Jin Qianqian was glad to be spared from repeating herself. "I can handle the rest, but to deal with his escort agency, we'll have to rely on outside help."
Gu Wenheng set down his brush and picked up a damp cloth from the side to help Jin Qianqian wipe the ink stains off her hands.
"You don't need to worry about manpower. If you're willing to wait a bit longer, we might be able to recruit a batch of people after the start of spring."
Jin Qianqian looked at him in confusion. The orphans they had previously trained were already dispatched to various positions. Where would these new people come from?
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Next spring, some soldiers will be discharged from the military. I figure we can select some capable men from among them."
"But they'll probably prefer to return to their hometowns," Jin Qianqian said. "After all, they've been away from home for years, and their families are waiting for them."
