"Old Ancestor, actually, the Kang Commandery Prince had no other choice. The lineage of Prince De Xin is numerous, but their finances are average, and it's impossible to endlessly supply him with money. Although our Zhao Clan also quietly provides three million Qian Gold annually to support the Kang Commandery Prince, to rapidly expand his influence, he needs money in too many places."
"Whether it's the 'Dawn' organization, or keeping various extraordinary personnel as guests, or drawing together various groups to boost his prestige, which of these doesn't involve massive expenditures? And this time going to the foreign battlefield to accomplish feats of valor, without a large amount of Qian Gold to pave the way, how could the soldiers be willing to fight to the death for him and quickly earn military exploits?"
"The subsidies provided by the lineage of De Xin and our Zhao Clan, though not small, are also not inexhaustible."
