Overjoyed at receiving the silver, the vendor took on the posture of a storyteller and said in a soft and excited tone, "Governor Yu has been in Guangdong since he was a county magistrate, and has been here for almost 20 years. Even if his ancestral hometown isn't in Guangdong, he's still considered a local tyrant. On the other hand, the magistrate was appointed by the new dynasty and was new here. Although his official position is high, he has to listen to Governor Yu."
The vendor said, "The magistrate is a good official. After only arriving here for half a year, he found out that the fishermen who shifted away from the coast were having a hard time. Therefore, he discussed with Assistant Commander Wang to relax the maritime ban and let the fishermen catch seafood. This way, at the very least, they could catch some seafood in exchange for some grains. However, Governor Yu disagreed saying that he feared that the pirates would kill those fishermen.
