Liu Qi was right. The savviest way to handle this was to simply allocate the pills to the local Prefects and let them distribute them as they saw fit. I would only need to provide some token supervision.
That way, I'd get the credit and earn a favor from the local officials to boot.
At worst, I could do what Yongzi did. He may have distributed them himself, but he gave them directly to the local Junior Officials. While that limited the space for shady dealings, it didn't end with him offending anyone.
But doing it my way—giving everything to the common people—was indeed a thankless task.
Truthfully, he'd had his doubts about this ever since accepting Kan Luotang's wish; he just hadn't fleshed them out.
Still, he had no intention of backing down.
Farming Insight Points was one thing.
Fulfilling his promise to Kan Luotang was another.
This meant he was destined to see it through.
There was no room for compromise.
