After hearing people in the restaurant talking about this, I also became interested.
"Your Excellency, are you saying that Prince Ning wants compensation?"
"That's not quite right." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and sighed, "It's not called compensation, but it is. Five thousand kilograms of fairy tea and one hundred thousand dan of grain, all used to save the Xiliang dogs."
"I heard that immortal tea can prolong life and boost spirits. Chang'an City doesn't even produce 5,000 kilograms a year. And there are a full 100,000 dan of grain. How many people are needed to grow it? We ordinary people are starving to death, and yet we use our grain to help the Xiliang dogs. My father and brother both died at the hands of the Xiliang dogs. What about now?"
The middle-aged man became more and more annoyed as he spoke.
Soon, other people began to agree.
After all, this is Chang'an, not Jingyang.
They also have a short-sighted view of things.
Once provoked, they will lose their minds.
"Yes, my father also died in battle in Xiliang."
"There are three of us brothers, and our family is very poor. Because we had no food to eat, my eldest brother joined the army. As a result, the thieves from Xiliang chopped off his legs, and now he can only lie in bed. Not only did Dafeng not care about us, but they also gave food to Xiliang?"
"Didn't General Gu win the battle?"
“That’s right…”
"We have to pay compensation even though we win. How disgusting."
"Has the young Prince Ning forgotten the glory of the palace?"
"He probably just wants to fulfill the bet..." The middle-aged man sighed softly and smiled bitterly, "Young Prince Ning has lived a life of luxury since childhood and doesn't understand the value of grain. He doesn't mind losing some grain just to sign the alliance. It's just hard for us common people. We worked so hard to save food to pay the rent, but in the end, it benefited the Xiliang dogs!"
"Impossible, Little Prince Ning is not that kind of person!"
"What we say doesn't count, why don't we go and ask?"
"good!"
"Take me one!"
Lin Chao stood up angrily.
Damn Ning Que is a hypocrite!
On the surface, everything seems great and glorious.
In fact, it is despicable and shameless!
He was extremely angry when he thought about being stripped of his official title because of Ning Que.
Now that he has the chance, how could he not cause trouble for Ning Que?
