He sat behind a golden silk nanmu desk piled high with disaster reports from various counties. He reported that 76,000 acres of farmland had been flooded in Shanhu County with over 300 deaths, noting the disaster was 30% worse than the historic Ganjiang River breach during the 45th year of the Wanli reign. A memorial urging payment of military funds for suppressing the rebellion lay on his desk.
