Zhao Erhu handed the silver note to Lin Yue and kept two million taels for himself, not because he didn't trust Lin Yue, but because business dealings usually require spending some silver coin, and purchasing goods also needed money. He couldn't always ask for money from his wife's hand whenever he needed to buy something.
"Wife, I'll leave all the household finances to you, and I'll just keep these two hundred thousand taels," Zhao Erhu said, wary that his young wife might overthink it, he even made a point to explain what he would use the silver for, "This year's journey overseas went quite smoothly, and I'm definitely going back next year. I will use it to buy goods on regular days."
