Chiyang Prefecture is located in the southern part of Qi Country, where the mineral resources are abundant, and many of the locals engage in the iron casting industry, keeping the furnaces burning all year round.
From high above, the Qi Boundary appears a patch of reddish land.
Thus, it is called Chi Yang.
A common saying goes, "The armors and weapons of Qi Country are in Chi Yang, and the soldiers of Chi Yang are in Nan Yao."
Nanyao City is where the Lian family has been operating for many years.
It's not the administrative center of the prefecture, yet it surpasses it in importance.
Many who mention Chiyang Prefecture can only think of Nanyao City and not even remember which city is the prefectural seat.
The City Lord of Nanyao City is never an external appointee but must bear the surname Lian, which shows the Lian family's status in Nanyao City and even the entire Chiyang Prefecture.
