Hi everyone,
Can you help me to understand what the following sentence means? Especially the underlined part.
"It took Brunel and his supporters seven years to cajole the government into advancing a loan of £246,000 to allow work on this “project of national importance” to be completed."
Is it a formal way of asking for a loan?
Thank you.
