Wáng Yáochén was silent for a long time, quietly sipping his tea until the cup was empty before he snapped out of his thoughts. He set down his teacup, suddenly chuckled, and slowly began to speak:
"Han Zhi, your entire scheme is indeed intricately connected. Yet, despite this brilliance, every single step in the practical execution is fraught with hidden traps and leaves no room for error."
Wáng Yáochén narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his fingers against the edge of the table. "Take the public disclosure of accounts, for instance. While the method is sound, those censors are all people of standing and prestige. To force them to lay bare their family finances goes against both human sentiment and reason, and there is bound to be heavy resistance. If we want to push this through, we must find a way to neutralize that resistance."
