Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 295
Now that the decision was made, Zhao Qingrui announced Zhang Cang's punishment directly on the court during the court meeting on the second day.

Zhang Cang was cleaned up so quickly that many people were stunned, and they didn't expect him to fall down at all.

As the censor, Zhang Cang still had a high status in the court.

Moreover, he has real talents and learning, and His Majesty also values ​​him very much.

"Your Highness, Zhang Yushi is a minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. I wonder what he did? Let His Highness punish him like this?" An official with a good relationship with Zhang Cang stood up.

"Since you want to know, Lu Zhi, come and read what Zhang Cang did." Zhao Qingrui picked up a memorial book and handed it to Lu Zhi beside him.

"No, Zhuxia Shi Zhang Cang accepted bribes, colluded with profiteers, revealed the state secrets of the Great Qin, and sold them to the tribes of the Huns. This is really treason..."

After Lu Zhi finished reading, needles could be heard in the Qilin Palace, especially the person who wanted to help Zhang Cang get out of trouble, his face was pale at this time, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

Feng Jie, the official censor, yelled on the spot, "His Royal Highness, Zhang Cang brought chaos to the Qin Dynasty, and he should be sentenced to five punishments for the barbarians."

"That's right, Zhang Cang did such a thing in vain after reading so many revealing articles. I agree with what Feng Yushi said."

"My Daqin still lacks talents. Zhang Cang is in charge of the golden cabinet and stone chamber, and uses my Daqin's resources to enrich himself. It would be a waste to kill him. Therefore, Zhang Cang sent him to the study center and entrusted him with the most tiring tasks. Atonement." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

With Zhang Cang's virtue, it's no wonder that in the history books, he was beheaded for committing crimes. This is no small matter.

"Your Highness is wise." Li Si took the lead in shouting.

"Everyone is exempt from courtesy. Now Daqin's business regulations are considered lenient, but they don't let those businessmen do whatever they want. Where is the Pinghuai order?" Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"The minister is here." Jiang Lu stood up, he was busy during this time, but thinking of what happened just now, Jiang Lu broke into a cold sweat, if other businessmen did the same, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Re-book all merchants and record the products they sell. If they violate the laws of Qin, they will be severely punished." Zhao Qingrui said coldly.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, the minister will not disgrace the mission." Jiang Lu said seriously. He used to look down on merchants and thought they were lowly, but now he really takes those merchants to heart. Those people acting recklessly would be extremely detrimental to Daqin.

"Well, very good." Zhao Qingrui nodded.

Merchants are re-booking for better management.

Business-related laws also need to be gradually improved, so let's manage it like this for now, as long as there are no troubles.

"Your Highness, the envoys of the Peacock Dynasty will enter Xianyang in a few days, and the arrangements are ready." Cen Chuanhao said respectfully.

"By the way, I almost forgot about them. After they entered Daqin, did anything change?" Zhao Qingrui patted her forehead and asked hastily.

"Back to Your Highness, they bought some commodities, but under the attention of the accompanying black armor guards, they didn't dare to inquire about anything casually, and they didn't buy anything like food." Cen Chuanhao said seriously, since these people entered Daqin , He arranged for someone to meet him in the past.

In order to prevent these people from causing trouble, he also arranged for many people to monitor them at any time.

"That's good, since they're going to enter Xianyang, follow the rules." Zhao Qingrui felt relieved.

Except for envoys, although there are many things in the court, they are not big ones.

The biggest thing is the reconstruction of Xianyang.

Tens of 10 people demolished Xianyang City together, and the speed of demolition should not be too fast.

After the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui went to the harem.

It's time to check the harem again. Since the father left, there hasn't been any moths in the harem.

Knowing that Zhao Qingrui was coming, Mrs. Zheng had been waiting for her in the palace early.

"Your Highness, why come here in person, I will deliver it to you in person." Mrs. Zheng said in a gentle voice.

"Walk more to exercise, I happen to be fine at the moment." Zhao Qingrui looked at the account book in front of him, tied up his sleeves, and flipped through it.

This ancient clothes also has a bad point, that is, the sleeves are too big.

Good-looking is good-looking, but it is not very convenient when doing things.

And the court dress on her was made after her father's crown dress, it was Da Qin's favorite black color, and it looked solemn and dignified.

If she wants to wear some clothes she likes, she can only wear them in private.

Zhao Qingrui had some general understanding as he looked through Zhongfei.

"I'll take these things back and have someone calculate them, and deliver them to Mrs. Zheng in two days." Zhao Qingrui instructed the maids around her to put away these account books.

"It's okay, His Highness is busy with business, so you can take your time." Mrs. Zheng said gently.

"Well, thank you Mrs. Zheng for your concern." Zhao Qingrui smiled.

"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to come down to make up your mind." Mrs. Zheng said quickly when she saw that Zhao Qingrui was about to leave.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhao Qingrui raised an eyebrow.

"There are three sons in the clan who are of the right age. They have reached the age of marrying wives. Now that His Majesty is not in Xianyang, their age cannot be delayed any longer. That's why I want to ask you what you mean." Mrs. Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui .

Although she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, she is not a queen either.

"Which three are they?" Zhao Qingrui pondered.

On the clan side, she really didn't want to deal with them very much.

The winner has been passed down for countless years, and there are quite a few people in the clan.

And when he became the crown prince, these people were extremely opposed to it. If the father hadn't suppressed the voice of opposition with all his strength, those people would not know how to make a fuss.

"It's Young Master Zi Le, Young Master Yuan, Young Master Weixiang, they are." Mrs. Zheng told Zhao Qingrui which branch these people belonged to.

Zhao Qingrui supported her head with her left hand. She had seen these people before, but they were not familiar with them.

"Is their marriage still up to the emperor's decision?" Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's not necessary, but His Majesty bestows the marriage himself, and the person chosen by His Majesty will definitely be the same." Mrs. Zheng smiled wryly.

Who can His Majesty choose? All the people His Majesty knows are court officials and nobles.

Each of them has made a good plan, and if His Majesty speaks, their worth will also increase a little.

Zhao Qingrui instantly understood what Mrs. Zheng meant, didn't she just want her father to pick a noble girl with a higher status for them?

Daqin's current policy is going on one by one. Most of the clans have been raised and abolished. The clans are gradually declining, and their relationship with His Majesty is gradually becoming distant. They want to have a closer relationship with His Majesty.

Insufficient talent and failure to pass the official assessment, then there is only a third way to choose.

That is a marriage, and the people His Majesty knows must be the same.

"I will inform my father about this matter, Madam Zheng, please." Zhao Qingrui smiled.

"Your Highness is being polite." Mrs. Zheng waved her hand quickly.

Back in the East Palace, Zhao Qingrui waved away the waiters and got in touch with Dad.

"Father, what are you going to do with those people? Are you really planning to control them? These clans, to us, are more like silverfish lying on us and sucking blood." Zhao Qingrui didn't really want to control them.

Although they are relatives, some of them have passed through three generations, and the relationship is far away.

Moreover, those people enjoy the state's offerings, and each of them is raised fat, incapable, and unbearable.

In her opinion, raising food is a waste of food, and she doesn't want to be such a big injustice.

Even her brothers and sisters, she is not going to take care of them in the future.

"You want to kill the clan." Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. How could he not be familiar with his own daughter?

However, there are a lot of problems in the clan. He didn't have time to take care of them before, but now, he doesn't bother to take care of them. Isn't there a daughter?

"Yes, we raise them like pigs. You see, they are all raised and abandoned. This is not going to work. We have to let them know the sufferings of the world and know how to be self-reliant." Zhao Qingrui nodded with a smile .

If she wants to change or formulate some outrageous policies, she still has to ask her father to hold her back in many cases.

Her qualifications are too low, she can say nothing in court, except for her father's support, Feng Quji and Li Si are really for Daqin and want to make Daqin stronger.

And she is not familiar with those clans, she now regards Daqin as her territory, so naturally she doesn't allow these people to be lazy and just wait for the treasury to support them, what's the difference between this and raising pigs.

Raising pigs?The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. If the daughter made a comparison, those members of the clan would be pissed off if they knew about it.

"My dear daughter, I was able to sit on the throne back then, and they were also my supporters. Now that I'm done killing the donkey, wouldn't it be too good?" Ying Zheng said awkwardly, these people still have some credit.

"Father can still control their food and drink for the rest of their lives. You have also seen what kind of waste they have become. The hundreds of officials have been assessed several times. Every time they participate, there are quite a few people. However, there are some who pass the exam. ?” Zhao Qingrui said earnestly.

Ying Zheng was also silent for a while when he heard Zhao Qingrui's words.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ying Zheng sighed softly.

"It's a mistake. They did have merit, but you are justifiable in becoming the King of Qin. Your achievements will last forever. Can their achievements be compared with Li Xiang and the others?"

"Let's look at Li Xiang, he is still good at learning and improving himself even though he is old, and he knows how to enrich himself, while the clan is a bunch of waste, they were all raised and disabled by your preferential treatment." Zhao Qingrui said solemnly.

According to the current situation, the population of Winners will definitely increase dramatically, or there will be someone like King Jing of Zhongshan, and the entire old Winners will be prosperous, and maybe they will follow in the footsteps of the old Zhu family.

The problem of the clan is not small, it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

As it is now, she has already been taken care of by her father, and she absolutely disagrees with raising a pile of waste.

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. After thinking for a while, he felt that what his daughter said made sense.

"Then how do you want to deal with them?" Ying Zheng said with a smile. For such a trivial matter, my daughter will not kill those people. Their life will be more difficult at most. If they can know how to make progress, it is also a good thing.

"Reduce the food and clothing expenses of the clan, and let them rely on themselves." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"If they don't want to, what should you do?" Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, those people in the imperial clan are not easy-going lamps.

"I don't want to, those who dare to make trouble, send them to repair books. These people can be considered literate, and they can still do some chores." Zhao Qingrui said with a smirk, mainly because there is a shortage of people in the repair school.

Although these clans are a bit useless, they are still much stronger than ordinary Qianshou.

"Naughty, they won't want it at that time, I'll see how you can silence everyone." Ying Zheng felt a little headache when he saw his daughter playing tricks.

"Public opinion has never been in their hands." Zhao Qingrui is really not afraid of public opinion. She has developed a newspaper for several years, and Di Bao has completely grasped it.

"Could it be that father is worried that they will pull me down from the position of crown prince?" Zhao Qingrui pursed her lips, with disdain shining brightly on her face.

"Some people are still capable, so don't be careless." Ying Zheng said seriously, he is not in Xianyang, if she touches someone from the clan, he is really afraid that something will happen to Zhao Qingrui.

Nowadays, there are still a lot of remnants of the Six Kingdoms hidden in the dark, and he is also worried about the winner's clan having something to eat inside and out.

"Father, don't worry, I will be fine, but there are too many hidden dangers in the clan. If Mrs. Zheng hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have thought of it." Zhao Qingrui pouted.

"Those who want me to marry you, you tell them directly that I am not their parents, and their parents should decide the marriage themselves." Ying Zheng nodded.

"The clan's situation shouldn't be that serious, right? Why do you want to deal with them because of today's incident?" Ying Zheng chuckled lightly.

"It's not serious. Father, the clan has thousands of people. With so many people, Daqin's situation is getting better and better, and the number of people in the clan will increase."

"Now when there are few people, the clan is not a threat, but once there are more people, what if the treasury can't afford to support them someday?" Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"That day is too far away."

"It's not far away. You see, the former King Wen of Zhou had a hundred children. If there are a few such able-bodied children in these clans, then there are really endless children and grandchildren." Zhao Qingrui sighed with emotion. Said.

Especially during the Ming Dynasty, that was the most striking example. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family had hundreds of thousands of people.

This number is scary when you think about it.

Zhao Qingrui's words successfully silenced Yingzheng. He himself has more than 30 children. If it weren't for the contraceptive pills given by his daughter, he would definitely have many children.

If the winner has more people like him who can give birth, it is indeed like what the girl said, the children and grandchildren are endless.

"You're right. These problems need to be prevented in advance, so that they can't be solved in time." Ying Zheng stood behind his daughter in an instant, unswervingly supporting her in rectifying the clan.

"I knew my father would support me." Zhao Qingrui laughed happily.

The father and daughter chatted for a while before closing the call.

On the other side, Ying Zheng looked at the map in a daze, his mind had already drifted away.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Meng Tian asked cautiously, looking at His Majesty's face, it seemed that he was not sick.
