The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Chapter 533 Solving the Problem of Soldiers

Liu Bai was quite reliable and that night he brought Song Qingci to a warehouse.

"This is the storeroom of the City Lord's Mansion. It used to store the dowries of my sisters, but now it has been vacant for a long time. Princess, you can take a look and see if it is suitable. Normally, no one comes here. It is relatively hidden."

Song Qingci walked in and took a look. The space was quite large. If the east and west side rooms were included, it was about the size of two basketball courts.

It should be enough to store things.

"Let's go here. Go back and withdraw all the guards around here so that it will be easier for my people to come in and put the things away."

Song Qingci put forward his own request.

"Of course you can. But do you really not need me to send someone to assist you?"

Liu Bai still believes that there is strength in numbers.

"No need for that. My whereabouts are still confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the less danger there is."

Song Qingci immediately waved her hand to refuse. She had to do this herself.

"Yes."

Liu Bai had no choice but to agree. With his current status, he really couldn't question the decision made by Song Qingci.

The two men walked out together after discussing it. Song Qingci thought of the difficulties he encountered in recruiting soldiers and said directly, "City Lord Liu, there is a saying that if the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain. Since your recruitment of soldiers has not achieved a good effect, have you ever thought about changing your thinking?"

Liu Bai frowned and asked in confusion, "What does the princess mean?"

"Are there no refugees or beggars in Beishui City? Aren't they human beings? As long as the conditions you offer are good enough, why would you worry that these people won't work hard for you? They are struggling between life and death. If they can really serve the country, it would not be a bad thing, right?"

Seeing that Liu Bai was a little dazed, Song Qingci thought that if he relied on himself to figure it out, it would probably go wrong, so he spoke directly.

Liu Bai was shocked when he heard this, "But those people are of low status, how can they serve as soldiers?"

The first requirement for soldiers is that they cannot be of low status.

If he were to go to the battlefield and have the chance to gain merit, how could a lowly person like him be rewarded?

Therefore, people of low status could do hard labor and perform corvée labor, but they could not serve as soldiers.

Song Qingci looked at Liu Bai as if he was a fool. He didn't expect that Liu Bai, at such a young age, had such rigid thinking.

Later, he realized that he had unconsciously compared him with Shan Li.

Yes, not everyone is Dan Li, and not everyone has his brains and mind.

After taking a deep breath, Song Qingci forced himself to look less ugly and said, "City Lord Liu, have you heard of the saying that one should act according to one's own wishes in an emergency? What time is it now? The people of Dayan are secretly brewing some earth-shattering conspiracy, and someone in the court is secretly sabotaging it. Are you now concerned about the household registration of the person who will fight alongside you in the future?"

"Why? If Beishui City is not strong enough, will Dayan let you go and let the people in this city live? We all have to fight in the battlefield, do people with military status have two more lives than people with low status?!"

Liu Bai was just following the previous rules, and he had never considered what Song Qingci said.

Hearing this, he fell into deep thought.

The more he thought about it, the redder his face became, an effect that could only be produced by extreme shame.

"The princess is right to reprimand me. I am too narrow-minded. I will send someone to do this right away."

There are many refugees and beggars in Beishui City, and those who can still live in Beishui City now are all those who have been sifted out by the waves. With a little training, they may be stronger than ordinary people.

"Remember to make a better offer. You are asking people to risk their lives for you, so don't be stingy and be reluctant to give up their material possessions. Having enough food and clothing is the basics, and don't be stingy with money either."

"I see."
