Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 137

In the hot weather outside, the leaders of Guizhou are also worried. What if there is a drought this year and there is no harvest?
"Go and call Zhang Cang over." Zhao Qingrui said to the maid beside her.

Zhang Cang is Zhu Xiashi, a member of the Yin Yang family, so he should be able to see some changes in the weather, Zhao Qingrui thought.

At this moment, Zhang Cang has not defected to follow Liu Bang. With her, he has no chance.

When Zhang Cang was called over, he was still a little puzzled.

Looking at the fat Zhang Cang, Zhao Qingrui's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of the description of Zhang Cang in history: "Cang sits in the law and should be beheaded. He undresses and hides his body. He grows up and is as fat and white as a gourd. When the king's tomb saw him and blamed him for his beauty, he said that he should be pardoned and not beheaded." (""" Hanshu Volume 96")
Compare it with the Zhang Cang she sees now, history is not deceiving me, she is indeed fat, but she is not beautiful at all, maybe she has different aesthetics from people of this era.

This person is good at arithmetic, and he is also in the same school as Li Si. He had such a high achievement in the Han Dynasty. During his time as a censor in the Qin Dynasty, his access to all the books of the Great Qin Dynasty has a great relationship.

"Your Highness asked the minister to come over, why?" Zhang Cang bowed and said, as Zhao Qingrui's prestige in the court gradually increased, they also looked down on her from the beginning, and now they are respectful.

"Don't be too polite, I heard that you are good at arithmetic and also proficient in calendar?" Zhao Qingrui asked calmly.

"Slightly understand, does Your Highness want to calculate the calendar?" Zhang Cang asked doubtfully.

"Then are you good at reading the sky and the weather?" Zhao Qingrui asked, people from the Yin Yang family should be able to read the weather forecast, right?

"Slightly understand." Zhang Cang said modestly.

"The weather in Daqin is relatively hot recently, and some places haven't had rain for more than a month. You can calculate when it will rain and whether there are any disasters such as drought." Zhao Qingrui's face is serious.

"Yes, but I need some time." Zhang Cang also became serious, this is indeed a big deal.

"How long?" It's fine, just to see what this guy is capable of.

"Three days." After thinking for a while, Zhang Cang said seriously.

"In this case, please send the memorial book within three days."

"No." Zhang Cang said respectfully, and then backed out.

After Zhang Cang left, Zhao Qingrui went back to her palace and asked the cook to prepare delicious food for her.

In Xuanyi Palace, Shang Lian came to Zhao Qingrui.

"Your Highness, this is the matter of Jingshui Pavilion during this period, please review it." Shang Lian carried a pile of account books and some information books over.

"There are still so many things to do." Zhao Qingrui lay down on the stone table all of a sudden, and she lost all energy.

However, I still picked up these things and looked at them. Jingshui Pavilion is her territory, and no mistakes can be made.

Liu Changfeng sorted out the ledgers without any problems.

Seeing something related to Han Xin, Zhao Qingrui quickly sat upright and almost forgot about Han Xin.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Zhao Qingrui smiled unconsciously. Han Xin had learned almost everything Zhao Wen taught, and now he needed to go to actual combat.

Asking Shang Lian to bring a pen and paper, Zhao Qingrui wrote two letters and sent them out.

One was given to Liu Changfeng, asking him to arrange for Han Xin to go to Shangjun, and some were for Jingshui Pavilion.

The other letter was given to Chu Yan, asking him to bring Han Xin with him so that he could avoid detours.

"Your Highness, there are too many people at the Miscellaneous House. We are the only ones who go to class, and there are still too few people." Shang Lian put away the account books and talked about the difficulties encountered during the class.

"Let's get some people over from the Jingshui Pavilion." Zhao Qingrui murmured, the lectures at the Miscellaneous House, many people from all schools of thought were very interested, and they all came to attend the lectures, which also made the space there a bit insufficient , too crowded.

During this period of time, the cement made by the local method has been produced, and the red bricks have also been fired, and the construction of the Dibao has already started.

Or, let people rebuild Zajia?
Are miscellaneous people rich?Do you want to pay for them to build it yourself?That won't work, you can't open this head.

Forget it, let's make do with it first, and then transfer the place where they have classes to the school when the school is built later.

After arranging this pile of chores, the delicious food cooked by the cook will be served.

Two days ago, Zhao Qingrui had someone catch a lot of shrimp and crabs, and now they are finally ready to eat, including shrimp roe noodles, garlic prawns, marinated shrimp, boiled shrimp, and crab roe buns.

"Brother Jianglu, sit down quickly, sister Yinman, sit next to me." Zhao Qingrui called Jianglu and the three of them, Young Master Gao, and Yinman to eat together.

As for the father, he was not allowed to eat, but let him continue to lose weight, and Zhao Gao kept an eye on him by the way.

"What is this? How do you eat it?" The smell was so delicious that several people swallowed unconsciously, but they didn't know how to eat these things.

"It's simple, I'll teach you." Zhao Qingrui smiled. There is no pepper here, and she feels a little regretful. Otherwise, she would have to make a table full of spicy food, which would be enjoyable.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that peppers were introduced into the country, and the desire to go to sea was once again ready to move.

With Zhao Qingrui's teaching, the brothers and sisters got together very quickly.

"Wow, delicious." The smell of garlic shrimp made Yin Man's eyes shine.

"Where did these shrimps and crabs come from?" Jiang Lu also asked, and then asked someone to learn from my younger sister, this food is too delicious.

"There are rivers, and there are many delicious foods in the sea. I will take you to taste them when the father is on a tour." Zhao Qingrui kept moving her hands, she really likes these things.

"Can we also go when the father is on tour?" Jiang Lu asked expectantly. In the past, the father would only take two or three out.

"I'll go and talk to my father." Zhao Qingrui directly took over the matter.

The scheduled tour is in October, and there are still three months left, and Zhao Qingrui is already preparing.

"Thank you, little sister." Jiang Lu and the others said excitedly, they haven't gone out with them yet, and they basically took Hu Hai and Yin Man with them in the past.

"Little sister, what's delicious in the sea?" Yin Man asked expectantly.

The little girl knows too many things, all of which make Yinman very interested.

"There are many kinds of creatures in the sea, and most of them are edible. For example, there are various sea vegetables in plants. These vegetables can be used for stewing soup and cold salad. There are many ways to eat them, and there are even more animals." Zhao Qingrui Slowly speaking, she has been to the beach and has a general understanding of these things, so it is enough to tell Yin Man and the others.

Following Zhao Qingrui's description, everyone stopped, with anticipation on their faces, wishing they could follow Zhao Qingrui to the beach and eat all these beautiful things.

"Is there really so much delicious food? If so, why are there no such things that people from the coast brought up as tribute?" Jiang Lu couldn't help being speechless. According to what the younger sister said, there is a huge treasure house in the sea.
