Just the mere contemplation of such actions sent shivers down their spines.
How utterly immoral!
The devastation of the 100,000-mu mulberry garden would not only inflict colossal losses upon its owner but would also deprive countless families of their income and sustenance, plunging them into hardship.
Moreover, the silk produced within this vast expanse of mulberry fields held significant economic importance. Its destruction would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the markets of Yangzhou and the entire Jiangnan region. The repercussions would be profound, leading to the closure of many small mills and the ruin of numerous livelihoods.
Such actions were an egregious display of immorality.
The official resolved to punish the culprits severely, making an example of them to deter any potential wrongdoers.
