I think that Claudius and Xinchen were both decent leaders. They both pushed for and executed building water canals to better their communities. The people in both their nations asked for a water system and they gave it to them, which I think is commendable. It is crucial for people in power should to listen to people and give them something that can benefit everyone.
After reading the stories of the two leaders, I strongly believe that Xinchen was the better leader. From his actions, it's no question that he wanted the best for his people and their well being. Even in Xinchen's position of power, he still worked alongside the people in his community to help build canals, ditches and water gates. These new additions where in several places in his kingdom to expand irrigated land. Because of this, people had a surplus of crops that they can possibly later sell or trade. Xinchen also regulated equitable distribution of water in his community to prevent disputes between the people. Claudius wasn't as involved and didn't prioritize the people of his community like Xinchen. At one point he had put off the people requests for water systems before he finally did it. Although he lacked multiple water systems, his kingdom had canals, drainage channels, fountains and a lake and the quality of them were "great and essential". But he created a lake in order to gain glory, not only for the sole purpose of bettering his community.
