No wonder she always felt that the emperor's affection for Lu Zhong was unusual, as he was actually Lu Zhong's biological uncle.

"Tomorrow morning you help me go to Blackwater Village, tell me about the situation here, and ask Yang Chuan to come over in person. I have something to discuss with him."

It was already dark outside at this time. Watching Chang Ping leave, Shen Xinyue put all the jewelry, calligraphy and paintings into the space, leaving only two boxes of gold bars.

The younger sisters are getting older, and the jewelry can be left as a dowry for them. As for the gold bars, they are regarded as a meeting gift for her eldest brother Yang Chuan.

There was no movement in the village all night, and Shen Xinyue guessed that Wang Zhentian was in danger.

Heishui Village, when Yang Chuan heard that Shen Xinyue had taken over Zhentian Village, he followed Chang Ping on horseback without saying a word.

Before the person even got close, he heard his energetic voice: "Second sister, you are really my lucky star!"

Yang Chuan himself did not expect that one day he would be able to enter Zhentian Village in a big way.

"Originally, I came back from the south and wanted to go over to see you. On the way, I heard that Wang Zhentian was actually making a lot of money in the name of suppressing bandits. I thought I couldn't go to see you empty-handed, so I gave you a big gift."

Seeing him come in, Shen Xinyue explained with a smile.

"Are all the brothers in the village okay?"

"There are a few missing, Xiaoliang's arm is gone, and there are more than a dozen injuries that are not serious." Mentioning this, Yang Chuan's mood suddenly dropped a lot.

"The location of Blackwater Village is not good. The terrain of Zhentian Village is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Since I occupy this place, I might as well ask all the brothers to move here."

"Move here?" Yang Chuan refused without thinking.

"I find the place where Wang Zhentian stayed is unlucky. Besides, Heishui Village is a good place to live. Why move here? Just because of the good terrain? I think my hilltop will be more prosperous for me."

"How can your place be compared to this one? Not to mention that the house has collapsed, but think about how many rooms there are in total? Look here again, there are dozens of houses and two granaries. The courtyard walls alone are reinforced. Passed."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Xinyue added: "The most important thing is that I discovered iron ore on this mountain."

Yang Chuan, who had no reaction at first, suddenly raised his head: "Is it true?"

After asking, he felt something was wrong: "No, if there is iron ore on this mountain, then how come Wang Zhentian hasn't discovered it at all since he has been on this mountain for so many years?"

"You don't want to see where his thoughts are spent. It's good to know which way the mountain gate opens. As for the rest, what can he know?"

When Yang Chuan thought about it, it was really true.

However, he was still worried and asked again and again: "Are you really sure there is iron ore in this mountain?"

Shen Xinyue waved her hand impatiently: "Believe it or not, love."

Seeing this, Yang Chuan chuckled and said: "It's not my fault that I am ignorant about such a big thing. Besides, mining in private is a serious crime. If it is discovered, we will have to live with it." "

Shen Xinyue also knows about this matter. Salt and iron have been firmly in the hands of those in power since ancient times.

If he were caught privately, he would be confiscated and exiled, and the nine tribes would be exterminated.

But she has space, and she guarantees that this matter will go unnoticed.

The most important thing is that she has thought of a perfect countermeasure.

"What does mining have to do with us? Don't forget that this is Zhentian Village."

Yang Chuan immediately slapped his forehead: "This matter is settled. When I get back, I will let the brothers move."

Chang Ping soon found out about the discovery of the iron ore, and he also knew Shen Xinyue's plan.

Immediately he broke into a cold sweat.

It was definitely impossible to hide it. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he quickly sent a letter to Lu Chongfei Ge.

When Lu Zhong received the news, he was confused for a long time before tearing up the letter paper.

If Shen Xinyue were by his side at this moment, he would definitely tie her up and beat her ass hard.

But no matter how angry he is, what else can he do to whoever he considers to be his wife, he can only pamper her.

"Prepare your horses and enter the palace."

Li Yuansheng was fishing by the lake when he heard Lu Zhong entering the palace and hurriedly called him over.

"How come you have time to come to the palace to see me today? I heard that you have been so busy recently that you seldom come back to the palace. I don't let you go to the battlefield for fear of putting you in danger. I finally met someone I really like, and I want to get married soon. Give birth to a child..."

Li Yuan Sheng was talking nonchalantly, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhong suddenly knelt down.

"I will definitely go to guard the border."

Li Yuan Sheng was stunned by his sudden move, and then came over to pull him up: "Why do you want to lead the troops again? But what happened? I finally managed to explain things, why are you so stubborn? I don't If you agree, just stay calm and stay in the capital for me, and when I choose an auspicious day, I will issue a decree for you and Mrs. Shen to get married."

Now he doesn't care so much anymore. Although Shen's background is lower, he is the descendant of Yaowang Valley after all, so he can barely make sense.

The most important thing is that this is the first time in the past twenty years that a woman can capture Lu Zhong's heart.

"Ms. Shen made a mistake. Although she hasn't married yet, I have already decided that she is my wife. If she makes a mistake, I have to bear it. Instead of waiting for others to join in, I voluntarily plead guilty and go to guard the border."

When he heard that this was the case, Li Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He helped the person up and turned around to get the fishing rod: "What kind of mistakes can she make as a little lady? Tell her and listen. It's not harmful. I'll give her a clean slate."

"Bandits are rampant in Yangping County. In addition, the county magistrate and the largest group of bandits in the area use the name of suppressing bandits to burn, kill and loot at will. The people are suffering miserably. Xinyue heard about this on her way back. Her character is extremely Impulsive, coupled with your love and righteousness, after seeing His Majesty last time, she felt that you were very amiable and a good emperor."

Li Yuan Sheng found it very helpful.

"Yes, Mrs. Shen is a good girl."

"How could she allow someone to do such a thing under your rule? So she led people to destroy the bandits' den."

"This..." Li Yuansheng stopped what he was doing, turned his head and asked in disbelief: "She, a little girl, wiped out that group of bandits?"

"I heard that it has become so popular that I have two to three hundred people under my command."

Li Yuansheng was completely shocked now.

Lu Zhong lowered his eyelids: "Although she knew there was danger, she still did it, saying that since she wanted to marry me, she and Your Majesty would be a family from now on. Your Majesty, you love the people like your own children, and she would do her best to help the people nearby." People do something."

"Okay, he is really a good boy."

At this moment, Shen Xinyue felt in Li Yuansheng's heart that such a child's quality was the most rare thing for the royal family.

He was indeed right, this was a perfect match for his nephew.
