Chapter 70: Changes after the New Year



Fortunately, the two of them entered the city at the end of Wei time (3 pm).

Grain seeds in the prefectural capital are also extremely expensive, 1 tael of silver per dou! But it is already much less than in the county town.

Jiangshan gritted his teeth and bought three buckets.
