Chapter 366: The Child Travels to Study
"Okay, when the time comes, you can taste it first, it should taste good." Zhao Qingrui chuckled and said, Li Si and Feng Quji are also old men in the court, she can't pit them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two hurriedly thanked each other.
They have no apprehension in their hearts, and they trust His Majesty, and he also believes that this thing can be eaten.
There are many magical things that have happened to His Majesty, and His Majesty knows this ostrich egg, and there is nothing unacceptable.
These blacks were taken down and locked up, and temporarily taken over by the Honglu Temple.
Zhao Qingrui directly asked people to take these ostrich eggs to the imperial dining room, and made them according to her requirements.
The time for lunch seems to come very slowly, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the court, but fortunately, the general direction has already been set, and the things that come up in the book are not very important.
The ostrich eggs affirmed by His Majesty, many people are still quite curious.
The people above this court are not all nobles, and there are many people who have lived a hard life since childhood, as long as they can eat something, they attach great importance to it.
At noon, Zhao Qingrui asked people to take over the government affairs, so as not to let these bad things affect their mood for eating.
There are more than twenty ostrich eggs in a basket, and the eggs are big enough for everyone to get a share.
It's just a simple steamed egg, with some seasonings, and after it is served, it smells quite fragrant.
"Your Majesty, the minister will taste it first." Feng Qujian stood up and said seriously.
"Feng Qing, please." Zhao Qingrui stretched out her hand and smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Feng Qu thanked him, he took a small bite of the porcelain bowl, the taste was unexpectedly good, and he didn't know where those black people came from, and when he figured it out, he also sent someone to these places to take a look and get all these back.
Li Si also tasted it, there was no strange taste, it was a little fishier than ordinary eggs, and after adding seasonings, the fishy smell was covered up a lot.
With such a big bird egg, I don't know if I can catch some birds that can lay this kind of bird egg, so that if I raise it in Daqin, I will be able to eat more on the Qianshou table of Daqin in the future.
"Two Aiqing, how does this bird's egg taste?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile in her eyes, and swept around the officials below, many people saw that Li Si and Feng Qujian had eaten, and now there was no problem, and their faces were a little ashamed.
"Your Majesty, this bird's egg is tender and tastes good." Feng Qujian said seriously.
"It's really good, and of course, what's even better is that the chef is very good." Li Si smiled.
He took a look at it before, and the raw ostrich eggs tasted too fishy, but he didn't expect to make them, and the taste was actually good.
At the beginning of the banquet, the officials gradually let go, anyway, if they can eat, then eat.
Zhao Qingrui also took a bite, and the taste was just like that, it wasn't as delicious as eggs, she didn't like the taste very much.
Fortunately, there are many delicious things to eat in addition to ostrich eggs.
The food cooked in the imperial dining room was much better than outside, and the officials had no problem with staying and working overtime.
After a meal, many people's minds surge, the outside world is very big, and there are many good things, which is a common cognition of all people.
Some people who have some money at home are thinking about sending someone to the sea to see it, maybe they can bring back something good.
Moreover, even if you can't find good things, you can still make a lot of money by bringing some of Daqin's existing goods out.
After lunch, Zhao Qingrui went back to Xianyang Palace to rest.
Xiaobai has grown up a lot in the past year or so, and the two tigers are very tall, and now even the palace maids and eunuchs who take care of them dare not approach easily.
Zhao Qingrui touched the somewhat impetuous Xiaobai, it seemed to want to go out and play.
They were originally beasts of prey, and she had been confined to them in this palace, which was simply killing their nature.
Why don't you take them out for fun when you're free?
Just, where are you going to play? For their size, the hillside wasn't enough for them to have fun.
Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on the map, why don't you send these two big cats to Lingnan or Shudi? These places are mountainous, and they will definitely like it.
When Zhao Qingrui was looking at the map, a behemoth flew in from outside the hall with big wings.
Fortunately, Xianyang Palace is big enough, otherwise Xiaobai will definitely not be able to fly in this palace.
"Hot, go aside." Disgusted, she cut Xiaobai open, if it was winter, she would be happy to hold it and play.
"Whew." Xiaobai rubbed Zhao Qingrui aggrievedly.
The owner is always busy, and he doesn't have time to play with them, so he is wronged.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm trying to get you to play in the wilderness." Zhao Qingrui looked at its aggrieved appearance, and her voice softened.
Xiaobai tilted his head and went to play, yes, it had long wanted to go, this Xianyang palace had already been played with by them, and it had already been enough.
"How about I ask someone to take you to Lingnan to play?" Zhao Qingrui touched its soft fur and said gently.
It doesn't know where Lingnan is, but if it can go to play, it will naturally be a good thing, so if it doesn't want to, it just nodded and agreed.
Smiled and rubbed its head, although Xiaobai is not yet an adult, but what has been given to it in the past few years, Zhao Qingrui is still very generous, and there is no malnutrition.
It's okay to go out and play, don't worry about it not being able to keep up.
Xiaobai's strength is very strong, and he is also connected to her contract, and he is not afraid of her accidents.
Only, who will send them? This matter needs to be carefully considered.
On the second day, when Zhao Qingrui hadn't thought about where to send Xiaobai and them to play, Ziying had something to do and came to the palace.
"You're not in class today? How did you get here? Seeing Ziying, Zhao Qingrui chuckled and said, this kid has grown very fast in the past two years, and he is already as tall as her.
"Little aunt, I want to go out on a study tour and come to talk to my little aunt." Ziying scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Study tours? Are you going alone? Zhao Qingrui was surprised, but Zhao Qingrui was still very happy about Ziying's decision, going out for a walk and seeing for a long time is better than staying in Xianyang to study.
"With Wang Wei and them, there are seven people." Ziying said to the people who were going to study together.
"That's it, it's a good thing, go and see more." Zhao Qingrui smiled, and suddenly, Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up, since Ziying was going to go on a long trip, let him take Xiaobai and them out.
Taking them out not only allows them to have fun, but also protects their safety.
"Thank you, Auntie." The aunt agreed, and Ziying was very happy.
"By the way, I have something I want to ask you." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ziying gently.
"Auntie, please tell me, Ziying can do it without refusal." Ziying immediately said that it would be best to be able to help her aunt.
"Xiaobai, they can't play in the palace, I want you to take them out, they will follow you from afar, and try not to appear in front of Qianshou." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Yes, I'm willing to take care of them." Ziying directly agreed, Xiaobai they are amazing, and he has long wanted to touch Xiaobai.
"Then I'll trouble you, don't worry, Xiaobai, they're very well-behaved." Zhao Qingrui said happily.
"Auntie, can I give Xiaobai their hair?" Riding a tiger or something, he didn't dare, and Xiaobai was still his aunt's, he couldn't overstep it.
It is still worth looking forward to giving Xiaobai Shunmao, looking at Zhao Qingrui with a blank look, her eyes full of expectation.
"Yes, they often get dirty outside, and I need you to help clean them up when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.
"No problem, wrap it up on me, aunt rest assured." The aunt agreed, and Ziying immediately patted her chest and promised.
Before Ziying left, Zhao Qingrui packed the comb and shower gel and other things used by Xiaobai and handed them to Ziying, and personally sent Ziying and them out of Xianyang.
In addition to Wang Wei, there are also Zhao Qingrui's two nephews and nieces, one is Feng Quji's eldest grandson, one is Li Xin's daughter, and the other is Zhang Budo of Zhang Liang's family.
They went out this time without escorts, but in addition to learning literature over the years, they have also learned a lot of self-defense skills, and their parents have also prepared a lot of self-defense equipment for them.
The two big cats disappeared after leaving the city, and Ziying was not worried, but he knew that Xiaobai was very human, and he believed what his aunt said.
Standing in the Que Tower, Fusu's gaze retracted after Ziying and their figures disappeared.
"Little sister, you said that they went out like this, is it really okay?" The son had not gone far, and Fusu was already starting to worry.
He didn't understand, why his father liked to run around, and now his son also ran around, couldn't he be a little safer.
The father doesn't know where the waves are going now, and he doesn't know where the waves are going to be when his son is going.
"Big brother, the outside world is very big, you, don't worry, Ziying they are very smart, and their strength is not weak, while they are young, they should go out for a walk, if I am not the emperor of this Great Qin, I also want to go and see everywhere." Zhao Qingrui patted Fu Su's arm, and envy flashed in her eyes.
The emperor does have supreme power, but in this position, her own private time is also constantly compressed, and she needs to be responsible for the entire Great Qin.
Fusu is indeed calm, but this is what he has been taught by Confucianism since he was a child, and he is also working hard to be the future heir of Great Qin, this kind of temperament is indeed very good, but after all, knowledge is only in books.
This is also the reason why after she came back, Prince Fusuyin's position was quickly defeated, and her father chose her.
Compared with Fusu, he knows more, and he also knows the situation of Daqin, and he will not be imprisoned by Confucian thought.
"I know you're right, but I'm still a little worried." Fusu has a fatherly heart and nowhere to put it.
"Big brother is not just a child, if you keep thinking about Ziying, you might as well spend more time on other children." Zhao Qingrui smiled helplessly.
turned around and returned to Zhangtai Palace, there were still many government affairs waiting for her in the palace.
Leaving Xianyang City, a group of half-grown teenagers and girls looked like birds out of the cage, looking at everything and feeling fresh.
"Ziying, what do we eat at noon? Do you go to a restaurant to eat? Yue looked at Ziying expectantly and asked, Yue is the daughter of Gongzi Gao, who is only thirteen years old this year.
"Go to the restaurant to eat, and keep the dry food first." Ziying directly decided, this time they came out, but they brought a lot of money.
"I want grilled fish." Li Yuan immediately raised his hand and said.
"I'm going to eat braised vegetables."
"Do you want to drink?" Zhang Budo came over, they were young before, and the parents didn't allow them to touch it.
"No, you can't drink, what if we get drunk and our stuff is stolen? My aunt said that drinking was wrong. Ziying directly rejected the request.
Although they brought a lot of money out, and there was no shortage of food and drink, the money would always run out, and they had to plan carefully.
Now that I just came out, it's okay to be extravagant, just drink, so forget it.
"Yes, yes, we can't drink, my father also said, there are many dangers outside, we have to be careful." Wang Wei said seriously.
"Okay then." Zhang Budo said with some regret, he actually just wanted to taste the wine.
"I don't know where the eldest father and they went to play, I knew that I should have followed the eldest father in the first place, it must have been very interesting." A few people walked towards the restaurant, and Ziying thought about what happened when the original emperor and they left.
"Father won't take you, Father doesn't like children." Yue pouted, and the eldest father took some guards and left, so he didn't care about them.
However, when the eldest father had a tiger's face, it was also very scary, and their brothers and sisters did not dare to come forward to the eldest father.
"Begging for a beating." Ziying knocked on Yue's head speechlessly, if this girl shut up, he would be happier.
"Father, they have big ships, if it weren't for the fact that a few of us had no experience, I would have wanted to go to sea to play." Ziying said regretfully.
"Then next time, let's save some more money and buy a big ship, and we'll go to sea then." Zhang Budo was eager to try, overseas, they also knew something from the newspapers.
Overseas is huge, there are a lot of good things, and there are other human beings.
Now they are too young to be allowed to go to sea, and even if they want to go to sea, the adults will not agree.
"How do you make money?" Li Yuan looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and it really stumped them.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, it's time to go to dinner now." Ziying waved her hand, not wanting to think about these bad things.
Ziying and their study tours, several people have discussed, knowing that there is no danger, and they all have the strength to protect themselves, so they let them go out.
However, after the school was free of them, it seemed that the whole school was quieter.
Zhao Qingrui's life was not calm at all, and things began to rise again.
With the arrival of summer, there is more rain, the river water has begun to rise, and there are some droughts in some places, Zhao Qingrui is thinking about digging the river.
The south-to-north water diversion or something is completely unrealistic for the current Daqin.
Now it can only be improved little by little, and it can only be done slowly.
Above the court, Zhao Qingrui said his decision.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the head of Qiantou to recuperate, and it's not appropriate to start these big projects anymore." Immediately someone stood up against it.
"Yes, such a large project requires a lot of manpower, and it will take many years to complete the excavation." There are quite a few people who echo it.
"Using gunpowder to crack rocks will reduce the amount of work by a lot." Zhao Qingrui really wants to dig the canal, but he can't do it like Yang Guang, so something will happen sooner or later.
"Your Majesty, gunpowder is used in war, and it is too wasteful to use it to open mountains and crack stones." Li Si hesitated.
The scientific research institute has invested so much money, especially in weapons research, and has made some achievements in recent years.
Gunpowder is listed as a secret of Great Qin, such a powerful thing, used to open mountains and crack stones, it is like killing chickens with a knife, these projects, as long as there is a Qiantou, the Qianshou can be chiseled out.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the bunch of people who refuted below with a headache, a little congested.
"Okay, let's not care about digging the river this year, and the other rivers should also be sorted out this year, so as not to cause floods after the water rises, where is Li Yu?" Zhao Qingrui rubbed her eyebrows.
The current population of Great Qin is also about 50 million, half of which has only grown over the years, and the population of the First Emperor was only more than 20 million when he was in power.
The population of Daqin is still too small, and if the head of Qiantou is transferred to dig the river, the impact on Daqin is indeed not small.
My father is too, and I don't know how many more years I can do, and when the population reaches hundreds of millions, I will be able to let her go, how can she be like now, and she will be restrained in everything.
No, we have to encourage more childbearing.
"The minister is here." Li Yu stepped forward.
"Li Qing is familiar with water control, and I ordered you to go to various places to dredge rivers." Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Yu and said, now Li Yu is almost middle-aged, and he looks resolute and magnificent.
"The minister commands." Every year, he calmly accepted this task, which was His Majesty's recognition of his ability to control water.
Xiao Bai left, and when he returned to Xianyang Palace, Xiao Bai would not pounce at any time, which made Zhao Qingrui a little unaccustomed.
After reading the book, Zhao Qingrui leisurely ate a snack, and asked the people from Yuefu to come over and perform a song and dance to relax herself.
I don't know where my father is now, Zhao Qingrui is a little missing.
In the past, her father was not often at home, and she didn't feel anything, but in the past few years, she has spent more time with her father and the emperor, but now that her father is gone, she is a little uncomfortable with such days.
"Shang Lian, is there anything interesting about it? I'm so bored. Zhao Qingrui propped her head and looked sideways at Shang Lian.
"There is no place to play in Xianyang City, if Your Majesty is bored, you can go to the horse farm to play." Shang Lian suggested seriously.
Compared with other entertainment, horseback riding can also exercise the body, and His Majesty stays in the palace for a long time to deal with government affairs, and rarely goes to exercise.
At present, she is His Majesty's personal secretary, and she must pay attention to this matter.
"Running horses, I don't want to go, let's go to the school to shoot arrows, I don't know if my archery skills are accurate." Zhao Qingrui immediately came to her senses.
