The following five or six days passed peacefully.
For the grain transportation line, Gongsun Qiang and Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai were the first to complete their tasks. As a reward, Wang Shouzhe promised Gongsun Qiang that the final wave of old grains could be transported back to the Gongsun Clan. Of course, that would cost money and it would be sold to the Gongsun Clan at the market price.
As a result, this "cheap uncle" turned out to be a "hard man". He squeezed three thousand sacks back home with overloaded carts and miners carrying them on their shoulders. The next day, he hastily sent over two hundred Qian Gold for the grain purchase payment, looking as if he feared Wang Shouzhe would renege on his promise.
It's no wonder he is so eager. The famine in the whole Changning defence area is getting worse. The prominent familys of Profound Martial, who can afford to hire an Insect Master or spend a lot of money to buy a massive insecticide, can still hold on.
