"Young Master, there is a letter from Anyang." Song Xing handed a thick letter to Li Xian; the letter was extremely thick, almost like a book.
Li Xian opened it and found four small envelopes inside the big envelope.
The first letter was from Xia Qingqing, only one page long, stating that everything was fine and the negotiations had ended successfully; the dumping plan was about to be launched.
The second letter was from Xu Ren, also only one page: We have dug out Yan Ze'an, the prime minister of the State of Cai, and Yan Zhengqing, one of the generals.
Li Xian was delighted when he saw this, "This isn't poaching, this is simply moving a Great Wall here! Mr. Xu is really talented!"
Below is Yan Ze'an's letter, which is like a book. The letter describes in detail the current problems of Anyang and its future development, and Yan Ze'an asks Li Xian for advice on the development of industry and commerce. Li Xian spent a whole day reading Yan Ze'an's letter.
Finally, there is a letter, only two pages long, signed jointly by Yan Ze'an, Yan Zhengqing and Xu Ren, asking Li Xian for his views on the war and his ideas on the future development of Anyang.
It took Li Xian five days to write his reply.
Watching Song Xing leave, Li Xian rubbed his sore wrist. "He is indeed a prime minister. All the questions he asked hit the nail on the head. I haven't thought of many of them. Haha, now I can finally be at ease and be a hands-off manager! Well, let's go check out the progress of the imperial mausoleum in the past few days."
The progress of the imperial mausoleum was very good. With the help of gunpowder, the excavation of the mountain was particularly fast. Magic could not be used in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but magic could be used to move sundries. With the help of gunpowder and magic, the excavation of the new cave was already impressive in less than half a month.
The location chosen this time was good. The depth of the cave entrance was deeper than before, and we did not encounter the so-called "turbid air".
After two more days of digging, when the depth of the cave entrance was already below the ground level, Ge Zhengfeng finally nodded, "The depth is enough. Next we need to dig the stone chamber and build an underground imperial mausoleum. Does Master Li have any suggestions?"
Li Xian knocked on the surrounding rock wall and said, "This is a very hard rock. We can definitely dig out an underground imperial city. Mr. Ge, how about we just copy the imperial city here? With the help of gunpowder, we should be able to complete it within two years!"
"Yes, that's a good idea! This way, it will surely surpass all the known imperial tombs in Yingzhou! However, this still requires the emperor's consent and the dispatch of royal craftsmen. I will write a letter immediately."
Ge Zhengfeng wrote a letter and immediately sent someone to deliver it to the imperial city; the imperial mausoleum was also not idle, continuing some basic work, such as building steps.
When Ge Zhengfeng's letter was delivered to Wuyang, a team from the State of Cai also slowly drove into the imperial city.
"Cai Guo, Ye Mingquan, pays respect to His Majesty of Daxia. I heard that His Majesty is in poor health, so His Majesty has sent a foreign minister to bring greetings and three hundred-year-old snow ginsengs."
The Great Xia Emperor replied casually: "I have received your kindness. Come, escort the Northern Kingdom's envoy out of the city."
Ye Mingquan didn't even have time to rest before he was taken out of Wuyang City and returned to Cai State. During his return to Cai State, Ye Mingquan moved slowly, but he took the opportunity to investigate the status of Daxia State. Ye Mingquan was nominally an envoy, but in fact he was an open spy.
