"Yes." The civil servant did not dare to say more and bowed and left.
Soon, the quartermaster entered the study and bowed respectfully, but his face was full of confusion. "Sir, why are you letting me take care of those refugees? Why not the city lord?"
"Domestic consumption is huge, and food is scarce." Takechiyo said coldly: "Do you understand what I mean?"
