"As for King Qi wanting to come over, it's not that it can't be done, but after the food has been delivered and South State has stabilized, His Highness can come over later without delay."
Everyone was afraid that something would happen to King Qi, naturally not wanting him to take the risk at this time.
Several officials had just discussed the matter and sent the letter out.
Another official reported, "My lord, Lord Chu has sent someone to inform us that the yamen is short of hands and is asking the refugees to help sweep the streets, and inquires whether the lords allow this?"
"Step down for now, we will discuss it," said Governor Wang, dismissing his subordinate.
When only three people remained in the room, Governor Wang asked, "What do you think he really means?"
"He must be coming to us for manpower, asking for help."
"My lord, what should we do? Should we send some aid over?"
