For a traditional, old-fashioned Emperor, seeing the common people living carefree, confident, and sunny lives was evidently uncomfortable for Binghan the First.
In his subconscious, the fact that the common people were too well-fed was not a good thing. In all the emperor's techniques he practiced and learned throughout his life, there's no option for truly benefiting the people.
In Binghan the First's view, a King or Emperor is a shepherd, and his subjects are the sheep he herds.
The purpose of letting the sheep graze is to make them fat and strong so they can provide wool and mutton, not to let them unite and seize the shepherd's land and house.
The subtlety of ancient command techniques lies in keeping the common people in a half-alive state, making them too busy with their lives to have thoughts of rebellion, which is seen as a trivial matter.
