The border pass is really an important territory, and even when Wei Zining hadn't revealed her thoughts to Emperor Wei at the beginning, Su Hengyu had discussed it with her.

If the two of them did not succeed in the end, then they would defend the border, and then develop outward, lay down a territory of their own, and develop it well.

They don't have to do anything to the Great Wei, they just need to run their own country well, so that the people don't have to worry about food and clothing. In this way, even if the Great Wei still exists, those people are not stupid, and they see a better place, how can they not be tempted?

Moreover, Wei Zining is also a member of the Great Wei royal family, and she is also a princess from an orthodox background. Defecting to her command is not considered treason, but only to find another master.

At that time, they planned very well, and they also analyzed Emperor Wei's current heirs one by one.

I have to say that there are not many children of Emperor Wei, and there are few smart ones, and there may be a future that can compare to Wei Zining, but I haven't seen it now.

Su Hengyu felt that with Wei Zining's talent and the forces controlled by the two, it may not be impossible to create a country that is stronger than Great Wei.

It's just that neither of them expected that Emperor Wei would recognize Wei Zining so easily and named her a princess.

This may be due to the fact that his sons are not very successful, but Su Hengyu felt that the other party might have guessed their plans, and also thought that even if she did not hand over the throne to Wei Zining, she would be the emperor elsewhere in the future.

Instead of letting a capable daughter give up her ancestral inheritance and establish a country to fight with Da Wei, it is better to hand over the family property to this capable daughter and let her take Da Wei to the next level.

So even if Wei Zining's position as the crown princess looks very stable now, she may really be able to take over the burden of Great Wei from Emperor Wei smoothly as they expected.

But it is still the same sentence, before the day of Wei Zining's accession to the throne, no one knows whether there will be any changes in it, so the important base camp of the border pass must not be abandoned.

If Cui Lanting, who controlled several state capitals outside the Guan, also fell to them, it would be more beneficial to the plans of the two.

Therefore, Su Hengyu accepted Cui Lanting very simply, and was very satisfied with the sincerity he gave - he handed over the map of the distribution of minerals outside the customs that he had drawn.

Cui Lanting can be an extremely good talent in the eyes of so many nobles in Beijing, naturally not all because of the bonuses brought by his identity and appearance, but more because he is indeed smart and capable.

In the days when he was confined to Cui's mansion and couldn't go out, he didn't just read dead books, but even dabbled in miscellaneous books that some people didn't look at.

This distribution map is the result of his reading of miscellaneous books: "This is what I secretly found outside the customs after I went to the governor's office. The Huns only knew how to raise cattle and sheep, and they didn't know what kind of treasure was hidden under the place where they were. ”

But it doesn't matter, they found out what they didn't find out.

Seeing Su Hengyu looking at him in surprise, Cui Lanting explained: "I originally wanted to dedicate this distribution map to Your Majesty, but after thinking about it, I should probably find a more suitable lord for myself." ”

Emperor Wei knew about his problem, and based on the fact that the other party had not contacted him for so long, he knew that Emperor Wei should not plan to use him anymore.

But the lady is different.

Not only because the other party is a woman, but he is not even afraid of ascending to the throne as a woman, how can he think that he, a person who has destroyed the family, is deviant?

It is with this in mind that Cui Lanting will feel that his dedication will not make the other party feel unhappy, as long as the princess sees his ability, even if his illness worsens in the future and he has to step down, Wei Zining will not let those who look at him unpleasantly hurt him, a betrayer who has lost power.

Yes, Cui Lanting's wish now is not complicated, he only hopes that he can live peacefully in the future no matter what.

The first half of his life in Cui's Mansion tortured him a lot, he was worried and scared all the time, he didn't know who in the mansion would do anything to him, and he didn't know if Cui Xiang would have a whim and send him to meet his parents.

Even though there are not many memories left about his childhood, Cui Lanting still remembers that his mother gently stroked his face before she died and told him that he had to live well no matter what, and he wanted to live with his father instead of her.

Su Hengyu silently put away the distribution map, which is definitely a good thing for Da Wei and Wei Zining.

"Master Cui, have you ever thought about giving up your current official position and going to take a walk around the Great Wei Dynasty?" Since the other party's contribution is so sincere, Su Hengyu doesn't mind saying a few more words as an alliance, "To be honest, in my opinion, Lord Cui doesn't really care much about the official position, and now you are more like a bird tied to the official position." ”

With Cui Lanting's current condition and the feeling he has shown, Su Hengyu feels that he is more suitable for placing his affection on the landscape and playing around.

Cui Lanting didn't say much about this, but said: "Maybe, maybe one day I will resign and go into hiding." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and the unfinished words were swallowed back into their stomachs.

Both of them knew very well that the resignation might happen in the future, but there was no sign of that yet.

The distribution map of mineral deposits was quickly sent to Wei Zining by Su Hengyu with a special cream channel, and Wei Zining did not hide Emperor Wei's meaning in the slightest, and carefully told his father about the distribution map.

With the current situation of Great Wei, it is not possible to fully exploit the mineral deposits outside the Guan, so the two people who stood at the peak of Great Wei's power temporarily entrusted the matter to Su Hengyu and let her handle the matter with full authority.

Su Hengyu took the opportunity to offer a position as a mining center for many people at and outside the border gates, and began to find craftsmen to study blast furnace ironmaking technology.

Great Wei's weapons are still not good enough, if higher quality weapons can be smelted, this will be a great bonus to Great Wei's combat power.

At the same time, Su Hengyu did not forget to let the people on his side continue to build ships and explore farther seas. She still has a lot of seeds that she has not yet gotten and still has three crops a year to cultivate.

Salt and iron are two important things, Emperor Wei is ready to return to the government, Su Hengyu previously earned a lot of money from salt, and now he is slowly quitting this business.

However, on this point, the Wang family and Su Hengyu reached an agreement, and they had no intention of rebelling against the imperial court.

Anyway, Su Hengyu has more ways to make money here, and seeing that his niece is about to take advantage of the east wind of the princess, even if the Wang family doesn't want to go further, they don't want to provoke the daughter's displeasure because of these things.

After all, the people in power of the Great Wei today are completely different from what they used to be.

"We still have to continue to develop!"

When the first coal mine outside the gate was officially mined, Su Hengyu stood in front of the tall mine and muttered in a low voice.
