What Sun Licheng meant by this was that the number of conscripts recorded in the household registrations had been registered and occasionally, a disability or illness could exempt one from a term of military service, but it could not exceed the specified range.
Jiang Sanlang: "Understood, I'll inform everyone and whatever they do will be up to them."
If all else fails, pay to have someone serve as a substitute draftee.
After seeing off Lizheng, Jiang Sanlang gathered all the villagers and read out the list of conscripts.
After hearing the list, everyone remained silent.
Everyone was living well, without worries about food and drink, and suddenly there was conscription; was it even possible to live?
Jiang Sanlang said: "I don't care what methods you use, our village has to provide ten draftees anyway." Be it buying a substitute or finding someone to falsify a disability or illness, it was up to them to call the shots.
