Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 329 Gossip
"Your Majesty misses His Majesty, and is afraid that His Majesty will have a bad time here, so I asked my minister to send some things over here." Feng Qu hurriedly looked around the palace here.

There are many more things in the Xinggong Palace, and it looks as gorgeous as the East Palace.

"I'm not a child anymore, and my father is always worried." The corners of Zhao Qingrui's lips rose.

"Father, did you say anything else?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Feng Quji.

"Not much to say, His Majesty just let His Highness decide." Feng Quji said seriously, he felt very helpless for His Majesty to delegate power so much.

Zhao Qingrui has done a good job here, so he can't say much.

Time has also proved that there is nothing wrong with Zhao Qingrui's decisions, and even made Daqin even stronger.

"Okay then." Zhao Qingrui understood that she was going to let her mess around, as long as she didn't ask for money, other fathers and emperors would not care about it, and would not send someone to point fingers.

The fact that her father trusted her so much made her want to do this matter even more beautifully.

"Feng Xiang has worked hard here, I have already arranged for Feng Xiang to live, Feng Xiang can do whatever he wants here." Zhao Qingrui said enthusiastically.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." Feng Quji nodded, he was indeed a little tired, and he was getting older.

After sending Feng Quji away, Zhao Qingrui had time to look at the pile of things his father sent over.

Opening the box, looking at the contents, the corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. There were several boxes of jewels, and some tonics.

Now she is not short of money, father is really afraid that she does not have enough money.

With such a generous father, the corners of Zhao Qingrui's lips were raised, happy.

Go back and prepare a surprise for the emperor.

So much money, do you want to use it?Zhao Qingrui stroked her chin and began to think.

It's better to use the money to do something meaningful.

"Come here, go and call Liu Ji." Zhao Qingrui looked at the maid not far away and said.

Since the technology of papermaking and printing spread, there have been many more papermaking and printing workshops in various places.

With so much money, Zhao Qingrui plans to use part of it to print books and put them in the library.

The remaining part, put it aside, will be used as scholarships and work-study expenses in the future.

When Liu Ji came over, Zhao Qingrui handed over the money to him directly, and asked him to make arrangements according to his own plan.

Seeing so much money, Liu Ji's heart beat fast, he had never seen so much money in his life.

His Highness actually left it to him to arrange, His Highness, are you giving him a chance to show off?
Thinking of these, Liu Ji's heart became more and more fiery.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister will make proper arrangements." Liu Ji said seriously.

He is more eager to climb up than to be greedy for a little money.

"Well, remember to make a record, I will check it when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui nodded, she was indeed giving Liu Ji a chance.

Now that Daqin is strong enough, those boys of Liu Ji have been poached by the court, even if he wants to rebel, it is impossible.

Now is the time to employ people, so why not give him a chance.

Watching Liu Ji's leaving back, Zhao Qingrui continued her leisurely life.

Wang Yuan also came back from his tour, and brought a large number of people back to reform through labor.

Zhao Qingrui took a look and didn't care much.

Yuan Shenbai and Liu Ji managed the workers very well, there was no shortage of money and food, and all kinds of materials were constantly being transported from all over the place. It was enough for Zhao Qingrui to check the overall situation.

After Feng Quji came over, he began to check the accounts here.

The right minister came to check the accounts in person, and the officials naturally didn't stop him.

Officials in these places had more or less problems, and as the investigation deepened, Feng Quji also fully understood the situation here.

With Zhao Qingrui coming here, it seems that these counties have been injected with vitality. The economy here has been greatly developed, and the life in the head of Guizhou has also improved a lot.

With the increase of various accounts, there are also more corruptions.

Feng Quji did not directly decide, but brought this matter to Zhao Qingrui for her to handle.

After Zhao Qingrui finished reading what Feng Quji sent over, he also started to have a headache. Corruption has always been banned repeatedly, let alone be absolutely eradicated.

"These people are not greedy for ink. Except for these few, in addition to being punished according to the regulations, all of them were assigned to do coolies in the school construction. They worked in small positions in the morning and went to labor reform in the afternoon."

"As for these few, their homes were confiscated, and their waists were cut off and abandoned in order to imitate others." Zhao Qingrui said coldly, these few were greedy too much, so they were taken away to give some warning to the people here.

"At present, there is still a shortage of manpower in the court. These people have been killed, and there is no one to step up for the time being." Feng Quji hesitated.

There is really a shortage of people, otherwise he would not have said this.

"I will take up the positions of these people first and kill them. Such moths, let them go this time. Who knows if they will commit another crime in the future. These people have criminal records and are not available." Zhao Qingrui pondered. road.

Zhao Qingrui disapproved of Daqin's continuing to use officials who had made mistakes before. She would rather have the official position vacant than someone with a bad record.

"Your Highness, no, you have a noble status, how can you do these chores." Feng Quji objected without thinking.

"You don't need to persuade Feng Xiang, I've made up my mind." Zhao Qingrui chuckled lightly.

"Feng Xiangke knows why the eldest brother has not been favored by the emperor all the time, and even let me take the position of the prince?" Zhao Qingrui ate ice powder leisurely.

In this hot weather, a bowl of ice powder makes the whole person feel comfortable.

"I don't dare to speak indiscriminately." Feng Quji frowned, was this kind of nonsense?

"Because the eldest brother is naive, he only talks empty words and doesn't understand the actual situation of Daqin." Zhao Qingrui wiped the corner of her mouth.

"He followed Chun Yuyue and they opposed the system of enfeoffment. He opposed his father's murder of alchemists. He never considered it from his father's point of view."

"Father wants to train him to be his successor, but he doesn't understand the operation of Daqin. Although he is familiar with various Confucian classics, his vision is not as far-sighted as father's. He only knows how to refute father."

"He knew the outcome of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but he didn't see the harm in it."

"The alchemists who murdered, these people took advantage of the father, but also harmed the father, and even spoke ill of the father behind his back."

"Whether it is for the king or for the son, what he has done is unqualified."

"This is the son who was raised in the palace since he was a child, and he is also the best son. Does Prime Minister Feng understand?" Zhao Qingrui played with the seal.

Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui intently, and was convinced by her rhetoric.

Before His Majesty became the King of Qin, he went through hardships and knew what was going on in the Great Qin.

As for Mr. Fusu, although he also understands the situation of Daqin, he does not have the foresight of His Majesty, nor does he have enough experience to support him.

Feng Quji broke out in cold sweat. If Mr. Fusu really succeeds to the throne, there will definitely be various problems in Daqin. If Mr. Fusu is unable to solve them, the stability of Daqin will also have problems.

He has always known that Zhao Qingrui is intelligent, but he did not expect that she could clearly understand all the situation, and even pointed it out sharply, which Mr. Fusu could not do.

"The Confucian scholars want to have enough right to speak, and the eldest brother has become a tool in their hands."

"Brother is a gentleman, I am not, I can use whatever means I can, I will not only use Confucian scholars, as long as it is useful to me, I can use it, I grew up in Jingshui Pavilion, I am more knowledgeable than brother."

"I didn't expect that I have so many advantages." Zhao Qingrui said happily.

The corner of Feng Quji's mouth twitched, well, he admitted that Zhao Qingrui was right.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui.

"It's nothing interesting. In the future, if the descendants of the Zhao family surnamed Ying want to compete for the supremacy, they should start from the bottom to avoid waste." Zhao Qingrui's eyes were captivating.

Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui, his eyes turned pale for a moment, and he understood what Zhao Qingrui meant.

"Your Highness, such an important matter should be decided by His Majesty and the clan." Feng Quji said seriously.

"When I become emperor, I will decide." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

This is indeed her idea. Regardless of whether she will have children in the future, she does not want Daqin to be harmed by a waste.

In case she gave birth to an unlucky child similar to Hu Hai, and let him sit in that position, wouldn't that be irresponsible to Daqin?

Feng Quji regretted talking about these gossips with Zhao Qingrui. His Majesty is still in power now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already blatantly coveting the throne.

Tired, forget it, don't care, anyway, His Majesty doesn't care.

His Majesty is already arranging to crown His Highness, and now he often calls Wang Ben and Wang Jian over to discuss matters of attacking other places. His Majesty's heart is no longer above the court.

His Majesty even called them to the palace to tell them about his early abdication, and gave them a vaccination in advance.

Neither of the father and daughter is easy to use. Basically, the things they decide cannot be changed, so he should not say more.

"Since His Highness is going to do it, I don't need to stop him, His Highness just pay attention to his own safety." Feng Quji said seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm bringing guards." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

It's not that Feng Quji can't accept changes, he just prefers to seek stability, which Zhao Qingrui is still very satisfied with.

Since he wanted to take over those chores, Zhao Qingrui sent people to send the official duties of those places to the palace the next day.

She is the heir apparent of Daqin, if she goes to the government to sit in charge, then a bunch of people will come to bother her, so it's better to work in the palace.

For those who committed serious crimes, Zhao Qingrui directly sent Wang Yuan to ransack their homes, and with the stolen money, Zhao Qingrui directly put the money into scholarships and work-study expenses.

She also specially wrote a memorial to this matter and sent it back to Xianyang. It is still necessary for the emperor to understand the details.

Feng Quji stayed here for a few more days, and Zhao Qingrui was able to handle the work of several county lieutenants with ease. After he saw it, he felt more at ease with Zhao Qingrui.

"Your Highness, I'm going to visit several other places, and I won't stay in Shangjun anymore." Feng Quji said seriously.

"That's fine, how about I send someone to escort Feng Xiang?" Zhao Qingrui expressed his understanding. During this time, Feng Quji had checked everything that could be checked here, and there was no need to stay here.

"No need, I'm going to make an unannounced visit first, and I have guards by my side." Feng Quji rejected Zhao Qingrui's kindness, and it's not good to bring too many people.

"Okay, Feng Xiang, don't be too tired." Zhao Qingrui no longer tried to dissuade him. Those who can follow Feng Quji to protect his safety must be as strong as possible.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." The serious face softened a lot. Although His Highness was sometimes out of tune, when she really needed her, she would never be vague.

After sending Feng Quji away, there was no one to talk about, and Zhao Qingrui's life became more comfortable.

Looking at the letter sent by the father to Feng Quji, the coronation ceremony is scheduled for the beginning of the next year. According to the father's intention, there will be a big one at that time.

I don't need to go back to Xianyang for the time being, I just go out for a walk after finishing my daily work, not to mention how leisurely I am.
-
As the border situation was sorted out, except for the generals who stayed behind, other soldiers began to return to the dynasty.

This time it was Li Xin and Li You who stayed here to guard the border, and the others were all transferred back to Xianyang.

As for Feng Haicheng, after drifting at sea for more than half a month, he finally returned to the shore.

Xu Fu was chained hands and feet and loaded into the prison cart. Looking at the familiar Daqin region around him, Xu Fu's eyes were dull.

The changes in Daqin are so great.

What happened to him all these years?
However, now he is already a dying person, and his heart is sad.

The news of Xu Fu's arrest was rushed back to Xianyang as soon as Feng Haicheng set foot on land.

Seeing the news of the expedited delivery from Babaili, Ying Zheng felt unprecedented joy in his heart, and finally caught this bastard.

How dare you lie to him and let him run away for so long.

Ever since he learned the news that Xu Fu had been escorted back, Ying Zheng was in a very good mood, and he even forgave those who raised the bar in the court these days.

The convoy finally arrived in Xianyang. Looking at the more prosperous Xianyang and the news he heard along the way, Xu Fu was horrified.

Daqin's world has completely changed, and he is even more desperate for his future.

"The traitor Xu Fu enters the palace." Zhao Gao's sharp voice sounded.

Soon, Xu Fu was escorted in.

At this time Xu Fu was extremely embarrassed, he knew that he would not survive, and his whole body was lifeless.

Kneeling with his head down, "Criminal Xu Fu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu, you deceived me so hard." Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu, turning a blind eye to his miserable appearance, but holding the Tai'a sword tightly, showing the unrest in his heart.

There seemed to be something wrong with the voice above his head, Xu Fu raised his head to look at the person above him, and was immediately stunned in shock.

This is His Majesty?Shouldn't he be dying?When he left, His Majesty's health was already very bad, and there were a lot of white hairs on his head.

How can you be so young?Has His Majesty found a real fairy?
