wait to die, and when there is a riot, it will be troublesome.

   "Cough cough." Shopkeeper Liu coughed dryly to remind him that everyone was still waiting for his answer.

   His cough reminded him, and then he said: "Well, anyway, it's a human life, it's a pity to kill them like this, let's put them in the army.

   Just yesterday I received an imperial edict requesting conscription. "

   "Recruiting, recruiting at this time?" Tian Jingzhong exclaimed.

   There is no place for peace in Daming now, and if we recruit again at this time, 80% of the time there will be trouble.

   No wonder their faces were so ugly when they came in.

   "Well, the Daliao in the north is getting more and more arrogant. It's a matter of time before the war starts, so it must be recruited." The magistrate Kong nodded.

   then said: "We have to discuss this matter before assigning it, so don't talk about it for the time being."

   "Understood." Tian Jingzhong nodded.

   The three village chiefs had no choice but to nod their heads, but they were all in a mess.

   Especially the village chief, their village is still safe and sound, except for the sweet potato, to put it bluntly, it was a lot of hard work, and it was able to withstand the prying eyes of outsiders.

   If the strong labor is taken away, what will their village do?
