"The Great Xia is divided into nine Great States, each Great State consists of nine Counties, each County contains nine Prefectures, and each Prefecture governs nine Counties, which further divide into nine Towns. Altogether, the Great Xia has, for example, 729 Prefectures like our Qingze Prefecture, and 6561 Counties like our Linjiang County. Of course, though Qingze Prefecture isn't located in the heartland, and is thousands of miles away from Shengjing Chaoge City, it's still quite prosperous, definitely not some remote place. Because it sits near waterways and is a hub for both land and water transport, it ranks among the top twenty Prefecture Cities in Great Xia out of hundreds; it's a major Prefecture. As for how big the entire Great Xia is, it covers hundreds of millions of square li."
Qixun almost blurted out, "Holy crap."
The "li" here is three hundred paces per li. In her time, a market li was about eighty-three percent the length of this li.
