"Chen Jiusi, that grain must have been transported by Yelu to Mianshui to make a huge profit. Moreover, the transportation and storage are so secretive, it's obvious they don't want anyone to know!"
"If we go, will he willingly give it to us?"
Zhao Ya asked, and Chen Jie laughed: "Commandery Princess, sometimes using your privileges isn't wrong, you can't always follow rules without exception."
"Didn't we just have a meeting a few days ago and agreed that those with great influence can bring grain into Mianshui? And now Yelu is doing this for the country, seeking to benefit others as well as himself..."
"But his actions..."
"Oh, Commandery Princess, right now, you are the highest authority in Mianshui County; if you say it's him, it is, and if not, it's still him."
Zhao Ya responded: "Is this really feasible?"
Even though Zhao Ya was a noble Commandery Princess, she was a political novice who liked to act by the rules and laws.
However, sometimes you can't be too legalistic.
