In the capital, Zhao Yao was not paying attention to the events unfolding; he was currently preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival. Before the trade conference began, they first had to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
When Zhao Yao sent invitations to the foreign guests for the trade conference, he first invited them to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at Swamp Prefecture, allowing them to experience the festive atmosphere of Great Zhou.
The most lively event of the Dragon Boat Festival is, of course, the dragon boat race. Zhao Yao planned to hold the first dragon boat race in Swamp Prefecture, inviting both the common people and soldiers to participate. The team that wins first place could receive generous rewards. The first prize: one string of coins, one pig, one cow, and one stone of grain. The second prize: one dan of rice, one sheep, three chickens, and three ducks. The third prize: one stone of grain and one sheep.
