Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 239 Changing the Post Office

"A good strategy? I have some ideas, and I want you to advise me." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"I have post offices all over Daqin. I wonder what you think about this?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Si and the others.

The post station invests a lot of property every year, but it is only used to deliver official documents from various places. In Zhao Qingrui's view, this is really a waste.

"The post station is the most important thing in the transmission of information between the DPRK and China. Your Highness wants to rectify the post station?" Feng Quji hesitated.

"Well, I have this idea. Daqin's post office invests a lot of money every year, but it's just for delivering official documents. It's a waste. I want the post post to be used by the leaders of the world." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Your Highness, this is impossible. If it is used by the head of Guizhou, some people with a heart will meddle in official documents and intercept information, which will be extremely detrimental to the management of Daqin." Feng Quji's face changed drastically, and he wanted to make Zhao Qingrui give up this dangerous idea.

"That's right, Your Highness, if the official documents are mixed with items from the head of Guizhou, it will be detrimental to the transmission of information between the court and the central government." Li Si also had a bitter face.

"I think you two misunderstood me." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.

"Qing Rui, what do you want to do?" Ying Zheng also walked in at this time.

"I've seen my father." Zhao Qingrui hurriedly saluted, and the others followed suit.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the ministers will definitely plan all these things." Feng Quji and others said respectfully, if it is done well, this is a great achievement, and it may be famous in history in the future.

Following Zhao Qingrui's words, a new post office appeared in front of them. If she followed what she said, it would be completely feasible, and this would also reduce some of the court's burden.

Ying Zheng was also thinking about it. If he followed what his daughter said, it would indeed relieve a lot of financial pressure.

"Your Highness's idea is good. In this way, the court will not need to spend too much money." Feng Jie said in agreement, as long as he gave up a part of the benefits, those businessmen would only earn more.

"We only talk about sending letters. Calculated according to three Qin and half liang, 1 people send letters, that's [-] yuan."

"Then how much money should be paid by the court? The money in the court needs to be enough for the salaries and military salaries of the officials, and there is also a part for backup. There is not much money that can be used." Silently calculated an account, Feng Quji Seriously.

"There are so many people participating in the assessment this time, and when the time comes, all these people will be sent to the grassroots, so that we don't have to worry about redundant officials."

It's a pity that those people didn't have much to say. It was their father and daughter who had the final say in the court, and their prestige in Qianshou was also extremely high.

They are already extremely human ministers, and what they are looking for now is fame.

She didn't know how profitable the express delivery industry was in her previous life, but they definitely didn't lose money.

The eyes of a few people flickered, and they were indeed very interesting.

"As for posting things, you also need to charge a certain amount of money, and at the same time it can be convenient for the head of Guizhou. This is for the benefit of the people." Zhao Qingrui explained her thoughts.

"And most of Daqin's money is in the hands of those merchants. If it's just a gift, take a few Qin Banliang, and if it's a delivery, it will be calculated according to the weight of the goods."

"Implementation still requires the construction of a large number of post offices, and I plan to contract out the construction tasks to merchants and build them into buildings." Zhao Qingrui talked about her plan.

"Father, what I mean is that the post office allows the imperial court's information to come faster, but too much money is invested every year. I want to divide the interior of the post post into two parts, one dedicated to the imperial court's letters and items, and the other Part of it will be used by Qianshou."

You can move to Daqin to try. The official express delivery can also make the head of Guizhou more trustworthy.

"Accommodating at a post post. The post post provides meals and hot water. It costs about [-] and a half taels a night. Merchants go to various places to do business. The post is safe and cheap, so they must choose the post."

"Your Highness, is this suspected of competing with the people for profit?" Li Si said helplessly. This Highness always likes to make money in various ways. I don't know how many people in the court criticized her, saying that she was fighting for profits with the people.

"Build a house at the post post, provide it to passing officials or Guisou to live in, and collect a certain amount of money."

"The distribution of personnel needed in the post station, how much money is needed to deliver letters, how much money is needed for accommodation, and how much benefits are given up, all of which require you to make a detailed plan." Zhao Qingrui looked relaxed and handed over these chores to Several people.

"Your Majesty, I think you can give it a try. According to what Your Highness said, it will greatly facilitate the people of the world and not delay the transmission of official documents between the court and China." Li Si stood up first.

"So, let's try it." Feng Quji no longer insisted, he also felt that he could try it, and Daqin's treasury can now withstand the toss.

"Everyone has also seen that the life of Qianshou in Daqin is getting better day by day, and more people come from Xianyang, and businessmen are the most among the counties and counties."

The details of this need to be carefully discussed with the two prime ministers.

"What do you think, father?" Zhao Qingrui looked at his father expectantly.

"What do you think?" Ying Zheng looked at them and asked.

"How can I compete with the people for profit? This is obviously a policy of benefiting the people. Let me figure it out for you." Zhao Qingrui said confidently.

"Daqin needs to operate and needs a lot of talents. The grassroots is a good place, and you can climb up better if you have merit." Zhao Qingrui poured a cup of tea for the old man himself.

"When contracting to those businessmen, the court will give some benefits, such as allowing them to advertise at the post station, or exempting them from business taxes. I believe many people will be tempted." Zhao Qingrui pondered for a while, and the court It is true that there is not much money that can be transferred at will.

"It's not bad, you can do it freely." These words also represented Ying Zheng's support for Zhao Qingrui.

"As for the goods, can the merchants have less goods? Calculate according to the weight, for example, how much is less than one hundred catties, and how much is more than one hundred catties,..."

"Adding a convenient residence for the head of Guizhou and delivering letters will require a large number of additional manpower, and the court is already short of manpower." Feng Quji was a little hesitant. Although this could be profitable, it also increased the post office's expenses. .

With Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Qingrui immediately relaxed, so let's do it.

Following Zhao Qingrui gave them hope. Under her orders one after another, Daqin has undergone tremendous changes rapidly and is becoming more and more prosperous little by little.

Seeing them agree, Zhao Qingrui looked at these people with emotion.

In today's situation, it is not possible to directly copy various modern systems, but Daqin's existing institutions are bloated, but it can be improved, and the cabinet system can be tried.

After seeing them off, Zhao Qingrui followed her father to Xuanyi Palace for dinner.

"I just saw that you were out of your mind, what were you thinking?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui and asked.
