It lasted for seven years. It took more than 70,000 taels of silver to build this village,1100,000 taels of time. Because Li, Wang and Yan are the three richest families who manage the salt industry, they only want their families to prosper and their children to multiply, so they are named "Sanduozhai"; It is also said that the village name means "happiness, wealth and longevity".
