"Sir, is this really appropriate?" The person beside him hesitated. While it's true that Lin's family hasn't suffered from the disaster, using that as a reason to requisition their food seems somewhat indefensible, doesn't it?
"What's inappropriate about it? Since that Lin fellow arrived in Zhendong, he hasn't paid a single grain of tribute. Now in all of Longzhou, his lands are the only ones that haven't been afflicted. Requisitioning some grain from him, what's wrong with that?" Mr. Fang spoke dismissively.
Mr. Fang had been in Longzhou for some years, longer than Zixuan had been in Zhendong. He also had connections in the Imperial Court, and since the emperor hadn't issued any decree to punish him for this affair, he was feeling quite pleased with himself.
The man beside him said nothing more, and someone was ordered to go to Zhendong.
