Whether they wanted to or not, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue submitted their memorials the very next day.
Looking at the treasury silver that had shrunk by ten percent, Hua Shunming directly called out Zhou Shicong of the Ministry of Revenue. "Is this how you manage the treasury silver for me? It's only been a short while, and you've already depleted a whole portion of it."
Zhou Shicong replied, "Holy Emperor, the records and receipts for the past few months are attached at the back."
Regardless, he could pat his chest this time and say with a clear conscience that he hadn't touched a single cent of it, nor would he dare to.
Hua Shunming flipped through the pages. The records were indeed well-documented and justified. The tax silver from various regions had not yet been collected, which indeed drained some of his confidence.
"Holy Emperor," Le San said, hurrying over with a memorial in hand. "A top-priority urgent dispatch from General Zhou in Lu City."
