From Bad to Worse

According to Confucius's thought of benevolent government, QIanlong reused Fu Heng, Liu Tongxun, AGgui, Ji Yun and others, and continued to implement the policy of economic prosperity based on leniency, in efforts to create a prosperous feudal society. However, due to his wrong strategic guiding ideology and his incompetence, Jinchuan War was defeated again, and the internal contradictions between the corrupt forces inside and outside the court represented by Gao Heng and feudal society such as annexation of land and inequality between the rich and the poor intensified. Although Qianlong urged hard work and severely punished corruption, he was unable to save the embarrassing situation of Ganlong's decline.
