Do you think it's an "abandon hope, all ye who enter here" kind of showing him, or a "look how miserable your people are"? Or both? I think it's a lot of "do you really think you can be happy with Zhao Yunlan :)))". I think he does realise that Dixing at the moment really sucks and that the treaty isn't exactly fair. I'm not sure why he doesn't try harder to change the situation in Dixing, but I don't think he needs to be told that it's not good. (Although he is surprised at how bad it is, in that one moment where the guards are sent to kill the people he's bringing back? Which...was never touched upon again, iirc *long sigh*).
