"Is this river... the Canglan River?" Xiao Lingyue asked, pointing to the river.
"Yes." The prince nodded.
"If I remember correctly, the Canglan River is one of the largest rivers in Northern Qin. It has dangerous water conditions. It borders Dong Qi in the east, Wei in the south, and runs through Northern Qin in the middle."
Xiao Lingyue frowned and said: "Generally speaking, where such a large river passes, the soil quality of the nearby mountains will be affected, and it is not the most suitable location for building an imperial mausoleum... How could your majesty put your emperor's mausoleum in such a place?"
Is the tomb located next to the Canglan River?"
The prince said: "My father likes the Canglan River. He once said that it is the most majestic river in the Northern Qin Dynasty with its mighty water and magnificent waves. Therefore, he tried his best to set his imperial mausoleum in a location overlooking the Canglan River.
The location will allow you to overlook the river a hundred years from now."
Xiao Lingyue couldn't/understand.
As a modern person, she only feels that death is like a lamp going out.
It doesn't matter what kind of mausoleum it is, it's just a pile of bones in the end, and no one can escape.
But the prince obviously didn't think so.
Even Zhan Beihan didn't have any objections to these words.
After roughly figuring out the location of the Royal Courtyard and the Imperial Mausoleum, the prince put away the territory map, put it back in the box, and gave it to Zhan Beihan.
"Miss Shen, do you have any ideas? Which of these two places do you think is more likely?"
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "I can't say for sure."
From the map, the locations of the Royal Villa and the Imperial Tomb each have their own advantages.
One is closer to the capital, making it easier to transfer.
The other is far away and out of the way, making it easier to hide traces.
Xiao Lingyue was not sure for a while which place the bandits in Hulang Mountain would choose as the target for smuggling iron ore. It seemed that both places were possible, and there was not much difference.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only use the most troublesome method to check all the wood and stone raw materials sent to these two locations. It is better to kill them by mistake than to misplace them!" Xiao Lingyue said coldly.
The prince nodded: "Miss Shen and I have gone to the same place."
The iron ore smuggling route must be clearly investigated. No matter how much time is spent, even if it is to alert the snake, this route must be uprooted!
Otherwise, Northern Qin will continue to suffer losses in the future.
Xiao Lingyue said: "Have you found any other clues during your two days of investigation at the Ministry of Industry?"
Prince: "There are no clues yet, but there is another thing."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
"It just happened to be the end of the month recently. As usual, there is a large amount of wood and stone raw materials to be transported out of Beijing in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry in the past two days."
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly: "I thought this was an opportunity, so I secretly sent someone to intercept this batch of raw materials quietly, intending to check it carefully to see if there is anything fishy."
Xiao Lingyue's eyes lit up: "Has it been intercepted? Didn't the Ministry of Industry notice it?"
Prince: "I specially asked people to avoid the Ministry of Industry and took over it from the soldiers who were transporting it, so no one discovered it."
"So, as long as we thoroughly check this batch of raw materials, we will know whether our speculation is correct. If we really find a problem, as long as we know where it is sent, we can find out the smuggling route of the bandits.
"
Xiao Lingyue understood: "Your Highness, where are these raw materials now?"
"In a valley outside the capital, I borrowed two teams of Dragon Scale Guards from Beihan. They will be guarding them for now. If there is no problem, I will hand them over to the soldiers as they are and continue transporting them." The prince looked at the warriors who came out of the study.
Northern Cold.
"It turns out that you asked me to borrow troops yesterday for this matter!" Zhan Beihan heard the conversation between the two.
"The nights are long and there are many dreams. In order not to alarm people from the Ministry of Industry, this batch of raw materials must be inspected as soon as possible."
The prince asked: "I and Miss Shen must go there in person. What about you, third brother? Do you want to go and see it together?" This chapter has been completed!
