The Emperor did not intend to impose his will on others; it was just that this matter was indeed an urgent priority. Whether it could be achieved or not was another question. To press them first might bring about an unexpected effect.
To Wang Xian's surprise, Jinrong only wrinkled his brow slightly in reluctance and then agreed, "This... can be tried. However," Jinrong thought of Ye Xinyan's style of expecting compensation for labor and refusing to work without payment, "does Imperial Father know the rules of the craftsmen in the common folk? If it were someone else, it would surely take a month or two to complete this task. Imperial Father wants results before the end of the year; this means rushing the work."
The Emperor did not quite understand what Jinrong meant, "It is about rushing the work, indeed." Otherwise, why go through him? The task could just be handed over to the Ministry of Works.
