Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

"Okay, you should try it first, the taste should be good." Zhao Qingrui smiled lightly, Li Si and Feng Quji are also old people in the court, so she can't cheat them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two thanked quickly.

There was no anxiety in their hearts. They trusted His Majesty, and he also believed that this thing was edible.

Many miraculous things have happened to His Majesty, and His Majesty knows about this ostrich egg, so there is nothing unacceptable.

These black people were taken down and locked up, temporarily taken over by Honglu Temple.

These ostrich eggs, Zhao Qingrui sent someone to take them directly to the imperial dining room, and made them into patterns according to her requirements.

The time for lunch seems to come very slowly, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the court, but fortunately, the general direction has already been set, and the things that have been submitted to the book are not very important.

Many people are still very curious about the ostrich eggs that His Majesty affirmed.

Not all the people above the court are from noble backgrounds, and there are also some who have lived a hard life since they were young. As long as it is something that can be eaten, they all attach great importance to it.

At noon, Zhao Qingrui asked people to take over the government affairs, so as not to let these bad things affect his mood for eating.

There are more than 20 ostrich eggs in a basket, and the eggs are big enough for everyone to share.

It's just a simple steamed egg with some seasonings on it. After serving it, it smells pretty good.

"Your Majesty, I will try it first." Feng Quji stood up and said seriously.

"Feng Qing please." Zhao Qingrui stretched out her hand and smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Feng Quji thanked him, he took small bites from the porcelain bowl and ate it. The taste was unexpectedly good. I don't know where those black people came from. When he found out later, he also sent someone Check out these places and get some of these back.

Li Si also tasted it, and there was no strange taste. It was a bit fishier than ordinary eggs. After adding seasoning, the fishy smell was much masked.

With such a big egg, I don't know if we can catch some birds that can lay such eggs, so that they can be raised in Daqin, so that in the future, there will be more food on the dining table of Guishou in Daqin.

"You two lovers, how does this bird's egg taste?" Zhao Qingrui asked with a smile in his eyes, and scanned the officials below. Many people saw that Li Si and Feng Quji had both eaten, and there is no problem now , looking a little ashamed.

"Your Majesty, the eggs are tender and taste good." Feng Quji said seriously.

"It's really good. Of course, what's even better is that the chef's craftsmanship is very good." Li Si smiled.

He took a look at it before, and the raw ostrich eggs tasted too fishy. He didn't expect to make them, and they tasted good.

The banquet started, and the officials gradually let go. Anyway, if you can eat, then eat it.

Zhao Qingrui also took a bite, the taste was just the same, not as good as eggs, she didn't like the taste very much.

Fortunately, there are many delicious foods besides ostrich eggs.

The meals made by the Imperial Dining Room are much more delicious than those outside, and the officials have no problem with staying and working overtime.

After a meal, many people's minds were overwhelmed. The outside world is very big and there are many good things. This is the common understanding of everyone.

Some people with some money at home are thinking about sending people out to sea to have a look, maybe they can bring back something good.

Moreover, even if you can't find any good ones, you can still make a lot of money by bringing some of Daqin's existing goods out.

After lunch, Zhao Qingrui went back to Xianyang Palace to rest.

Xiaobai has grown up a lot over the past year, the two tigers are very tall, and now even the maids and eunuchs who take care of them dare not approach them easily.

Zhao Qingrui stroked Xiaobai who was a little impetuous, it seemed that he really wanted to go out and play.

They were ferocious beasts in the first place, and she kept them confined in this palace, simply killing their nature.

Or, when you are free, take them out to play?

Just, where are you going to play?With their size, the small hills are simply not enough for them to have fun.

Zhao Qingrui's eyes fell on the map, how about sending these two big cats to Lingnan or Sichuan?There are many mountains in these places, they will definitely like it.

While Zhao Qingrui was looking at the map, a gigantic creature flew in from outside the hall flapping its big wings.

Fortunately, Xianyang Palace is big enough, otherwise Xiaobai would definitely not be able to fly in this palace.

"It's hot, go away." Disgusted, he cut Xiao Bai away. If it was winter, she would be more than happy to play with it.

"Aww." Xiaobai nudged Zhao Qingrui aggrievedly.

The owner is always busy and has no time to play with them, so wronged.

"Don't make trouble, I want you to play in the wild." Zhao Qingrui's voice softened a little as she watched it look aggrieved.

Xiaobai tilted his head and went to play, okay, he wanted to go a long time ago, the palace in Xianyang has already been played by them all the time, and they have had enough of it.

"How about I let someone take you to play in Lingnan?" Zhao Qingrui stroked its soft fur and said gently.

It didn't know where Lingnan was, but it would be a good thing if it could be played, so it just nodded and agreed without thinking about it.

Smiling and rubbing its head, although Xiaobai is not yet an adult, Zhao Qingrui has been generous with what he has been given to him in the past few years, and he has not suffered any malnutrition.

It’s okay to go out to play, don’t worry about its growth not keeping up.

Xiaobai is very powerful, and has a contract with her, so he is not afraid of accidents.

Just, who will send them there?This matter has to be carefully considered.

The next day after the court meeting, when Zhao Qingrui hadn't decided where to send Xiaobai and the others to play, Ziying came into the palace on business.

"You don't have class today? Why did you come here?" Seeing Ziying, Zhao Qingrui smiled lightly. This kid has grown so fast in the past two years that he is already as tall as her.

"Little aunt, I want to go on a study tour, so come and talk to little aunt." Ziying scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Study tour? Are you going alone?" Zhao Qingrui was surprised, but Zhao Qingrui was very happy with Ziying's decision. Going out more and gaining insights is better than staying in Xianyang to study all the time.

"Together with Wang Wei and the others, there are seven people." Ziying told the people who were going to study with him.

"That's it, this is a good thing, go and learn more." Zhao Qingrui smiled. Suddenly, Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up. Since Ziying is going to travel far away, let him take Xiaobai and the others out. up.

Taking Xiaobai and the others out will not only allow Xiaobai and the others to have fun, but also protect their safety.

"Thank you, aunt." The aunt agreed, and Ziying was very happy.

"By the way, I have something to ask you." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ziying gently.

"Auntie, please tell me, Ziying can decide whether to refuse or not." Ziying said immediately, it would be the best if he could help his aunt.

"Little Bai, they can't play in the palace. I want you to take them out. They will follow you from afar, and try not to appear in front of Qianshou." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Yes, I'm willing to take care of Xiaobai and them." Ziying immediately agreed, Xiaobai and them are very powerful, and he has long wanted to touch Xiaobai and them.

"Then I will trouble you, don't worry, Xiaobai and the others are very good." Zhao Qingrui said happily.

"Auntie, can I smooth Xiaobai's fur?" He didn't dare to ride a tiger or something, and Xiaobai still belonged to his aunt, so he couldn't go over it.

It is still worth looking forward to giving Xiaobai Shunmao. He looked at Zhao Qingrui eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.

"Yes, Xiaobai, they are often dirty outside, and I need you to help clean them up then." Zhao Qingrui smiled lightly.

"No problem, leave it on me, aunt, don't worry." The aunt agreed, and Ziying immediately patted her chest to assure her.

Before Ziying left, Zhao Qingrui packed the combs and body wash used by Xiaobai and handed them to Ziying, and personally sent Ziying and the others out of Xianyang.

The people who went out to study with Ziying this time, besides Wang Wei, are Zhao Qingrui's two nephews and nieces, one is Feng Quji's grandson, one is Li Xin's daughter, and the other is Zhang Liang's family. No doubt.

They went out this time without escorts, but they have learned a lot of self-defense skills in addition to studying literature over the years, and their parents have also prepared a lot of self-defense equipment for them.

The two big cats disappeared after leaving the city, and Ziying wasn't worried, he knew that Xiaobai was very human, and he believed what his aunt said.

Standing in the tower, Fusu looked away after Ziying and the others disappeared.

"Little sister, you said it's okay for them to go out like this?" The son hadn't gone far, and Fusu was already worried.

He didn't understand, why the father likes to run around, and now the son also follows around, so it's not good to be quiet.

Now the father doesn't know where he has gone, and he doesn't know where his son is going, so don't worry about it.

"Brother, the outside world is very big. You, there is no need to worry. Ziying and the others are very smart, and their strength is not weak. While they are young, they should go out for a walk. If I am not the emperor of this Great Qin, I will also want to go everywhere." Go and have a look." Zhao Qingrui patted Fusu's arm, envy flashed in his eyes.

The emperor does have the supreme power, but in this position, her own private time is constantly being compressed, and she needs to be responsible for the entire Great Qin.

Fusu is indeed calm, but this is what he was taught by Confucian scholars since he was a child. He is also working hard to be the future successor of Daqin. Such a temperament is indeed very good, but after all, his knowledge is only in books.

This is also the reason why Fu Suyin's position as the prince was quickly defeated after she came back, and her father chose her.

Compared with Fusu, I know more, and I also know the situation of Daqin, so I will not be imprisoned by Confucianism.

"I know what you said is right, but I'm still a little worried." Fusu's loving father's heart has nowhere to rest.

"Brother Ziying is not the only child. If you keep thinking about Ziying, you might as well spend more time on other children." Zhao Qingrui smiled helplessly.

Turning around and returning to Zhangtai Palace, there are still many government affairs waiting for her in the palace.

Leaving Xianyang City, a group of half-grown teenagers are like birds out of cages, and everything they look at feels fresh.

"Ziying, what are we having for lunch? Shall we go to a restaurant?" Yue looked at Ziying expectantly and asked, Yue is the daughter of Gongzi Gao, who is only 13 years old this year.

"Go to the restaurant to eat, save the dry food first." Ziying decided directly, this time they came out, but brought a lot of money.

"I want to eat grilled fish." Li Yuan raised his hand immediately.

"I want to eat stewed vegetables."

"Do you want to drink?" Zhang Buyi came over. They were young before, and their parents didn't allow them to touch them.

"No, we can't drink. What if we get drunk and our things are stolen? My aunt said, drinking is a mistake." Ziying directly rejected the request.

Although they brought a lot of money, there was no shortage of food and drink, but the money would always be spent, so careful planning was required.

Now that I just came out, it's okay to be extravagant, just drink, let's forget it.

"That's right, we can't drink alcohol. My elder father also said that there are many dangers outside, so we have to be careful." Wang Wei said solemnly.

"Okay then." Zhang Buji said regretfully, he just wanted to taste the wine.

"I don't know where Elder Father and the others went to play. If I had known that I should have been with Elder Father, it must have been very interesting." Several people walked towards the restaurant, and Ziying thought of when the first emperor and the others left. time things.

"Eldest father won't take you, elder father doesn't like children." Yue pouted, elder father took some guards and left, not caring about them.

But the eldest father is also very scary when he has a tiger's face. These brothers and sisters dare not approach the elder father.

"Ask for a beating." Ziying tapped Yue's head speechlessly. He would be happier if the girl shut up.

"Father and the others have a big boat. If it weren't for the fact that none of us have any experience, I would like to go out to sea." Ziying said regretfully.

"Then next time, let's save more money and buy a big boat, and we'll go to sea." Zhang Buzhi was eager to try, overseas, they also knew something from the newspaper.

Overseas is very big, there are many good things, and there are other human beings.

Now they are still too young, even if they want to go to sea, adults will not agree.

"How to make money?" Li Yuan looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which really stumped them.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, it's time to go eat now." Ziying waved his hands, not wanting to think about these embarrassing things.

The matter of Ziying and the others going on a study tour was discussed by the people of several families. They knew that there was no danger, and they all had the ability to protect themselves, so they were allowed to go out.

But after they were gone in the school, it seemed that the whole school became a little quieter.

However, Zhao Qingrui's life was not peaceful at all, and things in the court began to increase again.

With the arrival of summer, there was more rain, and the river began to rise, and some places were also a little dry. Zhao Qingrui was planning to dig a river channel.

The south-to-north water diversion is completely unrealistic for the current Daqin.

Now we can only improve bit by bit, and we can only come slowly.

Above the court, Zhao Qingrui explained his decision.

"Your Majesty, no, it's time for the head of Guizhou to recuperate, and it's not appropriate to start these big projects." Someone immediately stood up to object.

"Yes, such a large project requires a lot of manpower, and it will take many years to complete the excavation." Many people agreed.

"Using gunpowder to dig mountains and crack rocks will reduce the amount of work." Zhao Qingrui really wanted to dig canals, but he couldn't do it like Yang Guang, otherwise accidents would happen sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, gunpowder is used in war, and it would be too wasteful to use it to crack mountains and rocks." Li Si hesitated.

The scientific research institute has invested so much money, especially in weapon research, and has achieved some achievements in recent years.

Gunpowder and other things are listed as the secrets of the Great Qin Dynasty. Such powerful things are used to open mountains and crack rocks.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the group of retorting people below with a headache, and felt a little frustrated.

"Okay, don't worry about digging the river this year. The other rivers should be sorted out this year, so as not to cause floods after the flood. Where is Li Yu?" Zhao Qingrui frowned.

The current population of Daqin is about 5000 million, half of which have only grown in these years. When the first emperor was in power, the population was only more than 2000 million.

The population of Daqin is still too small. If the head of Guizhou is transferred to dig rivers, the impact on Daqin is indeed not small.

The same is true of the father, and I don't know how to work for a few more years. She will be replaced when the population reaches hundreds of millions.

No, we have to encourage more births.

"The minister is here." Li Yu stood up.

"Li Qing is familiar with water control, and I ordered you to go to various places to dredge rivers." Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Yu and said, Li Yu is now almost middle-aged, and looks resolute and majestic.

"Your Majesty takes orders." This happened every year, and he accepted the task calmly, which was His Majesty's recognition of his ability to control water.

Xiaobai left and returned to Xianyang Palace. Xiaobai would not rush over at any time, which made Zhao Qingrui a little unaccustomed.

After reviewing the book, Zhao Qingrui ate snacks leisurely, and asked people from the Yuefu to perform a song and dance to relax himself.

I don't know where the father is now, Zhao Qingrui misses it a little.

In the past, her father wasn't often at home, so she didn't think it was a problem. She stayed in Xianyang in the past few years and spent more time with her father. Now that her father is gone, she is not used to such a life.

"Shang Lian, is there anything interesting? I think it's so boring." Zhao Qingrui supported her head and looked sideways at Shang Lian.

"There are no places to play in Xianyang City. If Your Majesty feels bored, you can go to the racecourse." Shang Lian suggested seriously.

Compared with other entertainments, riding a horse can also exercise your body. Your Majesty spends a long time in the palace dealing with government affairs, and seldom goes to exercise.

At present, she is regarded as His Majesty's personal secretary, and she must pay attention to this matter.

"Horse racing, I don't want to go, let's go to the school field to shoot arrows, I don't know if my arrow skills are still accurate." Zhao Qingrui immediately regained her spirits.
