At these words, Han Qinhu calmed down.
He was, however, rather surprised by Shen Changchuan's reaction.
When Shen Changchuan had first refused, Han Qinhu had assumed the young man would stubbornly stick to his guns, pressing on even if he knew he was wrong.
He thought he would insist on compensating the family of every person who died in the line of duty with ten catties of Spirit Grain, regardless of whether it was the right call.
'After all, the young are full of hot-headed pride.'
'Few young people recognize when they're wrong, or even if they do, they'll just brazen it out. They won't turn back until they've hit a wall, unwilling to change course so easily.'
'Or worse, they'd feel like they've been made a fool of, fly into a rage, and take it out on everyone else.'
It was for this very reason that Han Qinhu had kept silent.
