"Liushui City, is it the capital of Nanfeng Country?" Shen Qinglan was surprised.
Apart from the many merchants, there are hardly any people walking around. How can the capital of a nation be so desolate?
"No," Duan Yunfei nodded, "However, Liushui City is near a port, suitable for business exchanges, and is adjacent to the Capital of Nanfeng Country. People call it the second capital of Nanfeng Country."
Shen Qinglan frowned, "Even near the capital it's so deserted; wouldn't the other prefectures and towns be even more barren?"
"Not so," Du Bingxue said, "Liushui City is deserted, but other prefectures and towns are bustling with people."
"Why is this?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled.
Fu Junyan said, "Because in Liushui City, besides foreign merchants, only members of the royal family and nobility can live here. Ordinary citizens of this country are not allowed to stay in Liushui City for long."
