1、 Most rural areas in the south plant rice. The entire field was divided into countless small plots due to terrain and irrigation, in order to adapt to the working conditions at that time. In this way, due to the differences in fertility among the small plots and the frequent buying and selling of pawns, it is rare for a landlord to have continuous farmland.
2、 Hai Rui's own land in Hainan Island is estimated to be less than 40 acres, but it is divided into 93 pieces, several miles apart. These complex situations make it even more difficult to solve the issue of farmland ownership.
3、 Dai Fengxiang accused Hai Rui in a more severe manner during the incident, stating that he made arbitrary judgments on the property of the people based on his own impulse. Under his rule, tenants dared not pay rent to landlords, and borrowers dared not repay lenders.
4、 Angered and indignant, Hai Rui was finally forced to resign and return to his hometown in the spring of 1570. In his resignation letter, he harshly criticized that "all the officials in the court were women". This kind of arrogant attitude of cursing at everything has caused him to lose universal sympathy within the civil service group.
