Longxing Prefecture!
The absolute center of the Southern Five Provinces, home to the Ruyang Royal Mansion.
It is also currently the most bustling place in the south, its prosperity not falling below that of Suzhou and Hangzhou, far surpassing the Huangzhou Prefecture where Chen Jie resides.
Of course, prosperity comes at a price, and the price is that this one prefecture absorbs over twenty percent of the tax burden from the Five Southern Provinces, essentially meaning that the Southern Five Provinces are supporting the entire Longxing Prefecture.
Chen Jie and his party arrived at the Longxing Prefecture City in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived at Longxing Prefecture City, Chen Jie was shocked by the tall city walls in front of him, which were over a dozen zhang high, with soldiers patrolling everywhere.
Inside the city, merchants and dignitaries were coming and going incessantly.
"They've come, they've come."
Someone shouted.
