Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 100 Relief for Work
Zhao Qingrui is very satisfied with the development here. The hill is big enough, with fruit trees and some high-yielding crops like sweet potatoes.

There are several more breeding areas at the foot of the mountain, which specialize in breeding chickens and ducks.

Zhao Qingrui took Guanshi Pang to several other villages, and they were all developing according to their own plans, so Zhao Qingrui felt relieved immediately.

After inspecting several villages, it was almost evening. Zhao Qingrui went to the village where the brick kiln was built. The foundation of the brick kiln had been laid.

Zhao Qingrui is willing to pay, and the people who work here work very hard, and the brick kiln can be built in a short period of time.

When she returned to Xuanyi Palace, it was already late, and her father was already waiting for her to eat.

Ever since Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace, Ying Zheng liked to come over to have dinner with his two daughters.

"Father is still waiting for me?" Zhao Qingrui smiled. Since the ancestor worship, Ying Zheng asked her to change her name, and called her father with her brothers and sisters.

"Otherwise, it's so dangerous to stay outside at this late hour. It's dangerous for you to be outside as a girl." After several assassinations, Ying Zheng now has a lot of people around him.

Although he was not completely sure in his heart, Zhao Qingrui was so important that he would never allow the little girl to make any mistakes.

If Zhao Qingrui doesn't come back, he will send someone to find her.

"What danger can there be? This is Xianyang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to mess around?" Zhao Qingrui laughed, besides, she can protect herself.

Now that Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang have all been arrested, apart from these people, the rest of the six kingdoms will not be able to make a fortune at all.

After dinner, Ying Zheng went to lose weight, and Zhao Qingrui was stuffed with a lot of political affairs by Ying Zheng.

Father is becoming more and more lazy now, Zhao Qingrui began to watch resignedly.

These are basically memorials sent from various places, describing the situation in each place, such as where theft occurred, and what problems occurred when the corvee was collected.

Zhao Qingrui suddenly realized that the corvee time for the first half of this year has come again.

Many of these memorials mentioned the issue of corvée. Zhao Qingrui picked out all these memorials, and will discuss this matter with his father later.

Only use strong means to suppress those corvees. Sooner or later, these people will riot, and other methods must be found.

In addition to the corvee incident, there was continuous heavy rain in a certain place. The local sheriff was afraid that something might happen, so he reported it.

There are a lot of these papers in a mess, Zhao Qingrui frowned, thinking that her father can't do it all, and let him make decisions on everything, so what do you want those officials to do?Waiting for rice?

During this period of time, he was losing weight every day, and Ying Zheng felt that his body had improved a lot, even better than when he was young.

The stomach has also been reduced a little, and it is indeed more convenient to lose weight.

After running for a few laps, although I was a little tired, it was not as painful as it was at the beginning.

"How do you look?" Ying Zheng said softly when he saw his daughter frowning.

"I've read it all, and I have a lot of questions." Zhao Qingrui took a sip from her teacup, and a slight bitterness came from her mouth, which relieved the fatigue between her brows a little.

"Oh? Can it be solved?" Ying Zheng wiped his face with a cotton cloth sent by the lady-in-waiting, and asked with a smile. He naturally knew that there were many problems that needed to be solved urgently.

"I think you just deliberately didn't want to think of a solution, so you left these troubles to me." Zhao Qingrui looked at him angrily. Whose father is like this, and he just makes trouble for her.

"There is a way that those who are capable work harder, and the widow also believes in your ability, so I came to you. I haven't seen the widow looking for Fusu and the others. This is the widow's trust in you." I don't care about my daughter's complaints, Ying Zheng smiled. road.

"I want to leave this honor to Brother Fusu and the others." Zhao Qingrui looked at her father sadly, and stared at her alone, even though she had so many brothers and sisters.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, the widow is planning to go on tour for a while and bring you along, do you want to play?" Ying Zheng said softly.

"Think about it, I haven't seen other places in Daqin properly yet." Zhao Qingrui suddenly became interested, and his eyes lit up.

In history, this was the last tour of the first emperor, but with her, the direction of Daqin has undergone tremendous changes, at least the father is still healthy and healthy.

"Okay, let's be happy now, can these problems be solved?" Ying Zheng was secretly proud, how to make his daughter happy is not easy.

"Let's talk about the torrential rain first. I remember that this county is where the Lingqu passes through. I want someone to dig the Lingqu wide. As for who will build it, I'm tentatively deciding who will be a corvee." Zhao Qingrui wrote the book. He rummaged through the play book of the rainstorm and said.

"Well, it coincides with the widow's idea, but working during the heavy rain, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things going on, and then someone will say that the widow has raped the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng nodded.

"This will be resolved together with these corvee matters." Zhao Qingrui brought the pile of corvee records and placed them in front of Ying Zheng.

"Tell me." Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw that his daughter had a way. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with bringing these things to her.

If Fusu were to do it, I don't know how long it would take, and I probably wouldn't be able to come up with an effective solution.

"Abolish corvee, and use work as relief." Zhao Qingrui leaned comfortably on the stool, with a thick leather covering behind the stool. Although it is not as comfortable as those modern sofas, it is also very soft.

"Replacement of work for relief, but Yanzi's way of building the 'Taiwan of Road Sleeping'?" Ying Zheng pondered.

"That's right, after canceling the corvee, voluntary registration will be adopted, and the court will provide money and food, which is equivalent to the court being the boss and recruiting workers to work." Zhao Qingrui looked at her father. The corvee in Daqin was too hard. Dad has too many places to build.

Zhao Qingrui felt that the genes of the infrastructure madman in the Chinese people's bones came from her father.

"So, is there anyone willing to do it?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui hesitantly.

"As long as we can provide money and food, some people are willing to do it. My father, the leaders of Guizhou are living in poverty. For food, they are willing to do a lot of things." Zhao Qingrui sighed.

"To support the corvee of the whole Great Qin, the widow can't afford so much money and food." Ying Zheng's face was distorted, there was finally something in the treasury, everyone was staring at his treasury, right?

"Let's slow down those construction periods and take your time." Zhao Qingrui also had a headache. Daqin was indeed poor, and she went to the treasury to check. There were not many things, especially the food, except that it had to be sent to Shangjun. Yes, there is not much left.

Yingzheng remained silent. His imperial mausoleum hadn't been completed yet, the Great Wall had only been repaired to a certain extent, the Lingqu canal still had to be dug, and the Efang Palace needed many people to complete the construction. These things couldn't be stopped.

　There is a story recorded in "Yanzi Chunqiu": During the period of Qi Jinggong, there was a famine in Qi State, and Yanzi asked to distribute food to the people, but Jinggong refused.At that time, Yan Zi was in charge of the construction of the "Road Sleeping Platform". He ordered the officials to increase the wages of hired workers, increase the length of the road, and delay the construction period without urging them.Three years later, the platform was built, and Yanzi not only completed the task assigned by the leader, but also gave the people a boost.

　　Yan Zi’s practice is called “relief with work” by later generations, and infrastructure, as a tool for counter-cyclical adjustment, has always been an important starting point for stabilizing growth and supporting the economy. The development of infrastructure has a strong driving effect on upstream and downstream investment .
