Objectively speaking, clearing Spring City is indeed of no benefit to both families.
After all, reconstructing Spring City is a complicated task that would require a large amount of funds, which is not a small figure. Even if both families were to provide it, they would have to carefully evaluate it to avoid serious repercussions.
For the Tong family and the Lou family, there are plenty of stable investment options. From a high vantage point, whatever they do will be a guaranteed no-loss.
Spending that effort elsewhere could yield significant returns.
And the model Guardian Lv mentioned clearly means that both families should invest money while you from New Spring provide manpower and effort, which is quite an ask.
The process is fair, but how about the distribution? Spring City is right next to New Spring, they get six parts of the benefit, and the remaining four parts are to be shared between the two families.
