"Good!"
He Hongzhi then turned to Wang the Consul, who looked solemn, and asked, "Wang the Consul, does the Holy Dynasty have a rule that any official who can strategize for the Holy Dynasty, thereby increasing the annual national treasury revenue tenfold, is considered to have achieved one supreme merit?"
