Jiang Shaohua remains poised until action is required, and when it is, he strikes with overwhelming force.
The National Treasury unexpectedly gained two huge sums of money, sufficient to cover military expenses without waiting for the confiscated assets of several Prince Mansions.
Jiang Shaohua expressed satisfaction with the efficiency of the Ministry of Revenue, particularly praising Minister Ji during the grand court meeting held every fortnight.
Minister Ji humbly expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Shaohua inquired with a smile, "Minister Ji, when will this year's military budget be allocated to the Ministry of War?"
With unprecedented abundance in the National Treasury, Minister Ji was emboldened. He stood straight and replied, "In response to the Emperor, the Ministry of Revenue is calculating the military budget and various expenditures, and within six to seven days, this year's military budget can be allocated to the Ministry of War."
