"No, you have to give us an explanation, otherwise what if we come back in a few days and you say there's no food?"
Within the crowd, several guards kept shifting positions, fanning the flames.
Chen Da stood to one side, silently memorizing their faces.
Li Chang'an looked troubled, but finally gritted his teeth and roared, "If you want an explanation, I will give you one."
"Bring out all the grain from the military camp, as well as the reserve grain from the Marquis's residence for the next few days."
Upon hearing this, the pangolin immediately cried out, "My lord, this won't do! You've already sold at a loss. If you take out all the grain now, what will the ladies and young ladies eat? What will the brothers under your command eat?"
Zhao Hu's eyes widened in anger as he roared, "My lord, it doesn't matter if we have nothing to eat, but you must save some grain to feed your family!"
Li Chang'an kicked the pangolin over and pointed at Zhao Hu, saying, "The people have nothing to eat, so how can they care about their families?"
"The people of the world are my family. Even if I starve to death, I will make sure my family is well-fed."
"Chen Da, listen to my order, take out the grain from the Marquis's mansion and the military camp and sell it. Even if I lose everything, I will make sure my family has enough to eat."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang's eyes instantly turned red, feeling that the Marquis before him was truly an unparalleled philanthropist.
Huang Huifeng was moved to tears, muttering to himself, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. I, Huang, am willing to call you a great hero."
Countless people knelt down, shouting "Long live the Marquis!"
Chen Da crossed his arms and turned to leave with a stunned Zhao Hu.
"I feel that it is wrong for us to deceive the people like this."
Walking to the warehouse, Zhao Hu remained silent for a long time before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Chen Da burst into laughter: "Old Zhao, you're still too young. Do you know why these people dare to shout at the Marquis, but don't dare to cause trouble at the rice shop?"
"Why?"
"Because the Marquis is a good man."
"The Marquis will not have his men drive them away, nor will he have his men beat them out with sticks."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu's face darkened: "What kind of bullshit logic is this? Why should good people be the ones to be scolded?"
"That's just how the world is. Good people deserve to be bullied, so don't feel like you're deceiving them."
"Look, aren't they thanking the Marquis now?"
Chen Da looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
"It's precisely because good people deserve to be bullied that the Marquis needs me."
