These local denizens were not just limited to building for the territory, on the contrary, the actual manpower needed for building infrastructure was not very high. These locals would cultivate and do some things that normal citizens do during their everyday lives.
Given the abundant resources in most cases, even if all the local residents were engaged in cultivation, Du You did not mind at all.
