Changning Guard, Ping'an Town, Dingpu Ferry.
The cement-hardened ferry road appears particularly clean after the spring rain.
All the port buildings have gradually been replaced by cement brick and tile structures. The rows of buildings are neatly arranged, as if in a modern Earth port town.
After numerous expansions and renovations, Dingpu Ferry is more of an inland port than a "ferry" by now.
Ships dock at the ferry, transporting various mid-to-high-end living goods needed by the Wang Family, such as salt, rough iron, refined copper, porcelain, cooking oil, and some special materials.
Now, the small Ping'an Town has a permanent population of 110,000, with a transient population of no less than 20,000. The development level of the land and population density are very high.
Furthermore, people in Ping'an Town are quite wealthy, with a high spending power. This also attracts frequent visits from various sizes of trading companies and traveling merchants.
