Iskander said to Dolly, "Dolly, this Xumi Chamber of Commerce is still in its infancy. From now on, I will give you full authority to develop it."

The Ministry of Education is indifferent to the economy within Xumi. What they care about is that the Chamber of Commerce can pay them money to support their academic research.

Dolly nodded: "No problem, I will definitely make the Xumi Chamber of Commerce flourish."

"By the way, the canal from the Arm of Heaven Pool to the Port of Ormos is too narrow. My ship can't get in at all."

"Little dragon, help me widen this canal."

Jing Fantian ate a chicken drumstick and responded to Duoli: "What little evil dragon? How many times have I told you that when you are working, you should call me Lord Dragon King instead of your title!"

"Okay, okay, my Lord Dragon King, please help me widen this canal."

Jing Fantian thought for a moment and refused, "With this upstream canal, we have enough. The Port of Omos can be eliminated."

Dolly shook her head. "That won't work. If we want to go to Liyue Harbor for trade, Omos Harbor is the fastest. We can't go around in such a long circle."

All trade between Xumi and Liyue passes through the Port of Ormos and is shipped by sea to the Port of Liyue.

The upstream trade mainly involves trade with countries outside Liyue, or tea trade with Chenyu Valley.

Duoli picked up a large chicken drumstick for Jing Fantian and said, "My Lord Dragon King, how are you? I was the one who took you in. Over the years, I always came to you first when I had good business."

"Okay, okay! I'll help you for Dolly's sake."

Jing Fantian agreed.

Nashida and many sages looked at Dolly with gratitude.

This is not just Dolly's business, it benefits the entire Xumi.

"But I have a condition."

Jing Fantian talked about his conditions again.

Dolly asked in confusion, "What conditions?"

Jing Fantian said, "I hope this canal will be called the Nilu Canal, named after Nilu."

Everyone looked at Nilu. Nilu lowered her head shyly. She didn't expect that Jing Fantian didn't want anything else but wanted to name it after her. This, this is so happy!

The women in the field, Falusan, Dishia, and Dinazedai all looked at Nilu with some envy.

Jing Fantian's love for Ni Lu is really deep, although he doesn't just love Ni Lu.

But the love I give to Nilu alone is something that many people cannot do.

The canal was named after Nilu. Even if thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed, the people of Xumi may not remember the names of the Great Kindness Tree King and the Small Auspicious Grass King.

But Nilu's name must still be remembered, and what's more, the story behind it is that a king named the river after the person he loved.

Dolly looked at Narcida. This was not her decision.

Nashida nodded. "No problem. Nilu River, it's a nice name."

Ni Lu could only hold Jing Fantian's hand with a blushing face, and didn't care even though his hands were covered in oil.

He also took out tissues to help Jing Fantian clean up.

Dixia wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't speak.

Nilu saw it and spoke up for Dishiya, "Dishiya, just say whatever you want to say!"

Everyone looked at Dishia.

Dixia simply said it out. She knew that this was something that would embarrass others, but as a citizen of the desert, she couldn't help but think about her compatriots.

Dixia knelt down and begged Jing Fantian: "Lord Dragon King, please dig a canal in the desert."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, even the kindest Nilu stopped talking to help Dixia.

Because this requirement is too difficult.

The Great Red Sand Sea is so vast that it can accommodate two Sumeru rainforests. It is hoped that a canal can be built in it.

Even though Jing Fantian was a rock dragon, he still found it a bit too much to handle.

Such a project can be said to be more difficult than completing the Grand Canal of the Five Kingdoms.

But can Jing Fantian do it?

Yes! For him, digging the canal was a simple exercise of power.

When Jing Fantian becomes a complete dragon, he can cause a crack in the middle of the Great Red Sand Sea with just a thought.

Jing Fantian tapped the table and thought slowly.

Di Xia seemed to have seen Jing Fantian's embarrassment, and stood up and pulled Jing Fantian up.

"Excuse me, Nilu, can I borrow your Lord Dragon King for a moment?"

Nilu didn't know what to say. Jing Fantian was not hers, but she also vaguely knew what Dixia wanted to pay.

"Dixia, you are so caring for your compatriots..."

Dixia smiled generously and said, "Some things must be done."

What's more, a mere innocence is not worth mentioning compared to the happiness of the people of the desert.

Dixia didn't say the rest.

She was very glad that Jing Fantian coveted her. This was the only price she could pay.

Jing Fantian quickly let go of Dixia's hand: "Dixia, don't think of me as that kind of dirty person. Isn't it just to open a canal in the Great Red Sand Sea?"

"I'll help you, can't I help you?"

"..."

Everyone was shocked, as they all vaguely knew what Dixia would pay.

This evil dragon is lustful and looks at Dishiya with the expression of wanting to eat her. It is not particularly difficult to guess what Dishiya wants in return.

But Jing Fantian no longer wants Dixia's beauty. He wants to be kind enough to build a canal for the Dachishahai, which is very rare.

Lian Nilu also looked at Jing Fantian excitedly.

Dixia looked at Jing Fantian with gratitude, but Jing Fantian secretly sent a message to Dixia, and she stopped smiling immediately.

There are several reasons why Jing Fantian did not make a deal with Di Xia.

Nilu was watching from the side. It was not a good idea for him to go out and eat secretly. Of course he had to do this kind of thing of controlling people, but he could only do it secretly and not let Nilu know.

Otherwise Nilu will feel uncomfortable.

Also, Jing Fantian had once promised Candice to change the desert.

At this stage, Jing Fantian does not have the energy to plant trees, but building a canal is no problem.

"However, I have a condition."

Nashida looked at Jing Fantian and said, "Tell me, I will agree to any condition you give me."

"I want the Great Red Sand Sea to be my fiefdom."

"..."

Everyone was silent again.

Xumi nominally belongs to the Grass God, but the Great Red Sand Sea has belonged to the Red King since ancient times.

Now that the Red King is gone, its ownership is in the hands of his descendants.

Everyone looked at Dixia. Dixia was silent for a while. She could not make decisions on behalf of all the survivors of the Red King.

But the survivors of the Red King today are nothing more than a group of people from a fallen nation clinging to the glory of the past. Even their lives have become a problem, so how can they talk about glory?

"Well, whoever brings hope to the people of the desert will be the true king of the desert."

Whether it is the Red King or the Dragon King, only the one who can bring hope to others can be king.

The era of the Red King has ended, and the era of the Dragon King begins.

Jing Fantian smiled and nodded. Looking at the map, the Great Red Sand Sea is the largest area in the entire Teyvat.

Twice the size of the Xumi Rainforest, the entire Liyue is not as big as the Great Red Sand Sea.

But there is a problem. The Great Red Sand Sea belongs neither to the descendants of the Red King nor to Nashida.

But it belongs to Apep, the Grass Dragon. How can he convince Apep to give him his territory?

Kill Apep?

That's a bit extreme.

However, after Jing Fantian obtained the Great Red Sand Sea, he only had a nominal claim to it, and he did not want to develop it.

He only needs to wait for Zhongli to step down before developing Liyue. As for the Great Red Sand Sea, he can just wait for Liyue to repay him.

By then, Liyue and the Great Red Sand Sea will surround Xumi City from both sides. Jing Fantian will have to control Nashida and strive to become Nashida's father-in-law.
