The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

The six ministers each carried a food box in their hands and left the palace with a worried look on their faces.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li Jin has sent someone to inquire whether lunch will be served in the Yangxin Palace or the Cining Palace."

Liang Chongyue drank the hot tea without any hesitation.

"We have a lot of things to do today, so Minglang and I won't be there at noon. We can go have dinner with our mother."

After talking about so many things just now, Minglang guessed that the Queen Mother would interrogate him in a while.

She will be leaving soon, and before that, she will probably be busy under the Queen Mother until the last moment.

"Yes, I will reply right away."

Only Liang Chongyue and Minglang were left in the outer hall of the Yangxin Palace.

Minglang consciously presented the records he had made to the Queen Mother.

“I’ve written so much.”

Liang Chongyue flipped through the book while chatting with Minglang.

As for the memorials that have not been reviewed today, they are still piled aside and can only be reviewed slowly when I have time.

"Every word the Queen Mother said was worth learning from, and I wrote a lot without realizing it."

Liang Chongyue chuckled and asked:

"So what do you think of my decision?"

Minglang had already thought about this question during the morning court session today.

"My Queen Mother had already explained the reason to Lord Hu at the beginning. Before that, I just thought that since it was my Queen Mother's idea, it must be a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

But after the Queen Mother explained it to me, I began to think carefully about the pros and cons of this."

Minglang told his mother his thoughts.

"This is just a rough idea I just had, and it's the result of deep thought following the Queen Mother's suggestion."

Liang Chongyue flipped through the handwritten booklet with satisfaction and fully agreed with Minglang's previous remarks.

"You have calculated my purpose yourself, now calculate my plan?"

Minglang didn't hesitate for a moment to guess the Queen Mother's thoughts in front of her.

He simply pulled a chair over from the side and sat opposite the queen mother, his eyes shining like a little fox who had succeeded in his plan.

"Then I'll speak frankly. If I'm wrong, please don't blame me, Queen Mother."

Liang Chongyue raised her eyes and met Minglang's. She became interested and put down the paper in her hand.

Looking at Minglang with great anticipation.

"Ahem, Grandma Empress once told me a story. When the Queen Mother conquered the Northern Imperial City, she stayed in the North for a while and discovered several mineral veins in the North."

The child coughed before she spoke. Liang Chongyue looked at her excited eyes and knew that this was not something she had just thought of.

Minglang must have thought of it when she was discussing government affairs with Lou Xiao and others.

Facing Minglang's gaze that was eager for verification, Liang Chongyue kept a faint smile on his lips and nodded to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

In fact, what happened back then was not exactly as Minglang said. There were some small episodes in between, but it was basically the same as what Minglang said.

"When the Queen Mother discovered such a long and numerous mineral veins, she only assigned the current Duke Dingguo, then the General of the Escort Flag, to guard them, and sent a geomancer to survey them. So far, only two veins have been mined.

They are still quite far away, so I think the Queen Mother wants to slowly develop those two mineral veins so that they can benefit future generations for hundreds of years."

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne and listened slowly, and Minglang was also a little excited at the beginning.

As he spoke, his emotions calmed down.

"The gemstones of the Western Regions are famously beautiful. From ancient times to the present, many merchants from Great Xia have purchased gemstones and spices from the Western Regions and then brought them back to sell."

"But the terrain and environment of the Western Regions are harsh, and every year many caravans are lost in the desert."

"But I think the most important thing is that the mineral veins in the Western Regions are probably no less than those in the Northern Territory. The Queen Mother is very far-sighted, and it must not be just for those few gems and spices."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Liang Chongyue looked at Minglang with satisfaction and laughed out loud.

"Good, good, you are worthy of being my child."

Liang Chongyue directly admitted his true purpose.

If she wanted the gems and spices from the Western Regions, she could just send troops to attack.

If she could take over the entire Western Regions, then everything in the Western Regions would belong to her.

But the environment in the Western Regions was so harsh that she had already had the system detect those mineral veins.

It is so complex and winding underground that if we mine one vein, with the current mining capacity, it will definitely involve several other veins.

If she took it down, she would not be willing to over-exploit because of the innocent people she knew.

If she doesn't fight, she only needs to send troops to garrison.

Mining mineral veins is something that the small countries in the Western Regions need to consider.

Liang Chongyue never thought that he was a good thing, and the real thing was to make the best use of things.

"I sent people to survey the Western Regions a few years ago. The underground mineral veins in the Western Regions are more than a hundred times richer than those in the Northern Territory."

Minglang just thought that the Queen Mother wanted to trade because of the mineral veins and strengthen the alliance with the Western Regions.

I didn't expect that the Western Regions, where the sky is full of yellow sand, have richer mineral veins than the Northern Territory.

"Your Majesty is truly foresighted. I admire you."

The person Minglang admires most since she was a child is her mother. Being the daughter of her mother is the greatest blessing in her life.

There are always people who say that she is studious, ambitious, and talented, and that she inherited her talents from her mother, the Queen.

But fifteen years later, she only feels lucky.

She once thought that no matter who became the Queen Mother's child, they would be unable to help but get closer to her.

Liang Chongyue knew that he had a system like a golden finger in his hand.

In this era, she can easily obtain things that others cannot.

But Minglang didn't have these things, so Liang Chongyue read through all kinds of books and taught Minglang the knowledge in the books.

I just hope she can learn more and work less hard in the future.

"During your travels this time, I hope you will learn while having fun, and experience more of the lives of ordinary people. Only by understanding their hardships can you do things for them."

Only then can Daxia last long, and her daughter can have a smooth life.

Minglang took his mother's words to heart.

"I understand. During this trip, I will definitely see all of Daxia's beautiful landscapes and record all the great achievements that the Queen Mother has made on this vast land in my Miscellaneous Notes."

Minglang paused when he talked about miscellaneous notes.

Rather than writing "Miscellaneous Notes", she wanted to personally compile a "History Book" for her mother.

So that future generations will know how difficult it was for the first empress of Daxia to get to where she is today.

Her mother, the empress, did as much as any of her ancestors to change Daxia.

"Then I'll wait."

Liang Chongyue opened the contents written on the clear paper again and pointed out to her the parts that she had not thought deeply about.

"Here, you are wrong. This is not what I meant."

Minglang looked in the direction of the Queen Mother's finger, her heroic brows slightly furrowed, waiting for the Queen Mother to teach her.

At this time, the first heavy snow in the capital came quietly, dyeing the sky and the earth white.
