Chapter 193: No Money
"Ten and a half taels is not a lot." Li Si is helpless, this highness can't see the money in the country's inventory.
Last year's manpower reached a record high, and this year's wage increase will increase and more people will be willing to serve as conscripts, which is also a great burden on the country.
Great Qin's money is expensive, and the purchasing power of ten Qin and a half taels is also considerable.
"I know, but along the way, Li Xiang has also seen that the life of Qianshou is not good." Zhao Qingrui sighed lightly, she also wanted to save more money, but she couldn't save much at all.
Now Daqin's income comes from the income of salt in addition to taxes, and other fields have just begun to make profits, and they don't actually make much.
However, the consumption of the national treasury is very large, in addition to the salaries of officials, the most spent are the buildings that Great Qin is building today, such as the Great Wall, the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Afang Palace.
One of the biggest is the manufacture of weapons in the military.
Daddy is bent on expanding outward, and Daqin's army has been preparing for war since the beginning of the year.
The cost of war to a country is also very huge, and there is not much money actually saved in the treasury.
Thinking of her father, she is too loser, if it weren't for her father, she would have cursed.
Dad can't make money, but the ability to spend money is first-class, it's really enough.
Zhao Qingrui's thoughts, Li Si didn't know.
"Your Royal Highness, every Chinese New Year's Eve of Qin and half taels is already a great favor to the head of Qian." Li Si said seriously.
"The current situation, Your Highness also knows that Daqin needs a lot of money, His Royal Highness thinks about Qianshou, the minister admires it very much, and the minister can't do this step if he asks himself, His Highness has put forward so many policies to benefit the people, it only takes a few years, and Qianshou's life will gradually get better, Your Highness doesn't have to be in a hurry." Lees admonished.
Daqin not only has Qianshou, but many of the policies proposed by Zhao Qingrui have already been used on those Qianshou, as long as it takes two or three years, Qianshou's life will definitely be better.
In his opinion, Zhao Qingrui was too anxious.
In the end, Zhao Qingrui still compromised, she knew that what Li Si said was right, and she was really anxious.
Qianshou's life has actually gotten a lot better.
Along the way, she heard a lot of Qianshou's support for Daqin.
On the book, making annotations, Zhao Qingrui began to discuss the affairs of the Peacock Dynasty with Li Si.
In the past, it didn't count the petty fights, but now that you want to trade with Daqin, many things need to come out with a charter.
She was about to return to Xianyang, and she would have to discuss this matter with Feng Qujian and them, and before that, she hoped to have a general strategy.
"Your Highness's understanding of the Mauryan Dynasty, I don't know where the news came from?" Li Si asked curiously.
For more than a year, he was not unaware that this little princess knew a lot of strange things.
Curious, he didn't want to ask too much when His Majesty was there, but only Zhao Qingrui was there at this time, so he couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Qingrui was silent for two seconds, and sure enough, his abnormal Li Si must have already noticed it.
Fortunately, her father is the First Emperor, otherwise these things will definitely bring her endless trouble.
"My master told me that he traveled to the world, and he knew astronomy and geography." Pulling out the unwarranted master again, Zhao Qingrui did not have any psychological burden.
"I wonder who His Highness's master is?" Li Si raised his eyebrows, he really hadn't heard Zhao Qingrui say anything about this.
"I don't know who he is, he taught me before and left." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
"That's a pity, how good it would be if such a capable person could meet each other." Li Si said regretfully.
As for whether he really thinks so, Zhao Qingrui doesn't know.
"Let's talk about the Peacock Dynasty, does Li Xiang have any good ideas? Although our Great Qin is far away from the Peacock Empire, my father wants to expand now, and the Peacock Dynasty is also in the midst of the conquest. ”
"They can all come to my Great Qin by ship, there is no war yet, we can also trade and earn more things that are beneficial to Great Qin from them." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
Now that the king of the Mauryan Dynasty, Sheli is tyrannical, this is an opportunity for Great Qin.
"I don't know what they produce? Is it good for my Daqin? Li Si asked curiously.
"I don't know much about that." Zhao Qingrui shook her head, she didn't know much about these foreign histories, and these histories were so long that there were not many records left.
Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui seriously, and after making sure that she really didn't know, he also gave up.
Since Zhao Qingrui doesn't know, let people take a closer look at this Peacock Dynasty.
"I, Daqin, am not good at going to sea, and if I want to trade with them, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Li Si groaned for a moment.
"My father has all kinds of ship drawings in his hands, as long as he has money and shipwrights, it is not difficult to build them." Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of the blueprint of Zheng He's treasure ship that he had exchanged.
Li Si: "...... "Your Majesty, where did you get the drawings?" The situation of Daqin's shipbuilding industry, can he still not know, looking at the confident appearance of this little princess, Li Si suspected that this drawing was related to Zhao Qingrui.
"Your Majesty has a blueprint of a sea ship in his hand? Even if there are sea vessels, there are not many people related to sea navigation in Daqin. ”
"I know that these can be cultivated slowly, and as for the drawings, they were taken out by my master, and they must be more powerful than the existing ships of Great Qin." Zhao Qingrui nodded, what Li Si said was all on point.
"It's all based on having money." Li Si sighed lightly, money is needed everywhere, shipbuilding is not a trivial matter, and cultivating talents for sea navigation is not a matter that can be achieved overnight.
If you want to conquer overseas, at least not yet.
What Li Si thinks, Zhao Qingrui also knows.
As soon as money was mentioned, Zhao Qingrui and Li Si stared at each other, Da Qin really couldn't come up with more money.
The imperial mausoleum is almost built now, and Afang Palace doesn't know when it will be completed, and the Great Wall, which was built in the Ming Dynasty, at least when she is alive, the construction of the Great Wall will not stop.
Of course, if Great Qin dominates the world, the Great Wall can also stop, and then the whole world will be Great Qin, and the construction of the Great Wall will not make much sense.
It's too early to say this, the Great Wall has to be built again, and it is impossible to stop.
I want money everywhere, and the money in the Great Qin Treasury can't stand the toss at all.
"Money, how can I make more money?" Zhao Qingrui sighed, she wanted to mint coins directly, but once she did this, Qin Banliang would be worthless.
