It was enough time for him to tie up some loose ends.
With this in mind, Chen Yi asked, "Did you give Boss Jia's silver to Guard Liu?"
Wang Ji nodded. "I delivered it as soon as I got it this morning. I also led them to the other storehouse."
"It's just that..."
He hesitated. "It seems things aren't going so well for Guard Liu. He went to several manors outside the city but couldn't procure any grain."
Chen Yi frowned slightly, but his expression quickly smoothed over. "It seems these Noble families of Shu State are quite selfish."
There were only two reasons not to sell grain at a time like this.
One, their families were too large, and they didn't have enough surplus grain.
Two, they thought the selling price was too low and wanted to wait for it to rise further.
Obviously, the latter was more likely.
"Let them be."
"Next, I need you to do one more thing for me..."
