He came up and threw a heavy pound.
The northernmost junction of the two counties is Zhengjiayu, and the uninhabited Zhengjiayu occupies seven miles on each side.
H County is willing to transfer the entire Zhengjiayu to D County in exchange for the two miles of barren slopes on Xiaoyun Mountain.
"Zhang County is really generous," County Magistrate Huang said with a sincere smile during the negotiation. "Zhengjiayu is one of the few places in H County with trees. Are you willing to give it away?"
