Chapter 802: The Changes in Jiangsai
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As they rushed, they eliminated the bandits along the way and helped the local people uphold justice a few times. At the same time, they defeated a group of corrupt officials. Ah Yu and the others arrived at Jiangsai on the 23rd of December.
From afar, Ah Yu saw a row of ant-sized buildings standing on the desert like scattered blocks.
As she approached in the carriage, the buildings became clearer and clearer. They were some residences and military tents.
Before Ah Yu could step forward, a group of cavalry rode over on horses and interrogated the person in front. When they found out that the person sitting in the carriage was Village Lord Yu, the cavalry hurriedly dismounted.
He bowed towards the carriage from afar. “Greetings, Village Lord Yu!”
Ah Yu stuck her head out of the carriage and waved at them. “There’s no need to bow. Get up quickly.”
Someone gestured behind them. Ah Yu felt two auras leave.
Those people retreated to the sides and didn’t get on their horses. Instead, they watched as they headed towards Jiangsai City.
Ah Yu asked in her heart, “Elf, this was the same path when we came, right?” At that time, there didn’t seem to be any of this.
Meatball had long monitored the situation here, so it explained to Ah Yu.
[They’ve all been built in the past two months. Those residences are the homes of commoners from outside. Jiangsai doesn’t take in everyone now. They have to be inspected.]
[As for these patrolling cavaliers, they were all sent by the Protectorate General’s Residence. Their main purpose is to maintain the security of this area and supervise the outsiders and those transitioning guests.]
Ah Yu understood. Presumably, the order in Jiangsai City had already been tidied up and improved. The role of the Protectorate General’s Residence was completely established.
When they arrived at Jiangsai City, Ah Yu realized that the changes in the city were really beyond her imagination.
The city gate was under construction. Half of it was still as tall as before. There were traces of peeling on the yellow mud walls, and the other half had already been changed. With the brick structure and the observation pavilion made of ancient heavy wood unique to Jiangsai, it looked very similar to a border city.
The Jiangsai City Governor had already joined hands with the officials to welcome her at the city gate.
Logically speaking, the rank of the Governor was higher than Ah Yu, but he didn’t dare to be negligent.
Logically speaking, he respected Ah Yu.
Thanks to her, he was the first Governor of Jiangsai to not die in office!
The Ministry of Personnel’s inspection every three years meant that he would definitely be promoted. Although there were still many problems with Jiangsai, compared to before Village Lord Yu came here, there was a huge difference.
Not to mention degrading himself to welcome her, he was even willing to raise Ah Yu above his head!
Before he came to take office, he was already prepared to die. He had also come to improve the situation here in high spirits, but the forces here were complicated beyond his imagination. If not for those people taking into account that he was an official of the Imperial Court, he would probably have lost his life at the beginning of his term.
Now that he looked back on the past events, he realized that how could those people be afraid of his identity as a Governor? They clearly treated him as a clown and watched his various reactions to tease him.
As City Lord Wan led the crowd to join, various factions appeared one after another, including Divine Doctor Xue’s brother, who was hidden very deeply, and the few tribes in Shui Miao. They all expressed their willingness to support Jiangsai’s reform and construction.
Not only that, but even the neighboring West Wind Nation had sent people to express their goodwill and was willing to provide any help for free. If they were worried, the West Wind Nation was willing to take the initiative to concede the jurisdiction of a portion of the ownerless land and leave it as a peaceful development area between the two countries.
What else could the commander-in-chief say? Of course he was glad to see it!
No matter how these changes came about, there would be his part in the credit.
Ah Yu didn’t know this and only felt that the Governor was too enthusiastic.
She was used to this and didn’t feel that anything was wrong.
After entering Jiangsai City, Ah Yu didn’t return to the Protectorate General’s Residence directly. Instead, she asked everyone to go back first while she rode Little Lamb to the city to take a look.
What Ah Yu cared about the most was the rivers she had tried to cleanse. After fishing out the things below, Wang Wulang quietly poured the cleansing water into the water according to Ah Yu’s instructions before she left.
This was not a change that could be seen in a day or two. Now that a few months had passed, the water quality of the few main waterways in the city had clearly improved. The stench that soared into the sky was gone.
Although a rare sight, there were naughty children jumping into the water to play and laugh even in winter. It was very lively.
Some of the adults were fishing, some were washing clothes and vegetables, and some were riding boats to sell various items. It was like a harmonious city.
Seeing those people washing the vegetables, All Yu felt that they looked familiar. She asked a woman who greeted her, “Auntie, where did these vegetables come from?”
The woman couldn’t have seen Ah Yu before, but she had seen Little Lamb before. She immediately guessed All Yu’s identity, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she replied, “They were all reclaimed by us. The vegetable seeds collected outside the Protectorate General’s Residence grew lushly in two to three months. The various vegetable seeds produced by the Protectorate General’s Residence aren’t easy to grow. Lord Zhong Tian will even come and teach us how to plant them. Now, almost every family is planting vegetables. They’re living a good life!”
Most of the people in Jiangsai City were very poor, but they did not lack meat. There were also many animals in the desert. Although most of them had little meat, it was not impossible to catch them. At the very least, they could be bought. Only vegetables were precious. Most of the vegetables planted here were not expected to survive. Vegetables were luxury goods that were much more precious than meat, so they were naturally grateful.
When Ah Yu heard her mention Lord Zhong Tian, she thought of the unlucky system and the current Zhong Tian who had stayed here. Hence, she asked for the way and headed towards him.
After circling around the two rivers of Jiangsai, Ah Yu shockingly saw a large golden field—it was actually a mature rice field. At a glance, there was almost no end to it!
What had happened?
She had only been gone for a few months, but the rice had already grown so much, and it had even ripened in winter!
[If not for the fact that he was afraid of attracting too much attention, he would probably have taught the people here how to grow mature rice in half a month.]
It was not that he couldn’t do it, but there was no need. If it was too shocking, it would harm Ah Yu.
Moreover, people could be supported, but they couldn’t be carried away. Otherwise, they would not be able to adapt to living alone.
Ah Yu nodded in understanding. She didn’t want Jiangsai City to be too heaven-defying either. It was enough as long as it was a decent border city.
If the border cities were too prosperous, it would attract the covetous eyes of the surrounding countries and factions. Who could say what kind of disastrous things would happen? She would probably become a sinner for thousands of years.
This is very good now. Everyone had clean water to drink. They could plant vegetables, hunt, and slowly farm in the future.
If they had the heart to plant trees and forests themselves, Jiangsai would be much better in at most ten years.
[It’s very difficult to plant trees and forests in the desert. It’s better to keep the original characteristics. They’ll get used to it instead.]
Ah Yu didn’t comment. She’s someone who would leave eventually. She would leave the future of this place to the future generations.
She had done enough. She had to give others a chance to perform.
On the other side, when Wang Wulang, who was on the battlefield, heard that Ah Yu had returned, he immediately changed his plan to attack.
After a few months of tempering, he had become a threatening little general. The team he led was brave and good at fighting and had made many contributions.
Soon, they won a beautiful battle.
Wang Wulang raised his spear.. “Let’s go back to the city!”
