"Starting tomorrow, you will take thirty people to plant trees. Buy the saplings in the city, preferably Chinese pistache. Chinese pistache likes light, is somewhat shade-tolerant when young, likes warmth, dislikes severe cold, is drought-tolerant and can grow in poor soil. It is not particular about soil and can adapt to slightly acidic, neutral and slightly alkaline sandy and clay soils."
"Moreover, it has deep roots, a well-developed taproot, strong wind resistance, and strong sprouting ability. This tree is just right for the current environment in Beicheng. If you don't have it, send someone to buy it elsewhere. Your task is to have all the mountains and roadsides in Beicheng planted with Chinese pistache trees within a month."

"My name is Dan Dao, and I am the commander of the Imperial Guards."
The man lowered his head and answered in a cold tone.
"Alright, so you're the only one with a sword! Since the Emperor sent you along, it can't be just a simple escort mission, right?"
Lin Yuxin nodded, looking at Dan Dao with curiosity, and said, "I didn't expect the Emperor to send his personal guard to me."
"Your Highness, before he left, His Majesty specifically instructed me to obey Your Highness's orders."
Dan Dao replied respectfully.
At first, he thought it was just an escort mission. How much ability could a princess have? So he didn't think the princess could ask him to do anything big.
