County Magistrate Ma is indeed experienced; he came to the granary early in the morning to await the Commandery Princess's inspection.
After everyone exchanged greetings and pleasantries, they entered the granary.
Once inside the granary, it was Chief Clerk Wen's area of expertise.
Chief Clerk Wen leafed through the warehouse records, counting each item, then randomly selected a few bags of grain for further inspection.
He examined them closely, pinched and tasted them.
Jiang Shaohua watched with great interest: "How is the quality of these stored grains?"
Chief Clerk Wen smiled and praised, "These are all new grains, and their quality is excellent."
A hint of pride flashed across County Magistrate Ma's face.
Then they heard Chief Clerk Wen sigh, "The county government has Silver, so they can afford good grain. Bo Wang and Ye County are the same. Wan County and Xi'e County are a step behind, and Li County is even poorer, often unable to afford stored grain."
