Chapter 168 Gold Mine



The conversation between Yao Guangyue and the system instantly made the second prince think.

According to their conversation, Qin Xuezhen and Tangxi City will establish a country because of the wealth left by the Kang family.

However, Kang Nan was in charge of two iron mines in Yaoguang Kingdom at that time. After so many years of using all his means and thoughts, he only managed to build an army of a thousand people.

If one wants to build a country, how much wealth would one have to have? And with such a huge fortune, why would the Kang family be content to be a small trader?

In other words, the Kang family is just a merchant family. How could they have the ability to become as rich as a country? Even if they could establish a country, it would not be enough to just be as rich as a country!

So minerals are the most likely possibility!

After this association, the only question is where is this mine? Is it within the territory of Yaoguang Country?

At this time, the imperial concubine also associated the two things of explosives and farm laborers with the problem.

"I once came from Wengcheng with the little princess. Gunpowder and mining laborers are the most abundant in Wengcheng. If the Kang family also has such personnel in private, Second Prince might consider considering the mineral resources."

At this time, the third prince interrupted and exclaimed, which scared everyone.

"I remember now!"

This sound scared the imperial concubine. The second prince's hand holding the tea trembled, and the tea spilled all over the table. General Mu's walking stick almost fell to the ground, and Yao Guangyue choked.

[Ahem, I'm so scared! Children drool a lot, and I've been very careful. Could you please stop startling me? I'm choking!]

Yao Guangyue's cough quickly attracted Xiyan's attention. Xiyan took her out of the cradle, held her in her arms and patted her back. It took her a long time to recover.

The second prince couldn't help but glared at his third brother with some disgust. If his younger sister were to get hurt, he would see what the boy would do.

The third prince knew that he had caused trouble by being startled, so he lowered his head in guilt and dared not say a word.

After Yao Guangyue recovered, General Mu asked a few more questions.

"Your Highness Prince Fu, could you please calm down a bit? Even I, a veteran of many battles, was frightened, let alone this half-grown child!"

The third prince grimaced and quickly admitted his mistake.

"It's my fault. I was too impatient. It just suddenly occurred to me that the Kang family has a land deed, and this deed seems to be a mountain!"

When they heard it was Shan, everyone present became alert and ignored the noise he had just made, and quickly locked their eyes on him.

In ancient times, due to technological limitations, minerals were basically found in the mountains, and underground minerals were difficult to discover. Since the Kang family did this, this mountain might be the key.

"Which mountain are you talking about? Where is it?"

When asked this question, the third prince suddenly looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he answered two sentences.

"This mountain is a bit troublesome. Half of it is in our country, and half is in Jiuguang's country!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. The Jiuguang Kingdom was one of the vassal states of the Yaoguang Kingdom.

In recent years, the national strength of Jiuguang Kingdom has greatly increased, and it has successively conquered several small tribes. The territory has been expanding again and again, and it has been showing a trend of approaching Yaoguang Kingdom.

Now the Chixiao Kingdom is ready to make a move. If it unites with the Jiuguang Kingdom, the Yaoguang Kingdom will inevitably be attacked from both sides.

The important thing is that the court meeting is about to begin. The so-called court meeting is usually a tribute meeting held by larger countries for their vassal states.

At such a conference, each country can decide the amount of tribute to be paid next year based on its own strength.

It is also a process in which several countries are testing each other. When Jiuguang Kingdom came to the court meeting last year, they were extremely arrogant. If it were not for Mu Lan, the eldest brother of the Mu family, who suppressed them, I am afraid these people would not be safe.

"Why is it Hisamitsu Kuni?"

The imperial concubine also looked a little sad. When she was young, she followed her father and brother to fight against Hisamitsu Kuni.

She knew very well that the people in this country always did things in a dishonorable way, and it would be really difficult to deal with them once they got entangled with them.

"Our country shares a border with the Kingdom of Jiuguang, so Jiuguang is the most arrogant and domineering among all the vassal states. After all, they know very well that with such a large border area, many people will suffer if a war breaks out, so they are even more unscrupulous."

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but sigh. This matter was indeed becoming more and more troublesome.

[System, it seems like the Jiuguang Kingdom was destroyed very quickly in the plot?]

[Reminder to the host: the country that the hero and heroine just established was formed by the subjects of the lost Jiuguang Kingdom. Jiuguang Kingdom will soon be destroyed, but the troubles left behind are huge! ]

[Let me think about it. Jiuguang State has been levying heavy taxes and expanding its territory recklessly over the years. The small tribes under it are complaining bitterly. Is it because the tribes under them have united and divided up their territory?]

[That's right. The heroine appeared as a goddess and tied many small tribes together to form their own country. She also conquered the remaining subjects of the Jiuguang Kingdom. This is the prototype of their country.]

After sorting out the plot, Yao Guangyue couldn't help but feel disgusted.

What kind of literature is this? All because of a goddess, the people of the various tribes gave up the world, shook hands, made peace, and submitted to her. They even offered a poor foreign prince to flatter the emperor. My god!

[Host, please don't dislike the plot, because if you're not careful you'll become cannon fodder! ]

Yao Guangyue was taught a lesson by the system, so even if they knew where the treasures were, they couldn't move them at all.

Killing the male and female protagonists is impossible, and this batch of wealth and minerals cannot be moved because they are located between the two countries. It seems that we must find a way to return to the capital as soon as possible.

"We need to think long and hard about this matter. First, we need to confirm whether the mountain is a mineral deposit, and then report back to our father. If it is, we must take the mountain at all costs. This court meeting is our chance!"

After some analysis, a conclusion was finally reached, and Qin Xuezhen and Tang Xicheng on the other side also received the news.

Kang Wenhai was protected by his father, but he has been imprisoned.

In order to rescue him, Tangxi Cheng bribed the officials of the government jail and sent a fake Kang Wenhai to jail.

This time he used the same face-changing potion that Qin Xuezhen had used when she escaped from the Taimiao.

Originally, Tangxi City wanted to use the human skin mask, but Qin Xue was really reluctant to part with it, so she remembered the face-changing potion.

After Kang Wenhai's explanation, the two also learned about the gold mine.
