When Prefectural Governor Cai was mentioned, not only did General Fan, but all other military generals, look upon him with admiration.
He did not care about the rank he held, nor was he interested in indulging in pleasures; his heart was filled with the welfare of the common people. Scarcely spending time at the official office, he was almost daily outside inspecting and solving various troublesome issues. Such was Prefectural Governor Cai.
Guiliang City, mainly comprised of young and strong individuals, opened up hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in just a few years, producing enough grain for both the common people to eat and to supply the border army.
In the past, the court would send military provisions to the border army, and the losses incurred on the road were an incredibly enormous and shocking figure. Now, with Guiliang City, military provisions could be secured locally, offsetting court taxes, and even earning a good amount of silver for the common people.
