I Bring a System to Flirt with the First Emperor and Build Infrastructure

Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...

Chapter 30 Solution

After the court session, the King of Zhao did not go back directly, but went to the back to find Ying Zheng.

There were some things she hadn't finished saying in the court just now, but it had nothing to do with those ministers anyway, so she could just talk to Ying Zheng directly.

Ying Zheng was waiting in the room and was not surprised that she would come over at this time.

"You've offended a lot of people on your first day in office."

Ying Zheng spoke so calmly that it actually felt like a joke.

"No, I have the King. As long as the King supports me, why would I worry about offending anyone?"

Zhao Jun did not forget to compliment his boss.

"Well, that's a good point."

Ying Zheng was very happy when he heard her words.

Ying Zheng actually likes people praising him, and this has been seen through by Zhao Jun.

He was only happy for a second before he thought of something and his face suddenly darkened.

"What you mentioned today is that I didn't pay enough attention before, and some people took advantage of it. This time, I allow you to investigate them thoroughly."

Seeing how angry he was, Zhao Jun quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, and so many military affairs to attend to, so it's understandable that he wasn't paying attention for a while. Besides, it wasn't a big mess." She comforted him, intending to give Ying Zheng some face.

But who would have thought...

"Needless to say, this is my problem. It seems that I still have to be more strict!" Ying Zheng said hatefully.

Zhao Jun was speechless.

It seems that he is really an absolute perfectionist, no wonder he is so competitive.

"Uh, haha, Your Majesty is really strict with yourself." Zhao Jun faked a smile and then immediately changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, there's one thing I didn't mention in court just now, and it's mainly about the signatures for the various counties."

This is also a problem that Zhao Jun discovered yesterday.

"What's wrong?"

"Look, now the counties have to go to the Imperial Household Department to receive their payments, and it's very inconvenient to have to go back and forth every month. How about this? I'll distribute the payments every six months based on the average demand of the counties in the past. I'll have the county governor, county lieutenant, and supervisory censor sign off on it. The Imperial Household Department will review the accounts every six months and hold those directly accountable if any problems are found. This way, we can avoid the monthly travel expenses."

The King of Zhao felt that some autonomy should be given to local counties. Otherwise, if all the counties came here every month, when the territory of Qin State became larger, the Neishi Mansion would be extremely busy.

"Of course, it's possible, but we need to do a good job of monitoring. After all, the counties are far away from Xianyang."

Ying Zheng had no objection, and he didn't think anyone would dare to encroach on it, but he still wanted to give a reminder.

"Yes, my king, I will supervise it."

At this point, the problems that Zhao Jun summarized last night have basically been solved.

In fact, the more important thing is that she saw Ying Zheng’s attitude from this incident.

This way, she could do things more freely in the future without having to report everything to Ying Zheng.

Zhao Jun came out of the palace feeling relaxed. Just as she was about to go directly to the Nei Shi Mansion, she happened to see Sun Cheng standing beside her.

Oh, this is a good opportunity to ask about Sun Cheng’s room, she thought.

"Eunuch Sun, I have something to ask you." She walked over and patted Sun Cheng on the shoulder.

"Oh, Master Zhao, you're joking. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

Sun Cheng smiled brightly. He saw with his own eyes how Zhao Jun suddenly reached this position. Of course he had to curry favor with such a person.

"It's like this. I'm still living in the small courtyard you arranged for me before. It's two people in a room, and I think it's a bit inconvenient. Do you think I can have a house of my own now with my official position?" she said.

"Oh, I actually forgot about that. Of course, of course you have to live on your own."

Sun Cheng hurriedly said that with her official position, the emperor should have given her a courtyard in Xianyang City long ago, but he didn't say it. He thought about it and replied.

"You will definitely live alone, but I may need to ask the king for his opinion on the specific location. Once I have made arrangements, I will send someone to notify you."

"Okay, no problem. You ask the king. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." She was not in a hurry. She just mentioned it casually and decided to wait for a few days.

Then she went straight to the Nei Shi Mansion, after all, there was still a lot to do next.

As expected, Zhao Jun was busy day and night for three days, going out early and coming back late every day, and was so busy that he had no time to rest.

Ying Zheng had previously said that she could go whenever she wanted.

It's all bullshit!

After sorting out the last bamboo slip, Zhao Jun finally collapsed on the table.

"Sir, you have worked hard these past few days. With your arrival, we have a backbone."

Tukang changed his previous decadence and became full of energy as if he was ten years younger.

Zhao Jun didn't understand why Tu Kang, who went out early and came back late every day just like him, even left later than him, and did as much work as him, seemed to be getting more and more energetic, while he himself was exhausted.

Is this the method of spiritual victory? When you are in a good mood, you don’t feel tired?

"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. Without those frustrating debt collectors, I feel like I've been reborn. I have everything to thank you for, sir!"

Tukang said excitedly, changing his previous dullness.

"Haha, you're welcome." Zhao Jun smiled tiredly.

Tu Kang was not a tactless person. He saw that Zhao Jun was very tired. Besides, the previous sorting work was basically finished, so he said to her.

"Sir, we can take care of the remaining cleanup. You can go back and rest first."

Zhao Jun had wanted to rest for a long time, but she was holding her breath because she hadn't finished her previous work. Now that it was almost over, she no longer refused.

Zhao Jun finally got off work early and hurriedly got on the carriage back home.

Tukang and his clerks watched her leave.

"Lord Zhao is truly a rare good official!" Tu Kang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of emotion.

And the rare good official had already fallen into a deep sleep in the house.

Zhao Jun slept very comfortably, and it was dark when she woke up.

She rarely stayed in bed and stretched her arms lazily.

It seems that no matter what time it is, work is the most tiring.

Zhao Jun felt that she had become tired and thinner these days.

She also felt that she couldn't escape the fate of being a worker no matter where she was.

"Um, are you done?"

Suddenly, something that hadn't spoken for a long time spoke.

Zhao Jun had just woken up and was in a daze. He couldn't remember who was talking for a moment.

It took her a few seconds to realize that it was a mirror!

She has been too busy recently and hasn't talked to the mirror for a while.

"Mirror, mirror, I feel like you haven't spoken for a long time. I'm done with my work, let's have a good chat."

Zhao Jun said easily.

"You're done with your work, right? That's good. I have some good news to tell you. I've been holding it in for a few days."

Mirror said this with a slightly excited tone.

"Good news, what good news?" Zhao Jun didn't react.

"Tsk, what other good news could there be? Of course it's the contribution value. Your contribution value is over a thousand!"

"What? It's already over a thousand!"
