However, Zhu Yunwen knew that in order to govern the country well and to ensure that the common people lived well, his power had to penetrate into the grassroots of the country and into every aspect of life.

Only in this way can the country be truly governed well.

In Zhu Yunwen's mind, a country is never composed of middle and upper-level officials; in the eyes of the middle and upper-level officials, there is only self-interest.

For example, noble families and the scholar-official class, in their eyes, the interests of the nation were far more important than those of the people.

As mentioned before, in their view, a country can be overthrown or even destroyed.

However, as long as the interests, property, and rights of these powerful families and nobles are not diminished, it doesn't matter to them.

People with power, influence, and wealth are not necessarily loyal to their country.

It is often the ordinary people at the bottom of society who have a purer and simpler desire for a better country.

This is patriotism!

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen knew that even if those middle and upper-level aristocratic families, nobles, and landlords were fed and lived well, they might not necessarily contribute anything to the country.

They probably don't even have that kind of intention.

Only ordinary people possess such sentiments, and only by uniting these people at the bottom of society and improving their lives can this country become more stable and its foundation more solid.

In any field, those at the grassroots level are the true pillars.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen had to extend his power to the grassroots level. He wanted to solve problems for the people at the grassroots level, improve their lives, and revitalize the entire country from the grassroots level.

Food can feed the people.

Land can become the property of the people.

Coal can keep people warm in the cold.

Only when the people are doing well will the country be doing well.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen had many things to do. At least for now, Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive and could sit in the palace, which gave Zhu Yunwen the opportunity to do these things.
