After felling the mountain and demolishing the temple, the truly troublesome matters began.
First, the villagers needed to be settled, at the very least gathered together instead of being scattered here and there.
Otherwise, the requirements for establishing a county would not be met.
A mountain city required fewer conditions, but a population of no less than ten thousand was indispensable.
However, gathering so many mountain dwellers posed the problem of food—there simply wasn't enough arable land in the mountain ranges, and hunting alone could never feed over ten thousand people.
The only option was to have the Taoist Soldiers cultivate new land.
Song Lin decided to use the Kui Dragon to move a few small mountains. While larger mountains couldn't be dismantled, repositioning smaller ones could create open spaces, and soil could then be transported to form a vast plain deep within the mountains.
This would give rise to the embryonic form of a county.
