Hearing Yao Zhi's words, Xue Ya'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Young Master Lei, feel free to speak your mind."
"I heard that the General sent the soldiers to help with the disaster rescue. I wonder if the disaster relief grain has been distributed to the people."
"My husband had sent the memorial asking for disaster relief, but until today, we didn't receive any reply from the capital," Xue Ya'er sighed.
When she heard this, Yao Zhi had a guess in her heart, but she didn't voice it out. From her observation and Ling Shijiu's investigations, she discovered that the relationship between the Emperor and the dukes and marquises was not good.
Unlike the Shang Dynasty, this world adopted noble titles such as baron, count, marquis, and duke. But they were given a fief and had a position similar to the vassal princes.
Since the nobles had different surnames from the royal families, the relationship was delicate.
