After a while, the officials above the fourth grade hurriedly came to the palace.

The aftershocks occasionally shook twice, and they weren't as intense as before.

Zhangtai Palace and Xianyang Palace are built very strongly, there is no problem at present, Zhao Qingrui sees that there is no threat of the earthquake outside, and he will not continue to stay outside.

Li Si and the others came in and were relieved to see that Zhao Qingrui was fine.

If something happened to His Majesty, they couldn't have thought about it.

"Everyone, now that there is an earthquake in Xianyang City, are any of you injured?" Zhao Qingrui looked at the civil and military officials standing below and said with concern.

"Your Majesty, there are some tiny cracks in the walls of the minister's house." An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said with palpitations.

"The beam of the minister's house was broken and hit a subordinate."

One after another, they talked about their respective situations.

Zhao Qingrui knew in his heart that the disaster was not serious, and most of the officials who had problems in their families had lived in Xianyang before, and the place where they lived did not belong to the demolition area, so they were not relocated.

That is, the old houses, these houses have some problems under the earthquake.

Zhao Qingrui silently sensed it before, and the intensity of the earthquake was around five or six magnitudes, which was not too strong.

I don't know where else there was an earthquake? Where was the epicenter of the earthquake?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui's heart began to plug up, and she began to miss everything in modern times.

"Your Majesty, on the way to the palace, I saw some Xianyang situation, there are no major problems in Xincheng, only some small places fell under the earthquake, just repair it, I haven't heard of the dead yet, only a few injured." Li Si reported to Zhao Qingrui what he saw on the way to the palace.

Others chimed in, adding some of what they saw.

Zhao Qingrui knew in her heart that the intensity of the earthquake was not high, and in the newly built Xianyang City, this part was built according to the highest standards, if there was an earthquake, those buildings would collapse in a large area, and she would definitely pull out all the people who built them and cut them down.

After briefly summarizing these situations, Zhao Qingrui began to discuss post-disaster matters with them.

Just when everyone was discussing how to treat and compensate those who were seriously affected by the disaster, Wang Wensheng, the head of the six departments of the Inspectorate, stood up and said loudly:

"This is heaven's punishment, heaven's punishment for His Majesty."

Zhao Qingrui's face darkened, she has worked hard in the past few years to open up people's wisdom and develop science and technology, just to let everyone know that there is no god in this world, and everything is based on science.

The needle drop in the Qilin Hall could be heard, and everyone looked at Wang Wensheng, this guy is too brave.

If you dare to say these things at this time, I'm afraid you're going crazy.

In the past few years, I have accepted a lot of new things, and everyone still knows some about the principle of earthquakes.

"The front of the palace is talking crazy, pull it down, hit the twenty big boards, and send it to the bookstore." Zhao Qingrui had a cold face, and she didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

There are still a bunch of things waiting for her to be busy now, how can she have time to deal with these people.

She didn't believe in these gods and witches at all, and this person was still in a hurry to find death.

Soon, the guards came in and pulled Wang Wensheng out.

It's a bookstore again, and everyone is used to it.

As long as the court and the central government made mistakes, they all went to work in the bookstore.

It's easy to get in and hard to get out, and everyone respects this place.

And those officials who have committed serious crimes, Daqin still needs a lot of places to build, and these people have been sent to contribute to Daqin's infrastructure.

His Majesty is not a soft-hearted person, and now he is absorbing talents into the court every year, and those who are incapable will soon be eliminated and make room for those who are capable.

Wang Wensheng is an old man, he has worked in the DPRK for many years, and he was promoted by Yingzheng before.

Seeing Zhao Qingrui tidy up the people without changing his face, many people in the court were accustomed to it, and then continued to discuss the next things.

After deliberating for a long time, the matter was settled.

In the evening, the situation everywhere was sent to Zhao Qingrui's desk.

Zhao Qingrui took the report, and the sorrow between her eyebrows was a little less, fortunately, the disaster was not serious, Xianyang can be said to be the most serious, and there are several nearby counties that can also feel the obvious tremors, and there is no feeling in the distance.

This earthquake is not big, at most some corners and corners collapsed, or some old houses collapsed, and there were cracks in the walls.

These problems are not big, and it is easy for the imperial court to solve them.

Seeing this report can be regarded as a relief for her.

As for the number of people who died in the earthquake, now a simple count shows that there are only more than a hundred people, not much.

The arrangements for disaster relief were already being carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhao Qingrui held her face and recalled the disasters recorded by the Han Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, there were 186 well-documented large-scale natural disasters in the 210-year history of the Western Han Dynasty, including 32 floods, 38 droughts, 35 earthquakes, 20 locust plagues, 19 wind disasters, 5 frost disasters, 10 hail disasters, 13 epidemic disasters, and 13 frost disasters.

It's a lot of disasters, and it looks like you'll need to make a little more preparation.

Food should also be well stocked, Zhao Qingrui spread out the map, and her eyes fell on the Americas and Africa, these two places are important to her, even if she arranges for the princes and kings to go to these places, she has to rely on people she trusts.

These are not far from the current Great Qin, and the current climate is still a little impermanent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui rubbed her eyebrows, no matter how you look at it, it's a mess.

There has to be an heir, and this thought popped up again in Zhao Qingrui's heart.

Men have to look for a good look, and they have to choose a smart and good-looking one.

There is no rush in this matter, you can look at it slowly, what needs to be busy now is the earthquake and public opinion.

The weather has not been good in recent years, and there have been some small disasters from time to time.

Today, some people say that heaven has punished them, and it seems that it is not so easy to change traditional thinking.

So, how many people think like this?

Zhao Qingrui touched her chin, and then asked someone to call Xie Peiyun over.

Ying Zheng naturally knew about this side of the matter, so he asked people to ask, and knew that his daughter was fine, so Ying Zheng didn't come over.

He knew that Zhao Qingrui was very busy at this time, and he would only distract his daughter and disturb her when he came over.

"What's going on with the damage?" Ying Zheng was concerned about the situation in the DPRK and China.

"Back to the Emperor, it's not serious, Your Majesty has already arranged for someone to go to the disaster relief." Zhao Gao reported the news he had found to Ying Zheng one by one.

"Well, since Qingrui has been arranged, the widow is also relieved, Qingrui must be very busy at this time, let the kitchen make some tonic soup for her, and watch her drink it." Ying Zheng nodded.

Thinking that her daughter was very busy, Ying Zheng began to feel distressed again, and told Zhao Gao to let the kitchen make some tonic soup for her daughter.

"No." Zhao Gao respectfully stepped back.

Soon, a cup of chicken soup was delivered to Zhao Qingrui.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang asked the slave to watch you finish drinking, and the Emperor Taishang saw that His Majesty was busy with government affairs and didn't have time to eat properly, so he felt sorry for you." Zhao Gao said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhao Qingrui's heart was warm, and she drank the chicken soup honestly.

After the study of the recipes I gave, there are finally more delicacies from all over Daqin.

It's all the result of your own efforts.

It's just that Zhao Qingrui didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter, and his father sent all kinds of tonic soups to him for three meals a day.

Zhao Qingrui touched her nose and had a nosebleed.

Zhao Qingrui was shocked, she made up too much, how many ginseng lingzhi did her father add? ?

"Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor." Zhao Qingrui suddenly had a nosebleed, which scared Shang Lian too.

There was a shortage of soldiers in Zhangtai Palace, and after the imperial doctor came over and prescribed some medicine to drink, Zhao Qingrui's nosebleed finally stopped.

Zhao Qingrui's nosebleed also alarmed Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng was also startled and hurriedly ran to the palace.

"Qingrui, are you alright? What did the Imperial Doctor say? "Ying Zheng is worried, his daughter has been in good health since she was a child, and now she is practicing martial arts, she has never been sick, and this nosebleed really scared him a little.

"I'm fine, I'm just more hot, father, tell me honestly, how many years of ginseng and lingzhi did you ask people to give me to replenish my body?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng helplessly.

"There are a lot of ginseng in the widow's private library, and I have used two for you to stew soup for more than 300 years, and Ganoderma lucidum has also been used for more than 200 years." Ying Zheng was a little weak-hearted, he just wanted to make up for his daughter's body, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

Two three-hundred-year-old ginseng and one two-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Zhao Qingrui looked at the roof of Xianyang Palace, very speechless.

I am also in good health now, and if I eat like this for three or four days, I am afraid that I will not make up for the problem.

"Father, you are a real tiger." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly.

"Ahem, not next time." Ying Zheng is even more empty-hearted.

"In the future, you can just use these things to stew soup, it's too supplemental, you can eat a little occasionally, such as ginseng, and just throw some ginseng whiskers or ginseng slices into it." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"I know, I know, I won't mess around." This incident also gave him a wake-up call.

Zhao Qingrui really regretted it when she saw him, and she was relieved, don't make it up to her like this next time, she can't stand it a little.

After taking the medicine for two days, the anger can be regarded as suppressed.

The earthquake did not have much impact on Daqin, although some tabloids published some inflammatory remarks, but they were only a little subtle, and they did not dare to publicize these things in a big way.

Those who secretly poked and poked and made trouble, all of them were memorized by Zhao Qingrui.

Fortunately, she let people control public opinion in advance, and now everyone is discussing more about how to deal with various disasters.

Now in the Daqin Daily, there are many ways to deal with disasters, which are all practical things, and everyone is very concerned about these things.

Seeing that the follow-up to the earthquake was almost resolved, Zhao Qingrui breathed a sigh of relief.

"The atmosphere in Daqin is still a little sluggish, you see if there is anything that makes people happy, I will let people publish it in the newspaper, so that everyone will be happy." Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Si and them.

It is necessary to make the Qian's leaders aware of the progress and strength of Great Qin, so that they can personally feel the benefits, so that they can support Great Qin more, and it is more difficult for those who are doing things in the dark to incite the people.

Both of them understood Zhao Qingrui's intentions, and they also agreed with Zhao Qingrui's approach in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, this year is going to select outstanding officials again, why don't you put the candidates in the newspaper, write down their achievements, and then have another vote and let everyone choose them, how about it?" To mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Li Si immediately thought of the selection at the end of the year.

"Such a serious matter, how can it be handed over to Qianshou, such a child's play." Feng Quji couldn't help frowning, not very agreeing with Li Si's proposal.

Zhao Qingrui glanced at Li Si in surprise, he was worthy of being a person valued by his father, and he actually brought out the election method of the later generations.

Seeing Zhao Qingrui's surprised look, Feng Qu was heartbroken, His Majesty wouldn't really agree with Li Si's opinion.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of national body, and you must not be hasty." Feng Qujian hurriedly admonished.

"Feng Qing is not in a hurry, I think this method is good, the selection of officials by the imperial court, in the final analysis, is also for the service of the head of the world, and it is understandable to let the head of the head of the Qian." Zhao Qingrui smiled.

"What Your Majesty said is that the deeds of those officials, the Qiantou are more clear, and we can not only enliven the atmosphere of Daqin, but also allow those officials to better serve the Qianshou in the future." Li Si saw that Zhao Qingrui was on his side, and suddenly became more energetic.

As the king of volumes, he will definitely roll all six parts to death, he is the most trusted person of His Majesty!!

"Not bad, Li Qing Feng Qing, when the time comes, you will move a few large boxes over and inform the people in Xianyang City that anyone who wants to come over and participate in the anonymous voting will be adopted, so that..." Zhao Qingrui excitedly told them about the modern experience of anonymous voting.

With Zhao Qingrui's narration, Li Si and Feng Quji probably knew it in their hearts.

First, the voters are registered, and then they are allowed to choose which officials to vote for.

The general process came to mind, and how to operate it was also counted, and both of them fell into deep thought, this method is really good, and it can also be applied to other places.

Seeing that Zhao Qingrui is so excited, this method is really good, and this method can also avoid some officialdom's dark box operations.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji was not so resistant.

With Zhao Qingrui's approval, at the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui directly gave this matter down, and by the way, he talked about it in the newspaper.

After mentioning this matter, the newspaper began to register the list of candidates for outstanding officials.

The leaders can also report the inaccuracies, if it is verified, they will withdraw the names of those candidates for the selection of outstanding officials, and if the circumstances are serious, the court will deal with these people in accordance with the law.

Nothing like this had ever happened in Great Qin, and there was talk of it everywhere.

Let them choose the officials, and the leaders felt very novel, and they were more enthusiastic about participating.
