章 180: Chapter 105: Alliance, Villages and Nobility Privileges - Part 2

The remaining time was the agrarian downtime, during which they produced stone tools, wove cotton fabric, ground cornmeal, collected wood, and repaired homes and warehouses. Additionally, they excavated river mud for the Lord, constructed water channels and buildings for the Alliance, and during wartime, they were responsible for food transportation and served as battlefield militia.
