Eunuch Huang spoke in a high-pitched voice, and King Qi, his army, Bi Yue, and Duke Sun all knelt down.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the King of Qi had made great achievements in fighting against the Beirong people..."
With a crackle of praise, King Qi was given a lot of rewards.
King Qi was overjoyed. This time, his military success was indeed on the right track.
He thanked Long for his kindness, stood up and took the imperial edict. Just as he was about to exchange a few words with Eunuch Huang, Eunuch Huang took out another imperial edict.
This imperial edict was awarded to Bi Yue, because Bi Yue had never left King Xiao Li and had a deep affection for him. The emperor was deeply moved and specially gave the Yutou Mountain on the southern line of Beidi to Princess Bi Yue.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, the expressions of both King Qi and Duke Sun became extremely subtle.
Although Yutou Mountain is just a mountain, it produces Nuantian jade, which is famous throughout Tianjing Kingdom.
The key point is that Yutou Mountain is in the Northland. Strictly speaking, it is a mountain within the fiefdom of King Xiaoli in the Northland.
In this way, it was assigned to Princess Biyue.
Bi Yue was immediately overjoyed. She accepted the imperial edict and acted coquettishly at Eunuch Huang.
"Your Majesty loves me the most."
A jade mine made Bi Yue extremely excited. Although she was already very wealthy, her wealth came from the eldest princess, and Bi Yue never had any assets of her own.
Now with the jade mine given by His Majesty, her wealth is even greater than that of many princes.
Holding the imperial edict, Bi Yue looked at King Qi again with a matter-of-fact look on his face.
"Uncle Wang, give Bi Yue some soldiers. Bi Yue wants to see what Yutou Mountain looks like."
King Qi forced out an ugly smile and was about to say something sinister to her.
Why, when he came back after performing military exploits, he was rewarded with some items, and Bi Yue was able to get a jade mine just because of his "deep affection" for Li Yunqing!
It simply makes no sense.
King Qi was extremely unbalanced.
But seeing Eunuch Huang present, King Qi couldn't bear to make Bi Yue look ugly in front of Eunuch Huang. Otherwise, if his father knew about it, he would be scolded again.
He can only restrain his inner imbalance,
"Of course, whenever you want to see your Yutou Mountain, just tell Uncle Wang and he will take you there."
Sun Guogong next to him laughed inexplicably,
"The location of Yutou Mountain is wonderful. It is located in the north. I wonder if King Xiaoli is willing to give the mountain on his fiefdom to Princess Biyue, so His Highness King Qi should bring more royal troops there.
Just in case something unexpected happens.”
Eunuch Huang flicked his sleeves with a smile on his face,
"Speaking of which, Princess Biyue and His Highness Prince Xiao Li will become a family sooner or later. It is just a Yutou Mountain. As long as Princess Biyue enters Prince Li's Mansion, does this mountain belong to the princess and is it in the Northland?
What does it matter?"
These words made Princess Biyue blush with embarrassment. Yes, if brother Yunqing is reluctant to part with the jade mine and marries her back, wouldn't what is hers become his?
What's his is also hers.
They are husband and wife, should they still be separated from each other?
Sun Guogong's expression was unclear, but King Qi's expression was filled with mixed emotions.
Fortunately, when Bi Yue enters Prince Li's Mansion, Hua Jin will be ignored by Li Yunqing. Then King Qi will come forward at the right time, and he will not be afraid that Hua Jin will not fall into his arms.
The worrying thing is that the prince has been secretly mining the jade mine in Yutou Mountain. The eldest princess and the prince are the same mother.
Now that the father has given Yutou Mountain to Bi Yue, isn't he actually giving Yutou Mountain to the prince in disguise?
The news quickly spread to the defense barracks opposite.
Hua Jin, who was practicing archery with his bow, was stunned when the tip of the arrow deflected and the sharp arrow missed the target.
There was a cold light in her phoenix eyes, and she asked Lian'er behind her,
"Is the news confirmed?"
"Empress, this is the news that came from King Qi's army camp. It is absolutely true."
The Beggar Clan's business has been developing extensively recently, and anyone who gives information to Ergouzi can receive a reward from Ergouzi, the leader of the Beggar Clan.
Therefore, even in the King of Qi's army, there were people who wanted to make extra money. As soon as Eunuch Huang's imperial decree came out, someone sent the news out of the military camp.
When Er Gouzi was away, Lian'er compiled all the information and prioritized it before sending it to Hua Jin.
This seems to have formed a mature intelligence chain, and it has begun to expand from the north to Guqi Prefecture.
Hua Jin smashed the bow in her hand on the ground, Mingyan's face turned cold.
"If I don't show off my power, these people will treat me as a sick cat, right? Come on, go to Yutou Mountain!"
"My land, my mountains, my jade mines, even if the emperor comes, I can't take them away!!!"
There is no respect or inferiority in her concept. If there really is respect and inferiority, then the strong will be respected.
The city guard quickly broke out of camp and set up camp at the foot of Yutou Mountain overnight.
What's more, Hua Jin directly summoned all the officials from the Ministry of Works in the North. She sat in the royal tent and looked at these Northland officials wearing official uniforms with anger in her eyes.
"I have called you here urgently because I want you to think of a way to build a building for me so that Yutou Mountain can be seen and inaccessible."
Officials from the Ministry of Industry, look at me and I look at you. One of the strong, dark-faced men stood up, bowed and asked,
"My dear, can you explain more clearly what it means to be able to see but not to enter, and whether to be able to enter or not?"
Most of these Ministry of Industry officials come from the bottom of society. Many of them were only engaged in construction-related occupations and did not have much education.
There are even many craftsmen who are very clever and even know a few words, but they are selected by Hua Jin to serve as officials in the Ministry of Industry.
Hua Jin stood up and stood with her hands behind her back,
"To put it simply, it's four words: 'Those who trespass will die', do you understand?"
An official nearby shouted:
"Mason, sit down, I have something to say!"
The rule of being an official is that when you have a meeting with your superior, you have to speak one by one and express your opinions one by one.
It is said that this is how you look respectful.
So many people urged the dark-skinned man who was born as a mason to sit down quickly.
As soon as he sat down, someone immediately stood up first.
"Mother, do you want our Ministry of Industry to build a Great Wall to surround Yutou Mountain?"
"Mother, are there going to be troops stationed on the Great Wall?"
"It's best to build some defense projects. Yutou Mountain is not big. Let's move faster and recruit more workers. It can be completed within ten days."
Lian'er, who was standing behind Hua Jin, looked surprised. She murmured in a low voice,
"Building the Great Wall in ten days to surround a mountain? How can this be done?"
"Is there anything that can't be done? It can be done with proper coordination, but I don't want the Great Wall. I want to build an ecological tiger breeding factory, surrounding Yutou Mountain, and I want to raise tigers in it!"
Everyone looked stern and thought to themselves: The princess is really domineering, and she wants to raise wild beasts as soon as she opens her mouth. Although these wild beasts are raised at the foot of the mountain, when they are finally raised, they will run all over the mountains and fields.
Even if the emperor gave Yutou Mountain to Bi Yue, would Bi Yue dare to go up the mountain to mine jade?
Wu Tian also looked at Hua Jin with admiration. The empress was still the empress, and her ruthlessness was unmatched by ordinary women.
Who would have thought, Hua Jin would have a smile on her face,
"It's good to raise tigers. Tiger skins, tiger tails, tiger whips, tiger bones...the whole body of a tiger is a treasure and can be sold for a lot of money. From now on, we will follow this process. All around the famous mineral veins,
Raise ferocious animals, including tigers and snakes, and I will see who dares to take advantage of these mineral veins."
Everyone was speechless. Did it turn out that the princess was a money addict?
