Inside the yamen, Qin Ming held his forehead helplessly.

Without him, there were too many civilians joining the army in front of him.

Qin Ming's mental expectation was probably one to two thousand people.

Now the number of common people has reached tens of thousands.

Qin Ming only needs some of them.

That will naturally eliminate most people!

"Your Highness Sixth, guarding Jinsha City is the responsibility of each of us! Please choose me!"

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, I have nothing but a sincere heart to serve my country with all my heart! I also want to protect our Jinsha City!"

"Your Highness, Sixth Prince, look at the common people. The common people have nowhere to use their strength..."

Noisy sounds continued to reach Qin Ming's ears.

Qin Ming suddenly felt like his head was pounding.

He did not expect that the people in Jinsha City would be so active.

Apparently when the call was made, 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 grain and three ounces of meat seems to be far greater than Qin Ming imagined!

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

He obviously would not recruit so many people.

Not to mention why these guys want to be defenders.

Just looking at them individually, how many of them can serve as defenders?

How many people can truly stand alone and protect one side?

It's not that Qin Ming denied their determination to protect their homeland.

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 screen out those who fish in troubled waters!

Thinking of this, Qin Ming coughed lightly.

Didn't notice it among the noisy crowd.

There was still a buzz.

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

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

He shouted loudly to everyone around him, "Quiet!"

"Chirping, what kind of behavior are you doing?! His Highness the Sixth Prince is still here!"

Seeing Pei Zhi's expression changed suddenly, the people around him still remembered his ruthless look when he beheaded him.

The voices gradually quieted down.

Qin Ming coughed again this time, and soon all the people looked at Qin Ming and listened carefully.

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

"That's right, His Highness saw that the defense of Jinsha City was weak, and he was worried about bandits escaping!"

"We have tentatively decided to recruit 1,500 defenders to protect Jinsha City!"

Qin Ming's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it could reach the ears of the people around him.

After hearing Qin Ming's words, the people around him looked stunned.

"Fifteen hundred people? Isn't this... a bit small?"

"That's right. Can these 1,500 defenders really protect our Jinsha City?"

"No matter what, it must be five thousand..."

They whispered to each other, reluctance written all over their faces.

This is also inevitable.

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

This only recruits 1,500 people. How can their probability of being selected be much higher than recruiting 5,000 people?

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

As long as you choose it, it means that not only can you fill your stomach, but the whole family will not go hungry!

Everyone wants to be chosen!

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

Qin Ming considered the current grain reserves and worked with Chief Meng Fan to arrive at the most appropriate number of troops to recruit.

If this amount is exceeded, food reserves will be very tight.

Unless Qin Ming exchanges points for food again.

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

This also leads to a dead end.

If you use points to exchange for food, then there will be no points to exchange for troops, and there will be no way to improve your own strength!

But if the points are exchanged for the skyrocketing military strength, and there is not enough food supply, the soldiers in the future will starve to death in large numbers!

Therefore, only when the demand for food is solved, can Qin Ming expand its military strength and territory wantonly!

Closer to home, Qin Ming only planned to recruit about 1,500 people.

After winking with Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi, who had discussed it long ago, immediately stepped forward with understanding.

"If you want to have a full meal, you have to endure hardship first!"

"Joining the army is not an easy thing!"

"If it's just for errands, you can quit now!"

Pei Zhi's voice was stern, and his eyes were so sharp that the people present were afraid to look directly at him.

Under his gaze, some people withdrew hesitantly.

Pei Zhi's expression didn't look like he was joking.

Thinking that joining the army will not be easy, more and more people are choosing to quit.

If filling your stomach requires strenuous effort and a life-or-death struggle.

They thought it was better to forget it.

Anyway, His Highness Sixth Prince can still give porridge every day.

Although it's not enough to eat, at least I won't starve to death.

Thinking this way, at least thousands of people chose to quit.

Looking at these retreating people, Qin Ming's eyes did not change much and were still full of indifference.

not enough!

His eyes scanned 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 were an old man with gray hair, a young man with confused eyes, and a woman with a sallow face.

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

Maybe it's for this little food, or maybe it's because there's still passion in my heart.

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

At least, until the last man in Sands City dies fighting.

Pei Zhi also noticed something strange among the crowd at this time, and his face turned green.

"Young and old, women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all come out to me!"

"This is joining the army, not a child's play!"

Moreover, these vulnerable groups are not very powerful themselves.

The armors worn by the Qingjia soldiers basically weighed dozens of kilograms!

If this is worn by the elderly and young children.

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

How about fighting?

Pei Zhi shouted sharply, his expression ugly.

No matter what time it was, he was still a general.

Defending the home and country, marching and fighting, that is a man’s mission and responsibility!

The men in Jinsha City are not dead yet, so where can such a group of old, young, women and children go to the battlefield?

Isn't it just to protect these things that men join the army to protect their families and their country?

How could he let these people go to the battlefield?

"General..."

Someone's voice trembled in the crowd.

Pei Zhi turned his head and glared at him, "Don't you understand? Young, old, women, children, old, weak, sick and disabled come out!"

There was silence in the crowd.

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

Soon, all that were left were young adults.
