good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was close to waterways, accessible in all directions, and the center of various prefectures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Tongfu Inn was really too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It severely limited the number of people who could listen to his storytelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this number of listeners was directly linked to his popularity
