Zhao Ju watched as the grain sacks were moved into the warehouse. After verifying the numbers with the warehouse guards, he signed and sealed the paperwork before locking up the warehouse.
Seeing the warehouse full of grain, not only the citizens outside but also the members of the army felt uplifted. "Standard Bearer, the Lady is truly remarkable. She managed to acquire all this grain with just a few words."
Zhao Ju replied, "It's all bought with hard silver and gold. You think it came for free?"
"But that money belonged to those lords. Isn't that close to getting it for free?" The soldier grinned happily. "With grain in the warehouse, our hearts are at ease. Standard Bearer, our military camp should be completed in two more days, right?"
Zhao Ju asked, "Do the prisoners still listen?"
