Seeing Qin Qianluo frowning as she pondered, Su Xiang felt a warmth in his heart. Qianluo truly was a good official who cared deeply for the people. So sincere and genuine, even with such great abilities, she still thought about doing more for the people. This alone was enough to ensure that the entire Tianxuan Kingdom would protect this girl for a worry-free life. It seemed that he also needed to work harder so that Qianluo wouldn't have to work so hard. Qianluo was still young, and having so many things to consider would stunt her growth.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan clenched their fists, thinking that they couldn't hold their daughter/little sister back and had to work harder so that their daughter/little sister could grow up happily.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were even more grateful. Lord Qin was a national treasure, wholeheartedly devoted to ensuring the people's well-being. Crown Prince Ning Chenyi silently resolved to spend more time with Lord Qin in the future, anticipating his needs and making his work less strenuous. The Second Prince Ning Chenyu, a skilled martial artist, had previously focused solely on expanding the empire for his father and elder brother, the Crown Prince. Now, because of Lord Qin's presence, he realized the importance of ensuring the people's livelihood. He too silently resolved to protect Lord Qin's safety, prevent his harm, and do more for the people of his country.
The morning court session ended with everyone sharing their dedication to serving the country and its people. Full of energy, everyone returned to their posts, diligently performing their duties. Little did they know that as Lord Xiao Qin brought forth ever more gifts, they would spend almost every day in a state of constant activity. Thanks to their united efforts, the status of the Tianxuan Kingdom rose dramatically, expanding its territory more than tenfold and successfully unifying the world. This period was later hailed as the Tianxuan Golden Age, and Emperor Ning became a revered emperor for all time. But that's another story.
Qin Qianluo returned to her courtyard, took out the printed documents and drawings from 001, and looked at the stack of papers that was almost taller than her, feeling troubled. Her voice was somewhat hoarse as she asked, "Is this all? How am I going to give all this to my father?"
Looking at the high stack of papers, 001 felt a little embarrassed. "Luo Bao, there are still a few diagrams for making fire pits. Right now, there are not only iron and coal mines here, but also gold, silver, copper, and oil mines. And they're not just from within Tianxuan territory, but also from surrounding countries. There are also some weapon manufacturing blueprints and steel smelting methods. That's why it looks like there's so much. Why don't we put away the gold mines and the weapons and steel first? Luo Bao will give you the iron ore, coal mine, and other manufacturing methods first. As for the rest, we can give them to you slowly later. Anyway, the imperial court isn't short of money now."
Qin Qianluo considered the feasibility, while the guards were getting anxious: "Young Lady Qin, please don't! We can give them all together. We guarantee that no one will ask a single question. If anyone dares to ask a single question, we will kill that person. Young Lady Qin, please give them with peace of mind!"
Qin Qianluo couldn't hear the guards' thoughts anymore, so she decided to put away the mine maps and weapon blueprints from other countries for now, and take them out later. She also put away some of the gold mine blueprints, leaving about a book's thickness of paper. She nodded and, before her father returned home, quietly delivered them to his study. After everything was arranged, she slipped into her spatial dimension and began her daily training.
The guards watched helplessly as the weapon blueprints disappeared, feeling like they were about to cry. They were completely at a loss, exchanged glances, and then sent one of the guards to report to the Emperor.
When Prime Minister Qin returned to the palace after retrieving the documents given to him by Qin Qianluo, he felt the Emperor looking at him with a resentful expression as soon as he entered the Imperial Study. Prime Minister Qin looked up in confusion, unsure of what was happening, and could only bow before handing over the documents. The Emperor looked at the documents, his eyes growing brighter. They were indeed valuable, and the cost was not high. However, when he thought of the weapon manufacturing blueprints and other valuable items that could have been obtained at the same time, his eyes dimmed again. He ordered the Ministry of Works to take the documents to study them. He also brought out the mineral distribution map. Seeing that there were still so many undiscovered minerals, he was about to laugh when he thought of the mineral distribution maps that had not been taken and the mineral distribution maps of other countries. He could no longer be happy. He waved his hand, ordering his men to find places to mine as soon as possible, and then looked at his Left Prime Minister with a resentful gaze.
Seeing the Emperor's ever-changing expression—one second he was happy, the next he was unhappy, and now he was looking at him with that kind of gaze—Qin Xiang felt a chill run down his spine and was quite confused. Could there be something wrong with what Luo'er had brought out? That shouldn't be the case. What's wrong with the Emperor today? Could he have taken the wrong medicine? He looked at Su Xiang beside him with a questioning look: What's wrong with His Majesty?
