Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 274 Surname Questions
, "Today is a family banquet, so you don't need to be too polite." Ying Zheng waved his hand and led the people from the harem to the top.

Seeing so many people, Ying Zheng was not surprised. These children of his have given birth to many children.

Although he didn't pay much attention to them, he didn't pay attention to everything. After all, he was his son, and he was clear about their general situation.

Zhao Qingrui was sitting behind Yingzheng's concubines and the concubines were sitting in the back. When there were more people, the courtyard became more and more lively.

Zhao Qingrui was surrounded by a bunch of children, who had stayed in Xianyang before and studied in the palace.

"Little aunt, do you still have any comic books here?" Ziying saw that Xiaobai ignored him, and even when they approached, Xiaobai still wanted to bite them, so he gave up the idea of ​​teasing Xiaobai.

"Yes, but well, I will give it to whoever gets a perfect score when you take the end-of-year exam in a few days." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

These children are very smart, and Zhao Qingrui likes them very much.

Zhao Qingrui's words immediately stunned many people. It is easy to pass the exam, but it is not easy to get full marks in the exam. The little aunt always tosses people like this, which makes them love and hate.

Looking at their appearance, Zhao Qingrui was immediately happy. If they were allowed to get it easily, they would not be rare, so it is better to set a standard for them.

Ziying's grades were almost the best among this group of children, and he also got the most comic books.

"Little aunt, why don't you make it more difficult?" Another child, Yu, tried to negotiate terms with Zhao Qingrui. This child is a child of the son Gao's family. He is more than a year younger than Ziying, and he is also the leader of this group of children.

"That's not acceptable." Zhao Qingrui shook her head.

Yin Man sat next to Wang Xia, with a gentle smile on her face, "Little sister is still so popular."

"Yeah, what I said is not as useful as my little sister's." Wang Xia glanced at Ziying and said with disgust.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingrui didn't have so much time to play with these children, and would often give them some test papers, so that they would not forget to study after playing wildly.

Ziying can study so well now, Wang Xia is also very grateful to Zhao Qingrui.

Fusu is also looking at this side, silently imitating how Zhao Qingrui gets along with these children. He likes his own children, as well as his nephews and nieces, but sometimes he doesn't know how to get along with them.

As for his own child, Ziying, he mostly asked him to study hard, and then inspected his homework. The relationship between father and son was not too close.

All kinds of food were brought up, many of which were never seen by these princes and princesses, and the taste of these foods was still very fragrant, and even the noisy children stopped making trouble at this time.

Seeing a group of people who had never seen the world, Ying Zheng was disgusted and ashamed for a while.

The concubines don't know much about Zhao Qingrui's affairs, and they don't have much contact with her, and His Majesty doesn't let them have more contact with Zhao Qingrui.

"Little aunt, why do you have so many delicious foods here?" Ziying squinted his eyes as he ate the cake.

"A lot? That's it. I remember that Yichun Palace also has a small kitchen, and my eldest brother should let someone come and learn how to make these dishes." Zhao Qingrui laughed.

"What they cook is not as delicious as the ones here."

"Then don't eat it." Wang Xia patted his head lightly.

Ziying stuck out his tongue, everything about Yichun Palace was decided by his mother, if he made his mother angry, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters like it, Zhao Qingrui is also very happy.

Now those recipes have been spread, and their lives are much better now. Seeing everyone's changes, Zhao Qingrui is sincerely happy.

"Your Highness, I am fortunate to fulfill my mission." Zhang Liang came back, bringing all the noble children with him, without any accidents.

"Not bad, Shu County was well arranged by you." Seeing Zhang Liang, Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied.

After going out for more than two months, Zhang Liang got a little tanned and lost a lot of weight, but he looked more energetic.

However, Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on Zhang Liang's face, and he forcibly tossed the pretty girl's face into the appearance of a strong man.

It was the first time Zhao Qingrui saw Zhang Liang like this, and he felt strange.

"This is the duty of a minister." Zhang Liang said respectfully.

In the past, he only wanted to restore the country. After following Zhao Qingrui, he has been in charge of the secretary's work, and has no chance to get in touch with the head of Guizhou.

After going out this time and seeing the life of Qianshou in person, it still touched him a lot.

He also learned a lot from the heads of Guizhou.

The lives of the heads of Guizhou are better than before. They admire the rule of the Great Qin even more, and they worship His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even more. Many people even set up longevity cards for them.

Seeing the hearts of all the people, Zhang Liang was in a very complicated mood. This kind of people's hearts had never been seen in the previous six countries. The return of the heads of the Guizhou to the Great Qin shocked him unceasingly.

"Return the Ding Qin Sword to Your Highness." Zhang Liang offered the Ding Qin Sword with both hands.

Lu Zhi glanced at Zhao Qingrui, understood, and walked over to take it from Zhang Liang.

"Your credit this time, I have asked Feng Yushi to write it down for you. This is for you. This is the key to the house in the suburbs. You have everything with me." Zhao Qingrui took out the key and handed it to Zhang Liang .

Originally Zhang Liang didn't want to accept it, but according to what Zhao Qingrui said, everyone has it, so there's nothing he can't accept, so he just put the key away.

Seeing Zhang Liang's cheerfulness, Zhao Qingrui was even more satisfied.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Liang thanked earnestly.

"You're welcome, tell me what happened when you went to Shu County." Zhao Qingrui is quite interested in this matter. Now that she is in charge of the government, it is not so easy to go out. Xianyang took a stroll.

"No." Zhang Liang said respectfully, and then slowly talked about what happened after entering Shu County.

Zhao Qingrui listened carefully, Zhang Liang is quite talented in storytelling.

With his status as an imperial envoy, coupled with the Dingqin Sword he held, and the power of the First Emperor, no one would dare to disobey him even in various places. Zhang Liang's trip was considered smooth.

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Zhao Qingrui's heart moved slightly. She had guessed that Daqin's people's hearts would belong to her, but she didn't expect the people's hearts to reach this level.

Not bad, it should be easier for the people to implement any system to be promulgated in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui's mood improved.

"You've been busy for so long, I'll give you two days off and take a good rest." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang with concern, with the exhaustion on his face and bloodshot eyes, let him take a good rest Bar.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, I will leave." He really needed to take a good rest.

Zhang Liang retreated, and Zhao Qingrui asked people to pay attention to those noble juniors who followed, and asked them to send some gifts over.

These people still have some credit along the way, and there are rewards and punishments to make those people obedient in the future.

After the matter here was settled, Zhao Qingrui took someone directly to check the registration booklet for Qianshou.

Today, the territory of Daqin is much larger than that of Qin before, and the establishment of the prefecture and county system also allows the court to manage it better, but it is also more troublesome.

Zhao Qingrui didn't come to see it on a whim, she had wanted to see it for some time.

With the change of policy, the population of Daqin will surely usher in an explosive growth, and she must carefully understand these heads of state.

Flipping through these brochures, Zhao Qingrui frowned more and more. The names of these Qianshou were all strange, and many of them were the same. They were called mountains, stones, and dogs. have.

But those who have a surname are a minority.

"Your Highness, is there any problem?" Wei Xi asked cautiously. After working here for more than half a year, he gradually became familiar with the affairs of the court.

After learning about the affairs of the court, he respected Zhao Qingrui even more.

"I remember that you are the descendant of the Zongheng family, and your family is just an ordinary Qianshou. How much do you know about Qianshou?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi. She knew all the outstanding talents in the court. Wei Xi's name was On this list of excellent reserve talents.

"Yes, I am under the tutelage of Mr. Gan Luo." Wei Xi said respectfully.

"Gan Luo? He's still alive?" Zhao Qingrui was stunned for a moment, good guy, this Wei Xi is from a famous family, Gan Luo was worshiped as Shangqing by the First Emperor at the age of 12, a famous child prodigy in history.

Zhao Qingrui was also curious about Gan Luo, and her father also told her about it.

After the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, Gan Luo resigned from office and retired. He did not love power. Ying Zheng knew that he could not keep him, so he let him go. worry free.

"Your Highness, sir, he is now enjoying his old age in peace." Wei Xi was a little confused, but said seriously.

He is not Gan Luo's introductory disciple, he just taught him a little more.

When he knew that he was going to participate in Xianyang's Hundred Officials Examination, he had told him that if His Majesty and the others recruited him again, they would refuse for him. He didn't like officialdom.

Zhao Qingrui was silent for two seconds, and now she will enjoy her old age. She remembered that Gan Luo was three years younger than her father, and her father was still alive and kicking now, and Gan Luo didn't take those pills, so she would just Fifty or so.

Although he was considered old in ancient times, Gan Luo was well-clothed and well-fed. He had no shortage of food and drink, and was served by others. He must be able to live better than ordinary people.

Now hearing the news that Gan Luo is still alive, Dad must be very happy.

"Okay, let's not talk about Mr. Gan Luo, just tell us what you know about Qianshou." Zhao Qingrui sighed softly. It must be great if a smart person like Gan Luo is invited back to continue working for Daqin.

For a talent like Gan Luo, Zhao Qingrui was still a little bit reluctant, and turned around to send something to Gan Luo through Weixi.

"The minister's hometown is Chengdu County, Shu County. There are not many heads of Guizhou, and the land is sparsely populated, but there are not many places that can be cultivated in the heads of Guizhou. The previous land annexation was also quite serious. Fortunately, the system formulated by His Highness made the people of Shu County Life in Qianshou is much easier."

"Life in Qianshou is much better now. There are clothes to wear and fewer people are hungry. Father and the others sent a letter to the minister, saying that they would like to thank His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then what do the heads of Guizhou do on weekdays? What are the difficulties in life?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi.

Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied with the young man's serious attitude, as expected of the talent she was optimistic about.

"The heads of Guizhou used to manage the fields well. At other times, the women were responsible for weaving and taking care of the family, and the men were responsible for supporting the family. However, there were also women who managed the housework and kept the house in order."

"In addition to these, there are also Qianshou families who have no land, so they can only go to work in the homes of nobles and squires, and some who don't want to work, they stay at home and hunt for a living."

Following Wei Xi's description, scenes of life in Qianshou gradually appeared in front of Zhao Qingrui, and she also knew about these. The Beidi County where she lived was also very poor.

Now under her intervention, the capital of Guizhou has been allocated fields, the output of food has also been greatly increased, and the crops cultivated have been improved, etc. Life in the capital of Guizhou is much better than before.

"Most people in Qianshou don't have surnames, which is inconvenient to look at, while nobles have surnames and surnames, which is also troublesome to call. They must be reunified." Zhao Qingrui decided secretly in her heart.

Today's Great Qin is different from later generations. Liu Bang was born from the bottom. He only had a surname but no family name. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he did not have a family name. Naturally, those ministers did not dare to show off in front of him. The matter of surnames was also unified in the Han Dynasty. .

"You tidy up these things. I'll come over and look at them tomorrow." After handing these things over to Wei Xi, Zhao Qingrui sent someone to find his father.

"You girl, can't you let my father rest?" Ying Zheng gave Zhao Qingrui a big roll of his eyes as soon as he came over. He was having fun with the goblin in the harem, and this girl was really disappointing.

"You haven't had enough rest yet? Say it yourself, how many serious things have you done this year? Except for the things in the military, I'm all doing it." Zhao Qingrui was speechless. Dad is living too comfortably. Bar?
"Ahem, dear girl, you're tired." Ying Zheng stopped looking at Zhao Qingrui with a guilty conscience, "Is there anything important you want to come to me?"

"Yes, father, our family is Zhao with the surname Ying, and most of the nobles have surnames, and it is a bit troublesome to call them. Many in Qianshou don't even have surnames." Zhao Qingrui poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"Well, I know about this, is there a problem?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui suspiciously.

"I would like to agree with the issue of the surname. In the future, only the surname will be recorded in the household registration book of Qianshou, and no family name will be recorded. Qianshou must also have a surname. The question of what surname is will be discussed later. What do you think?"

"Remove Clan, those nobles may have made trouble, but this is also good for management, I think it's good." Ying Zheng stroked the beard that had just grown.

His previous face looked too young, even more tender than Fusu's, so he also grew a beard again.

"It's good if you agree. On the noble side, we didn't refuse them to use their surnames. We just stopped registering them in the household registration book. Even if we want to make trouble, there will be no problems." As long as the father supports him, those nobles will It's nothing.

Those aristocratic thorns had already been cut off when they spread out, and if they made trouble again, Zhao Qingrui would have a way to deal with them.
