Chapter 434 Conscription!
Sujia Village lived in peace and tranquility, but the atmosphere in the county government office was not so good.

Grandpa Lu Xian paced back and forth, "Didn't you just donate food to the Northwest a few months ago? Why are there fights again?"

Steward Ma, "Master County, this time I didn't say I'm going to donate food!"

"I hope it's a food donation. It's a trivial matter to donate food, but now it's time to conscript..."

"Is conscription easy? We all know that there is a chance of a narrow escape, so we don't want to go."

"Master County, what should we do then? Don't you want to levy?"

Butler Ma was also worried, why did his young master come to Pingyang County and there were so many big and small things?
Grandpa Lu County touched his face, "If it's not easy to conscript, we have to conscript. The court only gave us a month's time. Fortunately, the number of people required in our county is not particularly large. It is said that the further south you go, the more quotas for conscription."

"You lead people to calculate overnight, see how many villages there are in our county, how many clans there are in a village, and on average, how many soldiers a clan needs to recruit. After the calculation is done, go to each village to inform."

Butler Ma hurriedly replied, "Yes, the villain has remembered, and the villain will take someone to do the calculation."

Lord Lu waved his hand and signaled to go on. When Butler Ma left, he sat slumped on a chair. He originally thought that he had experienced two natural disasters in Pingyang County, and the bad luck should have passed. Who knows...

Hey, it is said that it is repeated again and again, but it is not repeated again and again. How come it is an exception when it comes to it?

A group of generals with sabers suddenly appeared in the county town, and people who knew about it began to panic from discussion.

"Hey, have you heard? There is another war in the northwest, and the conscription is coming!!!"

"Huh? Conscription?"

"Oh my god, conscription? Isn't that a death sentence..."

"Hey, is it true or not? How do you know?"

"My relative works in the county government. She heard it. How do you think I know?"

"Oh my God, there is only one son in my family..."

Su Changyong passed by a few people who were talking, frowned, and hurriedly led Su Cheng.

Su Cheng and the others moved away, approached Su Changyong and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, are you really going to fight?"

Su Changyong frowned, "This is not something you and I should discuss."

He said so on the lips, but he murmured in his heart that he didn't worry about wars being the court's business, but if he wanted to be recruited... would someone in their Sujia Village also have to serve in the military?Is it a family?still····
After walking two steps, he stopped suddenly, and said, "You go to the shop in the north of the city first, and I'll go back to Sujia Village."

"Huh? What?"

Su Cheng was a little dazed, before he could react, Su Changyong had already walked away.

Walking all the way to the shop in the north of the city in a daze, Lin Song looked at Su Cheng in a daze, and saw that there was no one behind, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the shopkeeper? Why are you alone? Didn't the shopkeeper say that he has something to tell us? "

"Ah? Oh, back to Sujia Village..."

Su Cheng was still in a daze.

Lin Song, "...Okay. But what's wrong with you?"

Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "Ah, that, on the way the shopkeeper and I came, I heard about the imperial court...so, that's it..."

Lin Song exclaimed, "What? Conscription?"

Then he paused, "Hey...that might be true."

Su Cheng became more energetic, "How can you be sure it's true?"

Lin Song pulled Su Cheng closer and said, "You know, this shop is in the north of the city, and most of the people living here are officials, big and small. I heard them chatting when they came to buy snacks. "

Su Cheng and Lin Song looked at each other with panic.

"Huh? Brother, why are you back at this time? What happened?"

Su Changying looked at Su Changyong who looked serious.

Just as Su Changyong was about to speak, when he saw a passing clansman, he said hello, and hurriedly took Su Changying's hand and walked towards Su Changle's house.

Seeing his younger brother's doubts, Su Changyong said, "Go to Chang Le's house first, and we'll talk about it later."

Although she was puzzled, Su Changying followed Su Changyong honestly.

When I came to Su Changle's house, the Hua family was there, Su Changyong looked around, and still told what he saw, "...that's how it is, there is a lot of rumors in the county now, saying that it is going to be recruited. look."

The teacup in Hua's hand fell, and the tea spilled on her foot, "Chang Yong, what are you talking about? Conscription? Are you kidding me?"

Su Changyong sighed heavily, "Sister-in-law Chang Le, do you think I'll make a joke of it?"

Hua's tears fell instantly when she heard the words.

Su Changle frowned, "Why are you crying? Even if you want to be recruited, you don't have to recruit our son."

Turning to look at Su Changyong again, "Did you tell the patriarch about this?"

Su Changyong shook his head, "How dare I tell the patriarch? What if, what if it's not true?"

Su Changle thought for a while, "You're right, what if it's not true? Don't talk about it, anyway, if you want to be recruited, the yamen will notify you in a few days..."

Su Changying thought of his son, and felt uncomfortable. If he was conscripted, would his own son also... No, no, Su Changying shook her head, definitely not, Chen Yuan is still young, only thirteen, definitely not of·······
They didn't have to wait long, and the next day the yamen came to the door, and found the chiefs of Su, Li, Lin and Lu who had just moved here in Sujia Village.

"The thing is like this. The Su clan has ten people from the big clan, six from the Li clan, three from the Lin clan and three from the Lu clan, a total of 22 people. They will report to the county government in seven days and leave in ten days."

"If anyone violates it, the whole clan will take it down!"

"Farewell..."

The yamen servant who was familiar with him today did not chat with Su Zheng like he used to, and rushed to the next village to inform him after hastily explaining.

Only Patriarch Su, Patriarch Lin, Patriarch Li, and Patriarch Lu looked at each other, and they all looked solemn in each other's eyes.

Su Zheng was the first to speak, "The old man wants to go back and inform his clansmen, so he will take his leave first."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the remaining three patriarchs and left in a hurry!

Su Zheng thought about the adult men in the clan, and sighed inwardly.

Su Rui came to the ancestral hall out of nowhere, and the weather has been good recently, so why is there another meeting?
Seeing Hua's and the others, Su Rui just wanted to smile and go up to say hello, when she saw Zhao wipe away tears, and Hua's and others also had red and swollen eyes.

"..."

Su Rui thought to herself, what's the matter?What happened in the clan these days?She observed the next four weeks and found that all women were crying...
At this moment, Patriarch Su came out, glanced at the clansmen around, and sighed, "Hey, I think you all already know, what did the yaman who came to the village this morning tell you something?"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

It's okay if the patriarch didn't say anything, but when he said that the woman who had stopped crying, she started to cry again.

"..."

Su Rui was at a loss, no, who can tell her what happened?

If it is an ordinary patriarch, he will definitely not be happy, so what is crying in the ancestral hall?Are there any rules?But now... Hey, he is also a father, a grandfather, he understands the crying clansmen.

Although their clan only needs ten people, not one person per household, it sounds like not many, but how do these ten people come out?Whose order?Is it from my family?They don't know, so it's understandable to cry.

"Okay, I have already discussed with the elders in the clan. Except for orphans and widows, the rest of the family will come up to draw lots. You don't need to go for the blue lottery. The red lottery is ready to go in ten days!"

Su Rui's family is special, there is no father and no mother, younger siblings, so there is no need to go up to draw lots, and the women who usually have a decent relationship stare at him jealously.

"..."

Su Rui feels that she is very innocent. Even if she has a suitable one, it doesn't mean that she will definitely get a red lottery...

The results of the final draw were both happy and sad. Su Changan was unlucky and got the red lottery.
