After the Empress approved the Cavalry Three-piece Set, the officials began discussing the budget for its widespread adoption. The Minister of Works furrowed his brow and said with a troubled expression: "Your Majesty, if the Cavalry Three-piece Set is to be equipped on a large scale, the cost will not be a small sum. Material procurement and artisan manufacturing alone require a vast amount of silver. With the imperial treasury currently far from full, I am afraid this budget will be difficult to secure."
The Empress frowned slightly and looked at Captain Li: "Captain Li, what are your thoughts on this?"
Captain Li pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this subject does have an idea. Previously in the Capital City, this subject had some conflicts with that Zhao Fugui. Zhao Fugui's family are wealthy merchants in the Capital City with immense financial resources. We might as well use the name of the imperial court to have him sponsor a portion of the equipment costs."
