Cao Rui's face twitched. If you set up such a large-scale trade fair and let the court pay for it, I'm afraid the emperor will be distressed again.
"Sir Pei, the imperial court is currently at war with Northern Liang, and the daily expenses are very high. I heard that you are also going to build a road, so why don't you just collect tolls? I will report this to the emperor."
Pei Yun did not expect that Eunuch Cao was so avant-garde in his thinking. He was just about to talk about the travel expenses, but he did not expect the other party to bring it up on his own initiative.

Besides, Aina gave him her body, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Thinking that there were still 10,000 border troops in the border town, Pei Yun was afraid of a conflict between the two sides and hurried towards the border town.
