Jiangnan was stirred, but to be accurate, it wasn't the common folk of Jiangnan that were buzzed; after all, for the commoners, news like this wasn't as captivating as something new coming out from the academy. However, for the scholarly families that had been in Jiangnan for centuries, it was seething excitement!

It was also Chen Qing who rebuilt Jiangnan, ensuring almost everyone was well-fed and clothed, living days better than even the rich dared dream of before.
