Cao Huachun, manager of the Xi'an branch of the Great Ming Bank, sat opposite Lü Daqi, the Governor-General of Shaanxi and the Three Borders.

"I do," Lü Daqi replied, making no attempt to hide it. "Since the tax reform allows the common people to pay in copper coins, the key lies in disseminating this information widely to prevent anyone from using this as a pretext for corruption."
