Not only Zhao Hu, but many officials also felt stirred in their hearts.
Money, who doesn't want more?
This era isn't one where officials are ashamed to talk about money; they openly express their love for wealth and would discuss directly with their superiors if their salary feels insufficient.
For instance, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "Now that refugees are being gathered and the court is extensively redeeming people from bondage, our land enfeoffed for official duty has no farmers, and we officials are too busy to farm it ourselves, thus it lies uncultivated, and we must pay a lot of taxes annually."
