Xueying threw the stone in her hand directly into Dan Dao's hand.
Dan Dao hurriedly took the gold mine, examined it carefully, and discovered that it was indeed a gold mine. Overjoyed, he immediately led his men down to investigate.
Lin Yuxin and Xueying waited upstairs. She didn't want to go down again; it was too dark down there, and even if she went down, she might not be able to come back up! She decided against it.
Dan Dao was quick, and he came back up in no time after going down.
Lin Yuxin watched him use his light-footed skills to move up and down, filled with jealousy. Why didn't she have that ability? Why not give her some more advantages?
"Princess, you are truly a great hero!"
Dan Dao was excited; he had just seen that the area below was full of gold mines, and there were still many.
He wanted to go back and write a letter to the Emperor, and he would have to use a flying eagle to deliver the message.
"Alright, as long as the Emperor knows my merits, that's enough. Don't let him withhold my rewards."
Lin Yuxin waved her hand dismissively, but her heart was bleeding with heartache.
[Waaaaah! My gold mine! I hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it before it was handed over! My gold! You've left me like this, how am I supposed to live now?!]
Dan Dao's lips twitched. "The only one who can say the Emperor is stingy is you, Princess!"
Afterwards, Dan Dao arranged for ten people to guard the place, while he, Lin Yuxin, and Xueying returned to the prefectural city to write a letter to the emperor.
By the time the three arrived at the city, it was already dark.
Lin Yuxin ate a little something and then went to sleep. She was tired, exhausted from worrying about the gold mine.
Dan Dao wrote a letter overnight and had the royal guards deliver it back to the palace using a night hawk.
The letters delivered by the Night Hawk would go directly to the Emperor and would not pass through anyone else's hands.
It's just that the Royal Guard's Nighthawks rarely use them.
The next day, since Dan Dao was going to guard the gold mine, Lin Yuxin took Xueying to find a water source.
Lin Yuxin led her people westward for five days and finally found a waterfall in a deserted canyon, which made her extremely happy.
Judging by the speed of the water flow, there should be a considerable amount of water.
Lin Yuxin followed the direction of the water flow upstream, but after two days she still couldn't find the end.
It is estimated that the source of this waterfall should be flowing from the area of Luxi City.
Because there is a long river with a long history there, called Lugong Lake.
This lake connects directly to the sea and has never dried up.
Such a large flow of water most likely originates from Lugong Lake.
“Princess, the water from this waterfall is enough for the people of the North City to use for a long time.”
Xueying was also very happy and admired the princess's luck. Just by searching around, she could find a waterfall instead of a gold mine!
Moreover, it was in the arid city of Jibei. Although it was very close to the border of Luxi City, the princess still managed to find it, didn't she?
"Hmm, this water should be enough to get through this crisis. We'll go back and install pipes to bring the water all the way back."
Lin Yuxin nodded, then thought of a way to get the water back.
"yes!"
The two wandered around the area for a while, making sure it was secluded and no one had been there before, before returning to the prefectural city.
Lin Yuxin wrote a water diversion plan that very night, and the next day she sent Xueying with people to carry it out!
After Xueying left, Lin Yuxin busied herself writing her new plan, which aimed to transform Jibei City into a trading mecca.
Although this place is located in the north of the Xia Kingdom, Jibei City is the most important place for the entire Xia Kingdom to connect with the other three kingdoms.
Its northernmost point is Quyan County, which is closest to northern Xinjiang.
Its westernmost point, beyond the city of Luxi, lies the border of the Zhao state.
And its southernmost point, past Chushui County, was the State of Qi.
Although they have more than one road to the Xia Kingdom, once this road is opened, Jibei City will become a bridge between the four kingdoms.
As long as we do this trade well, we won't have to worry about not making money from other countries!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin became more and more excited as she wrote, and she wrote half of it in no time.
Just as Lin Yuxin was engrossed in writing, Zhao Yi walked in.
"Princess, the eldest son has arrived."
Lin Yuxin didn't realize who the eldest young master was.
[Young Master? Young Master, Eldest Brother? Eldest Brother is here?]
Lin Yuxin finally realized what was happening, her eyes lit up as she looked at Zhao Yi and asked:
"Is this my older brother, Lin Chenglie?"
Zhao Yi's lips twitched, but he still nodded in agreement:
"Yes, it is the eldest son."
"Big brother is here! I'll go greet him."
Lin Yuxin quickly put down her calligraphy brush and ran outside.
"Big brother!"
Lin Yuxin ran outside and saw her older brother leading people to unload the goods. She rushed over happily and smiled.
"Yes, it's been more than two months. You've grown taller and lost a little weight."
Hearing the sound, Lin Chenglie looked up and saw a girl in a light pink dress rushing towards him.
Only when he got closer did he realize it was his younger sister. He looked her up and down, raised his hand to pat her head, and said softly.
"Hehe! Big brother, did you come here to pick up that Qiling King?"
Lin Yuxin chuckled foolishly, then asked curiously.
It wasn't hard to guess why her elder brother had come, but what she didn't expect was that the Emperor would actually send him.
"Yes, these are what my mother asked me to bring for you. Have someone move them inside in a bit! We can talk about the rest inside. I can't stay long; I have to leave this afternoon. I need to go back to the capital tonight after I meet Prince Qiling."
Lin Chenglie nodded and then said, "There are some things that can't be said openly outside."
"Zhao Yi, take some men and move these to my room. Come on, brother, let's go inside and sit down."
