"Before starting this council, I would like to thank all the officials for attending this council.
Our Ministry of Revenue's annual council happens in the middle of the year, so this urgent council must've led to many disruptions in your plans.
I apologize for this matter!" the Grand Minister of Revenue, Fa Shanyuan, cupped his hands to all officials.
"We are honoured to attend the Ministry of Revenue's council!" the ministers led the officials to also cup their hands, not rejecting the apology as it was truly a disruption of plans, at least leading to a delay of a week for each of them.
"Then, we shall start the council! Minister Duan, why don't you tell us the matters we will discuss today?" Shanyuan sat down on his grand seat, looking at the General Minister of Revenue, Duan Qiwang.
