Grand Tutor Deng knew very well that he relied on this daughter to live comfortably, so naturally, he hurriedly raised money to send her to the palace.
With Deng Jieyu having ample silver, the Deng residence struggled, as the family was in urgent need of taels of silver.
Now, with the workshops boom in Great Chu, Grand Tutor Deng's family was also envious and opened several workshops, but with products yet to be made, the taels of silver had already been invested, and they hadn't broken even yet. They were short of money and needed to earn it back from other places.
The success of the imperial court's workshops instantly gave Grand Tutor Deng an idea.
"Minister Zhong, this is indeed my intention, after all, commoners are not tight-lipped. If by any chance they leak the secrets of the workshop, wouldn't that mean the business would be stolen, and the produced goods would have no buyers? Wouldn't that result in a huge loss? How do we make up for the loss of these taels of silver?"
