"Sister, what do you think we should do?"

Zhan Wuhui was also in a dilemma. If he didn't bring enough people, they would be blamed if anything happened to the prince.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and said, "Choose some experts and have them follow us secretly. We will let them show up once we are in the forest."

There was no other way. If she didn't let them show up and follow her, she was afraid that these people would get lost in the woods.

Zhan Wuhui thought this was fine, so he hurried down to make arrangements.

Mu Yunyao asked the prince to wait for her in the front yard first, and she went back to the house to change into light clothes.

By the time she got there, Zhan Wuhui had already made rearrangements.

The number of people was reduced from two hundred to fifty, but each of them was an expert at fighting one against a hundred.

Sure enough, as they expected, there were indeed some abnormal people outside the general's mansion, and Zhan Wuhui took the opportunity to have a number of spies caught.

He left these people to Wei Qingshen and continued to accompany the prince into the mountains.

When the prince actually saw the mineral vein, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

This magnetite vein is larger than they imagined. They have been exploring for nearly ten days and still haven't reached the end.

When the people from the Ministry of Industry saw the magnetite, they were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

"Your Highness, the iron content of this ore is too high. I have never seen such an extreme iron ore."

The prince was naturally happy to receive recognition from these people.

However, he was troubled by the problem of mining such a large iron mine.

"Yunxi, how do you think we should mine this iron mine so as not to attract the covetousness of others?"

Mu Yunyao had actually thought about this question, and when she heard the prince ask this, she spoke up.

"If Your Majesty wants to mine it without anyone noticing, it won't be difficult."

“Oh, how to do it?”

When the prince heard her words, his eyebrows almost raised to the sky with joy, and he hurriedly asked.

"What good ideas does Yunxi have?"

"Use local materials and smelt them locally, then use the Southwest Army and the North Zhen Army to conduct drills and escort them back to the capital."

When the prince heard this, he suddenly understood.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Then he thought of something and asked, "I know about the change of defense, but what is this drill?"

"The Southwest Army and the Zhenbei Army are both powerful frontier defense forces of Daqi, so it is not normal for them to compete with each other from time to time.

This is also to test their training results.

There is no need for them all to go out. It would be better if we could just select 5,000 or 10,000 soldiers from the army to go to the capital for the duel, and then go to the other side's army to learn. "

After hearing Mu Yunyao's explanation, the prince could no longer conceal his excitement. If Mu Yunyao wasn't a girl, he would have wanted to pick her up and spin her around.

How is her brain structured? How can she be so beautiful and so smart?

This will not only allow the two garrisons to understand each other but also stimulate their fighting spirit.

The most important thing is that when the number of people is small, foreign countries will not be given an opportunity to take advantage, and it will have little impact on the war situation. It can also effectively prevent some generals from turning the army of Da Qi into his own army.

So as to avoid fostering the ambitions of those who hold military power.

Others may not be able to see the long-term benefits of this, but he is the crown prince of Da Qi and the future successor to the emperor. He knows very well what doing so can bring him.

The prince's heart was excited and his hands were shaking. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.

When he finally calmed down, he started to have trouble again.

"How many people would be needed to mine such a large mine quietly?

How can we not let the miners stay away from home forever?"

Just now those people from the Ministry of Industry said that a mine this big may not be fully mined even if they spend twenty years digging.

Where could he find miners who wouldn't have to go back for twenty years?

Mu Yunyao remembered that in her previous life, the King of Southwest had people kidnap a whole town of people to work as miners.

The imperial court certainly cannot do this.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and said, "I do have an idea, which is to make some troubles clear."

"What's the idea?"

When the prince heard that she had a solution, he immediately had an idea.

He just felt that the method Mu Yunyao suggested would definitely solve the current problem.

"Don't every county, state, and prefecture have a lot of criminals every year? Anyone with a sentence of more than 20 years can be exiled here, and prisoners on the battlefield who no one is willing to redeem can also come in."

The prince seemed to have been enlightened by someone. He felt extremely clear-headed at this moment.

Instead of feeding those people and wasting food, it is better to make full use of it.

It has to be said that this is similar to the work-for-relief policy she proposed before. Why didn't he think of it before?

As the prince was annoyed, his gaze towards Mu Yunyao became even more ardent.

Zhan Wuhui was so frightened that he quickly stood in front of Mu Yunyao to block the prince's gaze.

The prince touched his nose and felt that he was being a little rude.

But he really had no other thoughts about Mu Yunyao.

He just had an urge to become sworn brothers with her.

To be honest, he was a little jealous of Zhan Wuhui.

He got such a sister for nothing, God knows how much he wishes Mu Yunyao was his real sister.

Mu Yunyao had no idea what the prince was thinking. After she finished her work, she had almost finished picking all the dragon heart grass.

Just as they were discussing going down the mountain the next day, there was lightning and thunder in the middle of the night, followed by the sound of swords and horses.

The people around the prince were all on high alert, but Mu Yunyao calmly put on her raincoat and left the camp. Zhan Wuhui didn't understand why, but followed her anyway.

Mu Yunyao found a relatively high earth slope and stood on it, then pointed at the very smooth stone wall.

At this time, the prince followed despite the guards' obstruction and just happened to see the direction she pointed.

My jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

"Is this the Yin soldiers borrowing the road?"

He was not so much afraid as he was surprised.

Mu Yunyao shook her head. "There is no such thing as ghost soldiers borrowing the road. It's just a natural phenomenon."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of someone.

"Brother, I asked someone to send Chu Li'er over here. Is she here yet?"

Zhan Wuhui didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, but he still replied honestly.

"Here we are. I have someone locked up in the dungeon."

He didn't know how this woman had offended his sister, but since his sister had handed the person over to him, he naturally had to keep an eye on her.

"Who is Chu Li'er?"

The prince felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Mu Yunyao did not hide it from her. This was probably the last time Chu Li could play her role.

Mu Yunyao said directly, "She is the adopted daughter of the King of Southwest, and also a spy trained by him. She was sent to Mu Junsheng before, but I later discovered her identity and locked her up.

Later I found out that she knew a lot of unknown things, so I put her in Zhuangzi and listened to her say that she was from some future generation. I wondered if there was a better way to smelt iron in the future, so I had her sent here. If the prince is interested, I can teach her to you.
