Chapter 100: Cash-for-Work

Zhao Qingrui is very satisfied with the development here, and the hill is big enough, with fruit trees planted and some high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

At the foot of the mountain, there are several more breeding areas, specializing in breeding chickens and ducks.

Zhao Qingrui took Steward Pang to several other Zhuangzi, all of them were developing according to their own plans, and Zhao Qingrui was immediately relieved.

After inspecting a few Zhuangzi, it was almost evening, and Zhao Qingrui went to Zhuangzi to build a brick kiln, and the brick kiln had already laid the foundation.

Zhao Qingrui is willing to pay money, and the people who come to work here are very hard-working, and it will not take a while for the brick kiln to be built.

When she returned to Xuanyi Palace, it was already late, and her father was already waiting for her to eat.

Since Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace, Ying Zheng likes to come over to eat with her two daughters.

"Father is still waiting for me?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, since the ancestor worship, Yingzheng asked her to change her title and call her father together with her brothers and sisters.

"Otherwise, it's so late to stay outside, how dangerous it is for you to be a girl outside." After several assassinations, Ying Zheng now has a lot of people around him.

Although his heart has not been completely determined, Zhao Qingrui is important, and he will never allow the little girl to have any mistakes.

If Zhao Qingrui doesn't come back, he will send someone to find her.

"What danger can there be, this is Xianyang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to mess around?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, besides, she can protect herself.

Now that Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang have been arrested, except for these people, the remnants of the other six countries will not be able to become a climate at all.

After dinner, Ying Zheng went to lose weight, and Zhao Qingrui was stuffed with a bunch of political affairs by Ying Zheng again.

Daddy is getting more and more lazy now, and Zhao Qingrui began to look at it resignedly.

These are basically letters sent from all over the country, writing about the situation in each place, such as where there was a case of theft, and where there was a problem when conscription was carried out.

Zhao Qingrui suddenly realized that the time for conscription in the first half of this year has come again.

In these recitals, many of them talked about the problem of conscription, Zhao Qingrui picked out all these recitals, and discussed this matter with his father later.

Only by force is used to suppress those conscripts, who will revolt sooner or later, and must think of other means.

In addition to the matter of conscription, there is also a continuous rainstorm in a certain place, and the local county guard is afraid that something will happen, so he reports it.

There are a lot of these folds, Zhao Qingrui frowned, feeling that his father can't take care of everything so much, let him decide everything, so what do you want those officials to do? Waiting for white rice?

During this time, he was losing weight every day, and Ying Zheng felt that his body was much better, even better than when he was younger.

The belly has also been reduced a little, and it is indeed more convenient to lose weight.

After a few laps, I was a little tired, but it wasn't as painful as it was when I first lost it.

"How's it going?" Seeing that the girl frowned, Yingzheng said softly.

"I've read it all, and there are a lot of questions." Zhao Qingrui took a sip of the teacup, and a faint bitterness came from her mouth, relieving the tiredness between her eyebrows a little.

"Oh? Can it be solved? Ying Zheng took the cotton handkerchief sent by the palace maid and wiped his face, and asked with a smile, he naturally knew that there were many problems, and these problems needed to be solved urgently.

"I think you just deliberately didn't want to think of a solution, so you threw these troubles at me." Zhao Qingrui looked at him angrily, whose father is he like this, he will make trouble for her.

"There is a way that the capable work harder, and the widow also believes in your ability, so he is looking for you, I haven't seen the widow looking for them, this is the widow's trust in you." didn't care about the girl's complaints, Ying Zheng smiled.

"I want to leave this honor to Brother Fusu and them." Zhao Qingrui looked at her father sadly, just staring at her as a disaster, she has so many brothers and sisters.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, the widow is going to take you on patrol after a while, do you want to go play?" Ying Zheng said softly.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen the rest of Daqin yet." Zhao Qingrui suddenly became interested, and her eyes lit up.

This was the last time the First Emperor went on patrol in history, but with her, the direction of Daqin has changed dramatically, at least my father is still healthy.

"Okay, now I'm happy, can these problems be solved?" Ying Zheng was secretly proud, how to make his daughter happy, it was not a good deal.

"Let's talk about this rainstorm first, I remember that this county is the place where the Ling Canal passes, and I want people to dig and widen the Ling Canal, as for who to build it, the current tentative candidate for conscription." Zhao Qingrui flipped through the book that wrote the heavy rain and said.

"Well, it coincides with the idea of the widow, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of things to do during the heavy rain, and then someone will say that the widow is tyrannical." Ying Zheng nodded.

"This is settled with these conscriptions." Zhao Qingrui brought the pile of conscription books and put them in front of Yingzheng.

"Tell me about it." Seeing that her daughter had a way, Yingzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong with bringing these things to her daughter.

If Fusu is asked to do it, I don't know how long it will take, and it is estimated that there will be no effective solution.

"Abolish forced labor and provide relief through work." Zhao Qingrui leaned comfortably on the stool, and a thick leather was put on the back of the stool, although it was not as comfortable as the modern sofas, but it was also very soft.

"Cash-for-work, but what Yanzi did in building the 'Road Sleeping Platform'?" Ying Zheng groaned.

"That's right, after the abolition of conscription, the method of voluntary registration will be adopted, and the imperial court will provide money and food, which is equivalent to the imperial court being the boss and recruiting workers to work." Zhao Qingrui looked at his father, Daqin's conscription was too hard, mainly because there were too many places for his father to build.

Zhao Qingrui feels that the genes of the infrastructure madness in the bones of the Chinese people come from her father.

"So, can anyone be willing to do it?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui hesitantly.

"As long as we take out the money and grain, some people are willing to do it, the father, the Qianshou are very poor, and they are willing to do a lot of things for food." Zhao Qingrui sighed.

"To support the conscription of the entire Great Qin, the widow can't take out so much money and food." Ying Zheng's face was distorted, and there was finally something in the treasury, and they were all staring at his treasury.

"Let's slow down those deadlines, take your time." Zhao Qingrui also had a headache, Daqin was indeed very poor, she also went to the treasury to see that there were not many things, especially grain, except for the ones to be sent to Shangjun, there was not much left.

Ying Zheng was silent, his imperial tomb has not been built yet, the Great Wall has only been repaired, the spiritual canal has to continue to be dug, and the Afang Palace still needs many people to be built, these can't be stopped.

There is a story recorded in "Yanzi Spring and Autumn": During the period of Qi Jinggong, there was a famine in Qi country, and Yanzi asked for food distribution to the people, but Jinggong did not agree. At that time, Yan Zi was in charge of the construction of the "road bed", and he ordered the officials to increase the wages of the hired workers, increase the length of the road, and delay the construction period without urging them. Three years later, the platform was built, and Yanzi not only completed the tasks assigned by the leaders, but also revitalized the people.

Yanzi's approach was later called "work for relief", and infrastructure, as a tool for counter-cyclical adjustment, has always been an important starting point for stabilizing growth and supporting the economy, and infrastructure development has a strong driving role in upstream and downstream investment.
