China's political gains and losses in the past dynasties, the governors with soil are not all virtuous, even if they are easy to buy because they are not virtuous, there are no decrees
The general meaning is: The political gains and losses of China in past dynasties are all the problems of vassal enfeoffment. The governors in power are equivalent to the local emperors. If the sages are good, but if they are not, even if they are replaced, the central government decrees will not reach the governors here (the governors are fragmented and do not listen to the central command), and the situation of the people in the jurisdiction will not reach the heaven. In this way, the central government's control over local governments is weak, and the power of the central government is scattered and powerless. This is not the case when the enfeoffment system is abolished and the county system is implemented. ..... implement the county system and strengthen local control. It is the central government and the emperor who manipulate it. Local laws must obey the central government, just like a nostril venting, just like a father taking care of his children and an elder brother taking care of his younger brother.

In fact, it approved Qin Shihuang's measures to abolish the enfeoffment system and implement counties.
