About This Novel
This book takes five cases of corruption among Yunnan border officials from 1726 to 1799 as the object of observation. It explores the impact of the reform of the land and the return of local officials on Yunnan during the Yongzheng and Qian Dynasties, as well as the ruling thoughts of the monarchs in the Yongzheng and Qian dynasties. It forms the following core viewpoints: First, the reform of the land and the return of local officials during the Yongzheng period was an important node in the integration process of Yunnan and the mainland in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was used as a benchmark. Yunnan has undergone major changes in politics and culture. It is no longer a border province with marginalized political status, but has gradually transformed into an inland province with a high degree of integration with the Central Plains. Secondly, while political integration has brought rapid development opportunities to Yunnan, it has also had many impacts on the local social culture and official structure.
