It wasn’t until the person who reported left that Jiang Yue lowered her voice and said to Xue Yan, “The Nanrong Kingdom is to the South of Da Ling. Obviously, this is the reason why Shao Zhongxi couldn’t save Qi Yin in his previous life and ended up with injuries.

“However, because Shao Zhongxi was only injured and not dead, the Nanrong Kingdom didn’t dare to attack Da Ling rashly at that time. They were afraid of Shao Zhongxi’s reputation as the War God.

“Since the Nanrong Kingdom had this intention, they would attack Da Ling sooner or later. That’s why Nanrong sent six hundred thousand troops to attack Da Ling when Shao Zhongxi was injured. In addition, Prince Yi was acting behind his back, causing the entire Shao family and the Southern Army to die in battle. This must be the reason why the South was caught in the flames of war.”

“I agree.” Xue Yan nodded, his mood suddenly becoming somewhat heavy. After a pause, he continued, “Although Shao Zhongxi is fine now, and this incident did not happen in advance, many other things have been brought forward. Likely, the Nanrong Kingdom will still attack Da Ling ahead of time. We should make preparations early.”

“We have to make preparations early. When did the Nanrong Kingdom attack Da Ling?”

“In my previous life, when I was twenty-two years old.”

“There’s still time.” Jiang Yue nodded. Shao Zhongxi was still the God of War in the eyes of the people of Da Ling and the other countries. He was still in his prime. Even if the Nanrong Kingdom wanted to attack Da Ling ahead of time, they would not choose to attack it in the next one or two years.

The Nanrong Kingdom would not have sent so many people to assassinate Shao Zhongxi.

“I’ll get people to excavate two gold mines first, specifically for the expenses of mining saltpeter and making gunpowder cannons. We’ll continue to dig deeper if there’s a need in the future.”

Da Ling was now very stable, and the officials were very united. They were all working for the sake of Da Ling and the people. The Southern Army, Northern Army, Western Army, Eastern Army, and Capital Guard Army had 200,000 soldiers each, and a total of one million soldiers were all in his hands. On the day he ascended the throne, his father gave him the Tiger Tally in front of everyone. He also had 3,000 Cloud Guards, which one guard alone could fight against 100 people. In addition, the 100,000 Jingyue Army led by Prince Ying also wholeheartedly supported him as the Emperor and swore to not betray him. No matter who it was, even if they wanted to rebel, they would have to overpower all these battalions.

Even if someone got greedy looking at Da Ling mine for gold, they would not dare to do anything.

Previously, she had talked to him about gold mines, saltpeter mines, gunpowder, cannons, and so on. However, due to the lack of funds in the national treasury at that time, and the gold mines that he knew of were all in other people’s fiefs, it was impossible. Now that Prince Weimin was gone and his fiefs had long been taken back, it was time to mine the gold mines in Prince Weimin’s fiefs.

This was the quickest way to fill up the national treasury — to directly mine gold mines to earn money.

Moreover, the people of Da Ling were opening up more and more land. The high-yield seeds would be bought by the people of every place in Da Ling and planted in the fields. Every year, they would have high returns. In fact, even if there was no gold mine, the national treasury of Da Ling would be rich sooner or later.

“Alright.” Jiang Yue nodded. It didn’t matter how many gold mines they dug. The main thing was to start making gunpowder cannons.

With strong weapons at the border, other countries would not dare to invade Da Ling.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue thought of something. “What do you plan to do with Prince Weimin’s secret passage?”
