玉庭久任封圻，治尚安靜，整頓江西、湖北引岸緝私，籌款生息，津貼屯丁，減省漕委，隨事為補苴之計，稍稍相安。 Having long served on provincial frontiers, Sun Yuting favored quiet governance. He tightened control over the salt transit banks of Jiangxi and Hubei to suppress smuggling, raised funds to earn interest, subsidized garrison colonists, and reduced grain-transport deputies. With such piecemeal remedies affairs gradually grew somewhat easier.
