"So what you're saying is that the reason your Kang family has stayed in Yaoguang Country is because of that gold mine?"
Kang Wenhai nodded helplessly. He had been imprisoned during this period and had not been able to take the antidote. He was tortured to the point of being worse than death every night. Now he is almost unrecognizable.
He couldn't help but panic when he saw Tang Xicheng and Qin Xuezhen. No matter what they asked, he didn't dare to lie.
"This gold mine is located at the border between two countries. No one from either country would touch it casually, so it has been hidden until now and no one knows it is a mine."
Tangxi Cheng had long known from the system that the things left by the Kang family could help him establish a country. At that time, he thought it was a joke.
After all, he is just a businessman. No matter how much money he can make, how can he establish a country?
And what is needed to establish a country is not just money, but if that thing is a mine, it would be different.
"I really didn't expect that your Kang family actually hid such a big secret, but how did you know that it was a gold mine?"
Kang Wenhai was feeling a little weak at this time. He wanted to rest, but he didn't dare to not answer these people, so he spoke weakly.
"Every mine has its own veins. Our family bought and fenced off a lot of land over the years, and accidentally took over a river. That river is too remote, and few people go there."
"But my father thought the soil by the river was fertile, so he wanted to farm there. But every year he planted the land, it failed. Later, he asked someone to take a look. They said there might be a mine on the mountain, so he sent someone to check it out. That's how he discovered it."
After all the fuss, I discovered it because of greed, but it was really an accident.
Tang Xicheng couldn't help but smile. It really seemed like God was helping him.
"So, you guys fenced off all the nearby land, even if it meant breaking the law, even if it meant going against the grain, you didn't hesitate to do it, all for this mine."
"In order to prevent the two princes from noticing anything unusual, you took the initiative to attack the Third Prince, even sacrificing your second brother?"
"I was wondering earlier, if merchants like you have a conflict with the imperial court, why would you resort to such extreme measures? I see!"
They were still breathing heavily, their bodies leaning weakly to the side.
"Not only that, but they wanted to cut down the trees on that mountain, saying they wanted to build houses for the disaster victims. But they were sure to find gold mines when they went up the mountain, and my father refused, so that's why they did this."
It turned out that this was the real reason why Kang Wenlu was in a hurry to attack the third prince. Tang Xicheng couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment, but he knew that with this mine, his chances of turning things around would be greater.
However, this mine is now located in the center of the territories of Jiuguang Kingdom and Yaoguang Kingdom. It may not be easy to mine it as one's base.
"Qin Xuezhen asked the system, in the plot, where did our country first start?"
Qin Xuezhen nodded, but the system revealed it before she could ask.
[Host, please inform me that your country's capital was originally established in Jiuguang State. Over the years, Jiuguang State has been levying heavy taxes and wantonly expanding its territory, attacking many small tribes.]
Some small tribes are nomadic and believe in God. The heroine enters the tribe as a goddess, heals their illnesses, and eventually integrates the tribes into one, conquering the Jiuguang Kingdom in one fell swoop. Ultimately, she combines the fame of the Jiuguang Kingdom with the nomadic people in the tribe and builds your own country.
Qin Xuezhen repeated these words verbatim. At this time, Tang Xichen couldn't help but regret that he should have helped Qin Xuezhen become a goddess.
"It turns out that the goddess's mission is helpful at this time. I was really careless!"
Seeing him like this, Qin Xuezhen thought that she was still somewhat useful, so she hurried forward to help him solve the problem.
"Your Highness, there's no need to do that. I still have medical skills. Even if there are any difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be cured, I can seek help from the system. We can't become goddesses here, but we can definitely become goddesses in those small tribes, but it will take some time."
Tang Xicheng nodded. Qin Xuezhen was right. Those nomadic peoples were still uncivilized. No matter what happened, they relied on God's will.
So just use some simple tricks to make them believe that Qin Xue was really sent by God.
At that time, they can still be gathered together, so even without the Iron Cavalry, you can still have a powerful cavalry unit.
"Then let's go to the small tribes of Jiuguang Kingdom right now. If I remember correctly, the court meeting of Yaoguang Kingdom is about to begin. We can use this court meeting to help Jiuguang Kingdom gain control of the mountain. When the time comes, we can destroy Jiuguang Kingdom and the mountain will be ours."
Tangxi City’s idea was good, but unfortunately the second and third princes had already discovered the secret.
Then it even appeared on this mountain, and golden sand was found in a river on the mountain.
"Brother, do you think this is gold?"
The third prince grabbed a handful of sand and scour it in the water, and sure enough, he found one or two gold grains in his palm.
The second prince took a look and found that it was indeed pure gold.
"There's gold in every handful of sand I grab, which shows that this gold mine is indeed rich. We can't lose this mine at any cost. After we resolve the Kang family's affairs, we will return to the palace immediately."
Preparations for returning to the palace have been made, and the emperor on the other side has also received an urgent report from his second son.
"I never thought that the Kang family actually hid a gold mine!"
At this time, the eldest prince was helping his father deal with memorials. It must be said that the ministers under him were really annoying.
One of the ministers submitted three memorials in a row just to tell the emperor that he had lost weight recently.
The eldest prince was so angry that if it weren't for his father's face, he really wanted to scold him in the memorial.
The eldest prince was secretly feeling angry when he suddenly heard the word "gold mine" and was stunned for a moment.
"Father, what gold mine?"
The emperor was already trying to train the eldest prince to become the crown prince, so he handed the memorial directly to him.
The eldest prince hesitated for a moment before taking it and taking a look.
"Gold mine, this Kang family is so bold! Father, could it be that my little sister found this again?"
"Your second brother sent a private message, and it was indeed found based on your younger sister's guess."
The eldest prince laughed foolishly when he heard this.
"My little sister is really amazing, she's really a little auspicious sign!"
When things got to this point, the second prince took advantage of the situation and made a big fuss about it.
That day, Xiyan went out to buy something and inexplicably heard people in the market discussing something.
It is said that the emperor's favored little princess is a symbol of good fortune. Upon learning that Wancheng was in trouble, he specially sent down a golden river so that anyone in need could fish for gold in the river.
Someone actually got it recently!
