Within the boundaries of Southern Yue, Jinfu County.
This is a remote county town encircled by mountains on three sides, with a population of less than one hundred thousand. Hindered by poor transportation and scarce resources, the livelihood of the inhabitants only depended on lotus cultivation, paddy farming, and some mountain goods. With close contacts between the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty and the Western Countries, and the blending of information, the local magistrate of this county had originally planned to introduce machinery and build a factory to rejuvenate the region. He had even settled trade deals with those fair-haired, blue-eyed barbarians.
Tragically, as Southern Yue descended into an era of "Great Demon Chaos", all of these plans had become nothing but a pipe dream.
