Translator: Lonelytree

The moment Lin Yuelan finished speaking, all the officials were truly shocked beyond words.

It turned out that the princess and the general were really mining the two mines, but not in private. It was with the emperor’s knowledge and consent.

Everyone looked at His Majesty, wanting to know the answer from him.

His Majesty nodded and said,” The girl is right. From the moment they found out about these two mines, they had already reported to me.”

His sharp eyes swept across the civil and military officials above him. He continued, “These two mines were discovered by Minister Jiangs mother, Madam Yuan.’

Other than Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, everyone else was surprised and astonished.

However, before they could say anything, the Emperor’s expression was solemn and respectful. He sighed softly and said,” Madam Yuan is truly a woman of her generation. It’s just a pity!’

The Emperor truly admired Jiang Zhennan’s mother, Yuan Shutong. She was a weak woman, but she was braver than all men. She had done many things that men could not do. She had climbed mountains and waded through rivers with a tool and explored two mines, one gold mine and one iron mine. She had made great contributions to Longyan Country.

It was just that Madam Yuan was blind and fell in love with a fickle man like Jiang Yunfeng. This caused her to become a stumbling block for others and fall into a tragic end.

When everyone heard that the gold and iron mines were actually explored by Jiang Zhennan’s mother, they were instantly surprised.

Before this, they knew that Jiang Zhennan’s mother was a woman who had died of bleeding during childbirth because of Jiang Zhennan.

However, most people thought that the woman was an orphan of unknown origins and was not worthy of the heir of the Duke’s estate, Jiang Yunfeng. Therefore, even if she gave birth to the eldest son, she would only receive disdain and contempt from the noble ladies in the upper-class aristocratic circle.

No one felt pity or pity for her death. Instead, they felt that her ending was only natural.

This was because she had no background and no identity. She was a woman that others did not care about at all. It seemed that it was natural for her to end up like this.

However, no one had expected that an orphan girl with no background would be able to find a gold mine and an iron mine, such a huge and precious wealth for the Longyan Dynasty.

If she was still alive, she would be able to obtain the title of a first-grade imperial madam.

Just as everyone was shocked by the source of the two ore mines, Lin Yuelan’s clear voice sounded again.

She took the rattan and rolled it together. She scanned the expressions and eyes of the people present and said,” Regarding the mining of the two mines, I have already obtained His Majesty’s permission. The gold and iron mined have already been returned to the national treasury and the army.”

After saying that, she raised her hand and clapped three times.

A moment later, a man walked into the throne room with a few ledger-like items.

After he kowtowed to the Emperor, he knelt down before Lin Yuelan and said,”

Master, the account books are all here!”

Hearing the account book mentioned by this man, everyone was shocked again.

Looking at the dozen account books in his hands, everyone had a vague guess in their minds.

Could it be…

Lin Yuelan took the account book from him and flipped through it. Then, she raised it up and said to the officials,” Sirs, regarding the mining situation and progress of the two mines, I’ve already gotten someone to record everything in this account book.”

When Lin Yuelan said this, she nodded at her subordinates.

Lin Xuling understood and immediately raised the account book in front of the Emperor.

The Emperor picked out a book and casually flipped through it. Then, he said,” My dear ministers, take a look too!”

Lin Xuling distributed the account book in his hands to a few important ministers.

The crown prince, the eldest grandprince, Prime Minister Chen, Duke Guo, and the other important officials took the account book from Lin Xuling and flipped through it carefully. Their eyes widened in shock.

Lin Yuelan continued,” These account books record the daily mining situation, the mining area, the manpower invested, the money invested, and other resources. Also, during the smelting process, it also consumes manpower, money, and so on.”

What surprised everyone was that the records were very detailed. Even the thin needles that they needed to purchase in their daily lives were recorded..
