Zhuge Zhongguang said, "Although I was not in Great Xia before, I also knew about the Sum Emperor's determination to eliminate the Aristocratic Families; in my view, the Sum Emperor would definitely not completely compromise with the Aristocratic Families."
"Since the Sum Emperor would not fully compromise with the Aristocratic Families, every action he takes must be driven by his own interest considerations."
"I believe that when the Sum Emperor handed over the salt industry management rights, it was not to compromise with those Aristocratic Families, but to trade with a certain Aristocratic Family."
"Even though the salt industry management rights, once released, would benefit most Aristocratic Families, within this, there must be one family that gains the most."
