Last year, when Liang Qu managed water affairs in Huazhu County, he heard the Upper Envoy mention that Huaiyin Prefecture was poised for a change before the summer harvest; he just never expected that day to come so swiftly!
He feared that as he was making his way to Xiangyi County, envoys were similarly en route.
It was a pity he could not witness the historic moment in Zhenbian Prefecture with his own eyes.

Within Pingyang County, multiple major trade associations had already sprung up, numerous tall buildings stood in rows surrounding the city, and countless were engaged in construction and earthworks.
Many residential compounds were even more extravagant than Teacher Yang's, with layered walls starting from three levels high; these likely belonged to the numerous families that had come from Huaiyin Prefecture.
Luckily, he had purchased quite a bit of land in advance.
