Deep in thought for a moment, Hou Shikai said, "If Your Highness thinks this is acceptable, this humble subordinate can purchase some live sheep, along with grain and other supplies, and send them to the army as a token of appreciation for the troops..."
Hou Shikai was still very keen to stay on good terms with Yun Zheng. He knew full well that he couldn't have earned this much silver without Yun Zheng's backing. Now that he was making money, he felt he simply had to show his gratitude to Yun Zheng. But handing over tens of thousands of taels of silver directly to Yun Zheng felt petty to him, while giving any more would make his heart ache. It was far better to spend the silver on supplies to reward the soldiers. Still, he wouldn't dare undertake such a task without authorization; he certainly needed Yun Zheng's approval first.
"Very well!"
