The Beginning of Everything

Jiang Ming walked into Peace County. The streets were much livelier than three years ago. There were all kinds of shops, from cafes to clothing stores. There were also many street vendors.

After the war, the country of Yan gradually became more prosperous than before, as if an illness had been cured. The emperor reduced taxes and built granaries to provide relief to the people. Even the villagers in Peace County had a much better life.

Jiang Ming sighed and walked to the bar. He went straight to the second floor and asked for a bright place by the window. He ordered some food and wine and began to eat and drink.

Now that Old Jiang had completely retired and was a hands-off shopkeeper, Ah Fei had somehow saved up some money and ordered people to renovate the bar. Now, the business was booming, and the atmosphere was new.
