Just as the Civil and Military Officials were in high spirits, the young Emperor asked.
"Honorable ministers, currently the National Treasury is under stress, do any of you have good ideas to increase revenue? Feel free to express them, great rewards await."
If the young Emperor simply wanted more Silver from the treasury, he only needed to cooperate a bit with Lin Yi, and he could then easily empty the private treasuries of these influential officials.
However, this method could not be used permanently. The stability and expansion of the empire still depended on the support of these officials.
Now, when it was truly time for the officials to make suggestions, everyone fell silent and turned their eyes towards Lin Yi.
After all, Lin Yi's business acumen was recognized by all, and there were few officials in the court who could leave Lin Yi's stores empty-handed.
Even if they managed to do so, their wives and concubines couldn't escape.
