Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Liu Zhong thought Lu Chen was still not planning to agree and continued, "Prince, before I left Qi Country, our king had discussed with the grain merchants of Qi Country. If North Country is willing to accept those refugees, North Country can purchase grain from Qi Country at the prices before the outbreak of the war between Great Sum and Great Wu, and Qi Country promises not to increase the prices within a year."
Lu Chen thought to himself that it seemed the refugees had seriously affected the local landlords and aristocratic families in Qi Country. Otherwise, they would not have agreed to this condition.
Seeing Lu Chen still silent, Liu Zhong frowned, wondering if the North Prince was still unwilling to agree. Was he being too greedy?
It was evident that North Country now needed people, and Qi Country was both offering people and grain, having lowered their stance so much. If North Country still refused, that would be truly ungrateful.
