夫吳自闔廬、春申、王濞三人招致天下之喜游子弟，東有海鹽之饒，章山之銅，三江、五湖之利，亦江東一都會也。 Ever since Helü, Lord Chunshen, and King Bi attracted ambitious young men from across the realm, Wu has enjoyed the riches of seaside salt to the east, the copper of Mount Zhang, and the profits of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes. It, too, is a great commercial hub east of the Yangtze.
