Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

During this period of time, the shipyard has also been busy quickly.

The demand for warships is higher. Fortunately, many large ships have been built before, and now some more can be used.

Looking at the report sent up, Zhao Qingrui already knew the situation of the warship.

The warships of Daqin have now used steam engines, and the speed has increased by several degrees again. There are more large ships, and when the Maurya Dynasty is defeated in the future, these fast ships can also deliver messages faster. .

In addition to the news about the shipyard, Wang Yuan also sent various information about the rubber factory.

He also wrote a letter to resign from the position of the factory manager, and wanted to follow Wang Li to attack the Maurya Dynasty.

The rubber factory has grown rapidly over the past few years and has made great profits for Daqin. Wang Yuan's ability must not be a problem.

However, the Wang family was born as a general, and Zhao Qingrui could understand Wang Yuan's desire to go to the battlefield.

Whether to let Wang Yuan go, Zhao Qingrui hesitated.

The main reason is that there are no people who take over the rubber factory. Zhao Qingrui is very clear about the importance of rubber, and it is necessary to arrange for a trustworthy and capable person to go there.

"What is Your Majesty worried about?" Shang Lian brought the memorial book with her when she came over.

"Wang Yuan wants to enter the Lingnan army and follow Wang Li to attack the Peacock Dynasty. I am worried that no one can take over the rubber factory." Zhao Qingrui still decided to approve Wang Yuan's request.

At present, all kinds of materials are not ready yet, especially the powerful things like gunpowder. There are many troops guarding the border in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the demand for gunpowder is also high.

Although the bird gun has been produced, it is still in the experiment and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

"I do have a suitable candidate." Shang Lian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her majesty to be worried about this matter.

"Who? Let's hear it." Zhao Qingrui asked with interest.

"It's Wei Xi. Now he is an official in the household department. I feel that he is a bit inferior in this position." Shang Lian said seriously.

Wei Xi, I forgot about such a person. When this person was in the cabinet, he was generous in his actions, and he was able to deal with any problems with ease.

"Go and let Wei Xi come over." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian and said.

"Sir, go here."

After a while, Wei Xi was brought over.

After leaving the cabinet, Wei Xi also went to the local government to practice for several years. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted ahead of schedule.

"You don't have to be polite, Wei Qing, sit down, I'll chat with you casually." Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi who was wearing glasses, he looked more like a modern elite.

Since Zhao Qingrui got out the glasses, the glasses have been liked by many scholars.

Especially now that there are more and more books of all kinds, more and more people with myopia, and more and more uses for glasses.

Moreover, wearing glasses looks very refined, and some people even wear plain glasses just for the sake of looking good.

Of course, Wei Xi is not wearing plain glasses, he is really nearsighted.

There are a lot of affairs in the cabinet. After arriving at the local government, he is also working very hard to make achievements. Apart from being busy with government affairs, he is still working hard to enrich himself. In his spare time, he will read all kinds of books.

He doesn't have a strong background, so he can only work harder, and just like that, he hardened himself into myopia.

"Your Majesty is terrified, just say what your majesty wants you to do." Wei Xi said terrified, but neither humble nor overbearing.

"How are you doing in the household department?" Zhao Qingrui asked gently.

"Very good, I have adapted well, and Mr. Li has taken good care of the officials of the household department." Wei Xi said seriously.

"It's good to get used to it. I heard that you are very good at the affairs of the household department. I wonder if you have any opinions on managing factories?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi with burning eyes.

This person is also one of the six future candidates for Shangshu, and Zhao Qingrui is very optimistic about him.

"I have some humble opinion. I have learned about some official factories in Daqin. The internal management is like the imperial court. There are various departments related to the factory. They are all for the better operation of the factory and no mistakes." Wei Xi Simply stated my opinion.

"Papa." Zhao Qingrui clapped her hands and sighed, "That's right, Wei Qing has a thorough understanding, I'm very pleased."

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high." Wei Xi said calmly.

He grew up with all kinds of compliments since he was a child, and he has become accustomed to these compliments.

After entering the court, he discovered that he is not the best, he still has many shortcomings, and there are many people who are more powerful than him.

The more he learned, the more he felt small and humble.

"You should know that Wang Yuan was managing the rubber factory before. He is going to resign now. I want you to take over the position of factory director. I wonder if you would like to?" Zhao Qingrui admired Wei Xi's modesty and eagerness to learn. She is quite satisfied with many rising stars in the court.

Thanks to the great man, she has learned so many things, and made her understand the importance of enlightening people's wisdom, otherwise there would not be so many outstanding talents in the court.

"Well, I don't have experience in managing factories, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Wei Xi didn't expect His Majesty to let him manage a rubber factory.

"It's okay, Wang Yuan also came to this point from the beginning when he didn't understand anything. Wang Yuan hasn't left yet. If you pass, let him teach you more." Zhao Qingrui didn't think it was a big deal.

"Then, I take orders." Wei Xi still agreed.

At the court meeting on the second day, Wei Xi received the letter of appointment issued by Zhao Qingrui.

Walking out of the Qilin Hall, Wei Xi looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, and then at Shang Lian, "Thank you, Mr. Shang, for your recommendation."

"It's okay, the main thing is that you are capable. If you don't, I won't recommend it." Shang Lian said with a smile.

"I still want to thank Lord Shang for his kind words in front of His Majesty." Wei Xi bowed.

"Okay, when you arrive at the rubber factory, you have to work hard. His Majesty actually values ​​you very much." Shang Lian said seriously.

"The lower official understands, thank you Lord Shang for reminding me." Wei Xi said seriously.

Wei Xi first went to the household department, handed over the work in his hands to the people in the household department, and then headed home.

After returning home, he asked his wife to start packing up.

The letter of appointment stated that he should arrive in Lingnan within a month. Since he has already accepted the job, he wants to do his best and go there as soon as possible so that he can get in touch with Wang Yuan and learn more about the rubber factory from him. .

"So urgent?" Mrs. Wei asked in surprise.

"Let's go there earlier, so that we can learn more from Mr. Wang." Wei Xi explained briefly.

"Understood, but Xin'er is still too young. We went there like this, and the boats and cars are exhausting. Are you really okay?" Wei Xin is Wei Xi's youngest daughter, who is only one year old this year. Mrs. Wei asked worriedly.

"We take a boat, which is faster and safer." At present, Daqin's water transportation is very developed, especially after steam engines are used on large ships, the shipping industry has developed rapidly.

Nowadays, steamships are not only used in wars, but also used for civilian purposes, specially used on rivers in various places, making it more convenient and cheaper for the head of Guizhou to take a boat.

"Okay." Mrs. Wei didn't say any more, as long as Wei Xi's decision didn't harm the family, she basically seldom refuted it.

The status of Daqin women has improved a lot, and many women who are not inferior to men have emerged.

However, Mrs. Wei is not that kind of woman. Compared with being an official or a teacher, or even starting her own business, she prefers to revolve around her own small family.

Wei Xi's salary is quite high, and she only gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son is smart and sensible, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all. The younger daughter was just born, and she is also cute and cute.

Although there are no parents-in-law at home to help take care of her, she is still able to do a job with ease.

Now that I'm suddenly moving away, I'm not used to it.

"What about our house in Xianyang?" Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Xi. This house was rewarded by His Majesty. It has a good location and is very spacious. She likes this house very much.

"Let it out, we should stay in Lingnan for several years." Wei Xi said after thinking for a while.

As long as the house is listed, some people want to rent it.

"We are in a hurry to go to Lingnan, so I have to trouble my elder brother with this matter. You can go there later." Wei Xi decided to entrust the renting of the house to his elder brother.

"Okay, I just want to tell Auntie and the others." Mrs. Wei answered seriously.

It has been several years since I left, so I must talk about it.

When his wife took the little daughter to her natal home, Wei Xi also started to pack up her study. This time it will take several years to go to Lingnan, so she has to bring important books with her.

Although the books outside are cheap, money is needed everywhere in the house. The children have to study in the future, and the whole family needs to eat and wear. All kinds of pressure are on his head, so he can only save as much as possible.

When Wei Xi was almost done tidying up, his wife actually called several uncles over.

"Brother-in-law, let's help you clean up." The few people didn't put on airs, and helped with the work as soon as they came.

"Ah Weng asked Big Brother and the others to come over, saying that we have a lot of things. Big Brother and them have a lot of strength. We are not easy to carry things. Let Big Brother and them send us to Lingnan, so as to protect our safety." Mrs. Wei explained in a low voice. one time.

"Will this be too much trouble for uncle and the others?" Wei Xi hesitated.

"It's okay. It's not a busy time for farming. It just so happens that we haven't been to Lingnan yet. We'll learn a lot when we go there." Uncle Lin Qingshan said with a silly smile.

Mrs. Wei's natal family is just an ordinary farmer's family, and they never thought that Wei Xi would fall in love with their girl. Moreover, after Wei Xi got married, there was only Mrs. Wei, who never messed around outside, which made them even more fond of this son-in-law. Take it seriously.

Wei Xi doesn't have much interest in those things, does it cost money?There are now two children in the family, and the work of supporting the family is all on him, and there are endless jobs, so he doesn't want to support those women for nothing.

"You are all gone, don't you worry that father-in-law and mother-in-law are at home?" Wei Xi looked at the brothers with some emotion. He is often busy with work, and if there is anything at home, the brothers will often come to help .

"My daughter-in-law and the others are here, so it's fine." Lin Qingshan said indifferently, the law and order in Xianyang is so good, there is no need to worry at all.

In the end, Wei Xi agreed with them to go together.

In the past few years, the family has set up some family business. These things are all dependent on their husband and wife. It is indeed difficult to bring them to Lingnan.

Wei Xi and the others set off two days later. Before they left, they visited the palace. Zhao Qingrui asked him to bring an imperial edict to Wang Yuan, gave him some money, and then sent him away.

Walking out of the palace with the money, the corner of Wei Xi's mouth twitched. He found that His Majesty liked rewarding money, especially for some officials from ordinary families.

The money is not much, but it can also make life at home a little better.

However, His Majesty's actions warmed his heart and made him want to work harder to repay His Majesty.

After Wei Xi left, Zhao Qingrui looked at the account books sent by the household department. Although these account books have been sorted out, the household department is in charge of many affairs of Daqin. There are still many accounts, and she needs to understand each item. Fan, do know what you know.
-
Ying Zheng and the others have traveled to many places in the Maurya Dynasty during this period, but this time they did not go to the capital of the Maurya Dynasty.

From what he saw and heard during this period, Ying Zheng already had a general understanding of this place.

The kingdom is corrupt, and the king is even more fatuous and tyrannical.

Jainism was very rampant in the Mauryan Dynasty, but fortunately, the appearance of their Daqin people made them fearful.

During the period of the Maurya Dynasty, they also saw many Daqin businessmen. Many products of Daqin were very popular in the Maurya Dynasty, and the selling price was very high.

Of course, Zhao Qingrui has already found out about the purchase of steam engines by the Maurya Dynasty. There are currently six steam engines in the Maurya Dynasty, and they have dismantled three of them. The technology is not good enough, and there is no such thing as rubber.

They didn't dare to dismantle the rest. Even so, relying on the steam engine, they still spun a lot of fabrics and made a lot of money.

"The Supreme Emperor, we have already found out, but we want to destroy those steam engines?" Wang Jian said seriously. The steam engines belong to Daqin, and these people must not be taken advantage of.

"No need, Qingrui has entrusted Fusu and the others. When the Maurya Dynasty is brought down, give this steam engine to Fusu and the others." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"This matter was discussed so soon?" Wang Jian's eyes widened, knowing that there was a connection between the First Emperor and His Majesty, he did not expect to discuss this matter so quickly.

"Well, let's go back first, and let's take a look when it's time to attack the Maurya Dynasty." Ying Zheng nodded proudly. After knowing how his daughter selected the princes and kings, Ying Zheng became more and more satisfied.

"Okay, the veteran will have to go to the battlefield to try it out. I hope His Majesty will not stop the veteran." Wang Jian immediately said cheerfully, he hasn't been to the battlefield for many years, and he is really looking forward to it.
