The Young Master Dou's face improved considerably upon hearing she would add more silver later.
However...
"Great Chu is so vast, relying on just our little silver won't work even if we add more later. At most, it can only stabilize Anfu River."
But Great Chu has over a hundred prefectures, and having only Anfu River stable wouldn't be enough.
"No, as long as we stabilize Anfu River, Great Chu can be stabilized." Gu Jinli looked at Young Master Dou and said, "What we're doing is a beacon of hope. Great Chu has so many talented individuals; as long as they see this beacon of hope and understand that such deeds are feasible, those from wealthy and powerful families will follow suit to ensure the stability of their prefectures. Once enough people follow, farmers across Great Chu will be able to borrow silver to pay taxes, and this calamity will pass."
Ouyang Ming chimed in, "The so-called spark can ignite a prairie fire; it's just like that. We're just a spark."
