Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 339
"No." Ying Zheng directly refused. He moved here and tried not to disturb Zhao Qingrui, just to minimize his influence.

But this girl always wants to be lazy.

Zhao Qingrui was a little depressed because he didn't get any useful help from his father.

"Forget it, anyway, we are going to clean up those pirates. You two will be generals when the time comes. You can write a complete plan and what will be used. Whoever writes the plan well enough to implement it will be the chief general." Zhao said. Qing Rui looked at Wang Li and Zhang Han.

"The minister takes orders." The two said respectfully.

"Sit down, you don't need to be so polite. This time I call you here to discuss about those pirates. Also, I want to know about the situation in Lingnan." Zhao Qingrui glanced at the two of them, and then landed on Zhang Han's body.

"I wonder what your Majesty wants to know about Lingnan?" Zhang Han asked. He would report every month when he was there, so His Majesty should know everything about Lingnan.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

"You brought people to station in Lingnan, and let people open up wasteland by the way. Have you found any fruits in Lingnan?" She remembered that Lingnan was rich in lychees, but she didn't know if there were any now.

The land in Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still many aborigines who have not returned. Zhao Qingrui wants to develop this place.

In the past few years, the coastal areas have developed rapidly, and Lingnan is located in a special place, and ordinary businessmen seldom go there.

Of course, there are many reasons why Lingnan has not yet developed. There are more miasma over there, and naturally fewer people run towards that side.

The natural conditions of the south, which are humid, hot and full of insect poisons, have formed a hotbed for brewing diseases and plagues. It is not so easy to change.

Zhang Han has also been in Lingnan for several years, so he must know about it.

"Fruits, there are many wild fruits, but most of them are sour and taste bad. If His Majesty is interested, I will send some back to Xianyang." Zhang Han said seriously.

"Someone send some back, I want saplings." Zhao Qingrui said directly, although he was disappointed by Zhang Han's words, he could understand that this time was ancient times, not modern fruits that had been optimized countless times.

"No." Zhang Han said respectfully.

The population of Lingnan is small, so it is not a small problem to develop there.

Now that Li Yu has returned, he can make a canal digging plan.

It was only during the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty that large-scale recruitment of people was used to build the Grand Canal, so that the Lingnan side could be completely cleared. With more people walking, the miasma became less.

There should be a solution in the barefoot doctor's handbook. The geographical environment on the Lingnan side is superior, and now the court is gradually stabilizing, so we can start planning.

But now there is no money, and most of the money in the court is invested in education. At least for two or three years, she has no chance to develop Lingnan.

Zhao Qingrui asked a lot about the situation in Lingnan. She knows the indigenous forces in Lingnan very well, but what she doesn't understand is the customs there.

Following Zhang Han's narration, Zhao Qingrui also understood the situation there.

Wang Li also served as the chief general of Lingnan border guards, and he would add something from time to time, so Zhao Qingrui understood it more intuitively.

The vegetation in Lingnan is prosperous, and most of the lacquerware used by the royal family are produced in these places.

For Zhao Qingrui, these lacquerwares are not as durable as glass and ceramics, and she herself rarely uses them. Even if they were rewarded by her father, those lacquerwares were put away by her and put in the warehouse to fall into ashes.

In addition to lacquerware, there are also rich silk, pottery and bronze ware.

The value of Lingnan is extremely high, and it has been kept for so long, and she has long been eager for this place to create more value.

Ying Zheng listened with great interest, and Zhao Qingrui even inquired about the stories handed down from those places in Lingnan.

"You asked so clearly, what do you want?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui suspiciously.

"Of course, this place has been developed. The climate there is hotter than that in the inland area, and it is more suitable for growing rice. The climate there should be able to ensure two or three crops of rice a year." Zhao Qing Rui said seriously.

"Can you really make two crops and three crops a year?" Ying Zheng suddenly sat up straight.

Even Wang Li and Zhang Han who were below were shocked, because in their eyes, the environment in south of the Five Ridges is harsh, with not only miasma, but also all kinds of poisonous insects, and there are many ferocious beasts, and the local aborigines are even more difficult to deal with. .

Such a place, if it wasn't the border of Daqin, they would never take care of it.

Now that Zhao Qingrui told them that this place has such an important value, their first reaction was not to believe it.

Not only Zhang Han and Wang Li, but even Ying Zheng didn't believe it.

Compared with sweet potatoes and potatoes, corn tastes better. All the palace eats is corn. If Lingnan can really do two crops and three crops a year, it will be too important to Daqin.

"That's natural, but Lingnan still needs to be developed."

"There should be a place called Xianglin County in Lingnan, right?" When it comes to rice, Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of Champa rice. Champa rice is early-planting, early-maturing, drought-tolerant, and fine-grained, which is suitable for high-rise fields. It has a certain effect in preventing drought damage in the southeast.

The yield of the grain seeds she took out has also decreased a lot after several years of planting.

There are a lot of Champa rice, you can get it back and let the farmers do more research.

"There is such a place, but what's the problem here?" Zhang Han thought for a while, and the situation of that place appeared in his mind. He remembered that this place was very poor, and there was nothing good about it.

How did His Majesty remember such a place? Is there any special place there?
"Have someone find me some rice seeds over there." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

Hybrid seeds cannot be planted continuously, even if they are given by the system.

It must be resolved as soon as possible. When the output is lower in the future, it will be a devastating blow to Daqin.

Fortunately, those people in the farm are still reliable. Over the years, they have developed some experience in hybridization and grafting techniques.

"But what's so special about these rice seeds?" Zhang Han hesitated, wondering if His Majesty wanted to get back a copy of everything from Lingnan.

"I don't know either. I'll know when the farmer researches it." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

At that time, there was no Champa Kingdom, and Champa rice was only introduced to the Central Plains in the Song Dynasty, which is more than 1000 years away from now.

Not knowing what Champa Rice looks like at this time, Zhao Qingrui is a little worried.

It's no use worrying, she can't change that much.

Zhang Han and the others were left behind to have lunch at the villa before Zhao Qingrui was called back to Zhangtai Palace.

After Zhao Qingrui left, Ying Zheng was still thinking about Lingnan.

According to my daughter, Lingnan is a treasure land, but it needs to be developed there.

Forget it, this matter caused his daughter a headache, and he still didn't want to think about it. He also wanted to attack the Maurya Dynasty.

My daughter is restless, she brought it up this time, and she will definitely reach out to Lingnan in a few years.

Back in Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but run away with the memorial book in hand, Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, do you want to send some of the people who have registered permanent residence there?

"Come here, call the six ministers and Tong Wuhou Wang Ben to discuss the matter." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

Calling these people to the palace is to discuss the development of Lingnan.

Now that Li Si and the others are a little free, they can assign some more tasks to them.

When Li Si and the others came to Zhangtai Palace and heard Zhao Qingrui's words, they felt bad all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, why worry? Most of the money in the national treasury is used to support education, and some money and food have to be saved for military pay. If you want to develop Lingnan, you can't do it now." Feng Quji stood up directly.

"I know, I just want you to make a good plan, so that you know what to do, first make a good plan, and develop it all at once. I also know that it is unrealistic, so you can take your time." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

At present, there are more than 100 million prisoners and prisoners of war in Daqin who are still under guard.

These people are currently engaged in infrastructure construction in Daqin, and some of them are sent to mine.

There are more than 60 people still in the Central Plains, and these people are building schools in some places on the grasslands.

The grassland has been included in the territory of Daqin, and these people are also the people of Daqin, and universal education should be treated equally.

Of course, the most important thing is to correct their thinking, let them think that they are the head of the Qin Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, and love this country sincerely.

It's just that the grassland is too big, and it will take a lot of time to build all the schools here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui felt heartbroken again. She has been in business for so many years, and there are still so many troubles to be solved.

If it weren't for the consideration of people's strength, she would have wanted to imitate her father and make a drastic move.

Seeing Zhao Qingrui's serious look, Feng Quji backed away, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, so forget it, take it slowly, as long as it doesn't recruit civilian husbands wantonly.

Several people discussed together how to develop Lingnan, especially after Zhao Qingrui talked about the geographical advantages there, they became more concerned.

But there is still some hesitation in my heart, is it really as good as His Majesty said.

After sending them off, Zhao Qingrui continued to review the memorial, and by the time the review was over, it was already dark.

Asking the maid to pinch her shoulders, Zhao Qingrui fell down tired.

Now there are seven cabinet members, but it is still not enough.

"Lu Zhi, you have been in the cabinet for nearly three years, what are your plans?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Lu Zhi, she had high hopes for Lu Zhi.

"Return to Your Majesty, I want to go out to serve, and I will let it go out during the rotation next year." Lu Zhi said respectfully.

"Well, it's good to learn more about the situation at the grassroots level." Zhao Qingrui agrees with this point.

All the available people around her were released.

Xiao He and Cao Shen have now been promoted and returned to Xianyang, but their positions are not high.

Zhang Liang is still in the field, and now he has made a lot of achievements, and has been promoted to the county guard.

"Is there somewhere you want to go?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Lu Zhi.

"Let's go to Yushan County, officials are needed there." Lu Zhi said earnestly, Yushan County was renamed from Jizi North Korea, and now it has been incorporated into the territory of Daqin.

"It's not easy to govern Yushan County." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.

"Although it is a bit difficult, it is easier to achieve some results than in the mainland."

"It's best if you think so." Zhao Qingrui smiled deeper, that's all it should be, she hoped that these people could climb to high positions sooner.

Looking at the back of Lu Zhi's leaving, Zhao Qingrui's mood also rose a little bit.

Although Daqin still lacks a lot of things and needs a lot of hard work to meet her requirements, she still feels that Daqin is very good now and is developing in a good direction.

After tossing Wang Li and Feng Quji for more than a month, Zhao Qingrui finally got two satisfactory plans.

From then on, Zhang Han was the chief general, and Wang Li was the deputy general, leading the army towards Kuaiji County.

As for the Lingnan development plan submitted by Feng Quji and the others, each item was carefully planned, and even the places that needed to be done every year were marked out.

On an equal basis, there is not much to do every year, and it may take more than ten years to complete the entire plan.

Of course, if the group of prisoners had completed the infrastructure construction in various places earlier, they should all be sent to Lingnan to speed up the infrastructure construction there.

This plan was carefully kept by Zhao Qingrui, and this year's plan was also promulgated by her.

The road to Lingnan needs to be carefully rested and widened to facilitate the transportation of various materials.

It's just road construction. As the edict continues, many Qianshou have signed up to participate in road construction.

With the continuous delivery of materials, the work of road construction has also been carried out in full swing.

This year's maids sent out a lot, and it was time to pick some maids to enter the palace. Zhao Qingrui personally selected a few people who would take care of her.

Those who could be sent to the palace had their background checked long ago, and only those with a clean net worth would be sent to Zhao Qingrui.

Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on a young girl who looked unparalleled.

"What's your name?" Zhao Qingrui asked, she is a strict control, Lu Zhi is cold, Wang Xian is gentle and generous, but this girl in front of her is delicate and soft, just like a canary in a cage.

"Return to Your Majesty, daughter of the people, Wu Zhong, Wu Yu." Wu Yu said respectfully, using the place as his surname, which was issued a few years ago.

Zhao Qingrui was taken aback, this place is very familiar, Wu Zhong, "Your name is Yu Ji?"

"Yu is the name of a civilian girl." Wu Yu said cautiously, not understanding what His Majesty wanted to do.

"Okay, good name, why do you think of going to the palace to be a palace maid?" Zhao Qingrui laughed, as expected of a beauty who could be admired by Xiang Yu, she is so beautiful.

Now that Xiang Yu has been killed by her long ago, she has no chance to be Xiang Yu's concubine.

I forgot about such a famous person.

"The folk girl is proficient in melody, and her family is poor, so she can't let the girl learn more, so she came to the palace and wanted to enter the Yuefu." Although His Majesty looked gentle, she was still very scared, and her voice trembled a little.
