July passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was already mid-August.
Fengyu had been leading the cavalry in West Continent City for nearly a month. She tackled both city defense and agricultural revitalization simultaneously, and the city, which housed tens of thousands of permanent residents, quickly fell into a steady rhythm. Under the mediation of Chen Jiangdong and the state officials, conflicts among the townsfolk gradually diminished. The majority of West Continent's population was comprised of young and able-bodied men. During the early stages of reclaiming and cultivating new farmlands, Fengyu provided grain rations to the residents. Half a month later, when stability set in, she began to cease the grain disbursement, allowing the townsfolk to rely on their own efforts for sustenance.
