Kapitel 485: Wei Wei Began To Bruise Their Ego

Helian Wei Wei was able to keep her equanimity while facing the accusation. She did not go on the rampage as Magistrate Liao expected but uttered in a leisure manner instead, "The officials are right, we might as well talk it over since the villagers have inquired." She glanced at the farmers and continued, "Folks, why are you so sure that you can make a pot of money by fixing the road?"

The farmers exchanged glances with each other, they could not help but look at the direction of Private Advisor Zhang again.

Helian Wei Wei said with a smile, "Why do you folks keep looking at Private Advisor Zhang? Does he have any good ideas? I have a question for him then. The second after-autumn drought will happen seven days later, there will be no grains to harvest in the fields once the drought is here. You can't sell any food if there's no harvest. How are you going to make a pot of money if there is no sale? What's the purpose of fixing the road then?"
