Gu Yeqi spoke of the matters concerning the restoration of order within Da Chen after the Frost Calamity subsided.
Although the Frost Calamity was eliminated and Dust Li's side was unable to interfere due to the great war, the borders of Da Chen should ideally have swiftly restored order. However, those officials and Martial Artists who utilized the Frost Calamity to distribute relief supplies and control trade and transportation channels were unwilling to relinquish their hold on power easily, causing the reconstruction work to proceed very slowly.
In fact, the pace of reconstruction in the aftermath of the Mingjing Nirvana was even faster than in Da Chen, which had not experienced a major war. Even now, the border areas of the Northern Domains like the Western Mountain remain in a state of chaos, rife with smuggling, banditry, and many disaster-stricken towns still haven't commenced rebuilding. God knows where the court-dispatched supplies and provisions have gone.
