So it's a matter of having really good farmland but terrible suitable land for housing?

Possibly not "unsuitable" but they preferred being closer to running water but not too close as a convenience. And/or a trade/fishing thing, I know the Yellow and the Yangtze are both huge sources of food and trade, not sure about Wangxian

Sort of a "this is going to be annoying to build in the moment but will be beneficial in the long term" sort of thing.
