All magistrates request that the emperor abandon his inner depot, but the emperor keeps accompanying "frivolous officials" and even sets up an inner depot. The narrator tells us that this is because "his ambition and greed" are "getting out of hand" . He says that it's not clear whether the emperor will support the inner depot or not, but that he's sure that the livery stable will help the emperor in his fight against the eastern depot. He also says that if the outer court doesn't support him, then he'll have to rely on the emperor for support. Yuyong and wujie are the chief and deputy bosses of the Inner Depot, respectively. They're the ones who have visited the shipping agencies and the livery states to find out how much money they can make there. They can earn 5,000 taels a month, which is enough to support the soldiers for a month. They will then have enough money to buy gifts for the emperor from the rich families in the inner city. This is a great plan, and Yuyong says that once the emperor is involved, it'll be even better.
