"Another grain levy?"
Wang Feng said with a bitter face, "Du Baozong, just a few months ago, you moved all the grain from our Mei County granary to Xinghua Prefecture. Where would we have any grain left now?"
"Enough chatter!"
Du Baozong said very impatiently, "Inspector Wang! The Sheng forces are at our gates. Without grain, how can we defend the city? If Xinghua Prefecture City falls, do you think these counties below us can hold? The Sheng people are cruel! Once they pour into the territory and slaughter everywhere, not sparing men, women, elderly, or children, what would this bit of grain matter by comparison?!"
"Ah~"
Wang Feng sighed deeply, unable to find a reason to refute, "Not long ago, we forcibly levied several hundred stones of grain from the people. It's in the county government granary, you go take it."
Du Baozong questioned, "Only several hundred stones?"
"That's already the people's rations!"
