Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 131
Back at Xuanyi Palace, Zhao Gao brought people over, and these were the people who brought her those things.

Seeing so many things being sent over, Zhao Qingrui already felt the heavy paternal love.

"Your Highness, I have to deliver things to Princess Yinman and the others, so I won't bother Your Highness." Zhao Gao said respectfully, the things His Majesty sent to the little princess were almost as good as those sent to all the princes and princesses.

"Well, you go." Zhao Qingrui nodded.

Turning to Chunxi, she said, "Have someone put these things in order and record them carefully."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Chunxi said quickly, with so many things, there really can't be any mistakes.

All these things went into Zhao Qingrui's small warehouse.

In fact, Yingzheng has sent her a lot of good things over the years, and she has not missed what other princes and princesses have.

After returning to Xianyang, because of the guilt in his heart, Ying Zheng picked some good things from his private treasury and sent them to Zhao Qingrui from time to time.

It can be said that the current Zhao Qingrui is definitely the wealthiest among all the princes and princesses.

Seeing Chunxi's diligent and busy appearance, Zhao Qingrui smiled. This girl has a pure heart. After returning to Xianyang, sometimes she wondered whether she is suitable for life in Xianyang.

Chunxi was two years older than her, if she met the right one, marry her off as soon as possible, Zhao Qingrui thought about it.

The matter of going to see Zhang Liang was put on hold, but Zhao Qingrui gave up. Knowing that Zhang Liang's wife and children were staying in the palace obediently, Zhao Qingrui had nothing to worry about.

After the morning court ended on the second day, Li Si and the others were called to Zhangtai Palace.

"I'm calling everyone here today to discuss the matter of corvée. Qing Rui means to use work as a substitute for relief. Now there is some food in the treasury." Ying Zheng sat at the head and looked at the few people. These people are important officials in the court and he trusts them people.

"This is work in lieu of relief, what is Your Highness going to do?" Feng Quji looked at Zhao Qingrui.

"Great Qin and Qianshou are suffering. It is impossible for the court to directly distribute millet to feed everyone. Only by giving can there be rewards. This year's corvee is postponed. I want to change the system of corvee. The service is all voluntary. The court will take out corn. Everyone How much corn or silver can be obtained by serving corvee, so there will definitely be many people who are willing to serve." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"If it's all settled with corn and silver, it will be too much of a burden on the court." Li Si frowned. The court had finally got something, and they wanted to use the money and food to fill the corvee. Money and food are needed everywhere.

"What Li Xiang said is reasonable. Your Highness's concern about the head of Guizhou is the blessing of Great Qin. However, many other places in Great Qin also need a lot of money and food." Feng Quji agrees with Li Si on this point.

In the past few years, it was very good to be able to eat enough to serve in corvee. If there is no money and food, it is not a good time.

"Everyone, what do you think is the most important thing in a country?" Zhao Qingrui also cared about their rebuttals, which was expected.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the king. The king is the core of a country. The king manages a country as a whole. Only the king's orders can make a country run quickly." Feng Jie said seriously.

Several other people obviously agreed, at least in Daqin, His Majesty is the sky.

"It's the head of Guizhou. Mencius said that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least." Meng Yi pondered for a while and said, as one of the people who watched Zhao Qingrui grow up, Meng Yi is more aware of Zhao Qingrui's thoughts , she really cared about those Qianshou.

"Uncle Meng is right. The most important thing in a country is the head of Guizhou. The Minister said: The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is the foundation of the state." Zhao Qingrui talked eloquently. Many classic ideas are worth learning.

Feng Jie and the others thought that there was nothing wrong with individual citizens being lighter than the monarch.

"Both the monarch and the state can be changed, but the head of Guizhou cannot be changed. No dynasty can last forever."

Zhao Qingrui's words made a few people tremble, how could they talk about the change of dynasty, quietly looked at His Majesty above, His Majesty is not angry, it's all right.

Only Meng Yi looked calm. As one of the few people who knew that the little princess was brave, he had also seen the little princess's rebellion plan.

"There are so many Guizhou heads in the Great Qin Dynasty. If the corvee is settled with money and food, the treasury may not be able to support the consumption." His Majesty's expression did not change much, as if letting the little princess decide, Feng Quji sighed in his heart, and asked seriously road.

"Collect more food during this time and hoard it. In another month or so, the sweet potato leaves in Shanglinyuan will mature, and the current situation will definitely be greatly alleviated by then. Moreover, the seller of refined salt has been confirmed. With a steady stream of income, Feng Xiang doesn't have to worry too much." Zhao Qingrui thought about it.

Hoarding food is also Yingzheng's idea. Hoard more, and then the Huns and Yuezhi tribes can be conquered.

"I'm here today to discuss how much money and food should be given to each Guizhou head, and how to arrange corvee." Zhao Qingrui took a fancy to a few people, and she just wanted to come up with an idea, and she needed these for a detailed plan. Only professional people can do it.

"There are at least 300 million Guisou corvettes needed every year. Excluding those prisoners of war and criminals, there are more than 100 million corvees drawn from Guishou. There are so many people, counting as one person and one bucket of corn. Daqin confiscated them. The food can withstand consumption." Li Si calculated in his heart.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, a Douhe weighed 1 jins, and Zhao Qingrui's complexion was a little grim. Such a small amount of food, in modern times, would only be enough for a few meals.

"A bucket of rice is too little." Zhao Qingrui frowned.

"With silver settlement, the price of food on the market may rise again." Meng Yi said sadly.

"How much is the settlement in silver? How about a hundred Qin and a half?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Si.

"One hundred is too much, thirty Qin Banliang at most, then in the name of the court, merchants are not allowed to increase the price of grain." Li Si shook his head, knowing that the price of grain in Daqin is not high, only three Qin Banliang for a bucket of rice Two or thirty Qin Banliang is enough to buy some grain.

Zhao Qingrui pursed her lips. She knew what Li Si said was right, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Daqin's money is expensive, she didn't feel anything in Xianyang, but she could feel it when she was in Jingshui Pavilion.

When I have money in the future, the price of the mansion newspaper will drop, and a newspaper can buy a bucket of rice.

If you are not in charge, you don’t know that firewood and rice are expensive. You have to find a way to improve the economy of Daqin. Money must flow to be money.

She wanted to do something for Qianshou, but she couldn't do it.
