Mourn for three days and three nights, and add 300 copper coins to the treasury.

Carry a bucket of manure, and add 3 copper coins to the treasury.

Work as an undertaker and sew up a corpse, and add 500 copper coins to the treasury.

Set up a stall selling imperial examination questions, and add 300,000 taels of silver to the treasury.

Work as an escort, stumble upon the enemy army transporting provisions, and add 100,000 dan of grain to the treasury.

Zhu Biao: Father, please come back soon. I'll carry the manure.

Liu Bowen: Good grief, the emperor's gotten addicted to this work. We can't get him to come back!

Li Shanchang: Strange. Why does every side job the emperor takes on bring such enormous benefits to the Ming?

Tang He: Your Majesty, have you forgotten you're an emperor? It's been almost ten years. Please come back. We miss you...
