After Ni Wenhuan left, Zhu Youxiao took the question book and looked at it again.
Despite the complexity of political affairs, the work theme in recent years is unlikely to change significantly.
Supporting foreign wars, promoting benefits and eliminating disadvantages at home, easing social conflicts, and responding to the impending Little Ice Age all require "money and food".
For Zhu Youxiao, he would make the choice with his eyes closed: to make temporary huge profits by confiscating property or to establish a healthy system that can last for a long time.
He is not forced into a desperate situation now, and is not as poor as he was at the end of the Chongzhen period. Zhu Youxiao naturally does not want to use overly cruel means.

Zhu Youjian's biggest character flaws were his stubbornness, arbitrariness and suspicion. Perhaps it was the end of the dynasty that magnified these flaws.
Zhu Youxiao hoped that he would change, and he was not going to use the preaching method anymore. He wanted to let him walk and see, and this kind of education would be more effective.
