Xinping Town.
Compared to the original Ping'an Town, Xinping Town was geographically closer to the eastern sea.
Its land area was also vast, at four to five times the size of Ping'an Town. Within its boundaries, there were mountains and hills, as well as lakes and rivers, including the largest lake within Wang's Jurisdiction—Deep Taihu Lake—all within the range of Xinping Town.
The Wang family placed great importance on water conservation projects. From the inception of developing Xinping Town, the overall design and planning had been completed.
According to the original plan, the intricate network of canals and lakes was interconnected. Wherever excavation was needed, it was done; wherever river embankments needed reinforcement, they were reinforced. Furthermore, there were numerous watergates, altogether creating an extensive network of water routes.
But don't underestimate this network of water routes.
