Jinmen

It was already the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and with the New Year approaching, the streets were decorated with colorful lanterns, festooned with a touch of holiday spirit; the faces of passersby were also filled with joy.

Not only did the wealthy clients in their brocade furs show a rosy glow on their faces, but even the poor, clad in patched clothes, seemed to have a bit more pep in their step.

The New Dynasty had just been established, bringing with it a fresh start. Not only had it eliminated various harsh taxes and forced labor but it also cracked down hard on underworld gangs, especially martial artists who used their strength to bully the people.

With social order stable and the hearts of the people at ease, civilian life had recovered quite well, visibly flourishing in the marketplace.

Add to that the fact that the Great Yi Dynasty was waging war against Izumo, with the war machine in full operation providing numerous livelihoods, the common folk's daily life could be considered quite prosperous.

With the New Year in plain sight, Jinmen Port remained busy, with icebreakers occasionally carving through the iced over channels, allowing cargo ships to dock.

These were fleets from the Overseas Enfeoffment, seizing the opportunity to make one last profit before the year's end.

Among them were ships from Izumo, returning with a large quantity of extremely high-quality copper and silver.

People marveled, noting that this nation, once a member of the great powers, now had nearly half its territory lost.
