"Shouzhe, where on earth did you get fifty to sixty thousand dan of grain from?" Gongsun Qiang gasped, speaking in an almost disbelieving tone.

The Gongsun Clan of Shanyang is considered powerful, possessing tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. However, even so, the production of grain for a season does not reach fifty to sixty thousand dan! Moreover, the grain produced by a prominent family's fertile lands must be shared with tenant farmers and annual taxes must be paid per acre. Additionally, there are also reserves for grain seeds and consumptions like insecticide powder.

From this, you can see what an astronomical figure fifty to sixty thousand dan of grain is. Even under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to gather that much grain all at once, let alone under the current situation.
