The voice, the one who had asked and agreed with Yunyin's suggestion… was Minister Duan!
He nodded in response to the proposal and turned to the others, "One gold tael per citizen, at the average population of 1 million citizens per prefecture, the current affected population is 1 to 3 million people.
As a safety net, we should prepare 3 to 5 million gold taels. Such a huge sum of gold… even the wealthy Qingling Province can't hand it out, can it?"
Duan Qiwang asked the Grand Minister, his attitude not like that of other ministers.
Each province had their own Grand Minister, except for the imperial province. Considering this, the Grand Minister should know the situation of the province best, so he had to ask him.
Fa Shanyuan looked at Duan, his smile had already turned slightly sour, "The Qingling Province has invested into various… imperial projects lately. Such a huge budget could only be paid right after the autumn tax."
