"I understand," Nan Chunxian continued, "The imperial court should send troops to suppress this."
Nan Zhi nodded, "That's right, what you said before makes sense. But when people are starving, they will exchange their own children to eat, and they will even eat the soil under their feet. If they gather together and unite as one, even the government troops may not be able to take them down."
