Bab 91: Before Entering the Mountain

"Chief?" Jiang Chuan called out uncertainly.

Since the establishment of the country and the implementation of the system of giving food to the higher-up, they had adhered to the attitude of eating and working together. No one took more and no one took less. Thus, the income of each family in the countryside was equal.

When the higher-ups heard the good news of so much grain, they would praise them.
