Having established their roles as monarch and minister and laid the foundation for the future establishment of their nation, Lu Yuan suppressed the sadness in his heart and began discussing with Sun Siwen the management of the southern three prefectures.
"Brother Sun, now that the southern three prefectures have just been established, there are many bandits in the area. Although I have deployed troops to suppress them, this is not a long-term solution."
Lu Yuan mentioned his current headache of dealing with the Miao People's escape, and said somewhat helplessly: "Now I have 70,000 troops stationed in various prefectures and counties, consuming an unimaginable amount of food and resources daily. This can be sustained for a short period of time, but in the long run, it would be difficult to continue financially."
