Cheng Zongyang sank into thought.
His original plan was to send people to scout the area. If there was a lot of grain, he planned to go and take it.
The grain he possessed was from before the village's harvest, and he couldn't possibly use it to supply the County Town. To survive the coming days, his only option was to find food elsewhere.
While Li Lu was out searching for Medicinal Materials, he was also scouting for food.
The villages and county towns had next to nothing, so the only place that might have a surplus was the County Mansion.
As for whether people in other places could survive as a result, that was not his concern.
If the people in the county couldn't survive, they would leave to find a way to live. They might head this way, or they might go to other county towns.
But from the looks of it now, the situation in the nearest county, Qingfeng County, might be even more desolate than in Jade Peak County.
