"President Wan, I am willing to donate all of my assets except for the funds needed for my essential turnover to DaJin," Nan Feng said, knowing that it was essential to say such at this time.
"That's all well said now, but will you truly do so when the time comes?" President Wan asked.
"President Wan, when I was in Ping County, the Yamen once organized us merchants to donate to refugees; I donated all of my available funds at the time. Although I only had a hundred taels of silver in savings then, the Yamen of Ping County can attest to this fact," Nan Feng replied.
Only then did Nan Feng gain approval.
After questioning Nan Feng, President Wan soon asked a cloth merchant to vouch. The merchant also had to answer questions, just like Nan Feng did.
"If you were to donate, how much would you donate?" President Wan asked the merchant.
The merchant pondered for a moment, "At least a hundred taels, I suppose."
