The new emperor sent Qi Yunxiao to negotiate the supply of grain from the Xia Kingdom.
Silks, satins, jewels, and jade may be unnecessary, but food is indispensable.
This year, the Great Qi suffered a disaster, and many people are having a hard time. In order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court has set up soup kitchens and spent a lot of grain. Now the reserves are running low.
