Emerging from the Star Territory Cauldron, the sun was already a tree-height in the sky. After Hua Tianxiong quickly ate breakfast, Li Gang, Wang Yuan, Gongsun Shang, He Jiong, Qu Zhong, Ma Chen, and Mo Di all hurried to the main hall of the Prince's Mansion. Once they arrived, they took their respective seats, and Li Gang spoke first:
"Your Highness, over the past few days, Lord Gongsun and the other officials have also communicated with me. Regarding the matter of developing the marshlands and building a new city, I too feel it is a visionary endeavor for the current Tieshi City."
"Moreover, once successfully built, we can rely on the marshlands to effectively defend against the Beast Tide. However, the manpower and financial resources required to develop the marshlands are by no means ordinary; it is undoubtedly a monumental project. Although Tieshi City currently has over twenty thousand displaced people whose labor we can utilize, this is still far from enough. At the same time, we do not currently have sufficient financial support; the silver taels needed to build a new city in the marshlands would definitely run into the hundreds of millions."
