However, they did collect a lot of dried vegetables. They collected one sack from one of the families and two from the rest collectively.

Finally, they took out 100 pounds of dried white potatoes from their inters.p.a.ce, totaling 200 pounds of white potatoes.

The following day, the couple had just finished breakfast when they heard a commotion at the foot of the mountains; they quickly ran out.

They saw Tian Jiaw.a.n.g carrying a hoe and walking back from the field. Gu Chengrui asked, Brother Tian, whats going on at the foot of the mountains?

Didnt the manor capture a group of people yesterday? They were clamoring to let them go. Todays matter differs from yesterdays, so its better if we dont go over. Lets just let the soldiers handle it, Tian Jiaw.a.n.g said.

I see; sorry for bothering you. Gu Chengrui nodded in understanding.

In such a disastrous year, even a landlord would not have any surplus grain; Sun Hongliang could not possibly keep them in the manor for nothing.

Therefore, it was most likely Bai Jingpings idea, and it was better for them not to get involved.

However, since it involved the manor, they did not return home. Instead, they waited to watch the show from a distance.

Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, they suddenly heard the sound of people marching. They quickly turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

Soon after, a group of soldiers in military uniforms carrying bundles on their backs marched toward the village at a moderate pace.

And looking at the group, there were quite a few of them.

Is the one riding the horse Manager Liu? Zhou Ying asked.

Yeah, he most likely brought a tear or knockout bomb to the military camp for the Third Prince. Its nice hes back with these soldiers, as those refugees wont be able to cause any trouble now.

Thats great. Otherwise, its not nice living in constant worry every day.

Although Bai Jingping and the others did not hear the soldiers coming, they were delighted when they saw them.

On the other hand, the faces of the refugees turned ugly, but they didnt dare to make a scene in front of so many soldiers.

However, when he thought of military provisions, Bai Jingpings expression immediately changed as he quickly ran to the village entrance to welcome them. When he saw Manager Liu getting off his horse, he asked, Brother Liu, these soldiers are

Lord Bai, they were sent by the Third Prince to a.s.sist Lord Kong in recruiting soldiers. At the same time, they are to protect the white potatoes. Manager Liu pointed to a young man on a horse and said, This is a rank-5 minor general, Zhang Ping.

Greetings, General Zhang. I am Bai Jingping, the county magistrate of Yunhe County. Bai Jingping hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself.

Ive long heard of you. Lord Bai is a famous scholar, and you do things swiftly and decisively. Ive long admired you.

Youre too polite. Where do you plan to settle down?

I heard there is a forest between Xiahe village and Shanghe village, so we plan to set up camp there.

I will call people over to help.

No need; well do it ourselves. Zhang Ping shook his head, then pointed at the refugees and asked, Those people are refugees? Why are they making trouble?

Bai Jingping sighed and told him everything that had happened in the past two days. Well, theyre afraid those captured refugees will be executed, so theyre making a fuss about releasing them.

Why should you let them go? Arent we recruiting soldiers here? We should just use them to fill the army. With fewer refugees, there will be less instability. Zhang Ping stated.

But its not that appropriate. Bai Jingping replied hesitantly.

He and Lord Kong had the same idea before, but they were afraid of arousing the publics anger, so they had not decided.

Manager Liu thought of the Third Princes words and replied tactfully, We can try. They wont have anything to eat here anyway; they will have food being in the army.

So lets try?

Lets try. The sooner we recruit enough people, the sooner you can be at ease.

Alright, you guys settle down first. Well discuss this later. After Bai Jingping finished speaking, he immediately stepped aside, afraid they would mention the matter of army provisions..
