Chapter 239: Changing to a Post Station
"A good idea? I have some ideas, and I want you to give me some advice. Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"I have post posts all over Daqin, I don't know what you think of this?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Si and them.
The post station invests a lot of money every year, but it is only used to deliver official documents from all over the country, which is really wasteful in Zhao Qingrui's view.
"The post post is the top priority of the DPRK and China's information transmission, and His Royal Highness wants to rectify the post station?" Feng Qujian hesitated.
"Well, with this idea, Daqin's post post invests a lot of money every year, but it is only for the delivery of official documents, which is really a waste, I want the post post to be used by the head of the world." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Your Highness, this can't be, if it is used by the head of Qian, some people with intentions will get involved in official documents and intercept information, which is extremely unfavorable to the management of Great Qin." Feng Quji's face changed drastically, and he wanted Zhao Qingrui to give up this dangerous idea.
"Yes, Your Highness, if the official document and the items of the head of the Qiantou are mixed together, it will not be conducive to the transmission of information from the court." Li Si also had a bitter face.
"I think you two misunderstood me." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
"Qingrui, what do you want to do?" Ying Zheng also walked in at this time.
"I've seen my father." Zhao Qingrui hurriedly saluted, and the others also saluted.
"Father, I mean, the post post makes the information of the imperial court come faster, but there is too much money invested every year, I want to divide the post into two parts, one is responsible for the letter items of the imperial court, and the other part is for the use of the head of the Qian."
"Build a house at the post office, provide it to the officials or the head of the Qian, and collect a certain amount of money."
"And to mail things, you also have to charge a certain amount of money, and at the same time, it can also be convenient for Qianshou, which is benefiting the people." Zhao Qingrui said what she thought.
The details of this have to be carefully discussed with the two prime ministers.
"Your Highness, is this suspected of competing with the people?" Li Si said helplessly, this highness always likes to engage in various ways to make money, and the court doesn't know how many people attack her, saying that she competes with the people for profit.
It's a pity that no matter how much those people say, it is their father and daughter who have the final say, and their prestige among the leaders is also extremely high.
"How can it be competing with the people, I am obviously a policy to benefit the people, I will calculate it for you." Zhao Qingrui said confidently.
"Everyone has also seen that the life of the head of Qiantou in Daqin is getting better and better, and there are more people coming from Xianyang, and the merchants are the most in the coming and going from various counties and counties."
"And most of the money of Great Qin is in the hands of those merchants, if it is just to send a heart, collect a few Qin and a half taels, if it is to send goods, it will be calculated according to the weight of the goods."
"Just talking about sending letters, according to three Qin and a half taels, 10,000 people sending letters is 30,000 yuan."
"Stay at the post office, the post station provides meals and hot water, and you have to pay twenty and a half taels a night, and the merchants go to the business from all over the country, and the post station is safe and cheap, and you will not choose the post station."
"And the goods, the merchant's goods, can there be less? According to the weight, for example, how much is within 100 catties, and how much does it cost to go up to 100 catties,.。 ”
With Zhao Qingrui's words, a new post appeared in front of several people, if she did what she said, it would work completely, and it would also reduce the burden on some of the imperial court.
Several people's eyes flickered, and they were indeed very interesting.
Ying Zheng is also pondering, if he does what his daughter said, it can indeed relieve a lot of financial pressure.
"What do you think?" Ying Zheng looked at a few people and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can give it a try, according to what Your Highness said, it can indeed greatly facilitate the people of the world, and it will not delay the transmission of official documents from the DPRK and China." Li Si was the first to stand up.
"The addition of convenient residences for the head of the Qian, as well as the delivery of letters, will require a large number of additional manpower, and the DPRK and China are already short of manpower." Feng Quji hesitated a little, although this could make some profits, but it also increased the expenses of the post post.
"There are so many people who participated in the assessment this time, and when the time comes, these people will be sent to the grassroots level, so that there is no need to worry about the problem of redundant officials."
"Daqin needs to operate, it needs a lot of talents, the grassroots is a good place, and if you have merit, you can climb up better." Zhao Qingrui poured a cup of tea for her father.
She didn't know how profitable the express delivery industry was in her previous life, but they definitely didn't lose money.
You can move to Daqin to try, and the official express delivery can also make Qianshou more trusting.
"So, let's try it." Feng Quji no longer insisted, he also felt that he could try, and Daqin's treasury could now withstand the toss.
"It is necessary to build a large number of post houses, and I am going to contract out to the merchants to build the buildings." Zhao Qingrui talked about her plans.
"How much money should the DPRK and China pay? The money in the court still needs to keep enough for the salaries and military salaries of hundreds of officials, and there must be a part of it to spare, and there is not much money that can be used. Silently settling an account, Feng Qujian said seriously.
"When contracting to those merchants, the DPRK and China give some benefits, such as allowing them to advertise at post stations, or exempting them from many commercial taxes, I believe that many people will be tempted." Zhao Qingrui pondered for a while, there is indeed not much money that can be transferred at will in the court.
"Your Highness's idea is not bad, so that the court will not need too much money to come out." Feng Zao said in agreement, as long as he gave up some of the benefits, those businessmen would only make more.
"What does Father think?" Zhao Qingrui looked at her father expectantly.
"It's not bad, you just let it go." This also represents Yingzheng's support for Zhao Qingrui.
With Yingzheng's words, Zhao Qingrui suddenly relaxed, so let's do it.
"The distribution of personnel needed in the post station, how much money is needed to deliver letters, how much accommodation costs, and how much benefits are to be given up, you still need to make a detailed plan." Zhao Qingrui's expression was relaxed, and she handed over these chores to a few people.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will definitely plan these things." Feng Quji and the others said respectfully, if it is done well, this is a great achievement, and it may be able to go down in history in the future.
They are already extremely powerful, and what they are asking for now is not their name.
Following Zhao Qingrui, they saw hope, under her orders, Daqin was rapidly undergoing tremendous changes, and it was becoming prosperous little by little.
Seeing them agree, Zhao Qingrui looked at these people and felt very emotional.
In today's situation, it is not possible to directly copy the various modern systems, but the existing institutions of Daqin are bloated, but they can be improved, and the cabinet system can be moved to try.
After sending them away, Zhao Qingrui followed her father to Xuanyi Palace for dinner.
"What are you thinking when I saw that you couldn't give up?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui and asked.
