"Northern Han people are already losing hope, and in a few more years, Daqian will realize that the taxes from the Northern Territory are insufficient and will begin to gradually oppress the Southern Han people. By then, the Han people in the South will be treated just like those in the Northern Territory."
"Jiu Si, just think about this: you are a small landowner, living a good life with hundreds of acres of fertile land, a loving wife and concubines, and children both sons and daughters. Then, one day the court decrees that all land shall belong to Daqian, and the Mulan Nobles ride their horses to mark their territories."
"When that time comes, your hundreds of acres of fertile land will be taken away, your family's home plundered, and you thought that losing your wealth would spare your life."
