General Song's disappointment was not on Jiang Shaohua's mind.
To her, the entire court's civil and military officials were her subjects. She knew who was loyal and useful, who was dissatisfied with ulterior motives, and who was undecided. When she needed to appoint someone, she naturally chose trustworthy and capable officials.
General Song was arrogant and self-righteous, leading troops to support the border army, only to be defeated by the Rouran forces. His ability in battle was mediocre at best.
General Liu was low-key and cautious in his duties. With the favor of Liu Hengchang, she naturally chose General Liu.
Having decided on the personnel for disaster relief, the next step was determining the amount of money and food for the relief efforts.
Jiang Shaohua asked Minister Ji, "How much silver can the National Treasury currently spare? How much food can it buy?"
