Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

After several years of development, the scale of the experimental field at Shanglin Garden has expanded several times, all of which were specially approved by Zhao Qingrui.

In addition to expanding the area, Zhao Qingrui also allocated a lot of money.

The farmers did not disappoint her either. Many hybrid varieties have been researched over the years, which has enriched Daqin's grain variety and increased its output.

Zhao Qingrui brought Shang Lian over, and Xu Changming hurried over to guide Zhao Qingrui, and took them to see their latest achievements.

The current farmhouse is divided into several departments, some specializing in millet and wheat, fruit trees, fungi, and fertilizers.

There are more and more people in the farm family, and research in various aspects has been greatly developed.

"Your Majesty, the fruit trees here are all grafted with the sweetest fruits. This is the most successful." Xu Changming asked someone to bring over a plate of oranges, cut them carefully, and put them in front of Zhao Qingrui.

Xu Changming's eyes were bright, as long as His Majesty liked him, His Majesty might be able to allocate more money, so that it would be more convenient for them to do what they wanted, right?

I picked up a piece and tasted it, and my eyes lit up immediately, it tasted really good.

"Eat it too, it tastes good." Although it is not as sweet as the fruits of later generations, it is still quite good.

The most important thing is that it is very fragrant, with a very strong fruity fragrance, which is much more fragrant than those that were ripened by medicine in later generations.

"Master Xu, the people in the farm are really amazing, they can grow such delicious fruits." Shang Lian gave a thumbs up.

"My lord Shang praised you. These are what we should do. The main reason is His Majesty's strong support for us." Xu Changming said with a smile, it was their farm family's blessing to meet His Majesty, and it was also the blessing of all schools of thought.

"Can this kind of fruit tree be promoted?" Zhao Qingrui's lips curled up in a good mood.

"Return to Your Majesty, it has not been promoted yet, this variety is not stable enough, we need to wait another two years." Xu Changming said hastily.

"Well, according to your progress, you have promoted so many good things in the past few years, and I will remember your credit." Zhao Qingrui didn't point fingers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Xu Changming said respectfully.

"How many experimental fields have the farmers established in various places?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Xu Changming while eating an orange.

In the past few years, the farmers have also expanded rapidly, but they are all farming, and Zhao Qingrui is also optimistic about their situation, so he didn't ask too much.

Seeing Xu Changming now, Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of the farmer's situation, so he asked about it.

"Returning to Your Majesty, basically every county has an experimental field, which is used to study the crops in various places and adapt to the local crops." Xu Changming said after thinking for a while.

The speed of the farm's expansion is indeed quite fast, and there are too many people, and he, the leader of the farm, can't manage it.

Your Majesty asked this, could it be that someone from the farm family committed a crime?

Or, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the peasants?

He had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. Xu Changming was ready to check the situation inside the farm after His Majesty left.

Zhao Qingrui nodded, "What about grasslands and deserts? Are there any farmers?"

If you want to completely return those places in the grassland, you have to let those people have enough food to eat.

The grassland cannot be destroyed wantonly, which makes Zhao Qingrui a little tricky, so the farmers can only think of ways.

There are also desert areas. It is simply too difficult to grow things in those places.

At present, food can only be mobilized from the Central Plains to these places.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in Daqin at present, and the amount that the court can dispatch is also more.

"Yes, but not many, especially in the desert area. The conditions over there are too bad. Many disciples from farmers went there before. Because they were not suitable for the environment there, several of them died of illness. Some of them couldn't hold on, so they came back. .” Xu Changming sighed.

When he first found out about this, he asked for leave and went to these places, and he also saw the harsh conditions in these places.

Even he finds it difficult, let alone those peasant disciples who have lived in the Central Plains since childhood.

"How many people are left in the desert?" Zhao Qingrui nodded, she really didn't know these things.

But now that we know it, we need to improve it.

"I pass on the imperial edict that the salary of farm disciples in the desert area will be tripled, and those who are willing to go to the desert experimental fields will be rewarded by the imperial court. The rewards achieved there will be double those in the Central Plains." Zhao Qingrui decided Raise the reward a bit to motivate those peasant disciples.

Later generations will be able to make so many tricks in the desert area, she believes that Daqin can do it, and people from the farm family can do it.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for the disciples of the peasant family who are struggling in the desert area." Xu Changming was stunned for a moment, then moved and shouted. His Majesty really valued the peasant family the most and had so many gifts for the peasant family.

"There's only so much I can do. Daqin's future granary will have to rely on the talents of the farmers." Zhao Qingrui went over to help Xu Changming himself.

Farming is indeed extremely important to Daqin, and only when he is full can he do other things.

"Your Majesty, the farmer is willing to help Daqin." Xu Changming was so moved, he immediately felt that the farmer was extremely important and wanted to grow more food for His Majesty.

After Zhao Qingrui and the others left, Xu Changming was still moved. He called all the people in the farm to brainwash them, let them understand the importance of the farm, and encouraged them to work harder.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Qingrui issued an edict on the treatment of farmers in the desert area, letting everyone know.

"Your Majesty, it is too difficult to grow plants in those places in the desert, and there are very few plants that can be grown alive. Is it really necessary to invest so much?" Feng Quji disagreed with Zhao Qingrui's approach.

"Feng Qing should think in a better way. If the peasants have developed high-yield grains, they can even be planted in desert areas, so my Daqin granary will not be able to fit." Zhao Qingrui chuckled, in the eyes of these people , the desert area is probably a burden.

The grassland can at least herd sheep and horses, so that Daqin has no shortage of cattle, sheep and horses, and can eat more meat.

As for the desert, the conditions in the desert are too harsh, and the water source is scarce, and a lot of food in Daqin cannot be grown there.

The desert is now included in the territory of Daqin. Apart from the fact that the place is large enough, it has no effect. It also wastes food and has a lot of educational resources. It is really not worth the candle.

There are many people who think this way, and many people don't take the desert to heart.

These Zhao Qingrui knew that they couldn't change their minds for the time being, so they had to take their time.

If you want to change their minds, you have to rely on the farmers.

"Is this really possible?" Feng Quji hesitated.

If it weren't for Zhao Qingrui's swearing, someone in the court would write a letter to give up these areas.

"Of course, everything is possible." Zhao Qingrui said firmly.

Maybe in the future, all the deserts will become oases.

"Daqin's treasury can support these consumptions, and I think it's worth it." Zhao Qingrui continued.

"I'm short-sighted. I will warn the officials below to control their speech." Feng Quji sighed and decided to listen to Zhao Qingrui.

At present, there are no major problems with the policies proposed by Zhao Qingrui. Even if there are problems, they are still problems within the imperial court.

"It's good that Feng Qing can understand." Zhao Qingrui smiled a little more, and Feng Quji is now able to accept a lot of new ideas, which is great.

As long as it is not a confidential matter in the court, these decrees will be spread throughout Daqin as quickly as possible.

The result of doing so is also obvious, Qianshou is more loyal to Daqin, and those who are secretly doing things, sometimes do not need the court to investigate, Qianshou has already revealed these people.

There are a lot of discussions on this matter outside, and Zhao Qingrui will go out to listen to it when he is free. Although he does not have as much control over other places as Xianyang, Zhao Qingrui can be said to be very clear about the situation in Xianyang .

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yingyuan is asking to see you." While Zhao Qingrui was leisurely drinking the milk tea brought by the cook, the maid came to report.

"Ying Yuan? Tell him to come in." Zhao Qingrui paused.

At this time, Ying Yuan came here, why?Zhao Qingrui stroked her chin.

In fact, she doesn't like to intervene in the affairs of the clan. Those people are too far away from her, and they make things difficult for her from time to time. It's better for those people in the court to be more obedient.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wannian." Ying Yuan entered, saluting respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite, why are you here at this time?" Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

Ying Yuan got up slowly and looked at Zhao Qingrui calmly, "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements and are going to Lingnan first to make the final preparations for the feudal land."

"It's ready so soon?" Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows. During this time, Zhao Qingrui knew everything about Ying Yuan and the others.

Ying Yuan's performance was quite satisfactory, but in fact, he had made a lot of preparations secretly. Zhao Qingrui knew what he had done, and was not afraid of what he would do.

As long as he didn't actually do something now, she could tolerate it.

"It's ready. It's still under His Majesty's rule. Daqin is so prosperous that you can buy everything you want. Your Majesty's achievements will last forever." Ying Yuan said seriously.

Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Yuan silently, it was really strange that he did not expect him to compliment her.

"Now that we're ready, let's go to Lingnan to find Wang Li and the others, and bring my handwriting." Zhao Qingrui thought for a while and said, not caring about Ying Yuan's flattery.

"Yes." Seeing that Zhao Qingrui agreed, Ying Yuan heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously. He was really worried that Zhao Qingrui would detain him, or send him a few people to watch him or something.

If Zhao Qingrui really spoke up, if he refused, maybe she would be suspicious of him or something.

Ying Yuan didn't know at all that at this time, several Jin Yiwei had already mixed into his team.

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's get back." Not wanting to see Ying Yuan's face, Zhao Qingrui directly issued the order to evict the guest.

"Resignation." Ying Yuan also felt that he had nothing to say.

After Ying Yuan left, Zhao Qingrui pampered Xiao Bai one after another, and began to think about the newly appointed princes and kings.

She wasn't surprised that Ying Yuan was ready so soon, but what was he doing so early?
According to her plan, before the end of the year, all the princes and kings are ready, and after the spring of the next year, the army will set out to attack the Maurya Dynasty.

There is still half a year left, and he ran to Lingnan so early.

Could it be that he is still in contact with the people of the Maurya Dynasty and is planning to do something?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui narrowed her eyes slightly, she couldn't ignore it completely.

"The transmission is weak."
-
Xiao He and Cao Shen came to Longxi County, they had worked here before, and they only returned to Xianyang for two years.

Now that they came back again, both of them felt a little complicated.

"Brother Xiao, we will part ways in the next few days." Cao Shen cupped his hands to Xiao He.

"Well, Brother Cao, be careful." Xiao He nodded.

The two had already negotiated on the way here, Xiao He was going to be an imperial envoy, and Cao Shen secretly visited the local area to see if the situation was different from the memorial submitted by the officials, and if there were any problems with the officials.

"I'll save it." Cao Shen nodded with a smile. He also wanted to see if the situation here had changed after he left.

After the two parted, Cao Shen left the inn with two guards.

Today's Longxi County is connected to the grassland, and there are many special products of the grassland here. Under the governance of him and Xiao He in the past few years, the economy here has also developed very well.

He pretended to be a businessman and brought a batch of beautiful porcelain into Longxi County.

At this time, the situation in Longxi County was not very good. Cao Shen frowned along the way.

Many houses in the head of Guizhou collapsed, and even the river embankment here was cracked with huge gaps, but no officials were seen organizing repairs.

"Old man, how do we get to Lintao? It's our first time here, so we're not familiar with it." Cao Shen walked towards an old man who was cutting a tree.

"Go straight along this road for half an hour, and you will be on the official road. There is a road sign." The old man raised his eyes to look at Cao Shen, and pointed to the left side of the fork in the road.

"Thank you, old man." Cao Can said cheerfully, "Old man, I heard that there was an earthquake here, and I saw that many houses here have collapsed. Why didn't the officials arrange people to help?"

"Why do you help? The officials are busy, you young man, what are you doing asking these things?" The old man glanced at Cao Shen speechlessly.

"Just ask, I think it's a depressed place here, and I don't know if the goods I brought over this time will sell well?" As he spoke, he sighed with feigned melancholy.

The old man stretched his neck to look at the things on the carriage, and said speechlessly, "The biggest shortage here is building materials, and your porcelain will definitely not be affected."

"Is it lively in Lintao? Are there many people?" Cao Shen deliberately chatted, took out a piece of yellowish flour pancake from his bag, and gave it to the old man, and then sat on the tree that the old man cut down.
