Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 265 Demolition Matters
After visiting Wang Jian, it was too late to return to Xuanyi Palace, and Yin Man had already gone back.

Zhao Qingrui held a black pill. Compared with medicine, she still felt that pills were more reliable.

But, how can Wang Jian take this pill?

After propping his head and pondering for a while, Zhao Qingrui made a decision in his heart, and was going to borrow the name of his old fairy master to use it.

I bought a small porcelain bottle and put the pills in it.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qingrui was woken up, and Xiang Liang and the others were all arrested. There are many people in Xianyang who lack money, especially Baijin, even the nobles have a lot of them heartbeat.

Looking at the few people who were arrested, these people looked very embarrassed.

Zhao Qingrui watched quietly, without any fluctuations in her complexion. The misery of these people did not move her any compassion.

These people are poisonous snakes hiding in the dark. As long as they seize the opportunity, they want to destroy the stability of Daqin.

"Baoqin, you will die badly." Xiang Liang roared with hatred.

"Oh, it's just a prisoner. I have already sent people out to arrest the members of the Xiang family. I want you to disappear from the field." Ying Zheng sneered. He could tolerate these remnants of the six kingdoms living in Daqin, but he couldn't tolerate them all. And challenge things again and again.

"Come on, these people pull down, the car cracks." Ying Zheng said coldly.

Xiang Liang and the others were gagged and pulled down. The Qilin Hall was as quiet as a chicken, and no one dared to speak.

His Majesty has restrained his temper a lot over the years, but it is rare to lose his temper like this today. Even if they are far away, His Majesty's aura still makes them tremble.

"Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, wanted to commit the remaining crimes of the Chu state and recover the losses, but he was not good in custody, and he was fined for one year's salary." Yingzheng did not plan to punish more, and Wang Ben did not make any serious mistakes. Ben.

"Your Majesty is fined, thank you." Wang Ben said respectfully.

"Well, get flat." Ying Zheng nodded lightly.

"What else is going on today?" Ying Zheng asked the officials below.

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister has played." An official stood up.

"allow."

"Your Majesty, the house on the other side of the palace is about to be completed. I wonder what orders your Majesty has next?" the official bowed.

"Qingrui." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui. She was going to move Xianyang's Qian capital there and redesign Xianyang. Let Zhao Qingrui handle this matter.

"Yes, father, since the suburban area is almost built, I need to take a closer look in two days, and then make follow-up plans." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

It is not a small problem to want to move the head of Guizhou, and it is not a small problem to pay for the demolition if the imperial court has money.

There is also an old man watching from the sidelines, who is already preparing to attack the Huns.

Fighting a war, or fighting the Xiongnu, she naturally agrees, but this court, even if it is making money, it is too late, because money is everywhere in the court.

Fortunately, the tax revenue has started to increase now, otherwise it would be impossible for her to do these things again with the previous mess.

He also said some other things, Zhao Qingrui didn't have much interest in listening, she just wanted to see how much money was left in the national treasury, excluding father's military salary, and the operation of the court, how much money could be used .

Seeing that his daughter was a little distracted, Ying Zheng didn't have anything important to do when he saw the court meeting, so he went directly to the court.

"What are you thinking? My mind is distracted during the court meeting." Ying Zheng said softly.

"I'm thinking about the treasury, father, let's go see how much money is left in the treasury." As he said that, he was about to drag Ying Zheng towards Zhi Su Nei.

"What is the treasury doing?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

"Father, if you want to move the Qian capital of Xianyang and re-plan Xianyang, which one doesn't cost money? Just let those people relocate, and don't come up with a plan? If you force them to relocate directly, it will definitely happen. No, you have also seen that there are still a lot of remnants of the Six Kingdoms hidden, and they seize the opportunity to blackmail you." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.

"Headache, let's go and have a look first." Hearing what his daughter said, Ying Zheng only heard two words from it, asking for money.

As soon as he mentioned asking for money, he felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to fight the Huns, but his daughter couldn't make things too difficult, so that he would have no money to fight.

His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Zhisu Nei in person, and Su Ling hurriedly led the officials of Zhi Su Nei to bow down.

"Don't be too polite, I'll take a look at the account books of the state treasury, Mr. Su, please come out and let me have a look." Zhao Qingrui is not in the mood to admire the handsome man at the moment.

Now it's almost the end of the year, and it's time for the autumn harvest in Guizhou. When the grain is harvested, the treasury will be filled again.

"No." Su Ling was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ordered someone to take out the account book.

There is already a large amount of grain stored in the treasury, which can fully support the consumption of the imperial court, and there is even a surplus.

"Your Majesty, it's time to pay taxes again. There may not be so much room in the treasury for grain storage. I would like to ask Your Majesty to build a few more granaries." Su Ling said respectfully.

"Going to build a granary again? You take my letter and go to General Zuo Shaofu, let him find some people to build the granary." Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then became happy.

As long as there is a lot of food, there is no need to be afraid of disaster years in the future.

Zhao Qingrui, who was flipping through the books, raised his head, "It would be a good thing to collect a large amount of grain. From the tax revenue, it can be seen that the life of the head of Guizhou in Daqin is getting better and better. Father, do you have any plans for these taxes? ?”

"The plan, of course, is to store it in case of a disaster year, and at the same time adjust the price of food on the market, what are your plans?" Ying Zheng mused, the girl must have some other ideas when she mentioned this matter.

"If so much grain is harvested every year, Daqin will not be able to digest the grain, and it will spoil if left unattended, and it may not be easy to sell. Nowadays, the price of sweet potatoes is very low. Father should understand." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Well, I've heard people report that it's already a Qin and a half a pound, and the price has dropped too fast." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

But he is very happy, the price of food is low, even those who are very poor can afford it.

It's just that the price is a bit hurtful to the people, these grains can't afford the price.

"Yeah, it's too cheap. Fortunately, these things can be stored for a long time. If so much tax is collected every year in the future, or even more, the treasury will definitely not be able to put it down. It's over." Zhao Qingrui looked at her father seriously.

"Then what do you want to do?" Ying Zheng pondered for a few seconds, and understood what the girl meant. Today's Daqin is different from the past. Some of the food can be stored, but not too much, or it will be wasted.

"I want to reduce some taxes." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

Su Ling stood respectfully by the side, and when he heard Zhao Qingrui's words, he sincerely admired her in his heart. It is the great Qin's fortune to have her as the heir apparent.

She really loves the people, and she hopes that Qianshou can live a better life.

If she wasn't the crown prince or the first emperor's child, he would definitely have recruited her into the Mohist family. She loves the world, and the philosophy of the Mohist family is very similar.

"Reducing taxes? That's a good thing, but if I want to attack tribes like the Xiongnu Yuezhi and the Maurya Dynasty, it will require a lot of food." Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"Father, you don't fight wars like this. After you are defeated, the imperial court still has to take over and manage them. It's not that you finished fighting the Xiongnu, and then went overseas without stopping." Zhao Qingrui Reluctantly said.

No wonder Daqin will become what it was before. Dad thinks too far, wants to formulate all the rules at once, wants to complete the infrastructure of Daqin, and leave a stable Daqin for future generations.

Doing so has disadvantages in the present, and merits in the future, and it cannot be said to be a bad thing.

All Dad wanted was to get these things done in one step.

In fact, reality doesn't allow it at all.

Zhao Qingrui's words made Yingzheng fall into deep thought. He knew before that he was too anxious and consumed the national power of Daqin excessively. It was only under Zhao Qingrui's governance in the past two years that the national power recovered a little. That's all.

"I'm impatient." Ying Zheng sighed.

"Father also wants to expand the territory and make Daqin stronger. I am very happy that Father can listen to what I have to say." Zhao Qingrui's eyebrows and eyes curved.

This is probably the difference between her and Fusu, Fusu is too straightforward and too gentleman.

On the contrary, she felt that she was more unscrupulous, as long as it was useful to her, she could use it.

Being supported by his daughter, Yingzheng was very happy. If he didn't have a daughter, Fu Su would have to directly advise him to give up attacking the Huns and the like.

"Let's talk about this later. We still need food and taxes. At least we have to wait until the next five-year plan meeting to bring it up." Ying Zheng smiled more.

"Well, that's fine." Zhao Qingrui nodded. There is a lot of food needed for war, and it really needs a lot of storage.

Looking at the money in the national treasury, Zhao Qingrui has a bottom line.

In addition to the land tax, the most common thing is the commercial tax. Today's commercial tax revenue has completely exceeded the land tax.

Today's merchants are not as constrained as before, and even the DPRK and China deliberately encourage business, so that Daqin's economy began to prosper.

Looking at the money on the ledger, Zhao Qingrui froze for a moment.

"So much business tax?" Zhao Qingrui muttered.

"Yes, they are still pouring into the national treasury. His Highness encourages business and lets people develop the sea. All kinds of goods from the sea are very popular in the interior and sell well. Even if there are tax evasions and the like, but It still can't stop the continuous influx of money into the treasury." Su Ling said seriously.

"As expected of my daughter." Ying Zheng laughed, filled with pride.

"According to the speed at which the money comes in, compensation for relocation will be enough." Zhao Qingrui knew it well, and closed the account book in her hand.

"Su Juzi is busy first, father and I have to leave beforehand." After greeting Su Ling, Zhao Qingrui took his father and left Zhisu Nei.

"Order of the Zhao government, call Li Si, Feng Quji, and Feng Jie over here. I have something important to discuss with them." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhao Gao.

When they returned to Zhangtai Palace, Li Si and the others were already waiting here. It wasn't long before the court meeting ended, and they hadn't left the palace yet.

"Sit down, please, go get some tea." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

Wang Xian helped Zhao Qingrui put the playing book on the desk on the other side, leaving the desk empty.

"You can do whatever you want." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui. He was naturally happy with more and more money in the treasury. What my daughter has to do now is to make Daqin more and more prosperous. good.

Although he felt sorry for the money, he was still willing to support his daughter to let go.

Seeing her father's encouraging eyes, Zhao Qingrui felt more confident, and her father really had nothing to say to her.

Several people looked at each other, and asked His Majesty to make decisions for the prince. I'm afraid this matter is not a trivial matter.

"Your Highness summoned the ministers to come to Zhangtai Palace. Do you have anything to order?" Li Si sat on Zhao Qingrui's left and looked at Zhao Qingrui seriously.

"The palaces and temples outside Xianyang have been demolished, and the construction of residential areas is coming to an end. I want to move all of Xianyang's Qianshou there." Zhao Qingrui looked at these people and talked about his plan.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to move them all over. If someone disagrees, or takes the opportunity to make trouble, there will still be a lot of negative impact." Li Si frowned slightly.

"I know that I need to re-plan the city of Xianyang. If those Guizhou heads stay where they are, it will affect my follow-up plans, so I moved them away."

They had heard Zhao Qingrui mention the matter of re-planning Xianyang before, and they were not too surprised at the moment.

"I came to you today because I want you to discuss a suitable compensation plan for demolition and relocation." Zhao Qingrui stated her purpose directly.

Now these people are all from their own side, so there is no need to play tricks with them.

"Your Highness rebuilt a better house for them, so there's no need to lose money, right?" Feng Jie felt that losing money was not an option. He also went to see that building with his brother, and that house was better than the one they live in now.

Even if they were allowed to move there, Daqin would be at a loss.

It's just that His Royal Highness has those heads of Guizhou in his heart, and he still has to lose money if he is like this, he must be crazy.

"Your Highness wants those people to relocate as soon as possible?" Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui.

"That's right, but I'm not sure how to pay for this compensation, so I came to you to discuss a workable countermeasure." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Your Highness, I feel that some compensation is enough, not too much. That house is already very good for Qianshou to live in. It is better than the existing house in Daqin." Feng Quji said seriously, and he was short of talking about the house. It's no worse than the palace, if he is allowed to move there, he is also willing.

"That's right, what Feng Xiang said is reasonable, and the court's money needs to be used wisely." Li Si said in agreement.

"The compensation and relocation matters still need your help." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Your Highness, I have some ideas." Feng Quji pondered.

"Please tell me, Mr. Feng." Zhao Qingrui looked at Feng Quji, as expected of his father's right-hand man, and there was a solution so soon.
