The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

After Xiong Er led the Zhendong Army northward, Ji Xiang began to recruit troops in Jinling City.

Because Jinling City suffered from successive disasters and the population dropped sharply, Xue Huai'en believed that the recruitment work would not go smoothly.

"Although everyone has no food to eat, some people will join the army to have enough food. But in the past two years, in order to have enough food, most people in the city have gone out to seek a way to survive, and only half of the original people remain in the city."

"Only this half, most of them are elderly people, women and children with limited mobility."

"Princess, do you think these people can serve as soldiers and fight?"

Seeing that Xue Huaien was so worried, Jixiang smiled and said, "We can give them better conditions. One person can serve as a soldier and the whole family can have enough food."

Emperor Likang quickly stopped him, "That won't work. It would require a lot of silver, which we don't have."

But he turned around and stared at Jixiang, "Jixiang, do you still have money there?"

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Since my father has handed over the military conscription to his daughter-in-law, what will my daughter-in-law do? Can my father support her unconditionally?"

Emperor Likang immediately felt that his words just now were abrupt.

Since Jixiang dared to say that if one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will have enough to eat, he must have already figured it out.

Why should he say more words?

So I scolded myself several times.

Then he laughed and apologized to Jixiang, "It's all my fault that my father brought too little silver when he went out this time, and he was always worried about not having enough money. Since Jixiang you are responsible for the recruitment, my father promises not to say anything more in the future, and I will leave all the power to you."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth with his hands.

He looked like I was determined not to steal the conversation from now on.

This made Ji Xiang, Xue Huaien, and Eunuch Guo almost burst out laughing.

The auspicious recruitment office is located at the gate of the government office.

A large wooden board shaped like a blackboard stood there, with various preferential treatment conditions for conscription written on it.

Why is it an honor for one person to serve as a soldier and for the whole family?

One person serves as a soldier, and the whole family has enough to eat, etc.

Moreover, the promotion conditions after entering the army are also listed one by one.

How can one be a leader of a hundred, how can one be a member of a thousand households?

Anyway, as long as no matter who is going to that station, the literate person will get excited after reading it, and he can't wait to sign his name and join the army immediately.

As for those who are illiterate, Xue Huai'en will personally explain it to them step by step.

Many times, Xue Huai'en doesn't need to finish reading before someone wants to leave their name on the registration book.

"I want to be a soldier, and I want to find a future for my wife and children!"

"Yes, I want to be a soldier too. As long as I become a soldier, they will be exempted from part of the tax."

"I want to sign up too, I want to sign up too."

Emperor Likang looked at this lively scene and looked at Xue Huaien in confusion.

"Didn't you say it would be difficult to recruit troops in your Jinling City?"

"Why do I feel that it will exceed the 20,000 places expected by the princess?"

Xue Huai'en touched his head in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, didn't you see that most of the people who signed up were around thirty years old?"

"Too few young men!"

After being reminded by Xue Huaien, Emperor Likang took a closer look.

Sure enough, some even had snow-white beards, and they even wanted to squeeze in and write their names on them.

Seeing that Jixiang did not refuse the gray-bearded old man's registration, Emperor Likang became a little anxious.

"You can't let people like that sign up to be soldiers. I'm afraid they won't even be able to climb on the back of a horse."

Emperor Likang said that he was going to stop him.

Xue Huaien coughed twice, "Your Majesty, I still remember that you said that this matter was left to the princess."

He was afraid that Emperor Likang would come forward and interfere with the auspicious conscription.

If there were no soldiers to defend the city, the entire people of Jinling City might lose their lives.

Emperor Likang lamented on the side, "The princess is young and ignorant. People like that usually don't dare to say what will happen. If she really goes to the battlefield, she will drag everyone down."

Before Emperor Likang had finished struggling, someone raised objections in front of him.

"Princess, can people like us really join the army?"

"Actually, I just wanted to give it a try and get some food for my wife and children back home. I didn't expect that you would actually agree?"

"But I have old arms and legs. If we really want to fight, I won't be able to do it."

"Princess, you should know this, right?"

Jixiang smiled and said, "Old man, of course I understand all of this."

"Then why did you write my name on it?"

This person is the old man with a gray beard just now. He is indeed a little confused now.

Because if he really joins the army, he will have to fight on the battlefield, which makes him a little nervous.

I just want to cross out my name.

"We originally set a three-day period for repentance." Ji Xiang pointed to the wooden sign next to him.

"Within three days, if you no longer want to join the army, just come over and cross your name out."

"However, we also have regulations. If you regret it, you must not only take back the five taels of silver we issued at the time, but also pay another five kilograms of grain as a regret fee."

"Of course, we also stipulate that if you can recommend someone to join the army, then you don't have to pay these five kilograms of food. We can also give you one tael of silver as a hard fee for helping us recruit soldiers."

The old man was a little excited, "It means that I don't want to be a soldier anymore. If I can introduce others to sign up, not only will you not fine me, but you will also give me one tael of silver for my hard work?"

Ji Xiang nodded, "Yes, but you have to take back the five taels you just got. Moreover, the person you recommend must meet the requirements, a young and strong man under the age of twenty-five."

The old man quickly returned the five taels of silver he had just received to Jixiang, "I will go home and call my son to sign up!"

He said and trotted away.

The old people watching the excitement also left one after another when they heard that there was such a good thing.

Emperor Likang did not expect that he was still worried, fearing that Jixiang would do something that would cause criticism among the people.

Unexpectedly, in just one moment, Jixiang not only solved the problem, but also expanded the source of troops.

But as the king of a country, he didn't even have such a good plan as Ji Xiang.

I couldn't help but like Jixiang a little more.

His son is really lucky to marry such a princess.

The future of the Great Holy Dynasty should be that there are successors.

When Emperor Likang thought of this, a smile appeared on his lips for no apparent reason.
