Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue quickly declined, saying, "Your Majesty, I already have a place to live, so there is no need to give me more. I really don't deserve such a generous gift."

But Emperor Xuan Zhentian insisted, "My dear minister, you don't have to refuse. This is a small token of my appreciation. You have made such great contributions to Daxuan, so what does a mansion mean to you? Besides, it will be more convenient for you to do things in the capital in the future."

Seeing that His Majesty was so insistent, Jiang Xue had no choice but to bow again and said gratefully: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace! I will definitely remember your kindness and continue to work hard for Daxuan and the people until my death!"

In the court, ministers cast glances of envy and admiration.

"Adjourn the court!" As the eunuch's loud and powerful voice rang out, the originally tense and solemn atmosphere in the court instantly became relaxed.

The ministers adjusted their court robes and appearance, preparing to leave the morning court which had lasted for nearly three hours.

Emperor Xuan Zhentian also stood up slowly, glanced at his ministers, and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He knew that although the morning court today was long, the topics discussed were extremely important, involving the country's major plans and the well-being of the people. He saw the active participation and heated discussions of the ministers, which made him feel gratified and proud.

"My dear ministers," Emperor Xuan Zhentian said, "At this morning's court, we discussed the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities, and the fight against the plague in the north. These issues are all related to the future of the country and the well-being of the people. I hope that you will continue to work hard to handle these matters well and effectively."

Upon hearing this, the ministers bowed and saluted, and responded in unison: "We obey your order!"

As the eunuch shouted "adjourn the court" again, the ministers began to leave the court in an orderly manner.

They might gather in groups of three or five to continue discussing the issues raised in the morning court, or they might rush to their next work location alone.

After a brief period of bustle, the entire palace returned to its former tranquility and solemnity.

"Xue'er, do you have any ideas about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project?" Xuan Yuchen pulled Jiang Xue towards his bedroom.

Jiang Xue nodded, then shook her head: "Tell someone not to disturb me these few days. Ah Chen, give me the map of Daxuan Kingdom. I want to draw it."

"Xue'er, shall I accompany you?" Xuan Yuchen looked at her with some concern.

Jiang Xue shook her head. Are you kidding? She still needs the space! If Xuan Yuchen accompanies her, how can she use the things in the space with confidence? So she said, "No, wait until I draw it and then I'll discuss it with you."

Seeing Jiang Xue was so determined, Yu Chen no longer insisted on accompanying her. He just smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Xue'er, I won't bother you anymore. Just tell me what you need, and I'll have someone prepare it for you. I'll also send someone to deliver the map of Daxuan Country to you immediately."

Jiang Xue looked at Xuan Yuchen gratefully, secretly thanking herself for having someone who understood and supported her. She knew that the work she was about to do required a high degree of concentration and privacy, so having someone accompany her might bring unnecessary interference.

"Thank you, Achen. I will finish the drawing work as soon as possible and then discuss the next plan with you." Jiang Xue said seriously.

Xuan Yuchen smiled and patted Jiang Xue on the shoulder, encouraging her: "I believe in you, Xue'er. You have always been so smart and capable, and you will definitely succeed this time."

After that, the two of them got busy. Xuan Yuchen returned to his own palace to handle government affairs, while Jiang Xue went to a quiet study to start her drawing work.

half an hour later

In the study, Jiang Xue closed the doors and windows to make sure no one could disturb her.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and calmed herself down. Then, she slowly opened her eyes and looked firmly at the map of Daxuan Kingdom on the table.

Jiang Xue knew that the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was not only a huge water conservancy project, but also a major decision related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Daxuan Kingdom.

She had to be careful and not be careless or negligent. Therefore, she decided to use her spatial ability to plan and design every aspect of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in detail.

''Smallholders''

''I am here''

''Are you ready?''

''Um''

Jiang Xue smiled when she heard Xiao Nong's answer. She knew that with Xiao Nong as her smart assistant, her drawing work would become more efficient and accurate.

"Okay, Xiaonong, after the import is completed, please help me mark the rivers, lakes, mountains and other natural geographical elements on the map, and make preliminary water conservancy plans based on the terrain characteristics." Jiang Xue said as she walked to the desk and prepared to start her drawing work.

The small farmer responded quickly, and the cursor on the screen flickered, seemingly busy processing a huge amount of data.

After a while, the map of Daxuan Kingdom was clearly displayed in front of Jiang Xue. Various natural geographical elements were marked on it, and a series of water conservancy project routes were preliminarily planned based on the terrain characteristics.

Jiang Xue carefully examined the map, nodding or shaking her head from time to time, and put forward her opinions and suggestions on the small farmer's plan. The small farmer, in turn, constantly adjusted and improved the planned route on the map according to Jiang Xue's instructions, ensuring that every detail met Jiang Xue's requirements.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the only sounds in the study were the conversation between Jiang Xue and Xiao Nong and the sound of keyboard tapping. Jiang Xue was so absorbed in her drawing work that it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.

After several days of hard work, Jiang Xue finally completed the preliminary plan for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

She carefully checked every detail on the map to make sure there were no omissions or errors. When she nodded with satisfaction, she knew that she had taken a solid step towards the successful implementation of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

''Continue to improve''

Half a month later

"Your Highness, Lord Jiang has come out." Xuan San had been waiting for Jiang Xue in the dark.

When Xuan Yuchen heard Xuan San's report, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

He could hardly wait to meet Jiang Xue and see what kind of planning map she had drawn up for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in the past half month.

"Really?" Xuan Yuchen said without waiting for Xuan San to reply, and strode towards Jiang Xue's bedroom.

He strode towards Jiang Xue's bedroom, feeling uneasy all the way.

He knew that Jiang Xue was a talented and thoughtful woman, and the plan she made must be extraordinary.

This plan will be directly related to the success of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the future fate of the Daxuan Kingdom.

When Xuan Yuchen walked into Jiang Xue's bedroom, he saw Jiang Xue sitting at the desk with a thick blueprint in her hand. Her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be making final considerations on some details on the blueprint.
