Zhao Yao no longer paid attention to the rivalry between Prince Chu and Prince Wei, fearing that if he kept watching, he might be tempted to intervene. He buried himself in his own work, conducting research experiments, earning money through foreign trade, and engaging in infrastructure development.
Over the past year or two, the Swamp Prefecture underwent earth-shaking changes, becoming even more prosperous and lively than before, with more and more people coming to do business and settle there. Naturally, it also attracted many foreigners.
Now, the prosperity of Swamp Prefecture has long surpassed that of the capital and even exceeded Yangzhou, becoming the richest and busiest port prefecture in Great Zhou.
Zhao Yao originally thought it would take five years to surpass the capital and ten years to exceed Yangzhou, but unexpectedly, it took less than five years to surpass all prefectures.
