Must Lament They Were Poor, Really No More Money

  In the Great Hall of Golden Flight.

 As soon as the court session started, Su Yulun and Duke Jingguo stepped forward respectively to report to Xiao Jin about the disaster relief efforts and settlement progress in Kun City.

 It had been more than two months since this disaster occurred, and the people of Kun City had basically been settled down by the Imperial Court.

 However, the damage caused by the earthquake to Kun City was too great. The post-disaster reconstruction work would be an arduous and very expensive project. It was difficult to take out so much money from the national treasury to fund the project.

 Xiao Jin turned to look at the Minister of Revenue.

 The Minister of Revenue felt his skin go numb. He could only brace himself and step forward to say in a sorrowful voice, "Your Majesty, the national treasury has already expended a lot this year. The amount of funds that can be allocated to Kun City is really limited."
