By the end of April, a major event occurred in the Imperial Court.
The current state of the Imperial Court's frontier is still relatively stable. Although there are occasional conflicts with neighboring countries, both sides exercise restraint and keep it within a small scope.
There are no large-scale conflicts.
The frontier is guarded by tens of thousands of border troops, and with these forces, the Imperial Court remains stable as a mountain, and the people can live peacefully.
However, the annual expenditure for the border troops' provisions and silver is significant.
Aside from other things, just for the provisions of the border troops, it requires the strength of the whole country to transport from the affluent areas of fish and rice to the frontier.
Areas with waterways are fine, but those without have to rely on mules and horses for transportation.
