Chapter 162 - 156 Recruiting Soldiers 2
Zhao Hanzhang pulled County Magistrate Chai aside and sighed, "County Lord, I asked them when they came to enlist. They said there is no grain left at home. Even if you take them back, you won’t get any food from them. Since I’ve already registered them, why not let me take them away?"
County Magistrate Chai looked at her in shock, not knowing where she got the nerve to say such things.
"Don’t worry, those who are already registered don’t count. I won’t take any more people from Shangcai County in the future."
County Magistrate Chai was speechless, and it took him a while to find his words, "Third Lady, how can you tell if they are from Shangcai County? What if they claim to be from Yingchuan or Yu Yang?"
"I can tell by their accent. As long as they have a Shangcai accent, I won’t take them, how about that?"
County Magistrate Chai got excited and pointed back at those people, "What about them..."
"Ah, I’m not good with the Shangcai accent, and Mr. Ji doesn’t understand it either. I’ll find a few officials from Shangcai to oversee the process, ensuring no one slips through."
After pondering for a moment, County Magistrate Chai said, "Your station cannot be set up here anymore; it’s too close to the city gate. Villagers are coming as soon as they hear the news."
"Then where do you suggest setting it up?"
County Magistrate Chai gritted his teeth and said, "Move it sixty miles out, farther away."
