Ancient Wen Heng put down his brush, picked up a damp cloth from the side, and helped Jin Qianqian wipe the ink from her hands.
"Don't worry about manpower. If you're willing to wait, we might be able to recruit a new batch of people next spring."
Jin Qianqian looked at him, confused. The orphans they had trained before were now all assigned to various posts. 'Where would they find more people?'
Ancient Wen Heng smiled and said, "Next spring, a number of soldiers will be discharged. I imagine we'll be able to select some capable people from among them."
"But they'll probably prefer to return to their hometowns," Jin Qianqian replied. "After all, they've been away for years, and their families are waiting."
