Chapter 513 - 513 513 Water System Connection

513: Chapter 513: Water System Connection 513: Chapter 513: Water System Connection With the commencement of planting and the rapid burst of major construction, the changes in Xuanwu Territory were visibly apparent.

Those who had recently arrived, initially filled with unease, had gradually stabilized.

Most crucially, they realized that as long as they kept cultivating their lands, they could not be displaced; it was as if they owned the land.

Moreover, their houses would belong to them after five years.

“No permanent property, no permanent will”—this saying makes sense on many occasions.

Having their own assets, these people would, of course, always steadfastly stand by their side, no longer easily abandoning their homes behind.

After a period, these people would completely transform into his subjects, and generation after generation would remain in this place.

Once the mentality of these people changed, their attitudes also shifted.

In order to protect themselves and their homes, they no longer felt that all refugees were their own people.

The refugees who had fled here were first handled by these people, who isolated and inspected them.

This aspect didn’t require the Lord’s intervention, so it basically didn’t cause any resentment among the refugees.

If someone among the refugees deliberately caused trouble, they would be reported immediately.

For this purpose, Zhao Guang had organized office locations in all major congregations, directly bringing the administrative department to the grassroots level.

It must be said that this management model, tested by time, truly had a very good effect.

Letting them govern themselves not only effectively divided these people to prevent them from banding together and causing trouble but also lightened his own burden, requiring only his slight attention.

Those who passed the isolation and inspection gradually integrated into the villages over time.

The surplus of people would establish new villages elsewhere, continuing to assimilate more newcomers.

These people all originated from different places; their contradictions and distrust ensured that they couldn’t be easily organized to create disturbances.

Even if there were some intent on causing harm, they wouldn’t be able under these circumstances.

The spies could only watch helplessly as these refugees were quickly assimilated.

Combined with some civilians who had emerged from slavery by meritorious deeds, arriving directly as managers of these villages.

Mixing these together, the situation became completely different.

However, once everything had stably settled down, another period had passed.

During this time, through his work and cultivation, Zhao Guang felt his own strength had also significantly improved.

But next, another matter interrupted Zhao Guang’s cultivation and research.

Because a new major project, was finally completed.

“That is the interconnection of the water systems within the territory, preparing living territory for the Lizardmen.

The channels have essentially been cleared, now it just lacks the introduction of water.

As soon as the gap in the Luin River is opened, water will flow into them.”

This project was personally ordered by Zhao Guang, so he also had to supervise it on site.

“Are those bridges and other facilities all ready, and make sure again no one is in the area through which the water will flow,” he said.

“As you command, Lord,” the Lizardmen promptly ran out, about to have their new dwellings at once.

For them, the Lord had specifically introduced large amounts of water.

You should know what kind of farmland could be cultivated without these waters; the Lizardmen were filled with gratitude.

Of course, what they didn’t know was how much the water sources would benefit the irrigation of the surrounding lands.

Lizardmen didn’t farm, and regarding these matters, they only understood the surface.

Soon, the final inspection was completed, confirming there were no issues whatsoever.

“Open the gap, introduce the water source,” Zhao Guang nodded and issued the order.

The excited Lizardmen immediately rushed up, using various tools to open the gap.

In the next instant, the water surged in, and the Luin River seemed to change subtly due to the substantial loss of water.

However, Zhao Guang was not worried, as this process would only need to continue for a while.

According to calculations, it would take at most two months to fill these areas with river water.

On the other side, it would connect to small rivers in the south of other territories, and the outflow wouldn’t be too large, having no significant impact on the Luin River.

But what was most crucial was that the interconnected waterways would also add a shipping route within his own territory.

Having Lizardmen living below was a form of protection for this route.

Lizardmen could move freely underwater, but they actually lived near the water, being amphibians after all.

However, those ships, which moved in the middle of the water, didn’t significantly affect each other.

Mixing these together, the benefits were very substantial.

Moreover, these places would also be used for fish farming in the future.

Zhao Guang would have the Lizardmen research fish farming issues; later on, the fish in these lakes would then become the income of the Lizardmen.

In human society, being incomeless at times makes it difficult to integrate.

Thinking of the future, Zhao Guang quickly calculated some issues in his mind.

“Very well, besides the people on both banks having some difficulty moving about, other issues are not significant.

Too bad, the subjects are still not wealthy enough, otherwise starting a tourism industry could earn a fortune,” he thought.

Zhao Guang was somewhat helpless; many things required a foundation, and without a solid foundation, they couldn’t be utilized.

At that moment, Edos approached and laid down in front of Zhao Guang.

“Thank you, Lord, for your benevolence.

Without you, we might have been homeless by now,” he said.

Zhao Guang gestured with his hand: “Please stand, this is what a Lord should do; I can’t let any subjects live poorly.

As long as you adhere to the territory’s rules, you don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Edos got up, then nodded towards someone nearby.

That person hurriedly passed a box to Edos, Zhao Guang noticing this person seemed to have something important.

Edos held the box high, cautiously saying, “Lord, this is a special plant we previously discovered in the Plague Swamp, hoping it can bring some benefits to the territory.”

A plant?

What is this about; indeed, he was very fond of researching various crops.

Unexpectedly, these Lizardmen would prepare such a gift, but what plant warranted such precaution?

“What is this?” Zhao Guang directly asked.

“This is a Blood-sucking Vine, but it’s a mutated form of Blood-sucking Vine, which we discovered by accident.

This vine can absorb a large amount of blood, and also condense these bloods to breed Blood Essence,” replied Edos cautiously.

“I once accidentally consumed Blood Essence, and my Combat Energy increased significantly; it was with this that I was able to reach the level of an Advanced Warrior,” Edos explained carefully.
