In the end, Mu Nanjin did not go to pick up the five children.
If the children returned to Beijing with them, she would subconsciously restrain them and not let them make trouble or run around. It would be better to let them go back the same way they came. It took them many days to get to Wucheng, so it would only take so much time to go back. Since they didn't do anything to harm others or themselves when they came, they were not allowed to do such things when they returned.
Baihu and his companions left Wucheng on the fourth day after Mu Nanjin and his companions left Wucheng. Today, under Gu Ming's vigorous rectification, although not everyone in Wucheng behaves in a law-abiding manner, no one dares to cause trouble again and again. In addition, many gang branches have withdrawn from Wucheng, and conflicts among warriors have been reduced a lot as a result.
Since Lord Li failed to win the position of leader, he gradually put aside his thoughts and concentrated all his energy on reforming the five cities, making the trade in the city better and better.
When Baihu and his companions left Wucheng, Mu Nanjin and his companions had already arrived in Huaishan area.
When the emperor heard that King Yong had brought people here to suppress bandits, he ordered the train to stop and rest.
During this period, many merchant teams passed by their caravan, and they heard the merchants praising the brave king.
"If it weren't for King Yong suppressing the bandits in Huaishan, no one would dare to go to Wucheng to do business through this road."
"That's right. Thanks to King Yong, otherwise we would have to walk twice as far to get to the Five Cities, which would have cost us a lot more money."
"King Yong is a great benefactor to us merchants."
The merchants dared to praise King Yong in front of the emperor because the emperor and his companions were dressed as common people, and the merchants thought that the emperor and his companions were also merchants, so they did not mind the matter.
The ministers looked at the emperor with some concern, and were relieved when they saw that he was smiling. After all, some emperors did not like the reputation of their ministers to overshadow their own prestige.
"You only say that the suppression of bandits is the credit of the brave prince. Doesn't the emperor have any credit? If the emperor hadn't ordered the brave prince to suppress bandits, would the brave prince dare to lead his troops into battle at will?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers quickly turned around and saw Mu Nanjin standing next to the caravan listening to the merchants chatting.
When the astute businessmen heard her words, they quickly changed the subject and said, "The little girl is right. Although it was the brave prince who led the troops to suppress the bandits, the one who really made the decision was the emperor. If the emperor had not sympathized with our difficult lives and was worried about the people's hard life, he would not have ordered the brave prince to suppress the bandits."
"We in Daqian Kingdom are blessed to have Emperor Ren. Long live the emperor."
"May our king live forever."
The merchants knelt down in the direction of Kyoto.
The emperor's smile grew wider.
It's no wonder that he indulges her on a daily basis and knows how to speak for me.
Then, he heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice say, "I spoke for the old emperor in front of him. I wonder if he will make me an imperial merchant in the future for this. Hehe. 】
Emperor and ministers: “…”
It turns out there is a purpose.
The merchants left after eating and drinking their fill.
Mu Nanjin and the others were also preparing to set off. Suddenly, her space ring showed unusual movements. She used her spiritual sense to check the situation and saw that the compass given to her by the Starry Sky Immortal was constantly turning. She then pretended to reach into her sleeve and take out the compass.
[Wow, the compass is spinning so fast, it means there are great treasures around.]
When the emperor and his ministers heard that there was a big treasure, they immediately pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
What big baby? Tell me what it is.
[Hey, why are the hands spinning non-stop? Are there treasures all around? ]
[Let me see…]
Mu Nanjin used his spiritual sense to check the surrounding mountains.
[Wow, the mountain on the right is actually a big gold mine. According to my visual estimation, there are at least millions of taels of gold in it. This is my lowest estimate. If it is higher, it is not a problem to reach tens of millions of taels of gold. Oh my god, I am rich, I am rich, I am going to be rich, when I go back, I will find someone to secretly dig away all the gold mines.]
[I will become the richest man in Daqian country, raising a son won’t be a problem, hehe. ]
The emperor and ministers: "..."
Oh my god.
If they had this wealth, their national strength would be greatly raised to a higher level.
The emperor quickly came back to his senses and coughed lightly: "Left Prime Minister, I remember before I went to Wucheng, the Minister of Works told me that an official in the Ministry of Works had found a large gold mine in the Huaishan area."
The left deputy minister quickly continued his words: "This old minister also remembers this matter. At that time, the emperor specially sent more people to investigate the gold mine in order to verify this matter. I believe there will be good news when we return to the capital."
The emperor said jokingly, "I see that there are beautiful mountains and rivers here. Maybe there is a gold mine nearby."
The left prime minister smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the great gold mine may be here."
[Ah? No way? No way? No way? The big gold mine has been taken over by someone?]
[The big gold mine I just discovered is gone just like that? It would be better if I hadn’t discovered it. I was so happy for nothing. ]
[It's really a shame to miss out on such a big gold mine. 】
The emperor and his ministers all turned their heads away and laughed.
[Fuck, I don't believe that such a huge country like Daqian only has one gold mine. If I can't dig this one, I'll dig the next one.]
[Look, the compass is spinning so fast, there must be a mine nearby.]
Mu Nanjin used his mind to look into the distance.
[Wow, there is a jade mine fifty miles away, and the quality of the jade is the best of the best. It will definitely make a lot of money if it is sold.]
The emperor smiled and said, "If there really is a big gold mine here, then there may be other mines nearby. When we go back, let the Ministry of Works send people to search carefully. We must check the area within a hundred miles. This is the best opportunity to strengthen the Great Qian Kingdom."
"yes."
[Humph, with the backward technology nowadays, you can’t just look it up. ]
Mu Nanjin thought about it and felt that what he said was not right.
[Well, it seems that this cannot be said. If a large gold mine buried deep inside can be discovered, then jade mines can also be discovered at any time.]
[Don't underestimate the abilities of mortals. ]
[Wow, I missed a gold mine, and then I missed a jade mine. My flesh hurts. No, not only my flesh hurts, my tendons and veins hurt, my bones hurt, my whole body hurts.]
Puff——
Envoy Li couldn't help laughing out loud.
Mu Nanjin and the emperor looked at him.
Captain Liu glared at him secretly: "What are you laughing at?"
Li Zhenfu said quickly: "I am happy for the emperor and for our Daqian country. I hope that a large iron mine will appear near the gold mine, which will greatly enhance the military strength of Daqian country. Then why should we be afraid of other countries?"
Captain Liu smiled and said, "Our emperor is blessed with great fortune. Maybe he will find iron ore on the next journey."
【iron ore?】
【I am not interested in iron ore.】
[If we can find iron ore on the way back, then we should find a way to tell the old emperor. After all, I don’t want the Great Qian Kingdom to decline.]
The emperor smiled happily and said, "Thank you for your good words."
Governor Li finally understood why the emperor was so indulgent towards Mu Nanjin.
Because in the eyes of the emperor, she is the real treasure. No gold or silver mine is better than a piece of Mu Nanjin.
