“Oh? There’s such a wonderful place?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyang’s eyes brightened, and his spirits lifted.
Lin Qingluo’s smile was radiant: “This valley is in the Qilian Mountain Range, less than ten miles from Woniu Village. The mountains are high and steep, yet the inside of the valley is like spring all year round. Not only are there streams and bamboo forests, but a large millennium-old herb garden too. The soil is fertile, making it especially suitable for growing grains and vegetables.”
Lin Xiaoyang was stirred by the words: “I remember the elders saying that there’s a paradise, untouched by humans, in the heart of the wilderness where it is spring all year. I was skeptical then, but if Qingluo says so, it must be true.”
“Father, I’ve been thinking, this valley has been lying waste for many years, it is quite a waste of resources.”
Lin Qingluo, radiant, said, “We could get people to reclaim it, grow large amounts of grains and vegetables, effectively making it a granary to supply the Lin Clan Army stationed at the border.”
“Brilliant idea!”
Lin Xiaoyang was inexplicably overjoyed, “Most of the Lin Clan Army veterans are from farming families and are adept at farming since childhood. When they get older or retire due to injuries, most of them return to their hometowns and continue farming.”
“For most of them, their families face poverty after their service ends; hence, they live a struggling life.”
“If we can convince them to retire in this paradise, not only will their future life be secure, but it will save us a considerable sum in relief funds, leaving more liquid funds available.”
“You are exactly right, father!”
Lin Qingluo, smiling, agreed, “Not just them, but their families too. As long as they are willing, they are welcome. The valley is vast, not smaller than a town, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.”
“Haha, wonderful!”
Lin Xiaoyang was overjoyed, and he hugged his daughter tightly.
“My precious girl! You are truly my lucky star!”
“Father, you can let big brother do this.”
Lin Qingluo’s sharp and luminous eyes gleamed with cunning, “He is meticulous and a legitimate descendant of the Duke of Zhen’s house. His being the one to assemble the workforce would be the most persuasive. The former soldiers will be more receptive to him.”
“Jinyu?”
An unease settled over Lin Xiaoyang as he thought of his struggling son who bore a fate as difficult as his own. He sighed deeply.
“He has relatively less interaction with the Lin Clan soldiers. It wouldn’t be entirely appropriate for him to lead the endeavor.”
“But we still have the Second Uncle, don’t we?”
Lin Qingluo, who had worked everything out, responded smoothly, “The Second Uncle holds high prestige in the military. His assistance would make big brother’s task easier and smoother.”
“You little mischief-maker!”
Lin Xiaoyang was amused, “I know you’re doing this for Jinyu’s sake, looking for a serious task for him, so he can establish his prestige in the military.”
“Alright. For the sake of my loving daughter, I will give him a shot. Let him make an appearance in front of the Lin Clan soldiers.”
“Whether he can successfully establish his prestige, that would depend on his abilities.”
Lin Qingluo was satisfied and laughed, her eyes curving: “Big brother is very clever, he certainly won’t let father down.”
“Haha! Good, I’ll be waiting for his good news.”
Lin Xiaoyang laughed heartily, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.

Quiet Elegance Residence.
The siblings, under the pretense of visiting their mother, held secret discussions in the study.
“Qingluo, are you suggesting that I take this opportunity to train Shadow Guards in the valley, just in case?”
Lin Jinyu’s eyebrows furrowed, “The Lin Clan already has a considerable number of Shadow Guards. Looking at the current situation, it seems sufficient.”
“Only the legitimate sons have the right to command these Shadow Guards. Since Shadow One and Shadow Two are always around you, of course, you don’t feel there are too few.”
Lin Qingluo disagreed, “There are many children in the Lin Clan. If each of them had authority over the Shadow Guards, do you think we’d have enough?”
