Although Jinrong scoffed at Liu Chengzhi's powerless efforts, he had his own worries. "Liu Chengzhi is not to be feared, but the number of scholars is vast, and there is the admiration the world holds for those who study. As long as the rating system for craftsmen remains undecided, I'm afraid someone might secretly incite the scholars to make trouble, causing more twists and turns in this matter."
Hu Jing didn't take it seriously and laughed, "What do we have to fear from setbacks? If there's opposition, just delay the implementation. Once we figure out who's leading and who's manipulating from behind the scenes, we can handle them and then try to push forward. It's said: the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and everyone is driven by interest. Who really are those selfless warriors asking for the sake of the country and the people? After a few rounds of this, no one would stick their neck out for such unrewarding matters due to mere interest."
