The palace did not have a moat. There was only the Long Yin River. But this was not a problem. Lu Shu wanted the wealthy families to bring the Long Yin River into the palace. Once they sealed off the inner and outer cities, the inner city would have its own moat.
The water level of the Long Yin River was high. No one had ever cleared the silt in the river. Thus, the river bed of the Long Yin River constantly grew higher. There were several times when the river overflowed while changing course, causing the civilians to suffer.
If this had happened on Earth, it would have been solved a long time ago. But the lives of the civilians here were not worth much. No one planned to spend money and fix the river.
At that moment, although each of the wealthy families lost ten thousand elites, they were able to accept this loss. They did not need to fight either. The bosses of their shops and their staff could go and dig the river.
