Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Every day, I reported to my father what was new in Xianyang, and by the way, I reported what I was undecided about.

Zhao Qingrui handed over all the examination matters to Li Si and the others to arrange. She had already passed the examination several times, and she only needed to do the final check.

This year's assessment is more difficult than last year's. Many people who got the test papers were a little dumbfounded.

In the past few years, there have been a lot of previous assessment papers in the bookstore, as well as various mock exam questions, and they have done a lot.

Those who can come to Xianyang to participate in the assessment are all full of confidence in themselves.

But now that they got the test papers, they suddenly didn't have much confidence in themselves.

Zhao Qingrui looked at Lu Zhi and the others' written memorabilia, and suddenly, Zhao Qingrui's eyes froze.

Now all parts of Daqin are gradually stabilized, but the Lingqu that was built before needs to be maintained again. Officials near the Lingqu wrote a letter requesting the issuance of a corvee edict to dredge and maintain the Lingqu.

Corvée, Lingqu is extremely important to Daqin.

The Lingqu Canal connects the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, forming a water transportation network throughout East China and South China.

Moreover, it has played a positive role in consolidating the unity of the country, strengthening political, economic, and cultural exchanges between the North and the South, and intensifying the exchanges between people of all ethnic groups.

The maintenance of Lingqu is very necessary. This time, she wants to maintain it carefully, so that there will be no problems within ten years, and she doesn't want to recruit corvees every year to repair it.

At the court meeting on the second day, Zhao Qingrui sat at the head with a cold expression, "Everyone, the Lingqu canal is silted up now, and the river bank also needs to be maintained. The importance of the Lingqu canal doesn't need me to explain to you in detail."

Zhao Qingrui looked at the officials below, there was still not enough manpower, even Yushitai's manpower was too small.

The once-a-year assessment is not too frequent, but the number of times is also quite high. There is still not much improvement in the situation of Daqin officials.

"Your Highness, the maintenance of Lingqu cannot be delayed. Your Highness, please issue an order." Li Si respectfully said that if something happened to Lingqu, it would be a huge loss to Daqin.

"The minister seconded the proposal." The others also hurriedly said.

They were able to be officials safely because of the internal stability of Daqin. If Daqin was not stable, they would naturally not have a good life.

"Since that's the case, the edict will be issued in a short while. The officials who are going to manage and maintain Lingqu, who has experience and is willing to go?" Zhao Qingrui scanned all the people around.

She remembered that the Lingqu was built by Li Bing and his son. Now that Li Bing has passed away, his son is still in the court.

In this era, probably no one knows more about Lingqu than they do.

"Return to Your Highness, I am willing to go. I and my father were responsible for excavating Lingqu. I know more about Lingqu." Li Yu took the initiative to stand up. Li Yu was Li Erlang back then.

Seeing Li Yu, Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied. Li Yu was able to take the initiative to stand up, and she didn't need to lobby much.

"Since that's the case, Master Li is in charge of this matter. I'll choose two more assistants for you. I can't tire Master Li anymore." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion." Li Yu said respectfully, he was getting older and couldn't be compared to when he was young, if all were left to him, he would have to be busy with even more things.

The younger generation of the Li family didn't have many talents, and he needed to support him. He couldn't die early.

Then, Zhao Qingrui sent two young men who were prudent to Li Yu.

After the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui called Li Yu and the others to Zhangtai Palace.

"This time I asked you to maintain Lingqu, and there is another very important thing for you to do." Zhao Qingrui looked at them seriously.

"Your Highness, please give me instructions. The ministers are willing to share His Highness's worries." Li Yu said calmly.

Since Zhao Qingrui came to power, Lingqu has defended him several times, but he is not as serious as this time.

"Several of you should know about cement. Those houses on the outskirts of Xianyang are all made of cement."

"I have seen that cement is a fetish related to construction." Li Yu said respectfully, this thing is indeed a good thing, and it was brought out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I want to dredge the Lingqu once again. The maintenance on the shore should be replaced by cement. I have asked the people in the Shaofu to make cement with all their strength. At that time, it will be given priority to the maintenance of the Lingqu." Zhao Qingrui said calmly .

"It is said that the cost of this cement is high, and if it is used to maintain the embankment, is the loss of the national treasury too great?" Li Yu hesitated.

Of course he wanted to use such good materials and cement to maintain the dam, so that he would not have to worry about flooding the dam.

"It's not a difficult task. The person who will be the young master has already worked out a way to reduce costs. You can use it with confidence." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"By the way, there is one more thing, you need to do a good job of water level measurement, and you will be like this when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui told Li Yu the importance of water level measurement, and asked him to tell these common senses to the waters around the place when maintaining people.

Li Yu's eyes widened. He didn't expect it to be like this. If the water level measurement is done well, the flood can be prevented in advance and the damage caused by the flood can be reduced.

"Your Highness is Bingxue smart, I admire it, Your Highness can rest assured, I will spread this method to benefit the heads of Guizhou near the waters." Li Yu said seriously.

In the past, he knew that His Highness was intelligent, but he didn't expect her to have such experience in water control. It's really great, so he doesn't have to worry about the monarch pretending to understand and ordering carelessly.

"I didn't come up with this. I also heard from others. In the past few days, you have to make a maintenance plan. It will take a little time for the Shaofu to prepare the materials. Before the things are ready, the plan should be done first." , so as not to miss something in time." Zhao Qingrui waved his hand, not taking credit for it.

"Your Highness is wise, I will go back and finish the plan, and then I will show His Highness." Li Yu nodded earnestly. This Highness has a method and is very modest. Daqin's future is bright.

After sending Li Yu and the others away, Zhao Qingrui took out a map, Lingqu connected the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and opened up the north-south water channel.

This is just the original Lingqu Canal, which has not been expanded by successive dynasties. It is just an artificial canal connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River.

However, there are still many places in Daqin that lack water, and the construction of artificial rivers still needs to continue. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in later generations is very necessary.

It's just that there are still too few Guizhou heads now, and the national strength needs to continue, and we must continue to recuperate.

Of course, if more tools can be produced, such as excavators, a lot of things can be reduced.

However, this can only be thought about, at least not realistic now.

The system mall also has them, but she can't afford them now, and buying two mobile phones will deplete her small coffers.

Even if she has points, she won't buy it. Such things can be made sooner or later, so there is no need to spend such a waste of money.

She really wants to do infrastructure construction now, but Daqin's situation does not allow her to do too much, otherwise Daqin, who is stable, will fall into the state of collapse that her father used to do, so her efforts will be in vain.

Alas, I can only take it slowly.

There are still a lot of things to do, the treasury's current money can't support her wanton infrastructure construction, and the head of Guizhou is not enough.

Thinking about this, Zhao Qingrui felt uncomfortable.

I hope that my father can bring down the tribes of the Xiongnu Yuezhi as soon as possible, so that there will be a large number of prisoners of war and slaves.

At that time, all these people will be assigned to build everything they want to build.

Silently cheering up the old man, and at this time Shangjun, because he won the battle, he still won more with less, his morale was very high, and even Yingzheng was very happy.

Walking on the Great Wall with Meng Tian and Li Xin, looking at the grassland outside the Great Wall, when those tribes are defeated, we must enclose this place, raise more cattle, sheep and horses, and make Hetao a base for raising horses , Raising countless war horses for Daqin.

Touching the saber at his waist, if it wasn't for Meng Tian's persuasion, he would have led the army to kill the tribes like the Huns.

"Your Majesty, don't be careless. Today's Xiongnu Chanyu is the son of Touman Chanyu. Unlike Touman Chanyu, this Modu Chanyu is definitely a vicious wolf." Meng Tian still attaches great importance to this Modu Chanyu.

"I know that it would be great if such a person was born in my Daqin." Ying Zheng said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, Daqin is full of talents, so why worry about it?" Li Xin said respectfully.

Since he came to Shangjun, he found that there are many excellent generals in the army, even he couldn't help admiring them.

That general Han Xin was unparalleled in wisdom and bravery, Chu Yan was brave, and that Feng Haicheng transferred from the south of Lingnan killed the Xiongnu one by one.

There are still many such talents, and when the war officially begins, this battlefield will be their world.

I'm old, I can't accept my old age, Li Xinxin sighed.

Fortunately, such generals are all from Daqin, if they are enemies, it will be troublesome.

However, since he practiced the physical training method, he can also feel his own improvement, and when His Majesty agrees, he can also lead the army to attack the Huns.

"What Li Qing said is true." Looking at the tall and straight soldiers on duty, Ying Zheng's mood improved. With such a strong Qin soldier, it would be so difficult to unify the whole world.

"Report." Just as the few people were talking, the scout came back on horseback.

"What did you find?" Meng Tian immediately walked over and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, General Meng. We found traces of the Huns. A small group of them is sneaking into the border of the Great Wall. The intention is unknown." The scout said respectfully, and quickly reported the information he found.

The Huns want to sneak into the Great Wall?What are they up to?Meng Tian frowned unconsciously.

"Continue to investigate, come and report immediately if you have any information." Meng Tian looked at the scout seriously and said.

"No." The scout led the way and left.

Meng Tian came over and reported the information to Ying Zheng.

"Order the guards on the Great Wall to strengthen their guard and increase the number of guards so as not to be attacked by the enemy." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

The situation on the Xiongnu's side is not very clear. Sui Shicong didn't get much news, and the Xiongnu's side was also under martial law. It was even more difficult for him to pass on the news.

Now it's just a wave of formal testing, and there have been a few small fights, and there has been no official confrontation between the two armies.

In the evening, a sharp sword was shot at the city gate, on which was hung a roll of sheepskin.

Meng Tian sent the sheepskin to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, it's a letter of war, and it's agreed that the two armies will face each other in three days."

"Three days later, from now on, the whole army will be under martial law to prevent sneak attacks." Ying Zheng glanced at the parchment with a serious expression on his face.

"promise."

"Your Majesty, I would like to be a forward." Li Xin stood up quickly. If he didn't show up, the opportunity would be taken away. He still needs to make contributions.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin quietly, with deep eyes, "Yes, Li Xin leads an army of [-] troops. For this reason, the main generals of the battle, Wang Yuan, Han Xin and Chu Yan are the assistants. This battle must be for my Great Qin."

"Your Majesty takes orders." Li Xin was ecstatic, His Majesty actually gave him this opportunity, and he is still the Commander. This time, he will not let His Majesty down again.

Wang Yuan and the others were also very excited, the opportunity to make meritorious service was just around the corner.

None of them had any fear. After the first tentative confrontation, they could feel that they were much stronger than the soldiers of the Huns.

Strength brings strong self-confidence, one by one sharpening their knives, just waiting to fight with the Huns, this is a good time to make military achievements.

Now that Daqin's military merit system has been partially modified, it still focuses on killing the enemy. As long as they dare to go to the battlefield, they will definitely be able to get military merit.

The veterans are very excited here, while the recruits are a little envious. They also want such an opportunity.

Daqin's momentum is overwhelming, morale is high, and there are millions of troops stationed on this border, it is not a simple matter to win the battle.

Zhao Qingrui also knew about it from her father's call.

"Little sister, are you happy?" Fusu came over with a stack of test papers, which were the best part of the exam after the exam.

"Yes, the review was completed so quickly, Li Xiang and Feng Xiang have worked hard." Looking at these test papers, Zhao Qingrui's conscience still hurts a little for Da Qin, these two conscientious veterans.

"Yeah, they're tired now, so I'll let them go back to rest first. I brought the test papers here. You can read them first." Fusu said gently.

"Okay." Zhao Qingrui looked at the stack of test papers, and there were several stacks of playbooks beside him, feeling a little weak.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi and the others have almost finished reviewing the playbook, so she only needs to read it.

"What is little sister happy about? But what good happened?" Fusu asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about my father. The first battle was a great victory. When the battle officially starts, it won't be long before my father conquers the Huns." Zhao Qingrui said cheerfully.

There are so many powerful generals on the border, and almost all the senior generals of Daqin have been transferred. If they can't beat the Xiongnu, they should all commit suicide.

Fusu was silent for two seconds, "Little sister, can't we not fight? Every war requires countless bloodshed."

"Brother is the eldest son of the father. He has been clothed in fine clothes since he was a child, and he has never suffered hardships. He thinks those Huns are pitiful. Do you know what kind of life the head of Guizhou on the border is like?" Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly. I don't know how that bastard Chunyuyue taught him, but Fusu's problem has not been corrected yet! !
