Shan Yu came back with the tea and looked at Yu Jin with the look, ‘I have expected it.’

He served the tea for Old Master Nan before sitting beside Yu Jin.

“Taking a walk around the village is also good as long as you don’t go too fast. There are more people settling down and you can get to know them,” Shan Yu gave suggestion to Yu Jin.

He didn’t want to see Yu Jin ran with her sword again when her belly becomes bigger. In the beginning, it was fine because Yu Jin could control her body well and her body balance was still very good. There was no sign of pregnancy and her activity was not interrupted that much aside that she has to be careful.

But since last month, her belly becomes bigger and her body balance was no longer the same as before.

Shan Yu naturally couldn’t let Yu Jin ran around like before anymore.

He didn’t want anything to happen to his wife.

“Fine…” Yu Jin could only compromise. She rubbed her stomach and sincerely wished the little brat inside could be born earlier so that she could have more fun running around as she wished.

Having a baby was really annoying for Yu JIn.

But at the same time, she also anticipated to see a Xiao Shan Yu.

After all, she felt that Xiao Shan Yu should be really cute, just like how her husband is.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and then asked, “How did the village expand?”

It was rare to see a village expand as quickly as this village is. After all, there were no wars that happened recently or any natural disasters. Without anything happening, not many people were willing to move.

The time when Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City moved was a different matter altogether. It was those officials and their families moving for a better future followed by the businessmen who wanted to take advantage of this situation.

As for the people who moved to Yu Jin’s village…

It couldn’t be because of Yu Jin, right?

“Half of them are the family of the soldiers under me,” Yu Jin replied. “The people who used to be from the Mountain Tribe stayed deep in the mountain. But the others who come from other kingdoms before want to settle in cities. Some of them moved to other city before and then moved here and some others came down from the mountain.”

In fact, it was not that strange.

The people who gathered around Yu Jin were not only those who were used to live in the mountainous areas but also those who came from various kingdoms.

After all, the Mountain Tribe used to be the place for those who were kicked out, abandoned, or have other reasons to settle down.

But even after that, these people were not used to live deep in the mountain without anyone else. Or they just missed the time when they lived in normal cities.

So when Yu Jin take over this abandoned village and rebuilt it, these people came together and stayed here.

From a small group of people, the number continued to increase.

“And the other half?” Long Qian Xing asked.

“The other half is the people who are attracted to this place,” Yu Jin replied with a strange expression. “They said that they want to stay in cities near the river and moved to this city for some reasons.”

River?

Long Qian Xing looked at the river thoughtfully.

While he knew that Song Chuan was about to change Cheng City and made more projects, but he didn’t expect that it would cause more people to move here.

“Why now?” Old Master Nan was also interested when he heard this. After all, he didn’t expect that there would be sudden surge of population just because they were attracted to the river.

But he also knew that many people moved their villages over because the war was over in the central area. After all, there were a lot of people who choose to move just because Wei Da Kingdom was using the river area for war back then.

It was only after Fei Yang Kingdom took control of the area that these people started to move back one after another.

Of course, not all of them would move.

They were already used to their current lives and had no intention to go back and live there anymore.

“I heard that they received news from their relatives that the areas around the river will be more important in the future,” Yu Jin replied. “Not that I understand the reason aside from the fact that it can help with farming.”

After all, farming needed water and these small villages would definitely be built near small rivers to accommodate their lives.

Without any water sources, it would be hard for them to live.

As for the river near this village, it was the main river that was connected to Cheng City. Though, traveling through boat would still need to take more than a day’s time.

After all, their technology was not the best and the river was not straight.

“I see.” Old Master Nan nodded thoughtfully.

“Do you want to make this city focus on farming?” Nan Hua asked another question.

Because Nan Hua remembered that if Yu Jin wanted to develop the city well, she should make some specialties. Otherwise, it would be an ordinary city that was hard to truly develop.

“I don’t know.” Yu Jin shrugged. “But I plan to keep the military under me. It’s just that their number has to be reduced.”

This was because there was a limit to how many private soldiers the nobles could have. The higher the rank, the more soldiers they were allowed to have on the surface.

But this law would not stop them from accumulating soldiers secretly.

And Yu Jin has received several meritorious reward during the time she served Fei Yang Kingdom as General Yu, so she has nobility rank too.
