River Sea, Chaoping County, Governor's Office.
The north wind howled for days, with a cold and biting drizzle. In the main hall, only Wu Changlin remained by the stove, savoring fragrant tea, enjoying life to the fullest.
Being the eldest legitimate son of the Jiangdong Wu Family and the Emperor of Da Wei's brother-in-law, he held this lucrative position in River Sea. Just this port in Chaoping County alone brought in a fortune daily, providing huge revenue for the Maritime Trade Bureau. Across the land, people sought to curry favor with him, and with the Emperor's intention, he also held local military power.
In River Sea, he was almost like a local emperor.
Wu Changlin's mood was indescribably carefree.
A cold gust blew through, and the hurried footsteps from outside suggested they were chilled to the bone.
