Oh nice this is kinda what I was hoping would happen even up to when I was reading the chapter

[x] 50 Green Stones per year

I was very tempted to put 75 spirit stones just to be funny

This donation/investment isn't about Baroness Ling now, but Viscount and Count Ling being able to have second choice, after Heiress Cai, at the cream of the crop. Also if they have early development learning, we do have children that could use such materials within our household.

Also if they already have multiple schools, donating now would help step into adding a Branch of the Autumn Leaves to our fief. An Alpine Maple Academy perhaps?

I will probably vote for both the spending options, I feel some money and prestige now will really add up down the line.

Putting money in this kind of thing seems like the kind of thing LQ would do, but her funds are far from limitless and we do need to spend it on other things too, so that's my vote.
 
Other potential scenarios we might run into leading up to the wedding include:

Cultivator heavy in debt who agrees to serve us if we pay their way.
Wandering music master offering some extra special secret art for a fee.
A potential new spirit companion with a mercantile streak.
Encountering an expert in making musical instruments and having the option to pay extra to make a new flute that is even more powerful
Opportunity to invest in some new structure to be set up in our settlement
Coming across a snake oil salesman offering us some miracle mega drug that will totally turn us into whites in a single year.

Good to keep in mind that there are a number of potential investments we might run into over the course of things.
 
It might be dramatic, but I think we should either be among the leading investors to get substantial reputational/soft power benefits or not even bother investing.

Since it's unlikely "Do not" option wins,
[X] 100 Green Stones per year
 
I wish we knew if/what other future investment options there will be. In any case, I think 50 is a good compromise. We already have a potential future clan member who may go down the bureaucrat path after all...

The last of the candidate families was a girl and her mother, the Dong family. The older woman was more lively than the mother of the last group, less anxiety and nerves in her eyes. Her gaze flicked over the tables heavy with dishes food and drink with interest.
She exchanged greeting with them, just as she had the others no more and no less.

The girl, Dong Chyou had a bigger frame, wide shouldered for a girl, she looked like she'd outgrow her mother in only a few years. Her dark hair was cropped short around her ears.

"I don't know. I am sorry Lady Ling, but I am good with my characters," her answer to the question posed had only a little tremble. The girl seemed more mature than Zhang Su to her despite being a year younger. Metal, oiled steel, that was the clearest thing emerging from her young aura to Ling Qi.

"You would be surprised how much of my time is spent at the writing desk," Ling Qi said kindly. "So study well. And if you find your interest, you can bring it to me. Of course, study itself is valuable too. Dong Chyou, please continue your exercises as well, and when the time comes, I will ask you again."

The Ling clan will need more than just artists to thrive in the long term. Good to get in on the ground floor with this, I think.
