Panlong Wasteland has not held such a grand celebration for a long, long time.
Now that water bandits have become history, Yuheng City has begun to dismantle and clean up the water villages in the Longchuan area, making the water surface clear and smooth.
As long as the monsters in the waters who once helped Xiqian's puppet army surrendered voluntarily, Yuheng City would be forgiven.
Because of decades of fragmented self-government, Takigawa people are still resistant to the government, and this will take time to get used to.
In view of the vast area of Longchuan and the sparse population, Yuheng City exempted and exempted rents here, and moved civilians twice into the Longchuan swamp to reclaim wasteland and open up fields. On the one hand, it produced grain and increased income. On the other hand, it also promoted internal and external integration and broke the stubborn isolation of Longchuan villages and towns.
environment.
At the same time, Yuheng Academy also opened a school in Longchuan to teach and educate the people.
The water and soil environment of the entire Maohe Plain is many times better than that of the barren Panlong Wasteland. Yuheng City also built canals and embankments to divert the water from the Long River to the plain, improving hydrology and irrigating farmland.
This was unthinkable before, but now it has slowly become a reality.
The Panlong Wasteland has weak soil, with the exception of the Chipa Plateau, but its products are only enough to support a Panlong City. Other cities in the wasteland have been underdeveloped due to restrictions on water sources and food.
Panlongcheng usually finds it difficult to lift them, but it has to be done.
Baling and Xianyou have been invading the Panlong Wasteland for many years, attacking each city in turn, using blunt knives to cut the flesh, consuming the power of Panlong City.
But with the Maohe Plain, the situation has changed.
This fertile land is likely to become the main artery of Panlong City, continuously supplying it with food, talents, and soldiers, and obtaining external materials and help through the Southern Freeport.
Not to mention anything else, after the Longchuan trade road became smooth and peaceful, the price of food in Panlong City quickly dropped by one-third. Goods from the north to the south were abundant, and both supply and demand were booming.
The original intention of Zhong Shengguang and General Red to capture the Xi Fang Kingdom was finally coming true.
Originally, Jin Yingguo assisted Fu Shanlie and kept lying that it was bandits and refugees who crossed the border on their own. But this time, Cai Qiyong caught a general of Jin Yingguo, which was considered a lie.
Before the spring floods, Yuheng City sent troops eastward across the border of Jinxing. Jinxing hurriedly sent troops to fight, but was defeated twice.
Seeing the Yuheng army marching forward with great success, everyone in Jinying's court finally panicked. Bejia's thirst could not be quenched by water from afar, and Xiluo was busy with civil strife and could not control them. Jinying had no choice but to send an envoy to Panlong City to ask for peace.
The original intention of Panlong City was also to teach the small country that was ungrateful a lesson. Since it had received such a large sum of compensation, it should just take advantage of the situation and accept it as soon as possible.
Zhong Shengguang had his own reasons for not taking the gold.
When the Takigawa water bandits became a thing of the past, Bejia's hand reaching out to the Maohe plain had been cut off, and Jin Ying had been beaten by Yuhengcheng and became honest, and would not dare to cause trouble again in the short term.
All internal and external troubles have been eliminated, and the entire Maohe Plain has entered a period of peace. With a much superior geographical environment than the Panlong Wasteland, this fertile plain can finally develop and engage in economy.
Feedback comes quickly.
In summer and autumn, the grain harvest in Maohe Plain is abundant.
On both sides of the Takigawa Commercial Road, you can often see golden fields, scattered small lakes and ponds, and groups of teal ducks that often number in the thousands.
In the next year, the world actually ushered in seven emperor oozes!
Another big news in the Mohe Plain is that the Takigawa Commercial Road Guards, nicknamed "Road Controllers" by businessmen, were suddenly exposed to major corruption scandals.
A large number of senior road management officials, including Tao Lin, were reported internally for embezzling road funds and harming the public and private interests. Yuheng City verified that they were correct and dismissed them for investigation, and sent some Yuheng officials to take up their new posts.
Tao Lin tried to incite his former subordinates to rebel with him, but very few responded. Yuheng City captured him without any effort!
He just woke up from a dream and shouted in the direction of Panlong Wasteland, "Hey kid, you are killing the donkey", but it was a pity that it was too late.
He is no longer the water bandit leader he once was, he is just a rural official collecting road tax.
His men are no longer thieves who kill people and steal wealth, but are low-level officials who wear badges and are responsible for customs clearance.
Everyone has his own place, everyone has his own livelihood.
Everyone has his own superior.
Just as He Lingchuan said back then, all of them will finally understand that their immediate boss is no longer the leader of the water bandits, but Yuheng City!
Their salary comes from Yuheng City.
Their livelihood comes from Yuheng City.
They have become part of this huge system and can no longer leave.

The harvest season has finally come to an end in the busyness of Yangshan Islands.
He Lingchuan, who had just taken over the archipelago, and his men were in a hurry, and finally managed to finish the palm harvest season.
Thanks to the Shipping Department of Blade Port City and Bailie Qucheng, they not only stopped making things difficult, but opened the door to convenience, and the products of Yangshan Islands opened up the market before winter came.
Not only did the oil sell well, but the special supply of burrowing spiders from Pansi Island also became a hot commodity. The merchants who arrived late were a little disappointed because they failed to get fluorescent spores and aphids.
Fang Canran was true to his word, and not only introduced three large chambers of commerce in Mou to the Yangshan Islands, but also compradors and representatives from many surrounding forces.
At its most intensive, He Lingchuan could have five meetings a day, from morning to night.
On the day of the winter solstice, He Lingchuan was eating glutinous rice balls, and Ding Zuodong came to report again.
Palm oil sales in the Yangshan Islands far exceeded everyone's expectations, and more than 80% of the inventory was sold out.
After deducting miscellaneous expenses such as labor, equipment, freight, packaging, distribution, entertainment management, etc., there is still a balance of twenty-three thousand taels of silver.
The most expensive of these is labor.
Of course, these costs do not include the money to buy the island.
The mirror couldn't help but complain: "Only twenty-three thousand?"
Thousands of people were busy, working non-stop for two months, and the profit was only 23,000?
"How about we go back and kill people and set fire to them!" Money comes quickly from a business without capital.
But He Lingchuan and Ding Zuodong were actually quite satisfied.
Ding Zuodong was full of joy: "The future is promising!"
"This money is considered extra money. I was busy from beginning to end like chasing ducks to put it on the shelves. If I can make a profit, it will be great." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I used money to buy experience, but I didn't lose money. It's beyond expectations!"
Although he served as the commander-in-chief of Yuheng City in Panlong World, he was in charge of military affairs and the internal affairs were basically handled by Wen Daolun. He had no experience in running a business from scratch.
Yangshan Islands was his first show, and for being able to do this, he gave himself an eight-point rating, no less.
Who can open a business without first losing money for three months?
What's more, Yangshan Islands has only initially developed a dozen islands. Due to lack of manpower and the rush for farming, the initial products are monotonous and extensive. The tourist business on Sodin Island has only just started. It stands to reason that the output is not directly proportional to the input.
