How Big Was The Empire

"The empire is divided into nine regions, and each region has nine prefectures, each prefecture has nine counties, each county has and nine towns. For example, there are 729 towns in Qingze Prefecture in the entire empire.

Of course, although our Qingze Prefecture is not in the hinterland of the central plains, thousands of miles away from Shengjing Prefecture, it is still relatively prosperous. It is not a remote place. Due to it being close to the waterways and a stronghold for land and water transportation, in terms of prosperity, it can rank among the top 20 prefectures in the whole of the empire. As for how big the entire empire, that would be approximately billions square kilometers." 

When hearing this, Yan Qixun almost exclaimed out of shock. The current so-called measurement system was equivalent to 300 steps per kilometer. If it were in the city of her era, it would be about 83 percent of a city.
