Luting County became more prosperous than ever.
On the one hand, the imperial court exempted Luting County from most taxes and abolished the local government office. Taking advantage of its proximity to the capital, the county's location benefits were magnified, attracting merchants from all over to converging winds.
On the other hand, various martial arts sects, in order to curry favor with Yang Ge, who was sitting more and more stably on the "Middle Divine Sovereign" throne of the best under the heavens, surreptitiously sent their disciples to open martial arts schools in Luting County, to give their support to Yang Ge.
Additionally, it was widely rumored among the people that "Manifested True Monarch" Yang Erlang himself was stationed in Luting County. With the honest and simple customs of the county where lost items on the road were not picked up and without the corrupt officials' extortion… this also drew countless wealthy households to move in and settle in Luting County.
