"It won't pass." Shen Ruhui felt no joy at all upon hearing this.

Shen Sanmu naturally knew why Shen Ruhui objected; it was because Bian Lang did not want the Tongtian River, which separated the prison land, to disappear.

But for the empire, developing the prison lands was an imperative strategy.

With the border war in full swing, a large amount of spirit stones are needed to support the effort.

"Father, is there no way to stop it?" Shen Ruhui asked, frowning.

Shen Sanmu sighed, "This is His Majesty's decision."

"Then I need to hurry up and find Brother Bian to tell him about this." Shen Ruhui said anxiously.

Shen Sanmu said speechlessly, "Why is a young lady so rash in her actions? Even if His Majesty says he wants to develop the prison land, building the Tongtian River is not easy, and eliminating the Tongtian River is even more difficult. It cannot be accomplished overnight."

“Even if the process is slow, the Tongtian River will disappear little by little,” Shen Ruhui said.

Shen Sanmu was speechless, after all, Shen Ruhui was right.

The construction of the Tongtian River consumed a great deal of the empire's financial and human resources, and took hundreds of years to complete.

The same applies to clearing the Tongtian River now, except that it may not take hundreds of years, but several decades will be more than enough.

After much deliberation, Shen Rusui decided to tell Bian Lang about this so that he could prepare in advance.

Now that the Empress has issued this order, the Ministry of Works must have already begun preparations and will soon head to the Tongtian River.

Shen Sanmu couldn't stop her and thought of sending more experts to protect her closely, but Shen Ruhui ran faster than anyone else and didn't give him the chance at all.
