They chose to settle down on the north bank of Minong River, and then developed into the present Meinong. After that, the ancestors of Meinong moved to the Longdu area to reclaim, dig the Longzhuang water channel, and build dams to block the Laonong River for irrigation. Therefore, they often clashed with the Fuluo village in the lower reaches of the Laonong River. Eventually, they caused a water fight and caused deaths and injuries. The people in the belly built the "Shuide Palace" near the water intake of Zhuzimen in the Longzhuang Reservoir. They also included the capital to build the Bell Dingbo of the water canal, the Tu Baiqing who managed the water canal, and the king Xiao A who died fighting for water.
