I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 288 It costs money

After returning to the palace, Zhao Jun rushed into the room. She had to quickly draw up the recruitment details.

It was not until the evening that Qingliu came back from outside on his bicycle, and Zhao Jun came out of the room after hearing the sound.

The two started talking while eating today's dinner.

"Sir, the scholars have already made arrangements. They are all working on their own lesson plans. Two of them have been submitted today. I think there are a few things that are obviously wrong. I have asked them to go back and correct them."

"Someone from the General's Office has also come today. They say that the construction of the university outside the city has been basically completed according to your requirements. Please go and inspect it when you have time."

Qingliu gave a detailed report on today's work. There were basically no problems and she had already dealt with them.

"Well, okay, I'll go over to the university to check and accept it in a few days."

"Tomorrow you and Fusu can discuss it and prepare to release the news."

"clear."

Qingliu nodded, he had already said this before.

"I probably won't have time to go to Dianmao tomorrow. You and Fusu should pay more attention to this matter."

Zhao Jun thought about the details he had drawn up, and estimated that he might have to go to the army with Meng Yi tomorrow.

The next day, Qingliu went out early as usual.

Zhao Jun wanted to take a nap, but his work didn't allow it.

But even then, she didn't go out until after nine o'clock.

She first went to find Ying Zheng and showed him the recruitment details drawn up yesterday.

"Your Majesty, if there is no problem, I will go find Meng Yi and start recruiting people in the army."

Ying Zheng lowered his head and silently looked at the clearly marked content.

"I don't have any objections, but your treatment is too good. All the money comes from your internal affairs office. This is not a small sum."

"According to my opinion, these soldiers are idle anyway. Just provide them with meals."

It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't care about the soldiers, it's just that he feels bad for spending such a large sum of money.

"It's still not appropriate. Have you seen the people I am mainly recruiting here? These people have all contributed to Da Qin, and we must think about their future."

"The king was still worried about the military merit system before. Although I haven't come up with any particularly specific good solutions for the time being, I know that the number of soldiers will inevitably be reduced in the future. After all, there are not so many sticks to beat."

"Then what should we do with these dismissed soldiers? I think these people are basically from the old Qin country, so we definitely can't ignore them."

"So we take advantage of this opportunity to give this retired soldier a place to go. Although it may not be as good as earning a title from fighting, at least his safety is guaranteed and he can still get wages."

"This can be regarded as setting an example for soldiers who may have to retire in the future. Da Qin has not forgotten their contribution."

Zhao Jun expressed some of his thoughts.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.

"Okay, then do what you want."

He understood the connotation of Zhao Jun. In fact, he himself was not unwilling to give this soldier good treatment.

This is not all caused by poverty. If he had more money, he would be willing to reward these people vigorously.

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty."

"However, I have something to tell you in advance. The wages are all paid by your Internal Affairs Bureau. The profits of your several workshops have been very good in recent years."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he glanced sideways at her, and he remembered the account books reported by the Imperial Palace a year ago.

No wonder she is so generous now, the Nei Shifu has saved money now.

"Oh, Your Majesty, isn't this for sure? I'll come out, I'll come out."

Zhao Jun didn't expect to get money from him at all.

"By the way, Your Majesty, which army should I join when Meng Yi and I go to recruit workers?"

She has always been in charge of economic matters, and she really didn't pay much attention to Qin's army.

"You should go directly to General Wang Jian. He has a lot of troops. There should be people you want to recruit, but..."

Speaking of Wang Jian, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jun was confused, something happened that she didn't know about.

"Nothing, General Wang Jian is ready to retire and return home."

That's about it. She remembered that General Wang Jian seemed to be in his 70s.

Retirement is long overdue at this age.

This Ying Zheng still doesn’t want people to retire?
A heartless boss.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but secretly complain about him.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll leave first."

Ying Zheng seemed to be distressed that his love was about to retire, so he waved his hand and let her out.

After Zhao Jun went out, he ran to Simei Mansion in a hurry.

This is where Meng Yi works now.

The concierge knew her, so she walked straight in quickly.

I also met many officials who greeted me on the way, but Zhao Jun didn’t recognize any of them.

However, as she looked along, she discovered that there were quite a few officials in the Simei Mansion.

"Master Zhao, Master Meng is in the room inside."

Zhao Jun nodded and let people out. He walked to the door cautiously and quietly looked inside.

I saw Meng Yi sitting on a chair, with a teacup on his left hand and tapping the table with his right hand.

The whole person looks very upright, if you ignore the vacant look in his eyes.

"Hey, what is Mr. Meng doing?"

She looked outside for a while and then opened the door and went in.

"Master Zhao, you are here. Your Majesty thought I was entering the palace on my own."

Meng Yi was brought back to his senses by her voice, and he smiled and asked people to sit down.

"I think you are too leisurely. You have time to daze, unlike me who is busy all day long."

She seemed to sigh and glanced at him.

"That's what you need, sir. Besides, I've been assigned a task, too. I just took a break from my busy schedule."

Meng Yi smiled and gave a fake reply.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. Your Majesty has already made it clear to you."

"understood."

Meng Yi nodded.

He was summoned to the palace yesterday afternoon to explain clearly.

"I haven't heard of you mentioning such a big thing before."

Meng Yi was shocked for the whole day yesterday, and he was a little better today.

Who would have thought that such a magical thing could be researched? It is unheard of, and I don’t know when I can see it in person.

"I can't tell you anything, it's confidential."

"Okay, I have something to do with you today. I have already told the king. Let's go directly to General Wang Jian and ask him to take us into the military camp."

She still wanted to find them all today.

"Okay, no problem. Yesterday, the king told me that he was going to the army to find workers."

"It has been confirmed that we are recruiting people from General Wang Jian's staff, so I will take you to the Wang family now."

When Meng Yi heard this, he immediately stood up and prepared to take Zhao Jun to the Wang family.

The two quickly left Simei Mansion and went straight to Wang's house.

Fortunately, Meng Yi led the way, otherwise Zhao Jun would really not know the place.
