After becoming governor of Cheng City, Song Chuan has been working hard to develop Cheng City. There were many powerful official here and Song Chuan had to manage the balance of power well.
Besides that, he also had to take care of the officials and many other matters.
One year should be enough for him to get used to his new work and so on. Afterwards, it was his improvement plan for Cheng City without affecting the interest of these people.
Or in other words, he distributed the cake and those closer to him would get more benefit.
But it was also because Song Chuan started the trade route with the river that he found out that the situation on the west was not right. There were many people who suffered from famine and they couldn't eat enough.
The merchants who came were not bringing the supplies that Song Chuan expected but other things. Through asking them, he found out the situation on the west side was not very optimistic but this matter was outside his jurisdiction.
