You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Aren't they just a few mines? Sister Min can just give them to the imperial court, so they don't have to put pressure on you all the time..."

Du Qingwan raised her eyes and smiled, looking very confident.

Upon hearing this, Ke Minmin was surprised and her eyes widened subconsciously.

"Miss Du, don't say that. The people of southern Yunnan all depend on this mine for their survival.

If it is given to the imperial court, then what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in southern Yunnan?"

At this moment, Ke Zhenyu's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, and it was extremely cold.

It can be heard that he strongly disagrees with Du Qingwan's idea.

Ke Minmin felt the same and looked at Du Qingwan in confusion.

"Yes, Sister Qingwan, what my brother said is right.

These mines in southern Yunnan were all discovered and mined by ourselves, and we pay a lot of tribute to the imperial court every year.

If the mines are handed over, the people in southern Yunnan will have no way to survive.”

Thinking that Du Qingwan didn't understand the inside story, Ke Minmin quickly added, her eyes full of anger.

But Du Qingwan could actually understand the concerns of the siblings. She just smiled calmly and said slowly:

“Sister Min, Brother Zhenyu, you misunderstood.

What I mean is that you can give some of the existing mines to the court, and then dig other mines in secret."

"This way, the court will no longer embarrass you."

This is what Du Qingwan thought in her heart, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a hint of ambiguous pride.

In her opinion, mining gold and silver mines was not a particularly difficult task at all and could be done easily.

[I never thought that my knowledge as a graduate student in geology would be useful in ancient times!]

[I don’t know how to identify where there are mines, but I have studied a lot of geological information, so I know where the minerals in the entire southern Yunnan province are distributed!]

[According to this logic, if I just point my finger at anything, wouldn’t southern Yunnan be filled with mountains of gold and silver?]

"It's not easy to discover a new mine. Miss Du, don't joke with me."

Ke Zhenyu naturally couldn't understand what Du Qingwan meant, and immediately gave a helpless smile.

Ke Minmin also felt that Du Qingwan was daydreaming and taking things for granted.

But in order to avoid embarrassing Du Qingwan, Ke Minmin quickly winked at her brother Ke Zhenyu, signaling him to stop saying anything.

Ke Zhenyu naturally listened to his sister and shut up immediately.

Seeing this, Du Qingwan couldn't help but chuckle and said proudly:

"You don't have that technology, but I do!"

After Du Qingwan finished speaking, she glanced at Ke Minmin with a smile, and finally her gaze fell on the shocked Ke Zhenyu.

After a moment, Ke Minmin came back to her senses:

"What? Sister Qingwan, you actually have the technology to excavate gold and silver mines?"

Ke Minmin had heard a long time ago that Queen Daye was both a woman of letters who could bring peace to the world and a woman of martial arts who could decide the fate of the world on horseback.

Du Qingwan is proficient in poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, and even laser guns and mortars.

Ke Minmin couldn't help but admire him.

But she believes that the mineral excavation technology of the Tusi Mansion in southern Yunnan is a unique skill, and almost no one in the whole Daye can match it.

Now hearing what Du Qingwan said, Ke Minmin and Ke Zhenyu were both at a loss for what to do.

"Of course! Well, you saved me last night.

In order to repay you for saving my life, how about I give you a few gold mines?"

Du Qingwan looked at Ke Minmin, who had a confused look on her face, with a smile on her face, which seemed quite amusing.

Ke Minmin was a little bit unbelieving, but still nodded and smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Ke Zhenyu, who was standing by, was stunned.

He never thought that his elder sister, who was always extremely smart, would actually believe Du Qingwan's joking words.

"But, Sister, Miss Du, is this...really possible?"

Ke Zhenyu still found it unbelievable and hurriedly asked, his face full of suspicion.

"We both know about Sister Qingwan's great achievements in Yecheng. Whether it works or not, we should give it a try, right?"

Ke Minmin didn't care. She smiled and patted Ke Zhenyu's arm, her face full of joy.

Inexplicably, she chose to believe Du Qingwan without any reason.

So, Ke Zhenyu didn't say anything else, just smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'll listen to my sister and Miss Du. Miss Du, we're going to go out to explore the mines tomorrow. Do you need us to prepare anything in advance? Like tools?"

Ke Zhenyu is indeed worthy of being Ke Minmin's good assistant.

Normally, whenever the Tusi Mansion discovered gold and silver mines, Ke Zhenyu would find ways to help them solve the problems of mining tools and personnel.

Tomorrow Du Qingwan will take two people out to prospect for minerals. Although Ke Zhenyu can't be of much use, he can still arrange the tools and personnel in advance.

"Yes, yes. Zhenyu has always been in charge of the mining tools and personnel.

Sister Qingwan, if you need anything, just tell him. "

As soon as Ke Zhenyu finished speaking, Ke Minmin quickly echoed him with a smile on her face.

Ke Minmin trusts her younger brother Ke Zhenyu very much, so she has always spoiled him.

Who would have thought that Du Qingwan would smile calmly and wave her hand:

“I really don’t need these things.”

"What? You can mine gold and silver without any tools?

Sister Qingwan, you are not kidding us, right? "

Seeing Du Qingwan's calm and composed appearance, Ke Minmin suddenly lost her composure and couldn't help but ask again.

Du Qingwan just coughed twice and continued calmly:

"If we really need to prepare something, please prepare a detailed topographic map of the entire southern Yunnan province for me!

Remember, the more detailed the better. It would be best if you could even draw a small village.”

"Wait until tomorrow, and I will tell you where the gold mine is and where the silver mine is."

Du Qingwan finished her words with a smile, looking very confident, and it didn't sound like she was joking at all.

"Okay! I'll get ready right away! Whether we can win this game depends on you, Miss Du, tomorrow! Haha..."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Du Qingwan so confident, Ke Zhenyu suddenly felt more open-minded and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ke Minmin and Du Qingwan looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When it comes to the mining of gold and silver mines, Ke Zhenyu's efficiency is naturally very high. By the evening, he had drawn up a topographic map of the entire province of southern Yunnan and handed it to Du Qingwan.

Du Qingwan did not hesitate and immediately circled several places on the map, clearly indicating where the gold and silver mines were.

next day

When Du Qingwan got up, Ke Minmin had already led a group of people from the Tusi Mansion and rushed to the place Du Qingwan indicated.

Near noon, Ke Minmin returned home extremely excited.

"Sister Qingwan, you are so amazing! We have discovered three gold mines in just one morning!"

Ke Minmin couldn't wait to share her results with Du Qingwan, and her eyebrows were curved with smile.

Hearing this, Du Qingwan just waved her hand and smiled awkwardly:

"As long as Sister Min is happy, I'm fine. I'm just being casual."

Du Qingwan spoke so nonchalantly that she really did not think she had made any great contribution to the Tusi Mansion in southern Yunnan.

But Ke Minmin didn't think so. She immediately put her arm around her shoulders and said with a smile:

"Sister Qingwan, you are too modest! You are the lucky star of the people in southern Yunnan. The door of our Tusi Mansion in southern Yunnan is always open to you!"

"Sister Qingwan, as long as you say a word, our Tusi Mansion in Southern Yunnan will do our best to help you overcome any difficulties!"

Du Qingwan never dreamed that Ke Minmin would speak like this. She was suddenly moved.
