When the people of Upper Corner Village heard this, their spirits lifted, and they asked, "Is there still grain for sale at the market? Is it expensive?"
"It's not expensive; it's the County Lord who set up the stalls, selling grain brought in from outside. It's slightly cheaper than what the grain shops sell, but it's only for those participating in the work-for-relief program, and each person can buy a maximum of five dou at a time."
Chen Fang said, "If you want to buy grain, you must get a wooden token from me first. You can only purchase grain with the token, and you'll need to return the token to me afterward."
The villagers of Upper Corner Village agreed happily and also asked about the market's location. Upon learning it was in another large village not too far away, they felt relieved.
This was a benefit Zhao Hanzhang specifically set aside for the workers.
