I'm really not doing business

Chapter 901: Protecting the People and Demonstrating Virtue, Promoting Agriculture and Demonstrating Miraculous Achievements

In the eyes of some people, the Wanli Reform was a struggle between God and the elders in the military, political, economic and cultural fields due to unequal distribution of spoils.

Not only the poor and laboring people, but also a considerable number of powerful and wealthy people feel this way.

In the eyes of powerful and wealthy people, local celebrities and gentry, they also realized that they had taken too much in the past, while His Majesty had taken too little, which aroused resistance to imperial power.

Ever since the word "emperor" came into being, the struggle between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers has always been like this, with both sides going back and forth.

Seeing that the emperor brought soldiers from the Beijing camp with him, the powerful and wealthy wanted to eat more, so they reluctantly gave the emperor some food. It was in such an environment that the land reclamation was carried out.

But in the ninth year of Wanli, the powerful and wealthy were surprised to find that the emperor was serious!
The Wanli Reform made the Ming Dynasty great again, even including the poor and laboring people!

In the ninth year of the Wanli reign, the imperial decree abolishing the slave system began to be implemented, and in the eleventh year of the Wanli reign it was officially announced to be abolished. At that moment, this was no longer a matter of internal strife among the meat-eaters, or a fight among the meat-eaters.

This is what scares the powerful, wealthy, and local gentry the most. The emperor not only wants to turn things around himself, but he also wants the people of the world to do the same.

It is obvious that there is a general tacit understanding among the powerful and wealthy, as well as the local gentry, that they do not want the poor and the coolies to rise up. The behavior of Liu Youjia of Liuji Tofu Shop is a typical example.

"Why did Yao Guangqi increase the claim amount from five silver coins to fifteen silver coins?" Zhu Yijun looked through the case file again and discovered that some details were missing.

Wang Chonggu explained: "Ma Sanqiang's leg was broken by a donkey. Based on Ma Sanqiang's labor remuneration and his injury, the total amount was fifteen silver coins."

Ma Sanqiang was a poor laborer and he didn't know how much money he should ask for. He felt that he had not done any work and was mainly asking for money for medicine. However, Yao Guangqi believed that because he was injured and could not work due to the official business of Liu's Tofu Shop, this part of the lost wages should also be included in the calculation, so the salary was raised to fifteen silver coins.

"Yao Guangqi's judgment is very fair. I will submit a memorial to the Ministry of Rites to supplement the Ming Dynasty Law. If there are similar complaints in the future, all claims will be made based on this case and it will be written into the Ming Dynasty Law." Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun affirmed Yao Guangqi's judgment.

In fact, being able to make such a judgment is already a huge progress.

How many poor laborers are unwilling to enter the government office all their lives, isn’t it because the government office faces south and people cannot come in if they don’t have money?

If we really go to court, how can the common people be wronged? It's all the master who is wronged.

This story has been repeated on this land for thousands of years.

With such a judgment, Yao Guangqi can be regarded as an upright judge.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "But Yao Guangqi is still wrong. Why didn't he enforce it? Is it because the power I gave him is not enough? An official is a parent, a parent official, a parent official, a parent official, a parent who provides food and clothing to the people."

“When people are in poverty, they return to their roots. Therefore, when they are exhausted from toil, they always call on heaven; when they are sick and in pain, they always call on their parents.”

"If you can't even count on your parents, who can you expect the poor people to count on? They can only rely on the weapons in their hands and pour out their grievances."

“The problem is solved.”

"Yao Guangqi has done well enough, but it's still not good enough. I know it's difficult for him, so I won't blame him this time. I'll reprimand him, and I'll enforce it resolutely next time I see him. If he pokes a hole in the sky, I'll cover it for him! If I can't cover it, I'll let the Beijing Camp cover it for him!"

When it comes to local government offices, the issue of execution of sentences has always been a difficult problem, especially those that do not involve criminal charges but only civil matters, which can easily become a mess.

Not everyone in the yamen is of one mind, and they all share the blame. The reasons behind this are complicated, and it was very difficult for Yao Guangqi to be sentenced like this.

"Your Majesty, that's not what you mean by 'easy problem solved'." Wang Chonggu's expression became even more helpless. Sometimes, His Majesty used idioms that always surprised people.

There, Legazpi explained the nonsense as the style of doing things by the barbarians and barbarians;
Your Majesty solved the problem and explained the action of fighting against oppression for the poor and coolies.

"In fact, Ma Sanqiang asked for the money several times, but was scolded back by Liu Youjia every time. From beginning to end, Ma Sanqiang never talked back." Wang Chonggu talked about another detail of the case. Ma Sanqiang went to Liu Youjia's house to ask for the money, and was scolded by Liu Youjia several times.

Afterwards, the Shanghai County Government investigated and Ma Sanqiang did not talk back.

The reason for not talking back is that Ma Sanqiang has a soft spot: his sick mother who is bedridden, his hungry children, and his wife who takes care of her mother-in-law and children. He changed the trajectory of his life with his own hands and gained a brief happiness in the midst of life's ups and downs.

That night, the four evil men sent by Xu Sihai destroyed everything.

"Your Majesty has convinced me. Your Majesty is wise, but this law, ah..." Wang Chonggu sighed. He didn't know whether the emperor could understand what he said. The court was composed of several rooms and palaces, and meals had to be eaten in separate pots.

"Are you trying to say that the National Dynasty is a tool of the ruling class?" Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and asked.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Chonggu found that His Majesty really guessed what he was going to say at once.

According to the new interpretation of the Ming Dynasty based on the Ming Contradiction Theory and the Production Diagram Theory, even the Ming Dynasty was a tool for the ruling class to rule downwards, let alone the law.

In fact, this is true. The law has never shown any favoritism towards the poor and laborers.

This time it was Zhu Yijun's turn to remain silent. The wheat had ripened thousands of times, but the people had never once shouted "Long live the wheat!"

Wang Chonggu is old, and as a man grows older, he has no taboos when speaking, so he spoke very clearly and plainly to his face. Your Majesty must think clearly about what you are doing. As the king of the Ming Dynasty, your enemies are certain specific people as well as the torrent of history.

What the sickle harvested was never the wheat stalks, but the bent backs of the tenants and hooligans; what the hammer hammered was never the iron nails, but the sweat of the poor coolies;

With the change of dynasties, plowshares were forged into weapons. Kings used weapons to forge tripods, and then forged weapons into plowshares.

Hereditary officials seem to have an unchangeable inheritance, but when the world changes, they become just like everyone else; elected officials think they can transcend the change of dynasties, but the rise and fall of dynasties tells them that it is just a dream, and the swallows that once flew in front of the halls of the rich and powerful have now flown into the homes of ordinary people.

The local gentry measured the land again and again, but their doors were trampled down time and again by the poor laborers; the merchants let the wheat grains roll on the abacus, which became the debts of the poor laborers, and the IOUs eventually became death warrants for the merchants.

The Guochao is the ruling class's ruling tool. It is this land that has been in an unchanging cycle for thousands of years.

“The wheat waves are still golden, but the direction of the wind can change.”

"The people will eventually be able to break free from the rhetorical ruts given by history books. They will no longer be a metaphor for water that carries a boat and tears that overturn it, but the foundation and subject of the country. The people are the foundation of the country. This has never been an empty talk, but a historical inevitability." Zhu Yijun answered Wang Chonggu's question.

Zhu Yijun was afraid that what he said was not accurate, so he thought for a while and continued: "I want to do it. Even if I can't do it, I can become a little starlight, a little torch in the long river of history, lighting the way for future generations, instead of being meaningless."

From ruling for the people to ruling for all people, it is not a simple change in words, but a complete and thorough transformation of the Central Plains civilization from the inside out, from the bone marrow to the blood.

This road is long and difficult, and he will do his part.

"Wang Ci Fu, what is the identity of Xu Sihai and his gang, and why are they so active in Songjiang Prefecture?" Zhu Yijun inquired about the details of the case. It was indeed strange that people like Xu Sihai were not arrested by the government and sent to Southeast Asia to be whipped.

The Ming Dynasty had to clean up these people every year because there was a huge demand in Southeast Asia. In a metropolis with a population of over one million, this type of people should be the main target of cleaning up.

These people have evaded the imperial court's arrest time and time again, and they even dared to resist arrest. It is really unbelievable that they can live in the Ming Dynasty and even live to this day.

Wang Chonggu said with a complicated expression: "They are from the Workers' Alliance. Most of them are big bosses among the craftsmen. They say they are helping the craftsmen negotiate terms with the bosses, but in fact they are just dogs raised by the powerful and wealthy."

"The reason why Liu Youjia is so rampant is also related to these trade unions, because these so-called trade unions are the best means to divert conflicts."

It was not decent for Liu Youjia to transform the conflict between the craftsmen and their employers into a conflict between the craftsmen and the trade unions by putting pressure on them himself. He could let Xu Sihai step in and not blame him if something went wrong.

Zhu Yijun immediately said: "These so-called labor unions that raise thugs and oppress craftsmen are hindering the emergence of real labor unions! Send an order to Songjiang Prefecture to ban all such labor unions. After the background is found out, all the criminals will be exiled to Southeast Asia."

The purpose of setting up some yamen gates is to hinder the emergence of yamen gates that can actually perform their duties. They block the way you want to take in advance, leaving you with no way to go.

The rudiments of a trade union had already appeared in Songjiang Prefecture.

The distribution of poor coolies in the city of Ming Dynasty showed obvious regional characteristics, that is, "teaching, helping and leading". They were introduced by acquaintances in their hometown, and then went out to work under the guidance of knowledgeable acquaintances.

The Ming Dynasty court wanted to observe the differences between the labor union that was born in this context of mentoring and helping others and the labor unions formed in the Ming Dynasty court's official factories.

But it is obvious that the trade unions that grew up among the people through mentoring and helping others are unable to perform their functions. Instead, they have become a sharp weapon in the hands of powerful tycoons and wealthy businessmen to stab the poor and laboring people.

Once a class transition is achieved, people's identity will change. Not only will they not sympathize with the poor and laborers, they will even oppress them even more severely.

This escalation and obvious behavior is an attempt to completely cut off ties with one's past self and to show one's allegiance to the new master.

It is obvious that these labor unions, which were originally from poor laborers and turned into thugs, servants, and running dogs, not only failed to safeguard the collective interests of the craftsmen, but instead caused the craftsmen to suffer even more.

In addition to supporting the old vested interests, the craftsmen also have to support these thugs, which is extremely painful.

"This means that the exploration of the private labor union has failed. This is the fourth time." Zhu Yijun said sincerely: "Wang Ci Fu, don't be discouraged. You still have to find ways to establish it."

Failure is terrible, but being discouraged is too humiliating.

Zhu Yijun was well aware of the difficulty of organizing a trade union, which involved the issue of 'getting on the bus and closing the door', but when faced with a problem, one must find a way to overcome it rather than backing down.

Zhu Yijun and Wang Chonggu talked about the establishment of a trade union.

Wang Chonggu already had new ideas. In fact, in the eyes of many court officials, Wang Chonggu's efforts were in vain. History has proven this countless times that Wang Chonggu was dreaming an unrealistic dream.

But Wang Chonggu still wanted to give it a try.

"I think this can be done. Does the union have to have an entity? I don't think so." Wang Chonggu talked about his new idea. He planned to turn the union into a craftsmen's conference. Whenever there was something to ask, he would randomly select craftsmen to ask questions.

There are no preset conditions, the selection is completely random, and the selected craftsmen will be brought to the front and questioned.

The final result also needs to be put to a referendum, allowing every craftsman to vote and choose between yes or no. In this way, some problems can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Zhu Yijun thought again and again and said: "Wang Cifu's idea should come from the discussion of the people in the imperial court and the discussion of politics in the imperial court. I have discovered the drawbacks of this kind of discussion over the years. There are always some people who are smart and teach the people I choose to speak. There are more people who sing praises and fewer people who really state the problem."

"Moreover, this kind of yes or no choice can easily create divisions. If some people agree, there must be others who disagree. If it is an absolute majority, such as more than two-thirds of the people who choose it, then it is easy to say that the minority will obey the majority."

"But once it's a 50-50 situation, it makes things worse. The problem isn't solved, and the craftsmen are pitted against each other."

"Your Majesty is right." Wang Chonggu heard your Majesty's opinion and agreed with your Majesty's question. The system of "Chen Min Nian in the Halls and Temples" and "Qin Zheng Dian" since the second year of Wanli is a very interesting system, which is very similar to the system of craftsmen's congress that Wang Chonggu wants to promote.

"So, I think we can make an iron box. If anyone has any opinions or better ideas, they can be anonymously submitted to the iron box. One person can make suggestions and everyone can make suggestions. The craftsmen can also express their own opinions." Zhu Yijun gave additional suggestions.

Consulting craftsmen widely, formulating rules, and expressing opinions through referendum are already huge improvements, but if a mechanism for feedback can be added, this kind of craftsmen's conference will be more reasonable.

"Don't listen to me. I know a lot about farming, but I'm not as good as you at craftsmanship."

"All policies need people to implement them, so we should do it step by step, starting from asking the craftsmen for their opinions and getting the road started. Sometimes, setting out is more important than arriving at Lingshan." Zhu Yijun thought Wang Chonggu's idea was very good and gave his affirmation and some of his own opinions.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun also told Wang Chonggu that the establishment of the craftsmen's congress system did not require his complete compliance, as he did not know as much about this matter as Wang Chonggu and other people who were in charge of the specific matter.

"I obey your command." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and took his leave. He had finished what he wanted to say.

When he came to plead for mercy, he found that there was no need to plead at all. His Majesty knew very well what he was doing, and Wang Qian and Yao Guangqi, who were acting on behalf of the people, would not be held accountable by His Majesty.

He discussed the matter of the Craftsmen's Conference with His Majesty and gained more confidence. However, as he walked, Wang Chonggu smiled at himself. Every time he set up the Craftsmen's Union, he was full of hope, but then returned disappointed. After so many times, he was disappointed to the point of feeling a little desperate.

It’s good to be young. Your Majesty is very young and will never despair about almost anything.

Wang Chonggu was walking on the path of the Mochou Lake Palace. This palace, which covered an area of ​​only 30 acres, was probably the smallest palace in history. Wang Chonggu was a little annoyed because he was too old and it was difficult for him to follow in the footsteps of His Majesty.

Your Majesty can give workers political life, and the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences, and the Labor Party will release productivity to safeguard this political life.

Theoretically it is achievable, but he is too old to do it, so he can only make a start and pass it on to future generations.

But the wisdom of later generations is not trustworthy. Like the emperor, Wang Chonggu never believed in the wisdom of later generations. The main thread of history is that when a person dies, the government dies. Sometimes, even the person is not dead, but the fire has already gone out.

Wang Chonggu's obsession with the trade union does not mean that he has the same obsession as Felipe.

Instead, he knew deeply that the biggest problem of government-run craftsmen was rigidity and bloat. Only by establishing a bottom-up monitoring mechanism, coupled with top-down supervision by the court, could government-run craftsmen truly continue to operate and provide a material basis for the Ming Dynasty's continuous innovation.

Wang Chonggu left the Mochou Lake Palace.

Zhu Yijun is taking care of the fast-growing poplar seedlings. There are two ways to grow fast-growing poplar seedlings, one is cuttings and the other is planting seeds. Zhu Yijun is using the second method. His fast-growing poplars have sprouted quickly, and he is ready to transplant them once they grow a little bigger.

"When Shen Yikuan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was in Gansu, he ordered Gansu to raise seedlings. This year, Shi Xingyan, the new Governor-General of Shaanxi, reported to the emperor that the number of fast-growing poplar seedlings could be as high as 300,000 a year, and he planned to plant the entire Hexi Corridor with fast-growing poplars." Feng Bao mentioned Shi Xingyan's memorial about the scale of Zhongsheng's fast-growing poplar seedling cultivation.

"Three hundred thousand trees? Is that so many?" Zhu Yijun asked in surprise.

Feng Bao said with some emotion: "Shi Xingyan submitted a memorial to the emperor, suggesting that in the next five to ten years, the scale of seedling cultivation be expanded to 30 million or even 300 million plants, in order to realize the last wish of Shi Maohua, the former governor of Shaanxi Province, which is Shi Maohua's poem, 'Three thousand miles of newly planted willows, attracting the spring breeze to pass through Yuguan.'"

"But Shi Xingyan is against reopening the Western Regions." Zhu Yijun frowned. Shi Xingyan's opposition was based on the reality. It is too cold and too dry now. If the Western Regions are reopened, they will still be lost. The court does not need to put too much energy on the Western Regions, but on opening up the sea.

Shi Xingyan believed that the area within Jiayuguan was the hinterland, while the area outside Jiayuguan could be controlled. Too much investment would instead delay the process of Ming Dynasty's opening up to the sea.

Shi Xingyan could plant willows all over the Hexi Corridor, but when he arrived in the Western Regions, he no longer had the confidence. Moreover, Shaanxi, Gansu and Suiyuan were too poor and did not have much spare resources to support the court's continued development.

The new developments had to be supplied locally, otherwise the food and money would have to be transported halfway across the country, and even the richest court could not afford such a hassle.

Zhu Yijun thought about it again and again, then sighed and said, "Governor Shi is a good official. I know that it is not good for him to embarrass the people of Shaanxi, Gansu and Suizhou just for my own vanity. Let Ningyuan Hou do whatever he wants."

Shi Xingyan's opposition was to blame Chen Shan, which was a sign of loyalty. He could have easily squeezed the manpower, material and financial resources of the people of Shaanxi, Gansu and Suiyuan to gather enough military pay and food to support the court's expansion.

Just like the successive prefects of Xuzhou, when faced with the choice between protecting the canal transportation or protecting people's livelihood, all of them chose to protect the canal transportation.

What does the suffering of the people of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sui have to do with his promotion? As long as he completes the holy mission, he can gain the holy favor and make progress.

However, Shi Xingyan firmly opposed the vigorous development of the Western Regions, because in his opinion, this would greatly increase the burden on the border areas.

Zhu Yijun did not plan to rush into reopening the Western Regions, but rather intended to treat it as a lifelong task. The gains must be made, but haste makes waste.

"Doctor of Agronomy Ke Yanchang has sent a memorial from Suiyuan. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty." Feng Bao took out a memorial from his sleeve, and then signaled a eunuch to bring the prepared blue liquid closer.

"Huh? That's awesome!" Zhu Yijun said sincerely.

Ke Yanchang invented a cheap pesticide. In addition to being a doctor of agronomy, he is also a veterinarian. Leaf mold disease swept across Suiyuan last year, causing heavy losses to farmers.

Leaf mold disease is the mold of leaves. This year, leaf mold disease has returned again, making farmers anxious but helpless.

For leaf mold disease, alum, quicklime and water are mixed in a certain proportion to create a cheap and effective pesticide.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand to take it, and the eunuch stepped back. Zhu Yijun wanted to take it again, and the eunuch took three steps back.

"I just want to take a look." Zhu Yijun looked at the eunuch and said helplessly.

The eunuch put the gallbladder aside, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is poisonous. The chief physician said that you cannot get close to it."

"The chief physician is more effective than me, right?" Zhu Yijun was so angry that he laughed. He just wanted to take a look, not to taste it. This eunuch was a bit rigid.

"I deserve to die." The eunuch kowtowed again, without saying a word. Apart from the instructions of the chief medical officer, the empress, and Zhang Hong, the second ancestor, the eunuch did not dare to shirk his responsibility and could only bite the bullet and disobey the order.

If the eunuch dares to give the emperor something poisonous today, he will dare to assassinate the king tomorrow!
"Forget it, forget it. You hold it and I'll take a look from a distance." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to hold it up and take a look. He had no intention of making things difficult for the eunuch. Behind this were not only Feng Bao, Zhang Hong and the Queen, but also the Empress Dowager Li's decree.

Zhu Yijun looked at the sky-blue gelatinous suspension for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was. He asked, "Is this thing really as powerful as the memorial says? Feng Bao, have you tried it?"

Feng Bao bowed his head and said, "I have tried it. There are also some diseased flowers, plants and trees in the Mochou Lake courtyard. They are much more useful than what Dr. Ke Yanchang of Agronomy said."

"It can also be used on livestock and fish, but not shrimps, as shrimps cannot excrete the toxins. It is blue and a bit creepy, and has a wide range of uses."

Feng Bao led the Emperor for a few steps and they came to a place where alum had been spread. Zhu Yijun was a farmer and there was a special section on diseases and insect pests in his "Book of Agriculture".

Feng Bao took the emperor around for a look, and Zhu Yijun recognized four diseases: leaf mildew, leaf fall, anthracnose, and ring rot. It was actually very effective.

"Your Majesty, this way." Feng Bao led the emperor to a tank where two carps were kept. But not long after Zhu Yijun arrived at the Southern Court, one of the carps fell ill and was infected with parasites.

After using gallstones and green vitriol, the carp that was almost dead actually had a chance to recover.

Insecticides and fungicides with gallstones as the main material are low in price, have a wide range of sterilization, and are widely used, and are of great significance to agricultural production.

Zhu Yijun asked about the preparation process in detail. The disinfection principle is actually very simple. It is the effect of copper ions because the water in the swimming pool is blue.

Moreover, the proportions of alum, quicklime and water are different and vary depending on the season and crops.

For example, for grapes, if the condition is not serious, use half the dose and reduce the amount of quicklime. If the condition is serious and it is still the ripening season, use the same amount, that is, the weight of alum and quicklime are the same. For example, for apples and pears, only use half the dose.

There are regulations on when to spray, how much to spray, and how many times to spray.

“Together with the patterned jacquard machine, let’s give next year’s Chonggu Progress Award to these two.” Zhu Yijun looked at the prepared suspension in the eunuch’s hand and ultimately did not grab it, as he recognized the great significance of this gallstone solution.

It totally deserves an award for respecting the past and making progress.

Feng Bao hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Ke was robbed by horse bandits on the way to the forest farm last year and was almost injured. If it weren't for the protection of the imperial guards, he would have been in danger."

"Who did it?!" Zhu Yijun's eyes flashed with ferocity, and even the corners of his mouth twitched twice as he said, "Go to Suiyuan and grind these people to dust! Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed! Was it Madam Zhongshun's order? Or was it done by some diehard grassland restorationists?"

"It's the other way around!"

Feng Bao knew very well that His Majesty was extremely angry and even wanted to burn Madam Zhongshun.

Doctors of the Gewu School do not participate in politics, but that does not mean that they have a low status. Each of these Doctors of the Gewu School is very important. Even Lin Fucheng is a precious talent in Your Majesty's heart.

These people are the emperor's personal guests.

Feng Bao knew that His Majesty would be angry, and that anger is harmful to the body, so he chose a time when His Majesty was in a good mood to tell His Majesty about this matter.

Feng Bao quickly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. These horse bandits have been crushed to ashes!"

"It was last winter. Dr. Ke thought there might be a fire in the forest farm, so he went to check it out. As luck would have it, a group of horse bandits thought Dr. Ke was a big fish, so they were ready to attack. The guards, the imperial guards, and the guards killed the horse bandits on the spot."

"This spring, there are no more bandits in Suiyuan."

The horse bandits are hard to find, which is the key to suppressing them, but in fact, the people all know where these horse bandits are hiding.

When the Ming Dynasty was fighting against Bansheng, some of Altan Khan's remnants became bandits. The people of the grasslands had some sympathy for these remnants. Therefore, the biggest problem the Suiyuan Guards encountered in suppressing these horse bandits was that they could not find them and the people of the grasslands would not cooperate.

This incident was blamed on Dr. Ke, which completely aroused public anger.

Dr. Ke holds a very high status in the grassland. As a doctor of agronomy who is devoted to cultivating forage, forest farms and pesticides, he is a living Bodhisattva among living Bodhisattvas. People are all made of flesh and blood. The people living in the grassland know best what kind of changes Dr. Ke has brought to the grassland.

As the news of Dr. Ke's attack spread, some grassland people chose to lead the way. The bandit suppression campaign that lasted for nearly six months this spring was considered to have completely wiped out the horse bandits in Suiyuan.

Zhu Yijun was still angry and said: "I will issue a strict order to the officials in Suiyuan. If something like this happens again, you will never have a doctor of science going to the grassland again. You raised a bunch of ungrateful people!"

Compared to the lack of results in the years of Luzon's monarchy, the grassland is actually already very good. As soon as the news that Ke Yanchang was robbed by horse bandits spread, the bandits disappeared.

The situation in Suiyuan is more similar to that in Yunnan than to that in Luzon.
