The fief encompassed four villages, laid out in a grid pattern, each quadrant hosting a village, creating a symmetric arrangement.
Viewed from above, the road distribution resembled a sparse spider web connecting villages, paths between villages, and routes to the county town. Any road frequented by over a hundred people daily was paved with bluestone slabs.
Chu Qingzhi, accompanied by Tian Xiaoqiu, traversed all the roads.
Tian Xiaoqiu, gazing around, sincerely remarked, "Fifth Cousin, the people living in your fief are truly fortunate."
Chu Qingzhi, surveying the lush landscape, reflected, "How well one lives depends on their own efforts."
Although Tian Xiaoqiu didn't fully grasp Chu Qingzhi's meaning, she expressed her observations, "Everyone seems to be living well. Compared to before, it's like being in heaven now."
Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Let's head back."
