Chapter 356: Currency Issues

"Okay, let's not talk about that, the clan is not a threat to me." Zhao Qingrui said lightly and threw the hook into the river again.

Are these courtiers too idle, one by one, they either care about her marriage or her next generation all day long.

Or do you want to give them a little more work?

"Your Majesty, now that the schools in Daqin have a basic prototype, should the construction of schools be carried out in areas such as grasslands and deserts?" Seeing that Zhao Qingrui didn't want to talk about the descendants, the uncle and grandson stopped looking for her unpleasantness, so as not to be cleaned up by His Majesty.

"Yes, they are also the people of Great Qin now, and they should be treated equally." Zhao Qingrui nodded.

It's really time to get it up on the grassland, Daqin still needs a lot of people, and it is definitely not enough to rely on the existing population of the Central Plains.

In recent years, the fertility rate has increased a lot, and many children have been fed.

However, it takes a lot of time for this group of people to grow up.

Then, the population that is urgently needed will have to find a way from elsewhere.

Liu Ji is doing a good job now, and he will be promoted in the future.

Thinking of Liu Ji, Zhao Qingrui recalled in her mind where Liu Ji was during this time, and Liu Ji did not come to the promotion list this time.

But Zhao Qingrui looked at Liu Ji's exploits recorded by Feng Zheng, and if it goes on like this, in another two years, Liu Ji should also be promoted to Xianyang.

Two years is not much.

When the schools in these places in the grassland are built, we have to send more teachers for ideological education there, and assimilating those people as soon as possible will be more conducive to the rule of Great Qin.

In the past few years, the officials sent to the grassland by Great Qin have still had some difficulty in managing the local natives, these people are all small tribes, and the decrees of the imperial court are not very easy to convey.

These are the traditions of the steppe, and it is useless for her to change them, if she forcibly changes, it will cause turmoil.

If you want to completely transform these people into the people of Great Qin, you have to slowly figure them out.

Fortunately, the results achieved now are still very good, because of the formation of various trades, all kinds of things on the grassland flow into the Central Plains, and the materials of the Central Plains also flow to the grassland, and the materials circulate, and the people on the grassland are gradually getting better and better, and they can afford to eat.

It is precisely because of this that their resistance to the management of the Great Qin court is not high.

Zhao Qingrui attaches great importance to education.

Zhao Qingrui's words, Uncle Sun Tong respectfully responded.

He also knows this in his heart, the promotion of education, at the beginning, it was much more difficult than now, and now, everyone has accepted it well.

For the people in these areas of the Xiongnu, as long as they cooperate honestly, Daqin's policy towards them is still very favorable.

The breeze was blowing, the lake was sparkling, Zhao Qingrui's eyes narrowed slightly, it was hard to rest today, but I had to take a good rest.

Meng Yi's fishing line moved, slowly lifted up, and a palm-sized fish jumped out of the water.

"Uncle Meng is amazing, this is the biggest fish today." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.

"Yes, the minister is lucky today, and after a while, the minister will let the minister send this fish to the imperial dining room, and let the imperial chef make fish soup for His Majesty." Meng Yi said respectfully.

"Okay, you can stay and eat together then." Zhao Qingrui said happily, fish soup, I haven't eaten it for a few days, and I'm really a little hungry.

"No." The two respectfully responded, although His Majesty often left officials to eat in the palace, but there were very few people who could really eat with His Majesty.

This also represents His Majesty's closeness to them, and the two are naturally happy.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has prepared good wine?" Meng Yi smiled happily.

"There are some good wines, but if you drink and make a mistake, I won't drink it, so I'll give you some later." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, she was naturally a little closer to Meng Yi, after all, he watched him grow up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two said happily.

Zhao Qingrui has a lot of good things there, especially the wine she makes people brew, which is much more fragrant than the outside.

The wine used in the palace banquet in the past few years was all taken out by Zhao Qingrui, and such wine could not be bought outside at all.

These drinks, especially those generals, are especially concerned about this wine.

Uncle Sun Tong also drinks some wine occasionally, and he also likes the wine in the palace.

His Majesty rarely gives gifts to others, and he can't drink them even if he wants to.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the gluttony of the two and wanted to laugh.

In fact, the drinks sold outside are also quite good, and as she came out with various techniques, all aspects of Qianshou's life are changing rapidly.

Although the liquor system makes the tax on liquor high, the people who buy it are basically the ones who have money to spare.

Especially good wine, basically only nobles and gentry can afford it, which can be regarded as paying some more taxes for Daqin in disguise.

After playing outside for an afternoon, when she returned to the palace, Zhao Qingrui asked people to prepare food.

Zhao Qingrui was in the Zhangtai Palace, chatting with Meng Yi and them about the situation in Daqin.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of factories in Daqin now, and many of them are still supported by officials, and these people have taken advantage of the relationship between officials to take advantage of a lot of loopholes." Meng Yi talked about Daqin's various factories, his brows furrowed slightly.

"There is no hurry in this matter, the system is not perfect enough, then it will be improved little by little, if someone breaks the law, the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people." Zhao Qingrui looked at Meng Yi.

She had already issued an edict on this rule, which was also to restrain herself and the people of the clan to prevent some people from harming Great Qin.

"I understand." Meng Yi paused for a moment and said respectfully.

There are not many sects who make trouble, and they are all relatively honest.

After all, neither the First Emperor nor the current Majesty are easy to get along with, and they don't have much affection for the people of the clan.

If they make trouble, His Majesty will definitely clean them up and will not show much mercy.

The fish soup was quickly served, and the milky white fish soup exuded an enticing aroma that made several people swallow their saliva.

"Your Majesty's food here is still fragrant." Since Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace, Meng Yi has rarely eaten Zhao Qingrui's delicacies.

Fortunately, there are more ways to eat Daqin's food now, and it is countless times better than before.

On the table, in addition to fish soup, there are many things that Meng Yi likes to eat.

Seeing these dishes, Meng Yi's eyes turned a little red, His Majesty has always remembered his preferences, and his heart was moved.

"Uncle Meng still likes it?" Zhao Qingrui chuckled, Meng Yi looked very moved.

"I like it, thank you Your Majesty for remembering the preferences of the ministers." Meng Yi nodded seriously.

"If you like it, it's fine." Zhao Qingrui was even happier.

There are still many disadvantages about being an emperor, and there are no more people who can communicate and talk casually, which makes Zhao Qingrui feel a little lonely.

Uncle Sun Tong watched silently from the side, but there was a little envy in his eyes.

Meng Yi was a close attendant of the First Emperor, a close person to the First Emperor, and he was the only person in the court who knew about Zhao Qingrui's existence.

This trust is really enviable.

Moreover, Meng Yi still watched His Majesty grow up, and he was even more envious of such a friendship.

Uncle Sun Tong's envy, Zhao Qingrui didn't notice it, and only after they had eaten did they leave the palace.

——

After the New Year, the imperial court has begun to resume normal operation, and the entire Great Qin is still filled with the joy of the New Year.

The recalculated almanac was sent to Zhao Qingrui's desk, and after Zhao Qingrui asked the system to calculate it, he made sure that there was no problem, and then the new calendar was promulgated.

At the same time, an edict was also issued, and in the future, January will be the first year, and December will be the end of the year, and it will no longer be counted according to the calendar.

Zhao Qingrui ascended the throne and revised the calendar, which was regarded as a change of yuan, and it was calculated according to the year of the first emperor.

This calendar-related edict did not cause much fluctuation.

The calendar for the new year was quickly promoted, a thin almanac, the almanac is only one year, but the situation of this year has been marked with some marks.

This is also according to Zhao Qingrui's meaning, which is marked with twenty-four solar terms, as long as you look at the almanac, Qianshou knows when to cultivate and when to harvest.

The practical value of this almanac is very high, and it is also sold very cheaply, and it immediately captured the heart of the Qianshou.

"Dashan, your family also bought almanacs." A tall man patted the man walking in front of him, and he also had a copy in his hand.

In the past few years, the literacy work has been done well, and Qianshou basically knows some commonly used words and can calculate them simply.

The words on this calendar are all common words, and they can understand it themselves.

"Yes, I didn't expect Your Majesty to pay so much attention to us, with this calendar, it's convenient to do something in the future, I didn't expect that today is the twelfth." The man scratched his head innocently, and the book in his hand was turned to today's date.

This is what he knew after asking the clerk, and in the future, it would be enough to turn one page a day.

Your Majesty's almanac is so convenient for people to come up, and I praise Your Majesty for the 10,000th time in my heart.

"That's not it, I've already told my daughter-in-law that we'll go back to her mother's house on the fifteenth, it's really convenient to have this calendar, and you don't need to keep track of the date."

"Our family will also sacrifice to our ancestors in a few days."

The two of them were from the same village, and they went back to the village together, exchanging things on the calendar along the way, and they were now particularly interested in it.

Such things are happening in many places, and the whole Daqin is filled with a bustle.

Zhao Qingrui went out for a walk with people in micro-clothes, knowing that the calendar was promoted smoothly and there was no trouble.

The calendar, whether it is a nobleman or a Qiantou, finds this thing very useful.

"Qin Tianjian, in the future, the calendar for the new year will be issued at the end of each year, and if the calendar is inaccurate, it must be recalculated." Zhao Qingrui looked at Qin Tianjian seriously.

The calendar is still quite important for a country.

"You say, why did the emperor suddenly change the calendar? This new calendar is quite convenient to use. In a small courtyard, several people sat together, and one of them, a gentle young man, said.

"If it's easy to use, use it, as long as it's not hard to get along with us, this good thing doesn't have to be used in vain." A middle-aged man said in an urn.

That's right, this is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms that Zhao Qingrui dislikes.

There are more and more good things in Daqin, and their small anti-Qin group is getting smaller and smaller, and in Daqin's situation, they have no chance of winning at all, so many people quit directly.

The current Daqin, as long as you work hard, you can basically live it, if you are smarter, it can be said that the current Daqin is full of opportunities to make money.

The bustle outside has little impact on Zhao Qingrui, and the bookstore is now idle, and Zhao Qingrui is ready to continue to find something for them.

The coins that Great Qin uses now, except for gold, are half taels of Qin.

Gold is precious, and if you take it out casually, it will definitely be coveted, and Qin Banliang, one is equivalent to one dollar, and it is also very inconvenient to use it for trading.

At the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui saw that no one was playing, so he took the initiative to propose a change in the currency system.

"Your Majesty, coins are an important part of the foundation of Great Qin, and you must not act rashly." Feng Quji only felt that his heart was beating wildly, and sure enough, as long as His Majesty was idle for a while, he would have to do something big.

"I have already thought about this matter, the change of the coin is imperative, at present, there are not many Qin Banliang and gold in my Great Qin, which is also a major obstacle to the prosperity of the economy, and the transaction is extremely inconvenient." Zhao Qingrui talked about the shortcomings of the existing currency system.

Zhao Qingrui's words successfully shut up Feng Quji.

"I wonder how Your Majesty wants to change the currency system?" Li Si stood up and said curiously.

Looking at His Majesty's appearance, I am afraid that this matter is already ready to be changed.

"Use paper money to replace Qin half tael, the specifications on the banknote are set yuan, corner, and denomination are one dime, two jiao, and five jiao, and yuan, set one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, each denomination of the banknote is printed with different patterns, Qin half two can also be used, Qin half two are all changed to one corner, two corners, five corners, one yuan, and other denominations are not set." Zhao Qingrui said her plan.

Bronze has a lot of uses, and a large part of it is used to make Qin Banliang, which in her opinion, is really a waste.

Zhao Qingrui's words fell, and the needles in the Qilin Hall could be heard, and Zhao Qingrui's voice continued to echo in the minds of these people, impacting their cognition, I didn't expect the coin to be so modified.

If the coin is promoted in this way, it will be more beneficial to Great Qin.

"Your Majesty, the paper is easily damaged, will the material used to make coins be a little inappropriate?" Li Si instantly understood that the excellent improvements of the currency system proposed by Zhao Qingrui would definitely greatly promote the development of Great Qin.

"This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Industry for study, and it is necessary to make paper that is not easy to break, and it must be special enough to make it cheap." Zhao Qingrui looked at Gong Yu.

"The minister commands." Gong Yu stood up to accept Zhao Qingrui's order, just to improve the paper and assign some people to do it.

"In addition to paper, there are also some inks used to print the words and patterns on banknotes, and the same as paper, it must be special enough, not easy to imitate, and the cost can be slightly more expensive." Zhao Qingrui continued.
