Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Yuelan was very clear about Yuan Shutong’s value to the rulers of this era.
A person who could detect mountains of gold and silver was worth an entire army.
It would have been better if Yuan Shutong’s man had been from Longyan Country.
The problem now was that the man Yuan Shutong was from a noble family on the Southern Border.
To the people of other countries, the Southern Region was a mysterious place, especially because of the mysterious witchcraft and voodoo techniques of the Southern Region. Other than being mysterious, they were also a little afraid of them.
Yuwen Longyan had been in power for 40 years. He had once interacted with a leader of a tribe on the southern border. He had personally seen one of the leader’s subordinates put a bug into a criminal’s mouth as punishment. Then, he instantly cried out in pain. After a moment, all that was left was a piece of skin, not even a bone or a drop of blood.
Even after decades, he was still terrified by this scene.
The Black Cloud Country might have the ambition to dominate the world and unify the country, but they were naturally afraid of the Southern Border countries. Before they could unify the country, they didn’t dare to offend the Southern Border.
Other than being mysterious, Southern Border was also poor.
If they weren’t poor, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to dominate the world with their strange methods and unfathomable abilities.
However, poverty limited their mobility.
This was because they did not have enough money and food to feed an army that travelled thousands of miles. In addition, there were differences between regions. It was very likely that they would be destroyed before they reached other countries.
But at the same time, other countries should not invade them.
As long as any country’s army stepped into the southern region, they would definitely not be able to return.
This was not something that had ever happened before in history.
Thus, any country would be wary of the Southern Border.
Of course, Southern Border could only stay in their own country.
Now, Yuwen Longyan suddenly heard that Yuan Shutong was in love with a member of the Southern Border’s aristocratic family, and he immediately felt wary.
If Yuan Shutong were just an ordinary woman, it would be fine. To them, they were not afraid of any threat.
However, Yuan Shutong had the ability to find gold, silver, and iron ores, and the man she found was from a noble family on the southern border.
If Yuan Shutong had helped them find these things, then Southern Border’s ambition to dominate the world might have been out of control.
Therefore, as the ruler, he had to consider the entire situation.
Hearing the Emperor’s doubts, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had also considered this problem before coming.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Old Emperor, do you remember that metal detector?”
Yuwen Longyan furrowed his brows and asked in confusion,” Are you talking about the metal detector in the palace treasury?”
Lin Yuelan nodded and replied,” That’s right!”
” What does this have to do with Yuan Shutong’s search for resources?” The Emperor asked in confusion.
“It’s very much related.” Lin Yuelan nodded and replied,” Because Mother has to use metal detectors to find mineral resources!”
Yuwen Longyan was a little confused.” Is what you said true?”
“Absolutely!” Lin Yuelan didn’t hide anything.” However, to use that thing, you’ll need gasoline or batteries. Otherwise, it’s no different from trash. As for mother, no matter how capable she is, without that thing, she won’t be able to find gold or silver ores.”
Lin Yuelan had explained the metal detector to Yuwen Longyan before.
When Yuwen Longyan heard that this thing could no longer be used, he felt quite regretful.
After all, he knew that Yuan Shutong had found a gold mine and an iron mine in Longyan Country with the help of this thing.
Yuwen Longyan looked at Lin Yuelan suspiciously and asked,” Girl, is what you said true?”
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes helplessly and continued,” Old Emperor, when have I ever lied to you?” Then, she explained,” Although people need strong professional knowledge to find these metal mineral resources, they have to go to various places to find them. They have to use professional tools. Without the tools, it would be very difficult for a single person to determine if there is a mountain of gold or silver here.”
She paused for a moment and looked at Yuwen Longyan.” Besides, mother is already over 50 years old. She doesn’t have any extra energy to run around.”
