"It's really inconvenient to have no one around to help you. Well, let me follow you."

Li Xiangjun continued: "Mom, my daughter has one more thing I want to ask you for, and you must help me."

"Okay, then you didn't come back to see me." Li Zhenli pretended to be angry and said, "This is a waste of time for me."

"Mom, of course my daughter is back to visit you." Li Xiangjun said coquettishly, "It's just a matter of course. Oh, mom, just help your daughter, help me."

"Okay, what's going on?" Li Zhenli couldn't resist.

Li Xiangjun said: "Mom, can you find more people to come over? My daughter wants to buy someone."

Buying people was actually just an excuse. What Li Xiangjun really wanted to do was recruit soldiers, and they were female soldiers. Chongzhen had personally promised her to recruit a battalion of female soldiers.

Li Xiang returned to Nanjing this time just to recruit troops.

"You want to buy someone?" Li Zhenli asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"Rough messenger maids." Li Xiangjun said, "My daughter wants to buy a group of rough messenger maids to serve around her, but you'd better ask those people to prepare more candidates. My daughter has to pick some who are strong and have strong bones."

Li Zhenli looked at Li Xiangjun with a look that was hard to describe and could only mean.

"Xiang girl, tell mom honestly, you and..." Li Zhenli asked in a low voice.

"Mom." Li Xiangjun answered evasively, "Don't ask, just go and find someone for me."

"You are treating your mother as a maid." Li Zhenli said, dumbfounded. "It's dark today. Even if you look for her, you have to wait until tomorrow."

…

Li Zhenli really treats Li Xiangjun as her own daughter.

Early the next morning, Li Zhenli personally called everyone in the Qinhuai River area to her home.

As soon as Li Xiangjun explained the selection requirements, dozens of people immediately dispersed, looking for girls with strong physiques, big feet and thick hands in Nanjing and even in the countryside outside the city.

That's right, Li Xiangjun wants a girl, not a married woman.

But this was actually not Li Xiangjun's request, but Chongzhen's special instruction to her.

Chongzhen asked Li Xiangjun to recruit unmarried girls. The reason was very simple, just to find wives for the soldiers.

Nearly 150,000 soldiers from thirty towns in Xuzhou have officially retired, and the clearing and division of Endian are also in full swing under the auspices of Du Yinxi.

But in order for these 150,000 town soldiers to truly settle down in Xuzhou, they must find a way to solve their lifelong problems.

It is a solution to let these town soldiers go back to their hometowns to marry wives, but there will always be some town soldiers who are too stupid to marry wives. At this time, the court has to find a way to act as matchmakers for them.

What are you talking about, do you think the daughter-in-law assigned by the court has big hands, feet, a thick face, and is not handsome? If you have the ability, then find a wife yourself. If you don't have the ability, don't act blindly. It would be great to have a daughter-in-law, but you are still picky.

Besides, after receiving Li Xiangjun's orders, those dozens of people searched everywhere for girls who met the requirements.

Then that afternoon, the first batch of qualified girls were sent to Wuyi Lane, more than a hundred of them!

After Li Xiangjun asked Ge Nanniang to register the names and place of birth of these girls, he asked them to go home and wait for news.

After sending Ren Ya away, Li Xiangjun took Ge Nanniang and dozens of border troops and began to go door to door to recruit soldiers. She was the girl Ren Yazi was looking for before.

Soon we came to one of the Zhutanfang shops.

I saw an old man beating a strong girl with a thorn stick, and the girl's back was already stained with blood.

While beating him, the old man kept scolding: "You can't do anything, but you are quite good at eating. Finally, a wealthy family is willing to buy you as a rough maid, but you don't want it. What else can you do, me?"

Tears fell from the girl's face, but she managed not to cry.

Li Xiangjun couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately yelled: "Stop, don't hit anyone!"
