People's hearts have been slightly disturbed.
Nowadays, there are still many people who have survived the continuous natural disasters from years past.
They are inherently sensitive to such events.
Upon learning of this, Liu Bao immediately led officials to the banks of the Luoshui River to emulate Gu Xi's sacrifice and announced a general amnesty, granting titles to the people.
He also rewarded those over eighty years old with a measure of rice, twenty kilos of meat, and five doses of wine.
Those over ninety years old were additionally granted two pieces of silk and three kilos of cotton.
This led to a resurgence in the virtue of respecting the elderly throughout the land.
Hearts were instantly calmed.
People across the land expressed deep gratitude and appreciation.
Moreover, Liu Bao emulated Liu Zhuang's previous practice of reducing palace expenses, canceling all unnecessary tributes from various places.
Only a few were retained.
