Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 19

Gusu Prefecture has 23 wards and 16 streets, crisscrossing each other. More than 100,000 households live in the 23 wards, and most of these wards are built along the moat. There are more than 300 winding rivers in the wards, which is a genuine Jiangnan water town. Most of the 16 streets are at the junction of the wards.

The restrictions on alleys and streets in the Song Dynasty were not as strict as those in previous dynasties. Stalls could be set up in alleys, but one had to obtain special approval from the government and pay more taxes.

If Adrian Tang wanted to get the approval from the government, he only needed to go to his teacher and cry a few words, and he didn't even need to wait in line. As for the extra taxes, Lin the accountant was so anxious that his head became bald, but he still couldn't persuade Adrian Tang to come back.

"Young Master, this is going to be a complete loss!"

"No rush, take your time."
