After being reincarnated as the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Zhao Yao was not favored much. In order to survive the bloody power struggle for the throne, he had to bide his time. Finally, he grew up and was granted a title of nobility, only to be exiled to the distant region of Lingnan by his dear father.

It was said that Lingnan was incredibly poor, but Zhao Yao was not afraid. He focused on infrastructure and production. Under Zhao Yao's management, Lingnan transformed from a place of exile into a prosperous land.

Just when Zhao Yao was happily living his carefree life in Lingnan, the ministers traveled a thousand miles to beg him to ascend the throne.

Zhao Yao was baffled. Had these ministers lost their minds?

"Your Highness, I'm not here to complain, but we're simply too busy." After the trade conference, the Ministry of Industry has been preoccupied with building schools, residential houses, libraries, commercial districts, repairing roads, and so on. Now, they're also busy constructing various water mills and setting up different shops along both banks of the Lingnan River—they are truly overwhelmed. "Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry was already short-handed, and now you want to establish commercial districts on both sides of the Lingnan River, it's... really too much for us to handle." The commercial district within Swamp Prefecture City is not yet completed, and now Your Highness wants to build a commerce city on both sides of the Lingnan River—it's truly... exhausting them.
