Development Strategy[]
Shangdang is something of an odd case. It has low fertility, yet exclusively consists of Farmlands. This leaves the commandery in a position where it can either be developed to maximize food production at a suboptimal level or earn a hybrid income. If you want Shangdang to produce food, develop Government Support, Land Development, and a Grain Storage in the commandery capital. If you want to earn a hybrid income, build an Inn, Marketplace, State and Private Workshops.
