Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 424 Stabilizing Food Prices
All parts of the north were gradually drying up, and the various actions of the court were noticed by the leaders of Guizhou. Even if the drought came, it did not cause much panic.

Over the past few years, each household has saved a lot of food, so there is no need to worry about starving to death. The imperial court has also mobilized so much food and various living materials, and these things have been registered in the newspaper.

The court's appeasement is still very useful. What should the leaders of Guizhou do? They are all working hard to prepare more things and strive to survive better.

Seeing the movements of the heads of Guizhou, Ying Zheng looked at the report sent by Jin Yiwei, and his eyes flashed with satisfaction.

It's the daughter who knows how to do these things, and the people's hearts are so important, which makes the leaders of Guizhou trust Daqin so much.

The heads of Guizhou trusted Daqin so much, so Daqin naturally couldn't let them down.

"Li Si, pay attention to the prices of Daqin, and don't let the prices of various materials rise too much." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.

"My minister has already attracted people's attention." Li Si said seriously, and he would not be polite to anyone who made a fortune at this juncture.

"Let the county lieutenants everywhere pay more attention, lest someone take advantage of this time to incite people's hearts or cause turmoil."

As Yingzheng made arrangements one by one, in addition to paying attention to the localities, he also began to pay more attention to the news in the mansion newspaper, and no one was allowed to release some random news at this time.

At this time, whoever dares to make trouble, that's the one who will do the surgery.

After these orders were arranged, Ying Zheng began to ask about Zhao Qingrui's current situation. His daughter was pregnant now, and he was really worried if he didn't hear from her every day.

Li Si and the others don't know Zhao Qingrui's situation for the time being, they just think it's because the Supreme Emperor attaches great importance to His Majesty, after all, His Majesty is the king of a country now.
-
A lot of grain was transported to various places, and some old grains were released from the warehouses of the imperial court. The price of these old grains was much cheaper than that on the market.

At the beginning, some merchants fished in troubled waters and wanted to take advantage of this time to hoard some grain.

It's just that when they saw the imperial court continuously sending food, they stopped in time.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, and they are a little afraid to imagine how much food has been saved in the imperial granary.

The price of the old grain sold by the imperial court was about [-] cents less than that on the market, even if it was old grain, it still made the heads of Guizhou very happy.

The imperial court's old grain has only been stored for a few years, and there is no mold.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, and they all bought a lot to save.

"It's better to be the current Daqin. The imperial court has stored so much food, so we won't have to worry about going hungry in the future." A man carried a bag of wheat and went home with his fellow villagers, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Yes, Daqin ended the war, and His Majesty has found so many high-yield grains. With these bought here, there is no need to worry about this year." Others quickly echoed.

Days like this are like a dream, and this is all thanks to His Majesty.

Go back and say goodbye, I hope your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor can live healthy and healthy.

This kind of situation is happening everywhere.

Daqin's huge grain reserves have forced the price of food on the market to not increase, not to mention, and even lowered the price a lot.

Those who benefited were the heads of Guizhou, and they were very happy.

There is food in hand, and there is no panic in my heart. When I noticed the drought before, the panic on my face has almost disappeared now.

In addition to selling food, Ying Zheng also asked people to dig more wells in these places.

Try to keep the farmland irrigated. If the water is really not enough, at least keep the heads of Guizhou people drinking.

Zhao Qingrui couldn't hear the simple wishes of the leaders of Guizhou. The convoy was walking on the grassland, and the situation on the grassland was a bit bad.

The rainfall in the grassland area is less than that in the Central Plains. This year's drought in the Central Plains, the precipitation in the grassland area is even less.

She has to pay more attention to this side. She doesn't want these people to betray Daqin before they are well-fed.

Zhao Qingrui told Ying Zheng what he had discovered, and asked him to bring some food here to stabilize the people here.

Ying Zheng did not object. If these people rebelled, it would not be a good thing for Daqin.

People in the grasslands do not have as much demand for land as in the Central Plains. They only need to raise more cattle and sheep to make a lot of money. The demand for cattle and sheep in the Central Plains is still very high.

Ying Zheng looked at the grain dispatch he had approved, and every time he put down the jade seal, his heart trembled a little. Fortunately, Daqin had saved enough grain in the past few years, otherwise it would not be able to withstand such a toss.

The currently mobilized grain accounted for one-tenth of the total grain stored in Daqin, and Ying Zheng still felt a little trembling.

These are the grains that have been stored for several years, and he will feel distressed to death if they are released like this.

How many troops can be raised with so much food.

The number of active soldiers in Daqin has reached about 150 million. These soldiers are scattered on the border of Daqin, guarding Daqin.

With such a huge army, it is definitely enough to defend Daqin, and Zhao Qingrui has no intention of increasing it for the time being.

Some soldiers are laid off every year, and some new recruits are recruited. The treatment is favorable.

At present, Zhao Qingrui's various requirements have been implemented without any problems.

The army spends the most besides education, and they did not disappoint Zhao Qingrui. Daqin's army, even if it is only a garrison in various places, only has about 1 people, it can completely deter the local reactionary forces.

However, Ying Zheng's thoughts are a bit different from Zhao Qingrui's. Da Qin won the world by fighting.

Zhao Qingrui called him back from the Peacock Dynasty, and there were not many chances to go to the battlefield to see him again.

Seeing the food scattered like running water, his heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife.

In addition to food, a lot of money was spent.

Zhao Qingrui knew all these things, and knew them in his heart. These were all necessary expenditures.

Besides, those old grains have been stored for several years, and if they are not taken out to eat, they will be destroyed. Taking them out at this time will not only alleviate the current crisis, but also earn a fortune and gain a good reputation. Carved, worth it.

There have been a few rains in the southern region this year, and the water level in the river has not dropped much. It is not a big problem to survive this year.

There will not be much impact on the south side, but it will be a bit serious on the north side. For more than three months, there has not been a single drop of rain.

Yingzheng sent people to dig wells, and they had to dig about half as deep as before to get water.

Thinking of these situations, Zhao Qingrui became even more worried.

I just hope that in the most difficult time, those anti-Qin elements will not cause trouble.

Although it has been cleaned up several times, anti-Qin elements are still active in various parts of Daqin, and they can't be killed.

After Zhao Qingrui finished reading the report, he threw them on the case table and lay on the rocking chair. Shang Lian and Dunwei had already gone to deal with the officials here, and in two months, they would arrive at Lu Zhi , Zhao Qingrui was looking forward to it.

The future empress of the great man, even if her son is so useless, she can still support the whole man. This is the important minister she is optimistic about in the future and needs to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, even if there is an ice mirror in the room, Zhao Qingrui still feels hot and impetuous.

As the weather got hotter, the speed of the convoy also decreased a lot.

After the speed of the convoy slowed down, Zhao Qingrui was still not idle every day. Except that she didn't personally come forward for the matters on the grassland, she handled the matters here personally.

"Your Majesty, the officials here want to see you, I think they seem to have discovered something." Shang Lian talked about what happened today.

"No." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"But, looking at them, I want to break into His Majesty's residence." Shang Lian said with a headache.

The situation at that time was a bit intense, and some people even pointed the finger at her and Dunwei, saying that they took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to control His Majesty and so on.

All of them were righteous and wanted to forcibly break into Zhao Qingrui's residence in the name of caring for the emperor.

If the army hadn't stopped them, those people might have broken in.

Shang Lian just briefly talked about the situation at that time, and Zhao Qingrui had already guessed the scene at that time.

"Okay, they want to force the palace, let Dunwei check all the people here carefully." Zhao Qingrui sneered.

I haven't shown up for a long time, some people have other thoughts.

Is this the local anti-Qin forces, or the temptation behind the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?Zhao Qingrui thinks both are possible.

If these people were aware of her physical condition, there would be quite a few people who wanted to take advantage of her weakness to make trouble.

When she was pregnant, she wanted to live a more peaceful life, or kill all dangers in the cradle.

If there is no problem with these people, then continue to appoint them, if there is a problem, then replace them, some people are willing to take over.

Jin Yiwei's infiltration in various places now, it didn't take long to find out the detailed information Zhao Qingrui needed, and now Zhao Qingrui has set off again.

After reading the news sent by Jin Yiwei, Zhao Qingrui sneered, "There are always people who don't have eyes, and even people who surprise me, send this piece of information back to Father, and let Father handle it. "

Zhao Qingrui's sneer made his heart tremble. His Majesty is really angry.

"No, I will send the information back right now." Dun weakly said respectfully, he could already imagine the scene where Emperor Shi Huang was furious.

After Dunwei left, Zhao Qingrui looked at the quarterly summary sent by the Ministry of Industry again.

It is mainly about the construction of the railway station and the construction of the train. At present, a train that can be used for operation has been built, but the train track has not been laid yet.

After the laying of the train track is completed, it will take two days to reach from Xianyang to Lingnan without exhausting the horses.

Seeing these news, the displeasure on Zhao Qingrui's face dissipated a lot.

That's great, I really want to see the train running soon.

As long as there are trains, it will definitely drive Daqin's economy and population flow. Although the population flow is not easy to manage, it will also make Daqin better.

When the train to Lingnan is ready, we will start to open the route to Liaodong County.

Thinking of Daqin, which will become more lively in the future, Zhao Qingrui is sincerely happy.

In addition to the good news from the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Qingrui also received a lot of good news from the farm. The things Sui Shicong brought back contained a lot of spices, and there were not many crops that could be grown in Daqin. few.

Although the specific value of these things is not yet clear, as long as there are one or two things that can enrich Daqin's life, it is a profit.

Hearing these good news, the haze in Zhao Qingrui's heart dissipated a lot, that's great.

Jin Yiwei's news was sent back to Xianyang in a hurry. Ying Zheng was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the girl sent the news in such a hurry, why it was suddenly so urgent, or something major happened to the girl.

Thinking that his daughter might be in danger, Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he quickly opened the envelope.

There was a lot of content in the letter, several sheets of paper, and after Ying Zheng read it, his face completely darkened.

"Come on, go and call all the princes and princesses in Xianyang." Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, his face was so black that he was about to drip.

"No." Zhao Gaoxin also trembled. Since the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, he has been cultivating his morals and rarely loses his temper.

Now even if he takes over state affairs again, he is rarely angry anymore. He discussed with the six ministers about matters in the court, and those things did not make him angry.

With today's situation, those princes and princesses are afraid that they will not get better.

What did they do?It actually made the Supreme Emperor so angry.

After a while, all the young masters came over.

Ying Zheng looked at them with a cold face. Although he didn't value these children as much as Zhao Qingrui and Fusu, he didn't lack them.

"Meet your father."

"Now you are not too young. I think I have never treated you badly. After Qing Rui came to power, although the treatment of the clan has been reduced, you have more opportunities for development, and she has never treated you badly." Ying Zheng said indifferently. Said.

"Father, what's wrong with my little sister?" Young Master Jiang Lu asked cautiously, Father's complexion is not very good now.

I heard before that my younger sister fell ill after going on tour, and she is still recovering from her illness, so the general is a little worried.

"Qingrui is fine, but you are the ones who have trouble. Daqin never treated you badly. Qingrui even restarted the enfeoffment and promised to give you the fiefdom. Now that she is sick, someone is starting to show up. Is it because the widow died?" Ying Zheng looked at it. He glanced at Jiang Lu, and then his eyes fell on the others.

In the past few years of comfortable life, and Zhao Qingrui's illness for so long, some people are starting to feel anxious.

Some people are at a loss, some people shrink their necks.

"Daqin will only belong to Qingrui. You'd better let me accept your little thoughts, otherwise I will come and destroy the clan in person." Ying Zheng was a little disappointed. He did something, but he didn't have the courage to stand up.

If he had the courage to stand up and admit it, Ying Zheng would still look up to him.
