Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Zhao Qingrui rubbed the center of her brows. It is basically unrealistic for these places to be governed like the Central Plains.

Seeing the result calculated by Li Si, Zhao Qingrui felt even more headache.

The annual state treasury expenditure in these places is too large. No wonder many people in the DPRK have opinions, and even want to abandon the borders and these relatively poor areas.

Zhao Qingrui rubbed her chin, how to solve these problems?
There are a lot of cattle and sheep raised on the grassland, and all kinds of dairy products and jerky are selling well, which makes the factory over there have some income.

However, this is still too little. Zhao Qingrui feels that it will be fine for a few years if such a huge expenditure continues. If it continues like this, she will definitely not be happy.

It took a few days to read the account books, and at the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui glanced at the people below, who were able to come to court now.

"I finished reading this year's taxes a few days ago and found a lot of problems." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

Zhao Qingrui's words made many people feel tense.

Li Si was very calm, he naturally knew that there were some problems, the places with problems, and the people with problems, he also wrote them down in the memorandum for Zhao Qingrui to have a look.

"My Daqin treasury finally became healthy, and someone couldn't wait to reach out." Zhao Qingrui's voice seemed to be frozen.

There are some problems with the things received this time, and Li Si also checked them, and some of the data do not match.

After Zhao Qingrui's words fell, needles could be heard in the Qilin Hall. Some people were calm, and some people were already sweating, but they were still tense. As long as they don't find out, they are innocent.

Zhao Qingrui took the memorial book and looked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch understood, took the memorial book and read it aloud.

"It's Gucheng County, Hanzhong County. The recorded tax and grain are 17 seven shi, the draft is 320 shi, and the manuscript is 13 shi. When the problem was read out, many people knelt down in the middle of the court.

Zhao Qingrui glanced at these people, looking at them as if they were dead.

"My Daqin's current salary and various benefits don't make life difficult for everyone, right?" Zhao Qingrui said coldly.

Since she started to take power, the salaries of officials in the court have gradually increased. Now even if they are just officials who have entered the ranks, their monthly salary is more than [-] yuan a month. There is also food. In addition to wages, the court will return them. Allotted house.

Of course, this house was not given to them directly. This house will only be given to them if they have devoted themselves to Daqin for ten years.

In addition to the house, there are also various gifts during the holidays, and there are many rewards for doing well.

However, these people dared to reach out to the tax and food, thinking that the amount they took was not too much, and the court would not notice it, or that the court didn't take that amount to heart?

Of course, there are also courageous ones, and now there is no shortage of food. No, some people have begun to reach out to the business tax.

Zhao Qingrui treats officials very preferentially, just hoping that these people will not be greedy.

However, she thought too well of these people.

"Your Majesty has been wronged, please look into it." Some people still took chances, but of course, they might have been wronged.

"Oh? Are you wronged? Who else is wronged? I'm fine now, and I want to hear about your grievances." Zhao Qingrui looked around at the hundreds of people kneeling down, feeling very disappointed.

"Yun County, where I live, has been a bit dry this year, which has caused the production of the fields to decrease, and the collection of taxes and food is not enough." Fang Changlin, a young man, said with a straight neck.

"Censor Feng Jie, write him down, imprison him first, and investigate clearly. I don't want to wrong a good person, and I don't want to let a bad person go." Zhao Qingrui glanced at Feng Jie.

"The minister takes orders."

"I was wronged too. There is nothing wrong with the taxes and rations recorded by the minister. I collected the amount of taxes and rations according to the law and did not embezzle." A tall woman also stood up and said loudly.

"record."

A few stood up one after another, while the others knelt obediently, not daring to speak.

Zhao Qingrui waited again, but still no one came forward.

"The rest will be sent to Dali Temple to await trial. Once they are found out, they will all be sent to Zhenlao to reform their schools. They will not be pardoned for the rest of their lives." Zhao Qingrui said with a cold face.

Following her words, the guards entered the Qilin Hall and arrested all these people.

As for those who seemed wronged, the treatment was slightly better than these people.

After all these people have been dealt with, the people in the court have not recovered yet.

"Your Majesty, now that there are vacancies in the official position, it is inappropriate to arrest so many people at once." Feng Quji stood up and persuaded.

Feng Quji's face turned bitter. There was a shortage of officials in the court, and His Majesty managed to deal with so many people at once. Your Majesty doesn't want to make life easier for everyone in the court, right?

"Feng Qing, don't worry. If these people make small mistakes, I am willing to give them a chance to make up for their mistakes. However, during this time, I have to work hard, dear friends." Zhao Qingrui knew Feng Quji's meaning, and the court official She is also very clear about the lack of problems.

"I understand." Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui and sighed slightly. The officials in the court were still clear.

Moreover, the treatment given by the imperial court is very good, but these people are still greedy. It is because he, the minister of the Ministry of officials, has neglected his duties.

"Your Majesty, the old minister failed to manage these officials well. It is the old minister's dereliction of duty. Please punish him." Feng Quji knelt down and bowed.

He is already an extremely powerful minister, and what he wants now, besides making his family more prosperous, is to get a name after his death, and he also hopes that his name will go down in history.

The Ministry of Officials specializes in the appointment, removal and promotion of these officials, and many of them were allocated to those positions by him, but now these people have let him down.

"Feng Qing is indeed dereliction of duty, and he will be fined half a year's salary." Zhao Qingrui looked at Feng Quji, and gave him a symbolic punishment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Quji looked at His Majesty sitting above him, and was moved. His Majesty had veterans like them in his heart.

Following Zhao Qingrui's order after order, not only in the treasury, but also everywhere in the imperial court are conducting calculations and strict investigations.

Later, Zhao Qingrui gave another order to let them think about how to develop on the grassland.

After Zhao Qingrui's order came down, the Qilin Hall fell silent again.

Grassland and Puyu have also been conquered for two years, but they have been losing money to support them. This is a burden, and many people in the court are not very willing to take care of such places.

Grassland, in two years, those Huns, Fuyu people, and people from Jizi North Korea still have a weak sense of identity with Daqin, and Daqin still needs more efforts.

Zhao Qingrui wants to develop these places, in their view, this is simply embarrassing them.

Everyone had a bitter face, but fortunately, Zhao Qingrui didn't make things difficult for them.

"After the new year, you guys will write a memorial. You should think about it first, don't worry, and make a decision on this matter next year." Zhao Qingrui looked at the people in the court.

There are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year, so don't worry.

After the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui went to the book repairing place to have a look again, and was very satisfied to see that these people were calculating the new calendar.

Try to get it out years ago, she is more used to the modern calendar.

Now there are hundreds of people here. It is not difficult to do these tasks, but it is more calculated.

Fortunately, after her continuous promotion in the past few years, the calculation methods she created have gradually spread in Daqin, and these officials are particularly good at calculations, otherwise they would not be selected when selecting officials. .

After asking about the progress of these people, Zhao Qingrui knew it well.

They already have a general charter for this calendar, which should be able to be fully worked out years ago.

Seeing the satisfied look on Zhao Qingrui's face, many people felt a little excited. They did all of this because of their great contribution. Once they are done, they will definitely be famous in history.

Of course, with such a great contribution, when they are released, I don't know where His Majesty will put them. I really look forward to it.

Among these people, especially Zhang Cang, he has a unique talent in calculating these calendars, and the main part of this calendar is determined by him.

Zhao Qingrui's eyes also fell on Zhang Cang. After a few years, Zhang Cang changed a lot and lost a lot of weight.

After losing weight, people look more energetic.

Zhang Cang still has a lot of talent, and when he gets the constitution, he can let Zhang Cang go and use it.

Now, the crime Zhang Cang committed before must be atoned for.

Being stared at by His Majesty, Zhang Cang felt a little nervous. This Majesty is not so easy to deal with.

Although she doesn't punish severely, she is exceptionally good at torturing people.

For example, he is now calculating the calendar every day, and he is guarded by a bunch of guards. As long as he is lazy, sometimes he will not even be given food.

He was a little lazy at first, but after being hungry for a while, he became honest.

I can't finish the work every day, and I can't eat enough, and I gradually lose weight.

After losing weight, it is actually quite good. He himself feels more relaxed, and it is easier to do what he wants to do.

What is His Majesty staring at him for?Wouldn't it be to punish him?During this period of time, he was very serious about calculating the calendar, and he was not lazy.

To be honest, he is very interested in calculating the calendar, and he has basically never been lazy in this matter.

"Zhang Cang, you seem to have lost a lot of weight." Zhao Qingrui looked at the nervous Zhang Cang and smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty still remembers the appearance of the guilty minister, it is my honor." Zhang Cang said respectfully.

"I heard that you have a lot of experience in calculating the calendar." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Cang indifferently.

In the future, we will set up an astronomy academy and get Zhang Cang in. Anyway, now she has asked people to make the original version of the astronomical telescope. This is a talent. It is better to put such a talent in a suitable position.

"I have some experience, Your Majesty praised it." His Majesty didn't seem to want to punish him, and Zhang Cang gradually became more courageous.

"Well, I've made a note, you've done a good job, keep working hard." Zhao Qingrui encouraged her, then turned and left the study hall.

Seeing His Majesty leaving just like that, Zhang Cang was a little dumbfounded. His Majesty's sudden question made his heart flutter.

He thought he was going to end his prison life, but in the end, he was nothing, and he still had to work honestly.

It took the people of the Peacock Dynasty half a month to arrive in Xianyang. They traveled by water all the way, and the speed was very fast. They also deliberately slowed down the way to Xianyang.

Daqin's boat was too fast, and they also discovered something during this time. The style of Daqin's boat was different from theirs.

Moreover, this boat is still very stable, they brought a lot of things, but this boat has loaded all the things they brought.

It would be great if they also had such a boat. Apart from boats, Daqin has many other good things.

Especially those beautiful fabrics, which are both promising and cheap. If it weren't for the fact that they were going to visit the emperor of Daqin now, they couldn't wait to stop and buy a lot of them back.

As long as these fabrics are brought back safely, they can make a lot of money.

The various silks they brought back before sold very well in the Maurya Dynasty.

Other items from Daqin were also popular in the Maurya Dynasty.

Why are there so many good things in Daqin? The envoys are all envious.

Thinking of this, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it is the credit of His Majesty the First Emperor and His Majesty the Empress. They have worked hard to govern the country and have achieved the current prosperity of Daqin." A soldier raised his head proudly. Daqin is getting better and better, and their salaries are also rising. I will give them gifts, they really love Daqin like this.

"Have you changed the emperor? Isn't your emperor still very young?" The envoy was stunned for a moment. They had been to Daqin several times, and they had a deep impression on the first emperor.

"His Majesty the First Emperor has already abdicated. You should have met the current Majesty. Your Majesty was the Crown Prince before, and he was the heir apparent of the Great Qin Dynasty." Xiao Bing said enthusiastically.

Zhao Qingrui treated the army very well, and they also supported Zhao Qingrui very much, so they couldn't help but want to show off now.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, thank you little brother for reminding me." The envoy cupped his hands according to Daqin's etiquette.

"Good talk, good talk."

"I don't know if my little brother would like to tell us about the current Great Qin Emperor. We want to know more about it, so as not to violate the taboo of the Great Qin Emperor when we arrive in Xianyang." The envoy took an agate bead and put it in his hand, and asked road.

"There's nothing you can't say. Your Majesty was enthroned at the beginning of this year." These soldiers have already been greeted by the higher-ups. As long as they don't reveal military secrets and the various technologies that Daqin has, other things can be said casually.

Of course, you have to be on guard against these people.

Listening to Xiao Bing's narration, these people were very moved. It would be great if their monarchs also worked hard to rule like this.

The current Shari Shuka believes in Jainism, which made the Maurya Dynasty a mess.

Compared with the Great Qin Dynasty, the current Peacock Dynasty is simply very different.

Envy is the word, they are tired of saying it.
