Chapter 438 - 436: Happy or Not?
Jinrong was also very displeased as he watched the Emperor. Just like Ye Zi often said, what’s so special about the daughter of Duke An’s Mansion? Without food, she would still be hungry: without clothes, she would still be cold: and without silver, she still wouldn’t survive. So, what’s so special about the sons of the nation? Don’t they need to eat and dress as well? Then the Emperor said something that surprised the court officials, "When I ask you to assist with work, am I asking you to work for free and encourage laziness in others?"
"..." Although His Majesty claimed he was the Emperor of all his people and placed national affairs first, what he cared about most was still his son.
Filled with satisfaction upon hearing this, Jinrong hurriedly knelt to give thanks, "Imperial Father is truly wise."
As Jinrong stood up, he swept a challenging gaze across the court officials. When his workers did a job, wasn’t it only right to pay them their wages? The officials felt wronged: they hadn’t thought in such a way at all, okay?
Actually, there was no need for Prince Yu and the daughter of Duke An’s Mansion to worry about the wages of Jinrong’s laborers.
Following the Emperor’s request to attend court, Ye Xinyan went to the temporary office of the railway carriage company at the small teahouse, as usual, to work.
Before she even entered, she saw Liu Qing already waiting for her at the teahouse.
As soon as Ye Xinyan set foot inside, she saw Liu Qing, seemingly having waited for her arrival. The moment he saw her appear, he immediately came forward to greet her.
She thought that there must be some issue with the railway carriage company and subconsciously stepped back, glancing towards the railway. The railway carriage was operating normally, and passengers waiting to board were queuing orderly; nothing seemed amiss.
