In the Xu Mansion, the lights were bright, but the entire main hall held only a few people.
"Eunuch, everything in the mansion is well. These are the accounts."
"The thirteen estates in the Suburbs of Beijing remit 3,600 taels of silver monthly."
"There are thirty-five shops in the city, generating an income of over 27,000 taels of silver each month."
"Your Majesty and Consort Duann bestow various rewards each month, enough for the mansion's expenses."
"Additionally, Your Majesty showed mercy by sending a contract on Jingzhong's first birthday."
"A contract?"
Xu Mujun asked curiously, "What kind of contract?"
"A contract for ten percent dry shares of the First Steel Factory."
Zhong Chun hesitated, "The First Steel Factory was a factory established by Your Majesty five years ago, primarily for refining steel. Each year, the share alone brings over 300,000 taels of silver..."
Xu Mujun sighed deeply, "Your Majesty's great kindness, this general will never forget!"
