The thing about Dixing having no schools that he's been trying to get the Regent to do something about is not a new problem, for example.
Sure, but no schools doesn't mean no opportunities for learning, any more than no hospitals means no healers or herbalists, right? (As you pointed out in a beta recently, Dixing may well have scholars.) It might mean unequal or unreliable access to education, but that can also be true in societies with schools. Being Shen Wei, he'll champion schools because Learning, but I don't know if "there are no schools" is in and of itself proof that things are unbearable. You know? Everyone seems to be literate.
The criminal justice system, otoh... and he does know a bit about that because he rescued Chu Shuzhi, but how much does he know? Maybe he tells himself it's usually not so bad, and it's out of his jurisdiction, at least to start with? [Insert "I am very vague about this part of canon" disclaimers.]
When he first wakes up, he seems comfortable leaving the Regent in charge, presumably assuming everything is mostly okay, and anything that isn't will be fixed when the Hallows are restored. And he probably doesn't spend a huge amount of time down there after that. (He has all of academia to catch up on! And also very little political experience.)
He tells Mirror Weiwei, "You escaped Dixing because you wanted to breathe pure air," not "to escape the politics/to go to school..." Though, granted, "breath pure air" could be a metaphor for everything Haixing has that Dixing doesn't. Idk.
