The Emperor grunted, "We are still short of silver coins. If there were enough silver coins to continue planning, the lives of the city's residents could be much easier."
Zhou Shuren fell silent, not wanting to discuss silver coins. He had just obtained some silver and everyone was watching. If he hadn't written a proposal about the potential issues at the start of the year and submitted it, they wouldn't even have this silver.
The Emperor, not hearing a response, couldn't help but laugh, "Shuren, I'm just mentioning it casually. I'm getting old, the Crown Prince is doing well now. Let him worry about these matters in the future."
Zhou Shuren forced a laugh, "The Ministry of Revenue truly has no silver."
The Emperor said somberly, "Still poor, huh? Ten years of war, no, we must also include the incompetence at the end of the previous dynasty. The people have suffered so much, and it's hard to recover quickly after so many years."
