They may have wanted to change this situation for a long time, and the policies that Zhu Yunwen is now implementing are actually very popular among these people.

A yamen runner stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Who goes there? What brings you to the county government office?"

Another voice rang out, saying:
