This was the second year since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, and weather conditions were favorable for crops everywhere. Coupled with tax reduction, forest conversion, and other agricultural policies, the commoners everywhere had a chance to catch their breath. In addition, Mu Yangling had opened grain stores all over the central, southern, and western regions. With the availability of grain seeds and the planting manual issued by the Imperial Court, even if there were droughts and floods, there would not be no harvest. When the new year arrived, everyone made arrangements to head to the market to exchange for New Year goods.
It was the same in the Qiannan area. On New Year's Eve, the citizens of the towns under Ju Prefecture carried their goods and swarmed into Ju Prefecture City to exchange for New Year's goods.
