Shenyan Lake has two tributaries, an upper one and a lower one.

The upstream tributary "Bibo Creek" feeds into Lake Divine Eye. This small river originates between Harrenhal and Flowing City, but then meanders back to Harrenhal and flows into Lake Divine Eye.

The downstream tributary, "Shenyan River," flows out of Shenyan Lake and then into the Blackwater River.

The Lord of Harrenhal possessed not only a castle, but also fertile and wealthy lands, taxation rights, the right to hunt over a large lake, Lake God's Eye, and the right to hunt in the forests within his territory.

Harrenhal's territory is densely populated, with two vassal towns, numerous farms, and fertile fields; this is the true essence of the Counts of Harrenhal.

The people of the river region are traditionally known as the "Three Rivers People," and include resilient warriors, peaceful fishermen, and devout civilians.

Harrenburg and the first town, Harren, are located on the north shore of Lake God's Eye, with Harren to the west of Harrenburg.

Another small town, Shenyan Town, is located on the south bank of Shenyan Lake.

In the original story, Whitethorn Manor, where Arya Stark stole corn, was located south of Godeye Lake, east of Godeye River, and next to Kingsroad, which was already considered part of the royal domain.

Sir Lucas Dane experienced megalophobia upon arriving at Harrenhal.

This place is so huge, and although it is full of devastation, it is ridiculously large. The five towers are like five rough, cracked fingers reaching for the sky.

The towns and castles of Dorne are relatively small. The closest towns to a city are Sunspear and Slatter, but even they are pitifully small compared to a large city like Tyrosh.

Harrenhal was mostly in a state of decay, and the Hean family only used the lower two-thirds of the five towers.

Even though the He'an family is wealthy, they don't have the power to mobilize resources across the entire territory and can only guarantee the use of a portion of them, which is still conspicuous enough.

Harrenhal is a castle fit only for a king; it is so large that only the wealth of a kingdom can sustain its maintenance costs.

Harrenhal was built on flat ground, which is extremely labor-intensive, especially since there wasn't much stone, timber, or gold available in the river valleys.

To build this giant city, the ruthless Herren not only exhausted the iron ore and the blood of the people of Sanhe, but also waged wars and plundered everywhere.

Harren's army plundered stone, timber, and gold from neighboring countries, along with laborers, forcing them to work day and night. Thousands of slave laborers died from exhaustion during the quarrying and timber transport.

Due to a shortage of timber, Herren cut down many weirwood trees that had been growing for thousands of years.

The King of House Hoare skillfully used longships to control the three rivers, and with the completion of the great city of Harrenhal, he exuded the aura of a little tyrant in Westeros.

The Blackhearted Harren's Confident Castle is the ultimate shell of Westeros.

Unfortunately, the version has changed; the Dragon's Descent is now a cross-dimensional attack.

At dawn, Arthur, accompanied by his swordsmanship instructor Sir Lucas, his companions Willie Ward and Lucas Rutter, left Harrenhal.

The Sanhe area is mostly flat and boundless, relying on a network of waterways running north to south as a natural barrier.

This is especially true of Harrenhal, which is the eye of the storms in the East River region.

The Riverlands are bordered by the Neck Marsh to the north, the Valley to the east, the Western Frontier to the west, and the Blackwater River to the south; it is the heart of the Sunset Continent.

Westeros also has its own four battlegrounds, the central plains of Westeros, which have been the site of numerous large-scale wars.

The rich and fertile Riverlands are adjacent to the six kingdoms beyond Dorne, with the only thing that could be considered a barrier being the river. It did not originally have a formidable city like Storm's End or Casterly Rock.

As the king of the Trident River, the most painful thing is being forced to fight on two or even three fronts.

Facing neighboring countries from all sides, including the King of the North, the King of Casterly Rock, the Ironborn, the King of Storms, the King of the Reach, the King of the Valley, and even the wildlings from the Moon Mountains.

Furthermore, the feudal lords of Hejian harbored deep-seated resentment towards each other, and were quick to turn against one another. Whenever an external enemy appeared, there were often those who defected.

Therefore, looking at the seven kingdoms, no place was as frequently at war as the Riverlands, with countless dynasties rising and falling.

Arthur and his party traveled through the river to Arthur's personal estate near Harrenhal.

The area around Shenyan Lake is full of fertile land, with many fields and farmhouses scattered along its banks.

This opened the eyes of Ser Lucas of Dorne, who realized that only such land could be called large, fertile fields, and that fertile fields were quite rare in Dorne.

Only the Riverlands and the Reach, the two great breadbaskets of Westeros, offer this feeling of boundless land where one can ride horses all day long.

Leaping across the north of Shenyan Lake, the terrain here is flat with few undulations, and large, steep hills are rarely seen.

Under the azure sky, the vegetation is lush, the green waves are gentle, and everything is thriving.

Sir Lucas admired the land, praising it as perfect in terms of water, soil, and climate.

Arthur's estate is located east of Harrenhal, by the Blue Wave Creek, and is secluded and tranquil, not bordering any town.

This is the heir's own backyard, very close to Harrenhal and Lake God's Eye.

Arthur's other fiefdom, Whitewall, is located southeast of Harrenhal, closer to King's Landing.

Arthur's estate stretches for miles, its walls made of gray stone, topped with a bat-shaped family nameplate, symbolizing its status as a directly owned farm.

The estate has two elderly guards from the Hean family, and several tenant farmers who have been loyal to the Earl of Harrenhal for generations clean it regularly.

The group led the horses to the stables and then strolled around the estate on foot.

The manor already has a stable, a log cabin built for Arthur, and a small wooden boat for rowing.

There were even warehouses and small squares where grain could be dried.

"What is the name of this manor?" Sir Lucas asked.

"Bluehand Manor!" Arthur replied.

Arthur had considered many names, such as Green Wave Manor and Riverside Manor, but they were all too common. He decided to just go with Green Hand Manor.

"Blue Hands, a good name." Sir Lucas nodded with a smile.

"Blue Hand" Garth is a legendary figure from the heroic age, symbolizing harvest or prosperity, and also representing a good omen.

The terrain of Qing Shou Manor is mainly gentle hills, with forests and streams, and it is close to Bi Bo Creek.

The scenery is beautiful and the location is very secluded.

Sir Lucas was also amazed; being in such a place brought a sense of peace and tranquility, a feeling of forgetting the world.

Arthur has already had roads cleared out on the manor, and now the manor has apple trees, wild grapes, potatoes, and so on, with sweet corn being the most abundant crop.

Not just because the traditional crops of the Riverlands are barley, wheat, and corn.

This is, after all, a fantasy world, where corn and cotton have already made their appearance.

Moreover, the first enhanced seed Arthur obtained was corn, and he had already set up a test field to cultivate it.

There is a clear dividing line between the front and back cornfields. The small 10-meter by 10-meter cornfield in the back is well-managed and is given special attention.

"These corns." Sir Lucas quickly noticed something was wrong with the corn. The corn in front was only slightly better than in a normal field, while the corn in the back was taller and better.

Even if the land around Shenyan Lake is fertile, this corn harvest is indeed too abundant.

"Try this sweet corn, River Corn," Arthur said, then broke off a stalk of corn, washed it with water from his wine bag, and handed it to Sir Lucas.

Sir Lucas took the corn. It tasted sweet and was large and flavorful. It would be easy to sell it for a good price.

"It's truly delicious. Even the most discerning wealthy merchants in King's Landing would be satisfied with this corn," Sir Lucas exclaimed. The corn had indeed been cultivated to this level, which was quite remarkable.

Sir Lucas quickly recognized the business opportunity behind it: money making money, products making money.

The problem for the He'an family is that they have lost a lot of money and need to recover their losses as quickly as possible.

In the known world, the wealthy are either nobles or merchants living in port cities, and these people are all willing to spend money to enjoy life.

Although the land between the East Rivers is impoverished, King's Landing remains a den of iniquity.

King Robert was also a man of extravagance and debauchery, and the people of King's Landing shared this trend.

Harrenhal is not far from King's Landing and Seagulltown, and there is even a market nearby.

"Then they'll have to wait a while before they get to enjoy it; this is an experimental field," Arthur said mysteriously.

Arthur possesses two skills: "Prosperous Growth" and "Seed Bank". Even if the system provides very few seeds, the corn is just a single corn seed.

However, thanks to the efficiency of accelerated growth, it can still be used in combination, although it takes some time.

The land is now growing at an accelerated rate of one meter by one meter, maturing four-fifths of the time ahead of schedule. Arthur is confident that he can continue to improve.

Arthur did an excellent job of keeping things secret and conducting research and development. He first achieved a certain scale before launching the product, and only started selling the first one after he had a second seed.

Even if these corn seeds were to spread in the future, Arthur would have already developed new track seeds and a prosperity buff.

Moreover, seeds and land are inseparable.

The same superior variety can produce vastly different results in experimental fields and general fields, and also in the Herenberg area and other regions.

Relying on Arthur's own abilities and the fact that the seven kingdoms of Harrenhal are among the most fertile, Arthur was confident that he could do what others didn't have, and do what others had better.

Arthur smiled slightly. The path of farming begins with corn.

The known world has never lacked people who have become rich by selling high-quality goods. Greenwood Island relies on wine, Dorne on summer reds, the Ellenwood family sells minerals, and the Vale people sell scented candles.

Arthur's mother's family, the Bartway family of Whitewall, once became one of the wealthiest families in the Seven Kingdoms by selling milk. Whitewall also produced some of the finest wines outside of Greenwood.

The combination of Arthur's "Blue Hand" talent and the vast farming paradise under Harrenhal's jurisdiction can be described as a match made in heaven.

Since the situation among the seven kingdoms will remain peaceful for a long time, I'll farm and practice martial arts for now.

With funding, and by cultivating connections and resources, the He'an family can be revitalized.
