Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 306 The Ship Is Finished

"Daji, are you a vixen? Boyi Kao went to the sky to become a fairy?"

After two days, Wang Jian had finished reading the Romance of the Gods, and now he looked suspicious of life.

The definitions and descriptions of immortals in the book are very careful, as if they were real.

He is not familiar with those gods, but he grew up listening to the stories of some characters in the book, especially the famous people of Yin Shang and Da Zhou.

The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. After reading this book, his father sneaked away to worship the gods.

If she hadn't stopped her, there would probably be many temples for gods in Daqin.

"Grandpa Wang, these are all fake, don't take them seriously." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly.

"However, the gods and their functions written in the book are clear, well-founded, and logically self-consistent." Wang Jian only felt that he was an atheist. After reading these books, he suddenly believed in the existence of gods.

"Is this book good? I'll read it later too?" Hearing Wang Jian's words, Gan Luo's eyes flashed with interest.

"It's not bad. It's about King Wu defeating Zhou, but it's deified." Wang Jian said seriously.

What Gan Luo was reading was Water Margin, one of the four famous novels. The book focuses on the occurrence and development of peasant uprisings. Through the different experiences of each hero being forced to go to Liangshan, it describes their awakening from individual to small-scale alliance. The whole process from resistance to development into a grand peasant uprising team.

The situation of "officials forcing people to rebel" in the book shaped the group image of peasant uprising leaders and deeply reflected the political situation and social contradictions in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

From this book, he also saw many problems in Daqin.

He hasn't finished reading this book yet, but it gave him a great feeling.

He was born aristocrat, smart since he was a child, learned things faster, and was dubbed a child prodigy.

Worshiped as Shangqing at a young age, reached the pinnacle of life.

Even after retiring, he never worried about life.

However, where he lives, he knows very well that life in Guizhou is very difficult.

It was only after Zhao Qingrui came to power that life in Qianshou gradually improved.

Without Zhao Qingrui, Gan Luo couldn't have imagined that after his Majesty went down, other princes would take over Daqin, and if there was a faint king or something, Daqin might also face such an uprising.

Gan Luo also felt a touch of fear in his heart about these books, Qianshou, don't squeeze them too much.

"Since it's about King Wu's defeat of Zhou, when I finish reading Water Margin, I'll watch Romance of the Gods." Gan Luo is also very interested in the newly compiled story of King Wu's defeat of Zhou.

"This book is very interesting, and you will know it when the time comes." Wang Jian said with emotion.

"According to the book, destiny is in Zhou."

The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. The books she took out must have poisoned Wang Jian a lot.

Forget it, don't care about it, whatever you like.

These books cannot be released for the time being, otherwise it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil. The life of Qianshou is a little better, and it needs to be improved.

She knows the power of these entertainments better than anyone else. If she releases all these books, she will definitely make a lot of money.

However, this would do great harm to Qianshou.

If everyone reads these stories, who will go to farm and work.

In the days that followed, the dark circles under the eyes of Wang Jian and Gan Luo became darker, like pandas.

Then, Wang Ben came up and looked at Zhao Qingrui aggrieved.

"Marquis Tongwu, why did you come to Zhangtai Palace? Did something happen to Shanglin Garden?" Zhao Qingrui asked seriously.

"Shanglinyuan is fine, but I have something to ask His Highness." Wang Ben shook his head.

"Well, if you have anything you want to ask Hou Tongwu, just ask." Zhao Qingrui raised an eyebrow.

"These days, my father forgets to eat and sleep to read books every day, and even stays up all night. I can't persuade him, so I ask Your Highness to help me persuade my father." Wang Ben said with a headache.

Although the old man is very old, he is also his father. It must be bad for his health if he stays up late like this.

It's a pity that it's useless for him to stop it, because his father doesn't listen to him at all.

"Ahem, I will persuade Grandpa Wang a bit about this matter." Zhao Qingrui felt guilty all of a sudden, it was her fault.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Ben heaved a sigh of relief, the old man should listen to Zhao Qingrui's words.

"I want to ask, what kind of books is my father reading? So fascinated?" Wang Ben asked curiously.

Ever since my father read books day and night, he stopped questioning the people in the family and didn't bother those little bastards anymore, as if the whole Wang family had quieted down.

"It's just some story books. If Marquis Tongwu is interested, there are a lot of them in the royal palace at Shanglinyuan. You can read them when you are bored in Shanglinyuan." The general gave me the illusion of being crooked.

"Then thank you, Your Highness." Wang Ben said happily, remembering that His Majesty seemed to like reading with a book before.

After Wang Ben left, Zhao Qingrui called Gan Luo and Wang Jian who were reading at Zhao Wen's side.

Looking at the dark circles under the two people's eyes, which became more bloodshot, Zhao Qingrui's guilt welled up in his heart.

"How long have you guys not slept? Even if you are healthy now, you can't make such a fuss?" Zhao Qingrui persuaded earnestly.

"It's only two or three days. When I led troops to fight, I didn't close my eyes for five days. Don't worry, Your Highness." Wang Jian felt that this was nothing at all.

"The main reason is that the book is so wonderful. I have never read such an interesting story. These stories are very meaningful, and I am addicted to them unconsciously." Gan Luo felt a little guilty.

"I have arranged two eunuchs for you to take care of your life. From now on, you must eat and sleep on time. You are not allowed to stay up late. If anyone stays up late, I will put away all these books and not let you read them." Zhao Qingrui calmed down. Said.

Fortunately, what I showed them were only those ancient works. If I showed them that pile of novels, they would have to stay up all night.
-
The shipbuilding business went smoothly. Families like the Wang family, the Meng family and the Feng family have been operating in Daqin for so many years, and their connections and roots are unmatched by other nobles.

Therefore, the timber needed for shipbuilding was quickly sent to Xianyang.

Moreover, these families also provided a large number of craftsmen, and the speed of shipbuilding was like pressing the fast-forward button.

In two months, more than a dozen large ships were manufactured.

He also saved a large amount of money for the national treasury. Now that the old man went to the royal conquest, he didn't care about the affairs of the court. He promised benefits and gave it away casually. Instead, he found a lot of things for her.

After the big ship was built, Zhao Qingrui was also called to watch and try it out.

It happened to be Xiu Mu, Zhao Qingrui took Wang Xian and Lu Zhi and ran to watch the excitement.

At this time, there are already many people waiting around the Weishui River, and the big boats docked on the shore are somewhat different from the existing boats.

The people around are pointing fingers at these big ships, and those who are knowledgeable even comment on these ships. In short, they are not optimistic about these ships.

As for Feng Quji and the others, they have already seen the speed of the flying shear ship, and they are very confident in this trial.

Such a speed is faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage. In the future, water conservancy transportation will definitely develop vigorously.

They have been planning secretly, and the transportation will definitely use big ships in the future. The few of them simply opened a large shipyard together.

When water conservancy transportation develops, their shipyards will be able to make a lot of money.

They have their own little calculations. Since Zhao Qingrui came to power, the strategy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has been cancelled. The status of businessmen has improved a lot, and there are no so many restrictions. They also let people in the family do business stand up.

Zhao Qingrui didn't bother with it anymore, and now she has a lot of property in her hands, which is enough for her to toss about.

Zhao Qingrui was wearing a gorgeous skirt, and it was rare for her to have a holiday, so she asked the maid beside her to dress her up carefully.

As soon as she came over, she instantly became the focus of everyone.

After Feng Quji and the others saluted, those Qianshou who came to see the fun also knelt down.

"No courtesy, I just came out to take a look." Zhao Qingrui raised his hand and asked these people to stand up.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Jiang Lu also ran over to watch the excitement, and when Zhao Qingrui came over, he came to Zhao Qingrui's side.

"Little sister is really getting more and more dignified." Jiang Lu teased.

"No way, it's far worse than my father. If my brother praises me for being beautiful, I will be happier." Zhao Qingrui laughed.

"Little sister is beautiful, isn't that something everyone knows." Jiang Lu said solemnly.

"Brother has also learned how to speak glibly."

"Little sister, the boat is ready, you can try it out." Yin Man said softly.

There are already many people standing on the boat, and there are wooden ladders on the side, which is convenient for those who board the boat.

"Your Highness, do you want to go up and try?" Su Ling looked at Zhao Qingrui.

"Go, go and try." Zhao Qingrui was eager to try.

As soon as Zhao Qingrui went up, the others naturally followed.

However, this big boat does not seem crowded, and it can carry more people.

"This boat is so big." Yin Man stood on the deck, looking out, the sparkling lake water, the big boat shook a little, but there was no tendency to overturn.

"It's really good. With these ships, going to sea will definitely be smoother." Feng Quji also had a smile on his face.

Even if there is no gain from going to sea, this boat is enough for them to earn back their money.

"What Feng Xiang said is that this big ship is fast. If I didn't have to assist His Highness in court, I would also like to go overseas to see it." Li Si's eyes were full of yearning.

"When the traffic will be smoother in the future, you can go wherever you want." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

Now it's summer, and the sun is a little bit hot, Lu Zhi held up an umbrella to block Zhao Qingrui from the scorching sun.

"I don't know if I can live to that day?" Li Si sighed.

"Li Xiang devoted himself to Daqin and put in countless efforts for Daqin. Everyone remembers your contribution. You will live a long life." Zhao Qingrui raised an eyebrow.

Yo, this guy ordered her.

However, she will not promote the physical training method for the time being, at least a few years later.

What is being practiced in the military today is only the primary version. Even if it is the primary version, it will definitely cause a huge sensation if it is taken out. Daqin has not completely settled down.

Under peace, there are still many hidden dangers, and these hidden dangers are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms hiding in various places with different intentions.

Old people like Li Si and Feng Quji, she naturally wouldn't treat them badly.

In the past few years, they have all been healthy, and she has contributed a lot.

Otherwise, in terms of their age, they are all old people in this era. Not everyone has a strong body like Wang Jian, and they can live to be 80 or [-] years old. Li Si and the others were not in good health before.

But now, their bodies are very healthy, they eat well, and they don't need physical training methods, and they can still live to be 80 or [-] years old.

After the physical training method is popularized, they will definitely live longer.

Zhao Qingrui's words made Li Si and Feng Quji's hearts skip a beat, and they took a deep look at Zhao Qingrui. They also knew about Wang Jian's affairs, so they were naturally envious.

Who doesn't long for longevity, they have worked hard to climb to their current status, for what reason, isn't it for glory and wealth, for a better life, and to live longer.

"Your Highness is absurd, these are the duties of the ministers." Li Si and Feng went to salute, and the smiles on their faces deepened.

"The two prime ministers are being polite. Hurry up and grab the railing. The boat is about to leave. Be careful not to fall." Zhao Qingrui said gently.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness."

The boat moved quickly. It was not fast at the beginning, but slowly, the speed increased, and it moved quickly in the Weishui.

There are many Qianshou watching the excitement around, and the speed of the boat is beyond everyone's expectation.

"Huh, so fast, even faster than a carriage."

"I don't know what it's like to be on a boat?"

There are many poor people in the family, and it is not cheap to take a boat, let alone buy a boat, which is unaffordable.

The wind blows head-on, bringing a faint fragrance, which is the fragrance of wild flowers on the shore.

Zhao Qingrui and Feng Quji chatted about the affairs of the court, while Su Ling on the other side was recording the situation on the ship with a small notebook.

At present, this big ship is already the best that can be made. He thinks that there is still room for improvement. He will record these situations first, and then think about it slowly when he goes back.

"Your Highness, there isn't much progress on Mr. Fusu's side, but how many capable subordinates should we send to him?" Feng Quji talked about Fusu.

Since Zhao Qingrui rejected his memorial, he must have figured it out, so he didn't stubbornly bring up this matter, but worked hard on his own.

However, the bitter cold in Liaodong County, the lack of cooperation from the gentry, and Fuyu's visits from time to time, the progress made in Fusu is impressive.

"Don't worry, when the food is collected, there will definitely be something for the eldest brother. He has been taught by his father for so many years, so he is not a waste." Zhao Qingrui raised his eyebrows, there is no problem with the ability to support Su, but his temper has been taught to be crooked That's all, Zhao Qingrui has confidence in him.
