Lingzhou was a thriving hub of commerce. Because of this, the city saw a massive flow of people every day, utilizing its four city gates—north, south, east, and west—to manage the constant movement of those entering and leaving.
Within the city, the Hu Family stood at the helm of the Lingzhou Chamber of Commerce. Their caravans traveled back and forth to various regions daily, generating immense wealth. Consequently, Lingzhou was, in some respects, even more prosperous than Shengjing.
The Pei Family, to which Pei Yingyue belonged, was also one of the four great clans of Lingzhou, though for many years, they had remained secondary to the Hu Family.
