Because as long as someone has questions, it means that they really care about this matter and are interested in it.

Qian Ruoyu said immediately.

"Don't worry. After all, this is the bandit-suppression army led by me personally. How could there be no connection? It's just on the surface... Do you understand what I mean?"

Qian Ruoyu did not say all the words that followed. After all, if she really said it, it might get to the emperor's ears, which would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

When Qian Ruoyu said this, the young men in front of him immediately opened their eyes wide.

"If it's to fight for the palace, I'm willing! Our village still owes the prince a favor!"

"Yes, yes, that's right, I would too!"

In an instant, seven or eight young men came over and agreed to join Qian Ruoyu's bandit-suppression army, which made Qian Ruoyu even happier.

Then Qian Ruoyu said to the village chief.

"Village head, please tell everyone in the village that anyone between the ages of eighteen and forty-five can join the bandit suppression army! This princess is here to accept reports from everyone."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, the village chief naturally did not hesitate at all, but instead ran to notify every household in the village.

The villages near the capital are not small villages, but large villages with nearly a thousand people.

In just one hour, the line in front of Qian Ruoyu was filled with people, and there were nearly fifty of them!

Even Qian Ruoyu did not expect that so many people would want to sign up. After all, their village had only recruited twenty-one people before.

Now the amount used is more than double that before.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu naturally included them one by one and asked them to go to the south of the capital.

During this period, Qian Ruoyu asked Jin Lianhua to hurry back and inform Yan'er to come to the south of Beijing to prepare to take over.

After all, Yan'er has been with me for more than ten years, so she can write, so it is particularly appropriate to let her do it.

After the conscription was completed, there were still a dozen people standing behind, looking at Qian Ruoyu with longing.

"Do you have any questions?"

One of the middle-aged men said immediately.

"Princess, you can't be like this! Although I am already forty-six years old this year, I am still strong and healthy. Please accept me as your recruit. I can also join the war!"

Qian Ruoyu thought about it and realized that although the man in front of him looked to be forty-six years old, he was still strong and healthy.

After all, it is a nearby village, and the villagers usually do farm work. It is also close to the capital and is quite prosperous. No one looks thin.

Several other people also spoke up, and it turned out that it was because they were over the age limit set by Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu also knew in his heart that it was not just the young people in their early twenties who were fighting on the battlefield. Instead, it was these middle-aged people who had stronger combat effectiveness.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu nodded.

"Okay, since you are so sincere in asking me to agree to your request, you can join the bandit suppression army. However, if there are any benefits in the future, you must tell me in advance, and don't be greedy!"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, everyone nodded and spoke excitedly.

"Please rest assured, Princess. We are eager to serve you, the prince. How could we be lazy?"

"That's right, we joined the bandit suppression army to repay the prince and you! Anyone who slacks off is shameless!"

Hearing what they said, Qian Ruoyu was completely relieved, and the number of people recruited reached seventy at one point!

Qian Ruoyu then said to the village chief: "Village chief, I still need some blacksmiths. Are there any blacksmiths in our village?"

The village chief thought about it for a moment and then spoke immediately.

"Yes, yes. There are two blacksmiths in our village. Although they usually only make farm tools, they can also make swords and spears... I'm just afraid that the government in the capital will control it..."

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu smiled gently.

"Haha, so that's what you're worried about. You don't have to worry so much. Join my bandit-suppression army and I'll give you the qualifications!"

"You ask the two blacksmiths to pack up and then send them to the military camp. We will be stationed in the east of the city and will need a lot of blacksmiths!"

"Just tell them and let them rest assured. This princess will definitely give them enough compensation so that they can have a good harvest and a prosperous year!"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the village chief nodded immediately.

And just after that, Jin Lianhua returned to Qian Ruoyu, and the two continued to head towards the next village.

Within three days, Qian Ruoyu and Jin Lianhua visited nearly twenty nearby villages and recruited more than three thousand people in total. Together with the original number, the reserve number of the bandit-suppression army reached a full four thousand people.

Although there was still one thousand less than the expected five thousand people, Qian Ruoyu was already much more relieved at this time.

After all, for Qian Ruoyu, these 5,000 people were originally the predetermined number, and it would be great if there could be more.

Nearly twenty blacksmiths were recruited among them, and Qian Ruoyu gathered them all towards the east of the city.

And at this time Si Yin also found Qian Ruoyu.

"My queen, I heard that you got the command of the bandit suppression army... Is that true? My queen, I'm not questioning you... It's just that the prince wants to know..."

Qian Ruoyu knew that the prince could no longer sit still.

After all, these people have such a large number of bandit-suppression troops, and even if they have not yet been fully organized, they are still a force.

Chu Mobai would naturally feel curious about this, so Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"Of course, I have indeed been given command of the bandit suppression army, and I am currently considered a general of the bandit suppression army. What's wrong? Your Majesty? Are you so interested in this matter?"

After hearing these words, Si Yin's eyes widened instantly.

Because he never thought that this matter was actually true. Even before he got Qian Ruoyu's answer in person, he didn't dare to believe that it was true.

Qian Ruoyu said it very calmly.

"Is he waiting for me in the military camp now? Does he want me to go there in person?"

Si Yin shook his head.

"This, this is not necessary. It's just that the prince did not expect that you, the queen, could actually get the bandit-suppression army. The situation between us and His Majesty... is not very good. How did you get it?"

Qian Ruoyu saw that Chu Mobai was really getting restless about this matter!
