Caiqiu Calendar year 297, January 25, daytime
The Nine Towns of the South Slope are essentially transparent to the Four Vassals along the Moao River, especially in front of the Caiqiu and Chencang Feudal Towns.
Moreover, the Northern Three Towns' high-level officials maintain close ties with the two feudal towns.
These aspects, Xia Hong was aware of even before he arrived.
However, what he thought was evidently a bit simplistic.
During his time in Evergreen Valley, he discovered that the yearly calendar used by Caiqiu and the Nine Towns, apart from the year being different, was completely synchronized in dates.
The Moao Calendar was initially used in the Northern Three Towns and later adopted by the other six towns following trade integration.
