Furthermore, it was also to establish the authority of Zhu Yunwen and the imperial family.
Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously. By simply passing the question to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen had clearly achieved his goal.

Next, we need to worry about the abolition of land annexation in this area.
