Since the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the discipline of the court had been relaxed and disordered, the gates of the powerful merged with each other, the common people were displaced and could not maintain their own industries. After Liu Yu took control of the government, he vigorously propagated the rules and regulations, implemented the rule of earth and forbade annexation. Yu Liang, a descendant of Yuyao County in Kuaiji County, flouted the laws of the state and hid more than a thousand fugitives to fight against Liu Yu's reform.Liu Yu killed Yu Liang with an iron fist, dismissed the internal history of Kuaiji who had been covering up for him, and dealt with a large number of nobles and officials involved in the matter. For a while, the nobles were dignified, prudent and obeyed the law and discipline far and wide, and did not dare to behave like before. Before this, most of the scholars and filial piety sent by the states were not worthy of their names. Liu Yu then stated above that the former regulations were strictly enforced, and special examinations were conducted for the talents selected by the local governments.
