"Making liquor requires grain, and although the Northern Land can grow grain, there is a lack of manpower to do so," Si Jinhan began in a tone that seemed to pour a basin of cold water on her aspirations. "Miss, it's best not to be overly imaginative."
Luo Heng and Situ Gong exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this.
What Si Jinhan voiced was also their concern.
Grain is the lifeblood of a nation, and if too much of it is used for brewing liquor, the pressure on the Northern Land would be immense. After all, even though the Northern Land is able to produce crops like wheat and rice, it can only do so once a year, which can't compare to the bi-annual or even tri-annual harvests in the south. The yield difference is far from negligible.
