During this time, the shipyard was also busy quickly.

The demand for warships is higher, but fortunately, a lot of big ships have been built before, and now if you build some more, you can use them.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the report sent to her, and already had a good idea of the situation of the warship.

Daqin's warships have now used steam engines, and the speed is several degrees faster again, there are more big ships, and when the Mauryan Dynasty is defeated in the future, these fast ships can also deliver news faster.

In addition to the news of the shipyard, Wang Yuan also sent various information about the rubber factory.

He also wrote to resign from the position of factory director and wanted to follow Wang Li to attack the Peacock Dynasty.

The rubber factory has also grown rapidly in recent years, making great profits for Daqin, and Wang Yuan's ability is definitely no problem.

However, the Wang family is a military general, Wang Yuan wants to go to the battlefield, and Zhao Qingrui can also understand.

Do you want to let Wang Yuan go, Zhao Qingrui was a little hesitant.

The main thing is that there are people who have not taken over the rubber factory, and the importance of rubber, Zhao Qingrui knows very well that it is necessary to arrange a trustworthy person and a capable person to go over.

"What is Your Majesty worried about?" When Shang Lian came over, she brought the book with her.

"Wang Yuan wants to enter the army in Lingnan and follow Wang Li to attack the Peacock Dynasty, and there is no one to take over the rubber factory for the time being, so I'm worried." Zhao Qingrui still decided to approve Wang Yuan's request.

At present, all kinds of materials have not been prepared, especially gunpowder, which is a powerful thing, and there are many troops on the border of Great Qin, and the demand for gunpowder is also high.

Although it has been made, it is still in the experiment, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale.

"There's a suitable candidate." Shang Lian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Her Majesty to be worried about this matter.

"Who? Let's hear it. Zhao Qingrui asked with interest.

"It's Wei Xi, now he is a Lang official in the household department, and the minister feels that he is a little condescending in this position." Shang Lian said seriously.

Wei Xi, but I forgot such a person, when this person was in the cabinet before, he was generous and moderate, and he was able to handle any problem with ease.

"You go and let Weixi come over." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Liandao.

"I'll go."

After a while, Wei Xi was brought over.

After leaving the cabinet, Wei Xi also went to the local area to experience a few years, and because of his outstanding results, he was promoted in advance.

"Wei Qing doesn't have to be polite, sit down, I can talk to you casually." Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi with glasses, looking more like a modern elite.

Since Zhao Qingrui got the glasses out, the glasses have been liked by many readers.

Especially now that there are more and more books of all kinds, there are more and more people who are nearsighted, and there are more uses for glasses.

Moreover, it looks very sven with glasses, and there are even people who wear flat glasses just to look good.

Of course, Wei Xi is not wearing flat glasses, he is really short-sighted.

There are a lot of affairs in the cabinet, and after going to the local government, in order to make achievements, he is also very desperate, in addition to being busy with government affairs, he is also working hard to enrich himself, and in his spare time, he will read all kinds of books.

He didn't have a strong backstage, so he had to work harder, so he made himself short-sighted.

"The minister is afraid, what His Majesty wants the minister to do, just say." Wei Xi said that he was frightened, but his face was neither humble nor arrogant.

"How's it going?" Zhao Qingrui asked gently.

"Very good, the minister is well adapted, and Lord Li is also very attentive to the officials of the household department." Wei Xi said seriously.

"It's good to adapt, I heard that you are comfortable with the affairs of the household department, I don't know what you can say about managing the factory?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi with burning eyes.

This person is also one of the candidates for the future Six Shangshu, and Zhao Qingrui is very optimistic about him.

"Some foolish opinions, the minister has learned about some official factories in Daqin, and the internal management is like the imperial court, and there are various departments related to the factory, all in order to make the factory operate better and not make mistakes." Wei Xi briefly said his opinion.

"Smack." Zhao Qingrui clapped her hands and sighed, "Yes, Wei Qing understands it very thoroughly, and I am very pleased." ”

"Your Majesty has overdone it." Wei Xi said indifferently.

He grew up with all kinds of compliments, and he was used to these compliments.

After entering the court, he found that he was not the best, he still had many shortcomings, and there were many more powerful than him.

The more he learned, the more he felt smaller, and the more humble he became.

"Wang Yuan was managing the rubber factory before, you should also know that he is ready to resign now, I want you to take over the position of factory director, I don't know if you are willing?" Zhao Qingrui admires Wei Xi's modesty and studiousness, and many rising stars in the court make her quite satisfied.

Thanks to the great man, she has learned so many things, and she understands the importance of opening up the people's wisdom, otherwise there would not be so many outstanding talents in the DPRK and China now.

"Here, the minister has no experience in managing the factory, and I am afraid that he will not be competent." Wei Xi didn't expect His Majesty to let him manage the rubber factory.

"It's okay, Wang Yuan also started from not knowing anything to get to the point where he is now, Wang Yuan hasn't left yet, you have passed, let him teach you more." Zhao Qingrui didn't think it was a big deal.

"Then, the minister will take the order." Wei Xi still agreed.

At the court meeting on the second day, Wei Xi got the letter of appointment issued to him by Zhao Qingrui.

Walking out of the Qilin Palace, Wei Xi looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, and then looked at Shang Lian, "Thank you Lord Shang for your recommendation." ”

"It's okay, the main thing is that you are capable, if you are not capable, I will not recommend it." Shang Lian said with a smile.

"I still want to thank Lord Shang for his kind words in front of His Majesty." Wei Xi bowed.

"Okay, when you get to the rubber factory, you have to work hard, Your Majesty actually values you very much." Shang Lian said seriously.

"Xia Guan knows, thank you Lord Shang for reminding me." Wei Xi said seriously.

Wei Xi first went to the household department, handed over the work in his hand to the people in the household department, and then went home.

When he got home, he asked his wife to start cleaning up.

The appointment letter said that he would arrive in Lingnan within a month, and since he had already taken over the job, he wanted to do his best and go over as soon as possible, so that he could have more contact with Wang Yuan and learn more about the rubber factory from him.

"In such a hurry?" Mrs. Wei was surprised.

"Let's go over early, so that we can learn more from Lord Wang." Wei Xi explained briefly.

"Got it, but Xin'er is still too young, let's go over like this, it's a long journey, is it really okay?" Wei Xin is Wei Xi's youngest daughter, who is only one year old this year, Mrs. Wei is worried.

"We take a boat, and it's faster and safer." At present, Daqin's water transportation is very developed, especially after the steam engine is used on large ships, the shipping industry has developed rapidly.

Nowadays, steam ships are not only used in war, but also used in civilian use, specially used on rivers in various places, making it more convenient and cheaper for Qianshou to take a boat.

"Okay." Mrs. Wei didn't say much, as long as Wei Xi's decisions didn't harm the family, she basically rarely refuted them.

The status of women in Daqin has improved a lot, and many women who are not inferior to men have also emerged.

However, Mrs. Wei is not that kind of woman, she prefers to revolve around her small family than to be an official and a teacher, or even start her own business.

Wei Xi's salary is quite high, she only gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest son is smart and sensible, she doesn't need to worry about it at all, the youngest daughter was born, and she is also well-behaved and cute.

Although there is no in-law and mother-in-law to help take care of her at home, she is still able to play with ease.

Now that I'm suddenly moving out, it's no wonder I'm not used to it.

"What should we do with this house in Xianyang?" Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Xi, this house was rewarded by His Majesty, the location is good, and it is very spacious, she likes this house very much.

"Let's rent it out, we should stay in Lingnan for a few years." Wei Xi thought for a moment and said.

As long as the house is put up for sale, there are people who want to rent it.

"We are in a hurry to go to Lingnan, and we will trouble the eldest brother when this matter comes, you will run for a while." Wei Xi decided to entrust the matter of renting a house to his eldest brother.

"Okay, I'm just going to tell my grandmother about them." Mrs. Wei responded seriously.

It's been a few years since I've been gone, so I'm sure I'm going to talk about it.

When his wife took her little daughter to her parents' house, Wei Xi also began to pack up her study, this time it will take several years to go to Lingnan, and you have to bring important books.

Although the books outside are cheap, the money needs to be used everywhere in the house, the children will also study in the future, and the whole family will have food and clothing, and all the pressures are on him, so he can only save as much as possible.

When Wei Xi was almost tidy up, his wife actually called several uncles over.

"Brother-in-law, we'll help you clean up." A few people didn't put up a fight, and they helped with the work as soon as they came.

"Ah Weng asked the eldest brother to come over, saying that we have a lot of things, the eldest brother and they have a lot of strength, we are not good at taking things, let the eldest brother and they send us to Lingnan, so that we can also protect our safety." Mrs. Wei explained in a whisper.

"Won't this be too much trouble for them?" Wei Xi hesitated.

"It's okay, this time is not a busy farming, it just so happens that we haven't been to Lingnan, and we will have a long time to see when the time comes." Uncle Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

Mrs. Wei's maiden family is just an ordinary farmer, and they didn't expect Wei Xi to fall in love with their girl, and after Wei Xi got married, there was only one woman, Mrs. Wei, who never messed around outside, which made them value this son-in-law even more.

Wei Xi doesn't have much interest in those things, so he doesn't need money to do them? Now that he has two children in the family, all the work of supporting the family is on him, and there is still a lot of work, so he doesn't want to raise those women in vain.

"You're all gone, father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can rest assured that they're at home?" Wei Xi looked at his uncles with some emotion, he was often busy with work, and if there was anything at home, several uncles would often come over to help.

"My daughter-in-law and children are here, it's fine." Lin Qingshan said indifferently, Xianyang's security is so good, there is no need to worry about it at all.

In the end, Wei Xi agreed to go with them.

The family has still purchased some family business in the past few years, and these things depend on the husband and wife, and it is indeed difficult to bring them to Lingnan.

Wei Xi and the others set off two days later, and before leaving, they came to the palace, and Zhao Qingrui asked him to bring an edict to Wang Yuan and gave him some money, and then sent him away.

Walking out of the palace with the money, the corners of Wei Xi's mouth twitched, and he found that His Majesty was quite fond of rewarding money, especially for some officials with average family backgrounds.

It's not a lot of money, but it can make life a little better at home.

However, His Majesty's doing this made his heart quite warm and made him want to work harder so that he could serve His Majesty.

Wei Xi left, Zhao Qingrui looked at the account books sent by the household department, although these account books have been sorted out, but the household department is in charge of a lot of affairs in Daqin, these accounts are still a lot, each of which needs to be understood by her, so that she knows it well.

——

Yingzheng and they have traveled to many places in the Mauryan Empire during this time, and this time they did not go to the royal capital of the Mauryan Empire.

From what he has seen and heard during this time, Ying Zheng has a general understanding of this place.

The kingdom was corrupt and the king was even more mediocre and tyrannical.

Jainism was very rampant in the Mauryan Dynasty, but fortunately, the appearance of their Great Qin people made them fearful.

During this time in the Mauryan Dynasty, they also saw a lot of merchants from Great Qin, and many of Great Qin's products were very popular in the Mauryan Dynasty, and they were sold at very high prices.

Of course, Zhao Qingrui asked the Mauryan Dynasty to buy a steam engine has been found out, there are currently six steam engines in the Peacock Dynasty, and they have disassembled three, but they have not made this thing out, mainly because the smelting technology is not up to par, and there is no rubber yet.

They didn't dare to dismantle the rest, but even so, relying on the steam engine, they still spun a lot of cloth and made a lot of money.

"The Emperor, I've found out, but I want to destroy those steam engines?" Wang Jian said solemnly, the steam engine is a thing of Daqin, and it must not be cheap for these people.

"No need, Qingrui has already divided Fusu and them, and when the Peacock Dynasty is defeated, this steam engine will be given to Fusu and them." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"This matter was discussed so quickly?" Wang Qian's eyes widened, knowing that there was a connection between the First Emperor and His Majesty, but he didn't expect to discuss this matter so quickly.

"Well, let's go back first, and we'll take a look when it's time to attack the Peacock Dynasty." Ying Zheng nodded proudly, since he knew how his daughter was selected by the princes and kings, Ying Zheng became more and more satisfied.

"Okay, when the time comes, the old minister will have to go to the battlefield to try, I hope Your Majesty won't stop the old minister at that time." Wang Jian immediately said happily, the battlefield, he hasn't been there for many years, I'm really looking forward to it.
