Better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times; this saying applies everywhere. When the news of conscription and grain requisition came out, Wozi Village was like an oil pot boiling over, exploding with cries.
There had already been one grain requisition recently, and now another - where is all this grain supposed to come from? Is the Nanyue Court trying to starve the people to death?
As if that weren't enough, now they want to conscript men - there's no way for people to live!
Cries erupted throughout Wozi Village.
The village was tucked away in a corner, not a place of great wealth, especially in this time of war. If a family could hold onto a couple of acres of poor land and stay whole, they could count their blessings.
