Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

This is their chance.

Although it was not glorious, we were able to hold back this group of people without bloodshed and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive.

Now it seems to be the best result.

Thinking of this, the county lieutenant made a gesture to his relatives, and the soldiers understood and shouted towards the opposite side again.

"Our county lieutenant said that he is willing to report your intentions to the county magistrate, but it takes time to prepare food. During this period, you can't rob the villagers anymore."

"How long? How long will it take for you to deliver it? We can't just keep waiting like this with empty stomachs."

The county lieutenant said: "Tomorrow, once the county magistrate agrees, we will deliver the food tomorrow."

The personal guards shouted out according to the county lieutenant's words.

The other side refused, "Tomorrow is too late, and the brothers are hungry. Send the food to us before the sun sets today at the latest, and we will not rob anymore."

The county lieutenant nodded, and the guards shouted to show their agreement.

County lieutenant: "Tell them to stop harassing the villagers and retreat ten...one mile from where they are."

They definitely don't want to do that.

The personal guard shouted to convey the county lieutenant's words, and the other party was happy to agree on the spot.

The county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the victims retreating in an orderly manner.

Regardless, things are finally making progress.

His trip was worthwhile and he had an explanation to give when he returned.

Finally, after looking at the victims who had retreated further away, the county lieutenant arranged for half of the soldiers to stay behind to keep an eye on them, and he took the other half back to report the news.

County Office

After hearing the report from the county lieutenant, the county magistrate turned around several times and asked everyone present, "What do you think?"

The others looked at each other, and finally the county magistrate stood up and said, "Sir, the county has few soldiers and horses, and we can't resist these people. Besides, we have to consider the people outside the county."

"From what the victims said, they don't want to go against the imperial court. Why don't we gather food to keep them stable, and then send a letter to the imperial court as soon as possible and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements?"

Chief Clerk He Qishu also thought the same thing. "Once a conflict breaks out, both sides will suffer. Now that we can stabilize them with food, it is already a blessing in disguise."

The rest of the people nodded.

The county magistrate thought for a moment and said, "But this is not a long-term solution. There are tens of thousands of people over there. How many days can we afford to support them?"

The county lieutenant bowed and said, "Let's keep him for as long as we can. Let's delay it for now."

"The court still needs your help. The sooner we get news, the better."

The county magistrate also knew about this, and he had already sent someone to deliver a memorial.

Forget it, I'll write another letter when I get back. This is an extremely urgent matter, and the court must be made aware that they can't afford to delay.

Now that it’s settled, it’s about food.

The county magistrate looked at everyone and said, "The county is in danger now. We can only get through this together if we work together."

"This amount of grain is not something that one household can afford in the long term. The whole county needs to contribute together."

"As the county magistrate, I have no choice but to pay the 100 dan this time."

"Next, the county magistrate and the chief clerk..."

The county magistrate and Uncle He Qi stood up at the same time, "Sir!"

The county magistrate held the hands of the two men and patted them, with an expression that said, "I'm counting on you guys to help me." "Thank you for your hard work. Let's all work together."

The county magistrate and Uncle He looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

This is not an easy job!

All offended people.

But the county magistrate had already expressed his position in advance, and this was for the safety of the entire county, so they had no choice but to accept the order.

The county magistrate laughed with satisfaction, "Great! When this is over, I will personally commend all of you to the court for your contributions."

Now the dissatisfied county magistrate and Uncle He Qi also felt warmed up and bowed with everyone else.

Next, the county magistrate spoke to them about some other things, then waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only the county lieutenant.

The county magistrate said: "I will have someone load the food when I get back. You can send someone to escort it."

"Tell the disaster victims clearly that we were also hit by the disaster last year and we don't have that much food to feed them."

"Everyone tighten their belts and save money, and wait for disaster relief from the imperial court."

The county lieutenant clasped his hands together and saluted, "Yes!"

The county magistrate went back to make arrangements.

The county magistrate and Uncle He Qi came out, got on the county magistrate's carriage, and had another discussion in the car.

After they reached an agreement, the county magistrate personally sent Uncle He back home.

After Uncle He Qi got off the car, the county magistrate bowed and said, "This matter is of great importance, I hope you will pay more attention to it!"

They are now in the same boat, and they can't just target one person.

Both of them must work together to make this happen.

Uncle He returned the greeting with a bow, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best."

The county magistrate nodded, said his final farewell to Uncle He, and then the servant drove away.

After watching the county magistrate's car disappear, Uncle He did not go in, but directly asked his doorman to drive to the clan leader's house.

Then he told the clan leader about the incident and finally said, "Our He clan is a big clan, we will definitely not be able to escape this time."

"The county magistrate has been very tough this time and has taken the lead in donating a batch of grain."

"Next, we will definitely start with the rich families in the county to collect food. You must tell our He family members to donate when necessary and not be stingy."

"Otherwise, I will definitely become the chicken that is killed to scare the monkeys."

The clan leader looked solemn and frowned as he asked, "Then how much grain should we donate? Will we donate a second batch later?"

Uncle He sighed, looking helpless, "If it takes a long time, the second and third batches are possible."

"So arrange for the tribesmen to not hand in all of them at once. Just follow the crowd the first time and hand in a similar number."

"I hope the imperial court can reply as soon as possible, otherwise our small county can't afford to delay!"

The clan leader also sighed, "That's right, it's really a bad year!"

Uncle He Qi: "At least we can keep the people calm now and no one is taking action. This is already very good news."

The clan leader thought so too. If they didn't take action, the chaos would be limited and everyone would still have hope for the future.

"The county magistrate has also spent a lot of money this time, one hundred stones, ah!"

Uncle He Qi: "He is the county magistrate. What if he doesn't take the lead?"

The county magistrate, who had been bleeding from the discussion, was also heartbroken at this moment. Watching stone by stone of grain being transported out of the granary, his heart was bleeding.

It is really painful for children from poor families to see these things!

But there was nothing he could do. He still had his wits about him and could only watch as the officers and soldiers picked out the prepared food one stone at a time.

After the last soldier left, the county magistrate said to the county lieutenant, "Sorry to bother you again. We have already provided the food. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them cause trouble again."

County lieutenant: “Yes!”

Then he led his soldiers out in a mighty procession.

The victims naturally did not cause any more riots. When they saw the food and had food to eat, it was of course impossible for them to do anything unnecessary.

In fact, because the county lieutenant came back early and kept his promise, people's impression of him became a little better.
