If they were here for a fight, Bai Wutong would still think highly of them.
In the end, their goal was the wood.
Before Bai Wutong could speak, Sheng Huaixuan explained to her, "All the wood in the Hundred Spiritual Mountain is under the control of the government. Ordinary people are not allowed to cut wood on their own. Now, only refugees who need to explore the land can cut wood. As the government doesn't give us food and other things, they don't plan to make us transport these wood to the government after we cut them down."
If the government did this, they would completely lose the hearts of the refugees and cause the good reputation that Duke Chu had accumulated to plummet.
Even if the officials wanted to, they did not dare to do so.
Sheng Huaixuan glanced at the Wang brothers and smiled again. "Especially after Duke Chu's prohibited trade order, we might not be able to buy those wood even if we have the money. Even if we can buy them, the price won't be cheap."
