Nanyang, known as Wan in ancient times, is located in the southwest of Henan Province, the junction of Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi provinces, and is named because it is located in the south of Funiu Mountain and north of Hanshui.

Huiji County (δΌ, kuΓ i), an ancient Chinese county name, is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In 222 BC, a county was established (Qin Dynasty). The county is governed in Wu County (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu), and has jurisdiction over the hometown of Wu and Yue south of the Yangtze River in the Spring and Autumn Period.
At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was successively the territory of Han Xin, the king of Chu, Liu Jia, the king of Jing, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu. After the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, it was relocated, also known as Wu County. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Huiji County was roughly equivalent to the southern part of present-day Jiangsu, the western part of Shanghai, most of Zhejiang and part of Fujian, and it was one of the most extensive counties at that time. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the counties north of Zhejiang Province were placed in Wu County. I love Chinese.com
The Huiji County Administration Office was moved to Shanyin County (now Shaoxing District, Zhejiang) and led 15 counties.
The Three Kingdoms Wushi Branch Hui Ji County was located in Linhai County (now southeast of Zhejiang), Jian'an County (now Fujian), and Dongyang County (now Jinhua and Quzhou in Zhejiang). From the Western Jin Dynasty to the end of the Southern Dynasties, Huiji County only governed the area of Shaoxing and Ningbo.
After Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Chen, he abolished Huiji County and placed Wuzhou. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed Wuzhou to Yuezhou, and later changed it to Huiji County.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Yuezhou was replaced, Tang Xuanzong changed Yuezhou to Huiji County, Tang Suzong was reverted to Yuezhou, and Huiji County ceased to exist, and then it was used as another name for Yuezhou and Shaoxing.
Huiji County is named after Huiji Mountain. Legend has it that Xia Yu has the name of Huiji Mountain, which means accounting.

"Yue Jue Shu Foreign Biography Biography" wrote: "Yu Shiye, worried about the people and saved the water, went to Dayue, went to Maoshan Mountain, the big accountant, the lord is virtuous, the seal is meritorious, and the name is changed to Maoshan Huiji." Wang Chong, the auditor, quoted Wu Jungao's words in "On Heng and the Book of Fiction": "The name of the mountain is the name of the mountain. Xia Yu patrols hunting, accounting in this mountain, because of the name of the county, so it is said to be a meeting. β

As for the word Wuling, it originates from the name of the Wuling Mountains on the border of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou. Most of the indigenous people in the area are Miao and Tujia, and live in dislocation with a small number of Han people, and in ancient times they were called "Wuling Man", and they often gathered to fight against harsh government.
The Western Han Dynasty was established, and in the fifth year of Gaozu (202 years ago), the Qianzhong County of Qin was changed to Wuling County, and the county was stationed in Yiling (now Huaihua City, Lipu County). In the sixth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (30 AD), after the county was captured by Wulingman, the imperial court moved the county to Suoxian (now Dingcheng District, Changde City).
In the second year of Emperor Shun Yangjia, in order to suppress the rebellion of ethnic minorities, Wuling County moved to Linyuan (now Wuling District, Changde City). Wuling County, as the name of the administrative region above the county level, has been abandoned for more than 500 years.

In this high-martial world, there is also a plague, and the destructive power is quite powerful, and it may even make the military and civilians lose their combat effectiveness in an instant......
After carefully surveying the geographical environment, climate change, and distribution of forces, Ling Hao specially wrote a plan for "Wuchuan Town's Basic Sanitation Habit and Conditions Planning" before entering the Luoyi Academy to study.
Considering the limited conditions and limited personnel, each household was given a copy, and special personnel were sent to learn how to make coarse paper, and public toilets and septic tanks were built to solve the problem of sanitary conditions for excrement.
Although toilets appeared very early in ancient times, the safety factor and sanitary conditions of toilets are far from meeting the basic requirements of later generations, and some people even fall into the toilet and drown.
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Ling Hao not to pay attention to this problem, and he quickly formulated a corresponding plan, stipulating that the toilets and the public health of Wuchuan Town must be cleaned every two hours, and the personnel engaged in the cleaning work can get double the reward.
