Zhao Hanzhang said, "Starting from Yu State is because Yu State has been stable longer than the other provinces. The common people and the Soldiers trust the court more, and the entire Yu State is my inner circle. Once war breaks out again, with a single call of the arm we can summon enough Soldiers."
Qiao Jin's heart stirred, and he asked, "So you mean these demobilized Soldiers won't be sent back to their native places, but will stay where they are and become commoners?"
Zhao Hanzhang said, "If they wish to return home, we naturally cannot stop them. But given the current state of the realm, how many will really travel thousands of li back home?"
