"Let them come in directly." He put down the book in his hand. The fighting scenes in the novels made his heart surge.

Now that my good daughter is here, and even Li Si and Feng Quji are here with her, it must be no small matter.

"Why is Qingrui here? What trouble did you encounter? I will go and settle it for you." Ying Zheng asked with concern.

Feng Quji and Li Si lowered their heads, their lips twitching. Who would dare to cause trouble for this little ancestor? It would be better if she didn't bother them.

"It's not a big deal. It's just the matter of rebuilding Xianyang. I, the son, and the two prime ministers have almost finished discussing it, and I want to ask your father to come up with the idea." Zhao Qingrui walked over and massaged Ying Zheng's shoulders attentively.

I glanced at the covered books on the table. My father seemed to be living a very comfortable life. I was very envious.

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Li Si, who was standing below, also looked at the desk. His Majesty was actually reading in Wangyi Palace.

It's not that Your Majesty didn't read in the past, it's just that you read less.

Before Zhao Qingrui came back, all the books in the court were bamboo slips, even the memorials were bamboo slips, so it was difficult to read.

Since paper was invented, all kinds of books have been printed directly on paper, which makes reading much more convenient.

Even he has copied all the books in his study, and replaced the books he reads on a daily basis with paper copies.

Paper books quickly replaced bamboo slips, and the scholars of the Qin Dynasty adapted quite quickly.

Zhao Qingrui quickly explained his plan in detail.

Ying Zheng pondered and had to admit that his daughter's plan was very bold.

"You can give it a try. There's no rush to build a city anyway. You might as well try the palace first." Ying Zheng thought it was a good idea to support his daughter. If she could make money, it would be even better.

If you can't make money, the money will eventually have to be taken out of the national treasury anyway, so there's no harm in giving it a try.

"Father, you agreed so quickly?" Zhao Qingrui was extremely surprised.

"What else? If I don't agree, will you bother me all day long?" He glanced at Zhao Qingrui. How could he not know his daughter's temper?

"Thank you, father." Zhao Qingrui was very happy.

"Just try it. If you can't make any money and it delays my northern expedition against the Huns, I'll show you how I punish you." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare food and fodder for the army to conquer, so that you can go and conquer the world without worry." Zhao Qingrui chuckled, thinking of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty and his eldest son.

"Is it funny?" He looked at Zhao Qingrui in confusion, not understanding what she was laughing at.

"It's not funny, I just think my father is very powerful." Zhao Qingrui immediately shook his head, trying not to anger his father.

Now that I have gotten a clear path from my father, I can leave this matter to Li Si.

At present, only buildings need to be built. She discussed with Li Si and others that the reconstruction of Xianyang is not a trivial matter, so it will not be spread out for the time being.

As the notice was released, the speed of dismantling the palace and temple also increased.

"Brother Li, have you figured it out? What does it mean?" There were many businessmen in Xianyang. One of them was a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting in a restaurant. He looked at the person sitting opposite him with some curiosity.

Xianyang is now more prosperous and has attracted more businessmen. As the notice was released, it immediately attracted the attention of these businessmen.

"How dare we criticize Your Majesty?" the skinny man said hurriedly, twirling his beard.

They still remember vividly how many merchants were massacred by the imperial court at the beginning of the year, and they became even more wary of the First Emperor.

Those who disobeyed the reforms to commercial taxes and the land system now have grass ten feet high on their graves.

Only honest people like them made the right decision in time and survived.

"Brother Li, you are a little timid. His Majesty has announced that he wants to contract out all the land within 200 miles of the palace to build houses. Although I don't know His Majesty's intention, I would like to fight for it." The man touched his big belly with a smile on his face.

This is a house built for the emperor. It is a great opportunity to get close to the officials in the court. He wants to seize the opportunity.

As long as you have good relationships with people in the court, you will have no worries about making money.

Moreover, the court gave merchants a lot of conveniences for contracting to build these houses. Even business taxes were exempted for two years, and the children of the merchants could be sent to study in the schools where the princes and princesses studied.

It is the last one that makes it impossible for countless people to refuse.

That would be an opportunity to interact with those princes and princesses, it's so exciting.

After this edict was issued, not only the merchants were discussing the matter, but other nobles and common people were also discussing it, and they did not understand what Your Majesty's purpose was.

"Brother Chunyu, what do you think His Majesty wants to do? To raise the status of those merchants?" Zhou Yan looked puzzled as he drank the tea in Chunyu Yue's mansion.

"Under normal circumstances, Your Majesty would not issue such an edict." Chunyu Yue picked up the tea, which tasted mellow and fragrant. This was the tea sent by Prince Fusu, and it tasted really good.

Looking down at the teacup, Chunyu Yue had been thinking a lot during this period.

Ever since he stopped speaking ill of Zhao Qingrui in front of Prince Fusu, Fusu gradually became closer to him.

Although he felt disappointed, he knew that Fusu had completely given up fighting for that position.

However, being able to regain the respect of Prince Fusu has allowed his status in the court to rise a little during this period, and it is not as embarrassing as before.

By now, he has clearly understood his position and no longer dares to give orders to Prince Fusu.

But Zhou Yan doesn't seem to give up yet.

Zhou Yan sighed, "Your Majesty is already having people prepare for the affairs of the Imperial Household Department. Your Majesty, disregarding ancestral rules, is determined to appoint a woman as the crown prince, and isn't he afraid of being ridiculed by the world."

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth secretly. There was serious internal strife in the court. He felt that he was about to be swept out of the team. It was all because of the systems proposed by Zhao Qingrui.

Even at his age, he was forced to roll up his sleeves, and he had accumulated a lot of resentment towards Zhao Qingrui in his heart.

Chunyu Yue didn't know what was going on recently. He started to give up on the promise to resist Zhao Qingrui together.

"Lord Zhou may want to go out for a walk. Princess Qingrui enjoys a very high reputation among the people, and the new officials in the court also highly respect her. Even if His Majesty appoints a crown prince, you are the only ones who oppose it in the ancient books." Chunyu Yue said calmly.

"Brother Chunyu, what do you mean? Aren't you going to continue to resist her with us?" Zhou Yan was shocked. He said that Chunyu Yue had been acting strangely recently, and he might have been bribed by Zhao Qingrui.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan's expression kept changing and anger rose in his heart. Chunyu Yue was the backbone of their team in the resistance against Zhao Qingrui. If they didn't get his and Fusu's support, they would just be jumping clowns.
