If there really was something wrong and Shen Han didn't want to say it, there was nothing they could do.
I can only wait until he is willing to talk, and then help him find a solution. In the hall, Shen Han sat at the top.
"Ministry of Industry?" Shen Liang looked at him puzzledly.
"Well, if you go to the Ministry of Industry, you will have more room for development with your skills."
Shen Liang frowned and thought for a moment: "What's the difference between that and me in this state capital?"
"The people in the Ministry of Industry have absolutely top-notch craftsmanship. You can learn a lot from them, especially from experience. Also, the materials used there are of all kinds, not to mention the quality. What they build is something you can't see here, and the scale is much larger. Most importantly, you have a great chance of getting promoted."
"I'm not interested in promotion."
"How could I not know? But promotion and your goal of making something are not in conflict. Only when you have a higher position and more power can you get in touch with more difficult and cutting-edge things. Let's put it this way. If you are there and find a very difficult and challenging building, or something else, but you have no power, you may not be able to participate in it. You can only listen to your superiors' arrangements. But if you can make your own decisions, you can make whatever you want, and even invent something that benefits the people. Then it will be a great achievement."
Shen Liang's frown never relaxed: "But brother, you know, I'm not very good at dealing with people. I just like to make things. If it's too complicated, I may not be able to handle it."
"Don't worry, Big Brother will help you. I won't ask you to be a high-ranking official, but you just need to be at the bottom. Otherwise, you will be restricted everywhere. It's better to be comfortable in the state capital."
"Then I'll think about it."
Shen Han had said so much, and seeing that he still didn't agree, he asked, "Do you have any other concerns?"
"I am the only one who stays at home now. If I go to Kyoto, my mother will be the only one left at home. I am afraid..."
"It's my fault as the boss that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities." Shen Han also felt a little guilty.
"I don't have one either. Why don't I go out and venture into the world?" Shen Xing said.
"Third brother, you can go to the martial arts world if you want to, and you can quit if you want to. Haven't you ever heard that once you enter the martial arts world, you have no choice but to follow it?" Shen Li felt this when he was in Nanzhou. You really can't quit the martial arts world if you want to. Fortunately, Shen Xing didn't join any sect. After all, he had made a name for himself in the martial arts world, and it wasn't so easy for him to quit.
"It's okay, give me some time and I'll arrange it." Shen Xing said.
"No need, I think I'd better stay at home and not go to the Ministry of Industry." Shen Liang said.
"Okay, you guys. First of all, Mom can take care of herself. She will never want to delay what we want to do because of me. Secondly, don't worry about Mom. There are so many people at home taking care of her, so there will be no problem. Finally, I will expand my business to Kyoto. When I settle down in Kyoto, I can bring Mom to Kyoto. Then our family can be together again. So what we need now is time, but it won't be too long."
After hearing Shen Li's words, the three of them smiled with relief.
"A-Li is still the best." Shen Han said.
"That's right. So, second brother, you should go to Kyoto without any worries. By the way, eldest brother, if you transfer second brother to Kyoto, can't you give him a higher official position?" Shen Li said.
"Brother is only a fifth-rank official now. It's good enough for you to transfer people to Kyoto. You still expect me to promote them? You really think that you can do anything." As he said that, Shen Han lightly tapped Shen Li's forehead with his finger.
"Oh, then big brother, you should also strive to get promoted as soon as possible. It would be best if you could be promoted to the highest position in your Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Personnel. This way, you will have more power, and my second brother will also be able to be promoted higher in the future."
"I would like to, but it's not as easy as you say. The officialdom is very complicated. You can't just do whatever you want."
Shen Li naturally understood this. In the past, he thought that Shen Han might not be able to adapt to the officialdom. Although he was not dull, he might not be very good at dealing with people. But now, seeing that he could easily transfer Ruan Mingde, a prefect of a state, to Kyoto, and also transfer Shen Liang there, she felt that she was too one-sided.
Especially this time when I came back, I felt that I couldn’t see through it.
This is what is honed in officialdom.
She now felt that he might go further in the officialdom. And Shen Han's kindness would not turn him into a corrupt official who played power games.
"Brother, our family has money now. If you need it, you can take some with you. I don't mean anything else. After all, you are an official in Kyoto. That place is full of rich or noble people. If you have some money, you won't be looked down upon." Shen Li said this with some trepidation.
She thought that the officialdom was complicated, and if one wanted to establish connections, one would definitely need money. It wasn't that she was asking him to bribe, but if one had money, many times, it would be much easier to get things done.
"Do you want me to take the money as bribes and then climb up?" Shen Han said.
"No, I didn't mean that, absolutely not." Shen Li was really afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained hurriedly.
"I know Ali means well, but you are a scholar after all. Although you are not a bookworm, you still have the integrity of a scholar. You cannot bribe me. But you are right. If you are poor in Kyoto, people will look down on you. And whether in officialdom or in life, it is really inconvenient to be poor. So I will listen to Ali."
Shen Li was stunned. Does this mean he agrees to bring money?
But at the same time, she also felt a little proud. Whether Shen Han wanted to use the money to live or to pursue a career in politics, he always had his own bottom line. This made her feel much more at ease. At least he would not become a corrupt official.
He understands what he should and should not do, and he can grasp the right balance, so it's good like this.
"Brother, if you need any money, just go to the workshop's accounting office and withdraw it. Don't be polite."
"Yes." Shen Han did not refuse, because if Shen Li went to Kyoto in the future, he had to build good relationships with some people so that he could help her. There were many powerful people in Kyoto, and if he offended them, he might die without knowing how.
He wanted to pave the way for her. Even if he couldn't pave the whole way, he wanted to make her journey smoother.
But he still knows that there are some things that should be done and some things that should not be done, and he will not allow himself to become a person who will do anything to achieve his goals.
"A Li, you give it to my brother, and what about me? I also need money in the world." Shen Xing said.
"Of course I did. Third brother, you should bring more money with you. If you have money, you won't have to suffer when you go out. Many people will want to be your friend because you are rich. Then you should make more friends, especially those with good martial arts and good character. If they can quit the underworld, you can introduce them to me. Our family really needs a good guard."
