Chapter 447 Complaint
Looking down at his snow-white fingers, he felt vaguely that his hands were stained with blood, the blood oozing from the wound on the craftsman's chest.
“Sister, that person is actually very honest.
He said his only child was kidnapped, and he had no other choice but to steal the recipe. But I didn't forgive him, and I didn't give him the recipe, so he died.
Perhaps his child is also dead."
Jiang Han smiled bitterly and looked up at his sister with eyes full of confusion.
"Sister, does this mean that even though I didn't kill Boren, he died because of me?"
“Of course not!
This is not called being a coward, this is called being kind by nature.
I have always known that my sister is the kindest and best child in the world."
Jiang Wan gently wiped Jiang Han's tears and taught her very patiently, just like her mother had patiently taught her when she was a child.
"I just told you that people in this world make different choices depending on their position.
Everyone has his own responsibilities to bear. The craftsman carries his children, but you carry the future of Dayu.
"Jiang Han, don't think I'm exaggerating. Your extraordinary talent in studying things is unmatched in this world!"
This is absolutely true. After all, the male protagonist has been buried, the male supporting role has been killed, and even the villain has been offline for many years. Now the plot of the entire abusive novel has been shattered, leaving only the halo of the female protagonist to shine alone.
How crazy must this person be to be willing to crush the heroine's halo?
He took his sister's hand and squeezed it gently twice.
“I don’t remember where I read these two sentences, but I think they are very true.
It is difficult to show the compassion of a bodhisattva without taking drastic measures.
So you see, the line between good and evil is sometimes not so clear.
You blame yourself now because your unwillingness to forgive killed the craftsman and even his child. But think about it the other way around: what would have happened if he had stolen the glass recipe?
Jiang Han listened quietly to his sister's advice.
"No one knows better than you and me how lucrative this glass business is.
But this benefit is not monopolized by my two sisters for our own selfish desires. It needs to go where it belongs.
Years ago, the Ministry of Works submitted a memorial saying that the river embankment needed repairs, but the court was short of money! It's perfect timing that your glass was developed, allowing the Ministry of Revenue to conduct business with foreign countries.
Without the glass, there would be no business, and naturally no money to repair the river. What if the river dam was washed away during the heavy rains in summer?
Think about it, what will be the consequences?"
Jiang Han's eyes became more and more dazed as his sister spoke, and he seemed to vaguely see that tragic scene in the world.
She muttered to herself.
"The land is filled with grief and the people are living in dire straits..."
"right!"
Jiang Wan asked her in a clear but firm voice.
“So ask yourself, is your kindness about saving one person or saving the world?
Should we save the poor people who are hateful, or save the poor people who are innocent?
Jiang Han, do you understand?"
…
…
…
"Think clearly!"
The second daughter of the Jiang family proudly pulled up her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and her red eyes showed the same resolute look as her sister.
“I’m not wrong!
The ones who are wrong are those who are behind the scenes. They shouldn't have stolen my recipe and shouldn't have touched the people of Dayu!
I am not wrong! "
"Yes, this is my Jiang Wan's sister!"
He raised his hand and flicked her forehead. In the original book, the heroine was plotted against, loved-brained, and had her family destroyed. She had a brief awakening and wanted to die together with the hero and the supporting actor, but in the end she was shot through the heart and died.
She has always been a kind child. Maybe she is not smart or cunning enough, but she is really not a bad child.
In her previous life, she didn't actually have the right to choose. But in this life, her sister gave her the freedom to choose. So you see, the little white flower also bloomed with dazzling brilliance.
"Sister, do you think our Qianji Pavilion needs to merge with the Ministry of Industry?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Isn't it because the Minister of Works has been coming to us every few days recently?
What they meant was that the conditions in the Ministry of Works were better, their status was more legitimate as they were employed by the government, and their salaries were higher.
My subordinates are all itching to do something, so they begged me to come to the palace to ask if the Emperor and Empress intend to merge our Qianji Pavilion into the Ministry of Revenue."
This confident child is different. He can file a complaint openly.
"That's not what I meant."
The queen shook her head and made her point clear.
“Although the Qianji Pavilion is small in scale, it is flexible and free. No matter what emergencies occur, you, the Pavilion Master, can take charge.
Once incorporated into the Ministry of Works, it would inevitably be subject to numerous rules and regulations. Furthermore, although the Qianji Pavilion contained many talented individuals, the matters they were involved in were not closely related to construction.
To put it bluntly, you are the department responsible for research and invention, so you should be more pure. There is no benefit in interfering with the Ministry of Industry."
Jiang Han nodded with relief only after getting confirmation from his sister.
"Huh~ Sis, I'm glad you didn't mean that!"
She touched her nose sheepishly, her smile rather flattering. After her sister tapped her forehead in a scolding tone, she finally gave a wry smile and explained a few words.
"To be honest, I thought so too, but I didn't know how to refuse the high branch offered by the Minister of Works.
You know, sister, almost all of my subordinates are craftsmen. The Ministry of Works offers a position of official rank, which is a sweet treat they dare not even think about. To say I'm not tempted would be a lie!
I'm not afraid of losing my power and my position as Pavilion Master; I'm worried they'll lose their original intentions. The Ministry of Works is overwhelmed with people and tasks, managing all of Dayu's construction. How much energy can be allocated to the craftsmen to research novelties?
But if I just keep blocking someone's future, I'll definitely be blamed later. I've been really worried these past few days, could you please tell me what to do?"
The queen smiled and glanced at the glass bottle on the table.
"Don't worry, go back and wait for my news."
"good."
After Jiang Han left, the Minister of Works was summoned into the palace.
The Queen looked at Lord Liu, who had once wielded a sword together to chop down the invading enemy on the wall of Dongling Mansion. She smiled but remained firm.
"Minister Liu, the Qianji Pavilion is like a small alleyway grocery store, selling a variety of goods but each one has its own uses, while the Ministry of Works is like a large restaurant specializing in construction. The two have their own responsibilities, and forcing a merger would only cause chaos.
Furthermore, most of the people in Qianji Pavilion come from the common people and are used to being casual and relaxed. I am afraid they cannot stand the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Industry.
Don't force it, just let Qianji Pavilion develop freely and grow as it can."
