Chapter 271: Divine Decree
"As for the reward for doing well, please ask the eldest brother to draw up a list." Zhao Qingrui looked at Fusu.
"No problem." Fusu did not refuse.
Seeing off Fusu, Zhao Qingrui leaned back on the chair, ate snacks, and continued to read the book.
Calculate the time, Zhang Liang and they are coming back too.
"Your Highness, this is sent by Lord Xie." Wang Xian walked over and respectfully presented a thick booklet.
"Xie Peiyun, take it and take a look, it's the end of the year before you know it, time flies so fast." When she saw this booklet, she knew that this was her own industry, and there was also a report on the affairs of Jingshui Pavilion.
A lot of people have gone out before, although it is not all over the entire Great Qin, but the fortress of Great Qin is full of her people.
Now there is no need for her to rebel, she will let those people develop in various places, and they can also come to Xianyang to participate in the assessment and embark on a career in office.
It's just that not many people have come back, they are still doing what they did before, and they have also brought a lot of news from all over the world to Zhao Qingrui.
Looking at the account books and reports from various places, Zhao Qingrui was careless from the beginning, and soon became serious.
Looking at her harvest in the past year in the account book, Zhao Qingrui only felt that the long list of numbers was about to blind her.
When she came to Xianyang before, her father gave her a few Zhuangzi, plus the things that her father had given one after another over the years, and most of the things harvested from those Zhuangzi were exchanged for money.
Now that the land has been apportioned into the mu, although the big Zhuangzi are also in the settlement, those officials have tacitly set aside those Zhuangzi and have not allocated the fields inside.
Zhao Qingrui wanted to continue to use it, so she directly spent money to rent, and she was not short of money anyway.
In addition to Zhuangzi, there are also those shops in the capital, and the income of these is the majority, and the rich people in Xianyang are beyond her expectations.
"With so much money, I don't have much to spend." Zhao Qingrui said in a trance.
"That's a good thing, who would be afraid of having a lot of money." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"yes, so much money, how do you think I should spend it?" Zhao Qingrui came back to her senses and looked at Wang Xian.
"The minister doesn't have any good ideas, and he is not good at managing money." Wang Xian smiled bitterly.
"Also, you ask people to put this money together, and then let Lu Pheasant check it." Zhao Qingrui put down the account book.
"No."
Wang Xian is also gone, Zhao Qingrui's mind is full of money, she only knows that she has made a lot of money, and she is almost out of mind to review the book.
After quickly dealing with these chores, Zhao Qingrui began to think about how to spend the money.
Although this amount of money is not as good as that in the treasury, if he is not the prince, this money is enough to squander it for many years.
And his shop is still making money, and he has no worries for the rest of his life.
But now, with so much money, she wants to do something.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, thinking of the travel of the future generations, although Daqin has Qin Chi Road and Qin Straight Road, the speed is still too slow and the efficiency is low.
The distance from Xianyang to Shangjun is not short, and in the future, my father will go out to fight the world, the world is getting bigger and bigger, and it is naturally more difficult to manage.
Communication and passage are huge challenges to be faced, just like the king of Shang, who fought so much in the world, but ran too far and couldn't control those princes, which led to the rise of the Zhou Dynasty.
She doesn't need to worry about this question for the time being, the communication can start her eyes, but she has no clue.
Compared with communication, the problem of access is better solved.
She found that Su Ling's talent in mechanical manufacturing was extremely high, and Su Ling had almost taught herself the textbooks she took out, and it was estimated that there would be no problem in making a steam engine and an internal combustion engine in the future.
When the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and Afang Palace are completed, Xianyang is re-planned, and a large number of roads will be built in various places.
Lishan plus the prisoners of war in Afang Palace, there are hundreds of thousands of people, so many people built Xianyang together, the speed must be very fast.
What are the tools for travel, the existing conditions in Daqin, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to get a bicycle.
The iron-making technology is up to standard, and there are a lot of things involved in the bicycle, especially the materials used in the wheels.
Zhao Qingrui took out the map placed in Zhangtai Palace, and his eyes fell on Lingnan, there should be rubber trees over there.
Now, she also has money, but she is not afraid of tossing.
Thinking so, Zhao Qingrui went to discuss with Yingzheng the next day.
"Rubber? What's that? Ying Zheng wondered.
"Rubber has many uses, it can be used to make rubber shoes, to make rubber boats, and it can be used to ......." Zhao Qingrui carefully said what she knew.
"How? Father, do you think this rubber thing is very important? Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
"Well, it does matter, you mean?" Ying Zheng nodded seriously, not doubting the girl's words, according to what the girl said, this rubber tree is indeed a treasure.
"There should be in Lingnan, there are too many uses for this kind of rubber, I must not be able to finish this business alone, the market for rubber is very large, if it is nationalized, it will definitely increase a lot of income for the national treasury." Zhao Qingrui said immediately.
When it came to increasing revenue for the treasury, Ying Zheng immediately became interested.
Zhao Qingrui looked at her father's excited look, the corners of her mouth twitched, is Dad scared?
"In that case, what do you want to do? I listen to you. "Ying Zheng is eager to try, if he has these, Daqin should become better and better.
"Ahem, first of all, we need to find the rubber tree, now that Zhang Han is staying in Lingnan, how about letting him find it first?" Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"If you find it, dig it up and plant it on the Zhuangzi?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui shook his head, "No, the climate in Xianyang is not suitable for the growth of rubber trees, or it is suitable for Lingnan." ”
"In this way, I remember that when the land was divided into acres, there were few people in Lingnan, and there was still a lot of land that had not been allocated." Ying Zheng has some regrets.
"You don't need a field to plant rubber trees, there should be a lot of mountains over there, so plant them on the mountains when the time comes, and when you find me, I will get a detailed planting method, and there will be a method of rubber tapping." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
Lingnan is too big, and the distribution of the fields is not even half, and the rest of the fields, except for those that have been rented, have also planted a lot of things under the orders of the imperial court, and some of these have been left for Lingnan to make military rations, and the rest are being transported to Xianyang.
"However, Zhang Han, you said that he has a talent, but I want to transfer him to Shangjun and let him also participate in the attack on the Huns." Ying Zheng touched his chin, he also valued martial arts in his heart, and he was more eager for military generals.
"Father, you are enough, look at how many generals you have transferred to Shangjun, Meng Tian, Wang Li, Li Xin, Li You, this lineup is so luxurious, just send two of them over, and you can level the Huns." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly.
When his daughter said this, Ying Zheng was also a little sneered, "Ahem, Daqin hasn't fought for many years, these generals have a lot of folds, and they all want to go, and besides, this is the first step for Daqin to dominate the world, and I must win." ”
"Well, it's really important to get off to a good start, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for you to toss so much." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
The New Year is approaching, more and more grain is sent back to Xianyang, and the imperial court has expanded several granaries, but there is not enough to put it.
Su Ling came to ask for the expansion of the granary again, and Zhao Qingrui was stunned, this is too much.
In order to improve the situation of the state treasury, Zhao Qingrui directly gave Wang Xian a copy of the by-products of various grains, and asked her to build a factory, which would definitely not be sold directly, and the price of grain was reduced a lot.
Although the imperial court has suppressed the reduction of grain prices, grain prices are still declining, and they have not yet reached the lowest.
Jiang Lu also came over with him and talked to Zhao Qingrui about it.
"Brother Jianglu, during this time, you cooperate more with Wang Xian, Wang Xian, print some books and put them in the bookstore, so that more people will know." Zhao Qingrui thought for a while and said seriously.
She did this just to enrich the food on the table of the Great Qin Qianshou.
"Your Highness, rest assured." Wang Xian nodded seriously.
After sending Wang Xian away, Zhao Qingrui met with the general Shaofu again.
Her East Palace is also nearing completion, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to finally build the East Palace.
Zhao Qingrui was happy in her heart, and directly took the general Shaofu over to check.
Zhao Qingrui hadn't paid attention to the construction of the East Palace for some days, and as the New Year approached, there were more busy things.
Led people slowly walked in, the solemn palace stands not far from Xianyang Palace, according to Zhao Qingrui's preferences, but also built a very high attic, to the attic, you can overlook Xianyang.
Although the East Palace is only lived by herself, it is built very generously, although she has long known that she is the daughter of the first emperor or the prince, these are all things that should be owned, but when she sees such a huge palace, she is still a little unaccustomed.
The palace is thick and solemn, the Qin bricks are laid layer by layer, the cloud top sandalwood in the dormitory is the beam, the crystal jade is the lamp, the pearl is the curtain, and the fan gold is the pillar base.
The palace is surrounded by ponds, and the back garden is full of strange flowers and plants, which are very bright and beautiful.
These are built according to her own preferences, she has read the account books, and knows that the cost of building this East Palace is extremely high, if it is not for the fact that the court is not short of money now, she is ready to advance some money herself.
"Your Highness, is there anything that needs to be modified?" Will be made Shaofu respectfully said.
"No need, so be it." Zhao Qingrui shook her head, this is already excellent.
After following the general Zuo Shaofu to understand the situation inside the palace, Zhao Qingrui asked the general to complete the finishing touches on this side.
"Come to Zhangtai Palace tomorrow afternoon, I have something to discuss with you." There is still something to be busy, Zhao Qingrui is not very anxious on the side of the East Palace, it is his father who is in a hurry.
"No." Although the general Shaofu had doubts, he still respectfully agreed.
Back in Xuanyi Palace, Zhao Qingrui asked Lu Pheasant to take the account book of Xuanyi Palace to her.
Looking at the things in the account book, Zhao Qingrui knew it in her heart.
She is not short of money or food, and she will ask Lu Pheasant to send some food to the East Palace tomorrow.
Those who work can also give some money.
"Lu Pheasant, you say, how much reward should be given to those prisoners of war who built it?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Lu Pheasant and asked.
At this time, Wang Xian got off work and was busy with the affairs of those grain factories, and there was no one to come up with ideas for the time being.
Seeing Lu Pheasant busy by her side, she immediately thought of Lu Pheasant, the founding queen of the Western Han Dynasty, who was a ruthless person, and after entering her Xuanyi Palace, her skills were also very good, which made her value it very much.
"Those people do things for His Highness, it is their blessing, if they give a reward, the minister thinks that it is enough to give a dozen Qin and a half taels." Lu Pheasant said respectfully.
"A dozen? It's a little less. Zhao Qingrui pondered for a moment.
"Your Highness, there are a lot, and if you give too much, it will make it more difficult for those who will be the Shaofu to manage, and make them easy to make trouble." Lu Pheasant said seriously.
Although there are many garrisons in Xianyang City, the number of prisoners of war is even larger, and if these prisoners of war make trouble, it will definitely be a big problem.
"You're right, I didn't think it through." Zhao Qingrui paused for a moment, feeling that what Lu Pheasant said was very reasonable.
On the afternoon of the second day, the general made Shaofu come over early.
"I called you here today, that is, to talk about what happened after these people finished building the East Palace, I asked people to send some food over, all of which were some meat, so that they could get some meat."
"Your Highness is merciful." Will be Shaofu respectfully said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous.
"The East Palace can be built so quickly, everyone has contributed a lot, your credit has been recorded in the official inspection book of the Imperial History Tower, and the rest of the people will be rewarded with fifteen yuan each." Zhao Qingrui said lightly, not caring about his sycophancy.
I heard a lot of sycophants, and that's it.
"There is another point, my father has agreed, you go and inform the prisoners of war under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, the imperial tomb and Afang Palace will also be completed, Xianyang City needs to be rebuilt, and all prisoners of war need to join the construction of Xianyang City."
"When the construction of Xianyang City is completed, let them go free and give them the citizenship of Daqin." Zhao Qingrui took out a silk book, which was written by his father, and it was stamped with a big seal on the matter of releasing these prisoners of war to freedom.
However, in order to set these people free, it is first necessary to complete the construction of Xianyang City.
After receiving the silk book presented by the palace maid, the whole person of the Shaofu was shocked, but he didn't expect His Majesty to give such an order.
"Your Highness, there are 700,000 prisoners of war who built the Imperial Mausoleum and Afang Palace, and the release of so many prisoners of war may cause turmoil in Great Qin." Will be Shaofu said in fear.
"It's not something you should worry about." Zhao Qingrui said lightly, there is no need to explain this kind of thing to the general Shaofu.
"What Your Highness taught is that the ministers have transgressed, and the ministers will be grateful." Will be made Shaofu respectfully said.
"Well, go ahead, pay attention to some of these prisoners, and inform General Wang Ben, don't let these prisoners cause any turmoil." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"No."
Jiang Zuo Shaofu read His Majesty's holy decree, and also went to Shanglin Yuan and Lishan to read it, so that everyone understood His Majesty's meaning.
All the prisoners were shocked, they thought that they would be prisoners for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect that they would have to be the head of the Qianqian one day.
