"But the National Treasury still has no Silver! Without Silver in hand, I am uneasy at heart!"
The words of Gu Chengyu, though they seemed to comfort the Emperor greatly, did not solve the problem, which had reached a point where it had to be addressed.
Gu Chengyu, upon hearing these words, immediately understood why the Emperor had called him today. It was to fill the National Treasury and to ask him for solutions.
"Gu Aiqing, someone has recommended you to Me, saying you are quite adept at generating Silver. Do you have any good strategies?"
The Emperor looked leisurely at Gu Chengyu, curious about what good solutions he might come up with.
After all, if only Xia Qing spoke of it, he might still be skeptical. But even the second master recommended him, so perhaps Gu Chengyu indeed had a plan.
Gu Chengyu was somewhat surprised and started to wonder relentlessly who could have recommended him to the Emperor?
