Chapter 857_1

The Nangong Emperor was skeptical, and for good reason, as he had sent a eunuch to supervise the grain transport, who witnessed the entire process.

According to the eunuch's report, the Emperor concluded that they had been putting on a show! It was ridiculously fake!

At this time, grain was generally transported using mule carts or horse carriages. A mule cart can carry about two hundred catties of grain, while a horse carriage can carry even less.
