Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Han in surprise. Even Cao Cao thought that Wang Han was saying this on purpose because he wanted to get involved.
Xi Zhicai quickly said, "My lord, we do not currently have enough money and grain to build schools and supply all the students aged six to twelve in Bingzhou, nor do we have enough livestock and poultry to supply meat."
