Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

"Ten and a half taels is not a lot." Li Si had no choice but to think that His Highness could not see the money in the national treasury.

Last year, the manpower reached a record high. With wages raised this year, more people are willing to serve corvee. This is a great burden on the country.

The money of Daqin is expensive, and the purchasing power of ten Qinbanliang is quite considerable.

"I know, but we have come all the way, and Li Xiang has also seen that the life in Qianshou is not good." Zhao Qingrui sighed softly. She also wanted to save more money, but she couldn't save much at all.

Now Daqin's income comes from other than taxation, which is the income from salt. Other places have just started to make profits, and they don't actually earn much.

But the national treasury consumes a lot. Apart from the salaries of officials, the most expensive buildings are the buildings built by Daqin today, such as the Great Wall, the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Afang Palace.

Another biggest thing is the manufacture of military weapons.

Dad wanted to expand outward, and Daqin's army had been preparing for war since the beginning of the year.

The consumption of war on a country is also very huge. In the treasury, there is actually not much money saved.

Thinking of her father, she was such a prodigal, if it wasn't for her father, she would have scolded him.

Dad doesn't know how to make money, but his ability to spend money is first-class, which is really enough.

Li Si didn't know what Zhao Qingrui was thinking.

"Your Highness, thirty Qin and half liang every year is already a great favor to the head of Guizhou." Li Si said seriously.

"In the current situation, Your Highness also knows that there are many places where Daqin needs money. Your Highness is thinking about the head of Guizhou. I admire you very much. I can't do this step even if I ask myself. Your Highness has already proposed so many policies to benefit the people. It only takes a few years. With time, life in Qianshou will gradually improve, Your Highness, don't worry." Li Si advised.

Daqin not only has Guishou, but many of the policies proposed by Zhao Qingrui have already been applied to those Guishous. In just two or three years, Guishou's life will definitely improve.

In his opinion, Zhao Qingrui was just too impatient.

In the end, Zhao Qingrui compromised. She knew that Li Si was right, and she was really impatient.

Life in Qianshou has actually improved a lot.

Along the way, she heard a lot of support from the head of Guizhou for Daqin.

After making notes on the memorial, Zhao Qingrui began to discuss with Li Si the matter of the Peacock Dynasty.

The small fights in the past are not counted, but now that we want to trade with Daqin, we need to come up with a charter for many things.

She will return to Xianyang soon, and she will have to discuss this matter with Feng Quji and the others. Before that, she hopes to have a general strategy.

"His Highness knows about the Maurya Dynasty, where did the news come from?" Li Si asked curiously.

For more than a year, he has not been unaware that this little princess knows a lot of strange things.

Curious in his heart, he didn't want to ask more questions when His Majesty was around, but now only Zhao Qingrui was around, so he couldn't help asking.

Zhao Qingrui was silent for two seconds. Sure enough, Li Si must have noticed his abnormality long ago.

Fortunately, her father is Emperor Shihuang, otherwise these things would definitely bring her endless troubles.

"My master told me that he traveled in the clouds, and he knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom." Zhao Qingrui didn't have any psychological burden to drag out the unwarranted master again.

"I don't know who is His Highness's master?" Li Si raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't heard Zhao Qingrui mention this matter.

"I don't know who he is. He taught me before and left." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

"That's a pity. It would be great if such a capable person could meet once." Li Si said regretfully.

As for whether he really thought so, Zhao Qingrui didn't know.

"Let's talk about the Peacock Dynasty. Does Li Xiang have any good ideas? Although our Daqin is far away from the Maurya Dynasty, but the father wants to expand now, and the Maurya Dynasty is also in the conquest."

"They can come to Daqin by boat for trade. There is no war yet, and we can also trade and earn more things that are beneficial to Daqin from them." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

Now the tyranny of the king of the Maurya Dynasty, Sari Shuka, is an opportunity for Daqin.

"I don't know what specialty they have? Is it good for me, Daqin?" Li Si asked curiously.

"I don't know much about that." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. She doesn't know much about these foreign histories, and these histories are so long that there are not many records left.

Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui seriously, and after confirming that she really didn't know, he also gave up.

Since Zhao Qingrui doesn't know about it, let people go and find out more about the Maurya Dynasty.

"I, Daqin, are not very good at going to sea. If I want to trade with them, it may not be so easy." Li Si pondered for a while and said.

"Father has blueprints for various ships. As long as you have money and a shipbuilder, it is not difficult to build them." Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of the blueprints of Zheng He's treasure ships that he had exchanged.

Li Si: "..." Where did His Majesty get the blueprint?How could he not know the situation of Daqin's shipbuilding industry? Seeing the confident look of the little princess, Li Si suspected that the blueprint was related to Zhao Qingrui.

"Your Majesty has the blueprint of a sea-going ship? Even if there is a sea-going ship, there are not many people involved in my Daqin's sea voyage."

"I know that these can be cultivated slowly. As for the blueprint, it was produced by my master, and it must be stronger than Daqin's existing ships." Zhao Qingrui nodded, and what Li Si said was on point.

"It's all based on having money." Li Si sighed softly. Money is needed everywhere. Shipbuilding is not a trivial matter, and training talents for sea navigation is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

If you want to conquer overseas, at least not yet.

Zhao Qingrui also knew what Li Si was thinking.

When money was mentioned, Zhao Qingrui and Li Si stared at each other. Daqin really couldn't come up with more money.

The imperial mausoleum is almost finished now, and the construction of the Afang Palace is not known when it will be completed, and the Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty. At least when she is alive, the construction of the Great Wall will not stop.

Of course, if the Great Qin ruled the world, the Great Wall can also be stopped. By then, the whole world will belong to the Great Qin, and the construction of the Great Wall will not make much sense.

It is too early to say these things now, the Great Wall has to continue to be built, and it is impossible to stop.

Money is needed everywhere, and the money in the Daqin treasury can't stand the toss at all.

"Money, how can I make more money?" Zhao Qingrui sighed, she wanted to mint coins directly, but once she did, Qin Banliang would be worthless.
