Chapter 140 Linchuan Prefecture

Linchuan Prefecture, located at the border between Daqian and Northern Zhou, is a city known for its unique geographical position and commerce, built beside water.

Linchuan Prefecture was established next to the only river that runs directly from the inland to the sea—the Luoshui River. Due to this river, water transportation in Linchuan Prefecture was extremely well-developed.

Linchuan Prefecture also had a unique feature, as it was located at the border between Daqian and Northern Zhou, becoming the essential route for commercial exchanges between the two countries. The surrounding geography was not suitable for stationing troops, and without military deterrence, commerce in the city thrived even more.

Though no military forces suppressed it, Linchuan Prefecture was no Yang City; essential government institutions such as the government office and the Six Gates were indispensable.
