Lu Daqi's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
This Cao Huachun was indeed cunning. He actually used this method to force him to give money.
He had no choice but to ask someone to take out 4,500 silver coins and give them to the other party.
After confirming the amount was correct, Cao Huachun leaned over to Lu Daqi and whispered, "Don't worry, His Majesty already knows about this and is preparing for it."
"Huh?" Lu Daqi's heart was shocked.
The news he had just found out last night had actually already reached Beijing.
This shows how strong the Jinyiwei's ability to gather information is and how fast they are in transmitting information.
"Lord Cao, could you please tell me the court's response strategy?" asked Lu Daqi.
"No, it's not the court's response strategy, it's your Majesty's strategy!" Cao Huachun corrected.
"Is there...any difference?" Lu Daqi narrowed his eyes.

Lu Daqi's eyes flickered. "Master Cao means that... there are bad people in the court who are obstructing the currency reform and don't want it to succeed?"
"That's about right. This matter affects the interests of too many people. It's normal for some people to oppose it!"
With a bang!
Lu Daqi slammed his right hand on the table: "Currency reform is a national policy. How can an official of the Ming Dynasty do this? It's really hateful!"
He was angry for two reasons.
First, officials should not oppose national policies, and second, they should not oppose national policies when they are being implemented.
He has been tied to the currency reform.
The currency reform was successful, and Lu Daqi made a great contribution, so he was promoted and had his salary increased.
If the currency reform fails, he will be the sinner of the court.
The punishment could be dismissal from office at the very least, or imprisonment at the worst.
After venting his emotions, Lu Daqi looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Lord Cao, I am the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi, and I am the person who is most reluctant to see a civil uprising in Shaanxi. Can you tell me your majesty's response strategy so that I can prepare in advance!"
