"Of course I'm willing!"
Zhao Yun answered decisively. She couldn't help but get excited.
He did not expect Gu Yuan to give him such an important task the moment they met!
One had to know that he had never practiced his training methods.
No one knew if it would succeed or not.
However, Gu Yuan trusted him unconditionally and supported him.
What kind of trust was this?
This was really the kind of peerless wise master that could not be found even with a lantern!
How many good deeds did he, Zhao Yun, do in his previous life to be able to meet an emperor like Gu Yuan in this life?
"Very good."
Gu Yuan nodded.
He then turned to Cao Zhengchun and instructed.
"Cao Zhengchun, you and Zilong will handle this matter.”
"Training soldiers is worth ten thousand taels of gold. The most important thing is money!”
"The palace treasury is open to Zilong. Whatever he needs, you have to do your best to satisfy him, understand?”
However, Cao Zhengchun, who had never objected to Gu Yuan's orders, did not agree immediately this time.
Instead, he gritted his teeth slightly, as if he was in a difficult position.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yuan glanced at him.
Cao Zhengchun sighed and said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, you might not know this, but the silver in the palace treasury is almost exhausted.”
"What is it? So fast?"
Gu Yuan frowned.
Because he was the puppet emperor, he could not use the dynasty's treasury as he pleased.
And even if he could use it, he wouldn't dare to use it.
Because everything he did had to be hidden from the eyes and ears of others.
This way, the only funds he could use were the palace treasury.
This was the private treasury of the emperor.
When he had just transmigrated, Gu Yuan had learned about the situation in the palace treasury.
The initial capital, without the blessing of any national fate, was about 100,000 taels of silver, which was quite considerable.
However, he really did not expect it.
It had been less than six days since the start of the game, and the 100,000 taels of silver were almost spent?
So much money, did he burn it all?
Cao Zhengchun lowered his head and replied.
"Your Majesty, the intelligence network of the East Chamber and the infiltration of various places require a huge amount of financial support.”
"Most of the funds have been spent on the expansion of the East Hall.”
"Right now, the palace treasury only has 20,000 taels of silver left. If there is no income, it won't last for a few days.”
Gu Yuan felt a little toothache.
He couldn't blame Cao Zhengchun for this.
No matter how powerful Cao Zhengchun was, he could not conjure money out of thin air.
The efficient operation of the east factory was also based on the premise of spending money like water.
The current situation was that the East Chamber needed money, the training of soldiers needed money, and the construction of buildings in the future also needed money!
And he wanted more!
All of them were gold-devouring beasts with their mouths wide open!
This also reminded Gu Yuan of a problem.
He had to think of a way to make money!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuan waved his hand and said in a low voice.
"How about this? The East Military Hall has been a little frugal recently.”
"Take out half of the remaining twenty thousand taels of silver from the palace treasury and give it to Zilong. Let Zilong set up the White Horse Righteous Servant first.”
"Regarding the matter of money, I will think of a way later!”
Cao Zhengchun nodded respectfully.
"This servant obeys!"
Zhao Yun, who was at the side, was even more moved.
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Gu Yuan's predicament.
The current Gu Yuan was not the kind of prosperous emperor who had a strong family background and would not feel any heartache if he was destroyed.
Instead, he was a puppet emperor who was cautious and treading on thin ice, seeking for a chance of survival in the cracks.
With this little bit of wealth, he had no chance of failure.
There were some choices that he could only make once.
And he chose to believe in Zhao Yun, in the White Horse Servant that he could train.
The meaning was different!
This sovereign's trust was simply heavier than Mount Tai!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best and not disappoint Your Majesty!”
Zhao Yun also expressed her stance.
"Go!"
Gu Yuan waved his hand, indicating for the two of them to leave.
Frowning, he wandered from the main hall to the back hall with a heavy heart.
Money, money!
A single coin could not defeat a hero!
At this moment, Diao Chan and Wei Zifu had also woken up.
The two women were both quick-witted people. They could tell at a glance that Gu Yuan was troubled.
Immediately, the two girls hurriedly came forward.
Diao Chan said in a delicate voice.
"What is Your Majesty worried about? Could it be that you dislike this servant for not serving you well before?”
Wei Zifu glared at Diao Chan.
Then, he said, not willing to be outdone.
"If Your Majesty is dissatisfied, you can say it. ChenQie will wholeheartedly improve it.”
The two girls were at loggerheads again, full of gunpowder.
Gu Yuan waved his hand.
The two women were people he trusted extremely. Gu Yuan did not need to hide anything from them as he spoke softly.
"It has nothing to do with you. Zhen is worried about money.”
"If you don't take charge, you don't know how expensive rice is. Sitting on this position of the Nine and Five, you have to think more about the people under you.”
"I really spend money like water. I'm so poor that I don't even have pants!”
Wei Zifu gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Your Majesty, ChenQie still has some jewelry that Empress Dowager has given her. You can take it and exchange it for silver to give to Your Majesty!”
Gu Yuan was a little touched.
Wei Zifu was still virtuous after all!
No matter what, she was willing to do everything she could to help her husband tide over his difficulties.
However, even if he sold all of Wei Zifu's possessions, he wouldn't be able to get much silver.
Compared to the financial hole that Gu Yuan was facing, it was completely useless.
He still needed to find a more stable and larger source of income!
Gu Yuan decided on the main route of today's simulation in his heart.
First, he would conduct the imperial examination to verify Gu Yuan's previous conjecture.
Whether or not he could take advantage of the special effect of the world's return to the country.
Secondly, he had to do his best to find some more feasible ways to earn money!
