"Hmm, not bad! That's roughly it!!"
Zhao Zhong nodded with a smile, which was considered as agreement with Zhou Yi's statement.
Zhao Zhong then said, "So His Majesty sent me here to discuss with you all how to connect these things and get the wheels turning!"
Xi Zhicai nodded. "That's simple! Just make sure people benefit! Only when they benefit will they spend money to gain even greater benefits, and so on, and the cycle will naturally begin!"

"Hmph~ The entire world belongs to His Majesty, so it's only natural that the Imperial Household Department should step forward!"
Lu Qiang snorted coldly and brought up Liu Hong.
"You, you, you...you're being unreasonable...Hmph!"
