The trip to Fuguang Town was about 40 kilometers in total.
Although the journey wasn't far, half of it was mountain roads, which was why it took nearly two hours to drive there.
Fuguang Town was located to the southwest of Changming County, bordering the most remote Gulin Townships—it was a place far from the emperor's reach.
Despite its remoteness,
Fuguang Town's economy was not considered backward.
Because it was situated in a mountainous area, the town had two main industries.
One was tea, and the other was bamboo products.
Especially the bamboo products, which were famous far and near, even attracting some foreign merchants to place orders.
The former mayor of Fuguang Town was named Yuan Zhenting.
He had been on the mayor's post for twenty years.
A while back, when he reached retirement age, he officially went through the retirement procedures.
The position had been vacant for almost a month.
Which just so happened to give Chen Fang a chance to step in.
