At that time, due to the purchase of horses to help the Yunnan army, the relevant departments used big baskets instead of old small baskets to restrain food. People complain a lot. Zhao Yi allowed to change back to the old basket to collect grain, which changed the disadvantages of frequent grain collection. At the same time, severely punish prison slaves and bookkeepers who pay exorbitant taxes, and formulate various reform measures to benefit the people. The people of Zhen' an are grateful.
