Qi Shan was here to find out what he planned to do with the three Imperial Plantations. He suspected that the Emperor was short of money and wanted Fan Zijin to cash out the three Imperial Plantations.
Everyone knew that the national treasury was short of money. Now that it was almost time for spring plowing for the new year, plenty of money was needed. Usually, other than giving it to the royal family, the Imperial Plantations would be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to manage. Fan Zijin suddenly taking away the title deeds made him suspicious.
If his guess was true, he felt that he had to stop this matter no matter what. The Imperial Plantations concerned the face of the royal family. How could the Emperor take these to convert into cash?
