章 147: Chapter 143 Land Buying Controversy

After the carriage left the city, Ruo Shui also made a point to stop and have a look at the notice.

There was not only the notice but also the layout of the moat, with the red lines depicting the canal that the Governor's Office planned to dig.

This moat would run from east to west, drawing water from the Xishui River to flow from the east to the west—providing a water source for the wasteland near the East City Gate and facilitating irrigation for the dry lands, wasteland, and hills to the west. It could be said that once this moat was excavated, it would transform tens of thousands of acres of wasteland into fertile fields within a few years!

Truly a deed that benefited the people.

"Xuanbao, you really made the right purchase with this land. I was worried there was no water source here, and nothing much could be grown, but to think the Imperial Court would suddenly build a moat. With the moat, it will be so convenient to draw water for irrigation," Ruo Shui said happily.
