The voices of the civil servants were drowned out, and no one listened to what they had to say.
At this moment, a minister from the Ministry of Revenue spoke up, "This year's spring drought has affected the seedlings, resulting in a harvest significantly less than in previous years. The Regent King has embezzled quite a bit of silver, leaving the people destitute. The national treasury doesn't have much silver left to support a large-scale war."
Upon hearing there was no money, the military officers, eager to start a war, finally fell silent.
Just then, someone proposed, "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to speak it out."
Ling Yuezi said, "In court discussions, one should feel free to speak. Please go ahead, Mr. Wu."
This was an official from the Ministry of Rites.
