Chapter 374: The Mysterious Man

Early the next morning, Ye Chen just woke up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Qian and Hongxiang came to say goodbye to him, saying that they were going to find Bai Duyu, and then pick up her brother together, and get to know a few other people by the way.

Ye Chen naturally understood their thoughts, and knew that they were doing their best to help him as much as possible.

So naturally he didn't refuse, and asked Yang Zhi to send them away after eating, and by the way, to protect their safety, so as not to happen yesterday's incident.

However, Ye Chen didn't have anything to do today, so he went to wander around the street, but to his surprise, the people on the street were not much different from usual, and even yesterday's fire did not make them pay too much attention.

When he looked around for a while, he realized that it was not that no one was discussing this matter, but that people's attention was now attracted by another matter, and they had no time to care about anything else.

Ye Chen walked to a notice where many people were watching and began to look at it.

It turned out that Wan Yu sent someone to post a conscription notice, saying that starting today, all the ten counties of Lin'an will start conscription, with 500 places in each county, and 100 taels of silver per person a year.

"Sure enough, it is rich, the military salary alone costs 50,000 taels of silver, and the grain and grass of 5,000 people, at least 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver a year, fortunately, there is money and food in the family, otherwise I really can't afford to squander it." Ye Chen whispered beside him, completely forgetting that he had also sent out tens of thousands of taels of silver yesterday.

Long before coming to Lin'an Mansion, Ye Chen had talked with Wan Kun many times, and the reason why Wan Kun agreed to let Ye Chen bring Wan Yu over was that he wanted Wan Yu to mix up with an official position, so that he could have a little success in the future.

Wan Kun also promised Ye Chen that the grain, grass and military salaries could be all taken care of, so that he could recruit troops and buy horses, but because of this, Ye Chen would spend money lavishly now.

It's just that what Ye Chen can't understand is the relationship between Wan Kun's status in the Wang family army and Wang Zhitian.

If he really wants any power, let alone unity, even the general Wang Zhitian should not be stingy.

Of course, it is only the general of the ordinary army, the real Wang family's army, even if Wang Zhitian agrees, the soldiers below will not agree.

In Ye Chen's eyes, the real Wang Jiajun, just like his comrades-in-arms in the special training camp, will only be impressed by the strong and will not succumb to external forces.

When Ye Chen was in a daze, a middle-aged man next to him lightly touched his arm, and then asked: "Little brother, do you say that this conscription notice is true or false, one hundred taels of silver a year, which is twice as high as other places!" ”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect someone to ask this question, and replied: "It should be true, if it is fake, the government will definitely send someone over as soon as possible, and it will be fine after a long time, I don't think it should be wrong." ”

Before Ye Chen came out, he was worried that he would be recognized, and then attract attention, so he deliberately put on makeup, so even the people standing next to him did not recognize him.

"It must be true, I saw them post a notice with my own eyes in the morning, and the leader is the Lord Metropolitan who is in charge of this conscription, I heard that he and the prefect are brothers, and they must not be wrong." A young man next to him said excitedly.

"Thin monkey, why are you so happy, you are the only seedling in your family, not to mention a hundred taels of silver a year, even a thousand taels of silver a year, and you can't go." The middle-aged man who asked Ye Chen just now said with a smile.

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw the young man drooping his face and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that this is a good opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill orcs, if the orcs attack in the future, I'm afraid we don't even have the strength to protect ourselves." ”

As soon as the words ended, the people around them began to laugh, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"You... You guys... What are you laughing at, am I not right! The thin monkey said unhappily, but he didn't continue to argue with this group of people, he had already become accustomed to it.

Although most of the Water Moon Continent is calm now, only the southernmost Qin State has just encountered an orc attack.

But because of the strength of the Qin State for thousands of years, everyone believed that the Qin State would be fine, and as for the Zhenyuan Mansion being attacked by the orcs, it had long been ignored by people.

In their hearts, there is a "god of war", and the orcs will never be able to break through the five cities of Biansai, let alone Zhenyuanfu.

So now people who want to join the army are all for the sake of food and clothing, or spend money to get an official position in the future, and no one thought that the orcs would have anything to do with them.

"If you don't believe it, it won't be long before you'll know if what I'm saying is true or false." The thin monkey left the place after speaking, leaving only the sound of ridicule from the surrounding people.

Because on the Water Moon Continent, there is an unwritten rule that conscription only requires young people between the ages of fourteen and thirty-eight, among whom those whose parents are alive and are only children, and those who have been married for two years without children are not allowed.

The main reason for doing this is naturally to prevent a fault in the country's population, and the thin monkey's parents are not talking about it, and as an only son, he just asked for a daughter-in-law last year, so the conscription naturally has nothing to do with him.

Of course, these are only for some relatively mild wars, and if it is a matter of life and death, it is a different matter.

When everyone laughed at the thin monkey, Ye Chen quietly followed, although he didn't know the thin monkey, but the thin monkey's words just now touched him.

He has the knowledge that is thousands of years ahead of here, and with the news of Wang Zhitian, Liu Yirou and others before, he only knew about the crisis of the orc's attack, and the rest is that Emperor Qi probably didn't take the orcs seriously.

But now in such a remote place, there is a person who can think of these things in advance, which inevitably makes Ye Chen curious.

As a professional special soldier, tracking this matter is definitely commonplace for Ye Chen, especially since the other party is still an ordinary person.

It's just that just when Ye Chen just walked to a corner, the thin monkey suddenly stopped, and then turned around and said, "Come out, who are you and why are you following me!" ”

Ye Chen in the back was stunned, thinking that he had been discovered, and was about to walk out, but stopped again, because he was confident that he had not revealed any flaws, and the thin monkey was probably acting on purpose.

Sure enough, the thin monkey waited for three minutes after shouting, and only after finding that no one had come out did he enter a courtyard opposite him.

"It's a good thing he didn't go out, but why did he do it, is there something unsightly in it?" Ye Chen muttered to himself in the back, and then continued to follow quietly.

After the thin monkey walked into the courtyard, he walked directly to the backyard, walked to the corner room, and said with a smile at the door: "Master, I came back and bought you a roast chicken." ”

At this moment, an old voice came out: "Well, come in, and invite our guests in by the way." (To be continued.) )
