Over the next few days, the atmosphere in Mountain Spring Town became even more tense.
As the government's troops enlistment exercise did not achieve the desired result, the government office issued a conscription notice and began to force the people to serve in the military.
As Song Que had no achievements, he was also conscripted.
Fortunately, the mandatory military service could be offset with money.
After paying 15 taels of silver, Song Que was let off the hook.
However, the Qin, Wang, and Liu families all had to fulfill the quota for military service.
In particular, the Qin family and the Liu family were each required to fill two spots.
Fortunately, these few families had been diligent. They had earned some money from selling the bean sprouts they took wholesale from Qin Xiaoyao.
In addition to the money they had saved up recently, they finally gathered enough money to exempt their family members from military service.
