There Are Benefits for You

Governor Li inquired, "Do you have any specific requests, Governor Su?"

Su Bin contemplated, wanting to express his needs but hesitating.

Certainly, he needed to make a request; after all, who would lend money without expecting something in return? Moreover, there was a 100% chance that repayment might not happen after the loan.

If he didn't offer any benefits but wanted to borrow money without any strings attached, did he think Governor Li was naive?

Su Bin was well aware that the new emperor harbored intentions towards his wife and sought revenge against him. Lord State Duke, on the other hand, opposed the new emperor's aggression because he understood the impact of the Su and Qin families' businesses on the national treasury's revenue. Lord State Duke considered the broader perspective and their mutual interests.
