Chapter 67: 67


    Zhao Ling Xin examined the documents in the writing room. Inside the room, there were people feared by civilian and military personnel, not wanting to get close to it. When anyone heard the name of this agency, they fled and refused to meet their eyes. This was the most formidable entity in the empire and was directly connected to the Emperor.


    Colonel Liao Hong, Minister of the Famous Inspection Office. He holds the National Security of the Kingdom in his hand and will not hesitate if anyone endangers the country''s security. The Bureau of Investigation will immediately remove the person from the directory, either way.


    The inspection bureau were all members of the system who were loyal to Zhao Lingxin. For the utmost security, this agency will never recruit outsiders.


    The Judicial Office was under the control of Zhao Lingxin. He knows the results of the famous treason trial. The case was widely spoken of among the people, prompting many to see the government''s generousness. Several people became hesitant, wanting to surrender to the government.


    "How are that 12 doing now?" Zhao Lingxin asked about the current situation of the 12 used.


    "They were all in a special residence, with officers from the Bureau of Investigation constantly monitoring the movement," said Colonel Liao Hong.


    Although the government and Zhao Lingxin had a secret agreement with Yi He to release these political prisoners, he still had no confidence in them. Zhao Lingxin had the Bureau of Investigators observe their movements all the time. If there were a malfunction, all 12 would immediately disappear from this world.


    The Surveince Bureau ced people disguised around them; these spies, like ordinary people, hard to observe, monitoring their every move. Including financial history, education, letters, personal rtionships. Theypiled a vast database of people and analyzed it under the Bureau of Investigation''s unique algorithm to determine the imperial threat. Investigative agents are hard to find and destroy. They proficiently disguise themselves among ordinary people. There will be no way to know if their husbands or wives are spies from the inspection bureau. Their motto is cut off one head and two more shall take its ce.


    The audit office is also responsible for inspecting the work of government officials. They''re the eyes and ears of Zhao Lingxin. Colonel Liao Hong was responsible for reporting every matter directly to Zhao Lingxin.


    "Colonel Liao Hong, I leave this to you." Zhao Lingxin also delegated some mysterious tasks to the Bureau of Investigation.


    "Understood, Your Majesty." Colonel Liao Hong epted the order. Then disappeared without a trace.


    Colonel Liao Hong was a particr person that Zhao Lingxin had summoned from the system. Have intelligence capabilities Raids, sabotages, espionage, and more. Colonel Liao Hong''s identity was the imperial spy chief.


    Zhao Lingxin picked up the phone and made a call. Not long ago, the empire began to shiftmunication technology from radio to telephone. Zhao Ling Xin''s phone also has voice encryption for security.


    "Follow the Prime Minister to meet me in the writing room," Zhao Lingxin said.


    After half an hour, General Guo Ling met Zhao Lingxin.


    "Your Majesty, what happened?" General Guo Ling asked.


    "Has there been any progress from the northern exploration unit?" Zhao Lingxin asked.


    "In fact, I am going to report it to you at the conference tomorrow morning." General Guo Ling said.


    "So, did the Northern Expedition Unit find the Spirit Stone Mine?" Zhao Lingxin asked.


    Must go back to the time Yi He surrendered to the central. After he healed himselfpletely, he met Zhao Lingxin inside the pce.


    Yi He met Zhao Lingxin and handed out a map.


    "Your Majesty, this is a map of the Spirit Stone Mine." Yi He gave a map showing the location of the Spirit Stone Mine, which is the source of wealth of the Great Prince Tao.


    Zhao Tao has no financial support. Moreover, the tax revenues from the poor northern region could hardly keep hundreds of thousands ofrge armies. Fortunately, the North discovered two spirit stone mines.


    Spirit stones had a very high value; the market price was about ten thousand yuan per one. It isparable with the minimum wage of one person over a hundred years. Therefore, the spirit stone was extremely valuable in the market. This had be the First Prince''s main capital to maintain his army after his cut from the central. Now that Yi He surrendered, the Great Prince''s army is no longer there, so Yi He conveys this secret as the foundation of Zhao Lingxin to develop the country.


    After living in Shenzhou for several days. Yi He clearly realized that Zhao Lingxin was apetent ruler. If Zhao Lingxin received this treasure, Dazhou would definitely prosper.


    Zhao Ling Xin, who had received this Treasure Map, was thrilled. If he had the Spirit Stone Mine, there was no need to worry about it any longer. He quickly ordered the prime minister to take it on a national agenda. It was necessary to find out that this Spirit Stone Mine was real. And General Guo Ling was about to give Zhao Lingxin an answer.


    "Your Majesty, a survey unit from the North, has sent the news that they actually discovered the Spirit Stone Mine."


    ording to Yi He''s notice, the Northern Expedition Corps found the Spirit Stone Mine and sent the news back to the Minister.


    "The survey results are excellent. Can we predict the number of spirit stones?" Zhao Lingxin asked. He was expecting that the mine would be able to generate profits for him.


    "ording to the engineer''s estimates, the mine is capable of digging approximately two thousand spirit stones per month. If using modern mining technology, it would probably be three thousand cubes per month," said General Guo Ling.


    "It''s only three thousand a month?" Zhao Lingxin said, disappointed. Three thousand spirit stones per month. If it was a moment earlier, this was arge number of spirit stones that could continuously generate ie. It was Zhao Lingxin''s main guarantee that he could summon an army every month.


    But this time, everything has changed. Zhao Lingxin was extremely rich; there were millions of spirit stones. He was no longer excited by the small number of spirit stones.


    "Just three thousand cubes a month is better than nothing. Under our budget, we cannot even buy these spirit stones," Zhao Lingxin said, consoling himself not to be more disappointed.


    In fact, the current Empire couldn''t even buy three thousand spirit stones. Three thousand spirit stones required an enormous budget. The GDP of Shenzhou City is 28 million yuan. However, the money needed to buy these three thousand spiritual stones was 30 million yuan. More than the GDP of Shenzhou. Zhao Ling Xin couldn''t receive such arge number of spiritual stones every month. This spirit stone was truly a treasure.


    "I think our Spirit Stone Mine is a low level, unable to be equivalent to a mine in the hands of arge sect." Zhao Lingxin calcted in his heart only the millions of spirit stones of the Martial Artist that raised their invasion. Showing how wealthy the sevenrge sects. The empire was not able to fight them at all.


    "The gaps are still too far apart. We need to develop faster." Zhao Lingxin decided to elerate the development even faster to build the empire''s status on par with the great powers.


    "The Prime Minister elerated the mining engineering unit as quickly as possible." Zhao Lingxin ordered.


    "I will immediately take action." General Guo Ling walked out of the room.


    Zhao Ling Xin picked up some notebooks, inside, full of the development n he had drawn up, which required many exchanges from his system. Originally, these were just dreams that took ten years to develop, but this time it was different. He had millions of energy points, enough to speed up the empire''s development several times more quickly.
