"Do not misconstrue Governor Su's strictness. He has stated that there will be rewards along with penalties."

"In a while, we will assess for the fastest and most exquisite handwriting. The governor has promised a two-tael silver reward for the standout performer."

Upon hearing Mr. Chen's announcement, the individuals quickly resumed their writing, their faces alight with anticipation.

"Is it for real? Truly?"

Two taels of silver!

That could purchase 200 catties of rice!

"It's genuine! This is Governor Su's first day in office. He wouldn't deceive us."

With Mr. Chen's assurance, the participants enthusiastically commenced the transcription process. Poxed Face Wang, in particular, felt a surge of excitement.
