Xingyuan Prefecture was the capital of the entire Lizhou Circuit. It controlled 17 prefectures, such as Xingzhou Prefecture. Therefore, although it was located in the bitterly cold north, this large city was also extremely prosperous.
The city wall was tall, and the city gate was about 50 meters long. There was a 30-meter gap in the middle for carriages and people to enter and exit.

Mu Yangling was asking the landlord about the situation in Xingyuan Prefecture and the taxes levied on goods in order to bring them into the city.
The landlord took a look at their sheep. Mu Yangling cleverly stuffed ten copper coins into his hand. Smiling, the landlord said, “Miss, the Governor of Xingyuan Prefecture is kind-hearted.
