Chief Clerk Wen cautiously replied, "The fourteen counties are at varying distances. To patrol them all would take at least two to three months. The Commandery Princess has previously led troops to suppress bandits and has been inspecting the workshops these days without a single day's rest. Now to inspect the warehouses as well, isn't it too exhausting?"
Jiang Shaohua smiled, glancing at Chief Clerk Wen, "I, the Commandery Princess, am full of energy, not feeling the slightest bit tired. But Chief Clerk Wen, you're fifty-nine this year, and not as physically fit as the young ones. You might not endure the hardships of traveling."
Without waiting for Chief Clerk Wen to respond, she continued considerately, "Actually, at your age, Chief Clerk Wen, if you hold on for another year or so, you can retire honorably. Why suffer through laborious tasks, it's best to pass through with ease. This is human nature, and I won't hold it against you."
