"That makes sense. You can discuss it with Feng Quji and the others and come up with a set of rules." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and then handed this important task to Zhao Qingrui.

Zhao Qingrui: ...

"Let's go and take a look at these people's exams." Ying Zheng chuckled.

When they arrived at the examination hall, the candidates were divided into several palaces for the exam, and the Qilin Palace was simply not enough.

Gao Zai's father's territory is big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange for so many people.

The father and daughter walked in the examination room, scanning the candidates one by one.

Suddenly, when Zhao Qingrui saw a young woman, surprise flashed in his eyes.

She had seen this woman before, and Yin Man had saved her two years ago.

This person was Liu Bang's wife, Lu Zhi, who actually came to take the exam.

Before, my father sent people to deal with Liu Bang, but he only captured Liu Bang and did not care about his wife, son, parents and brothers.

After Liu Bang was captured, Lu Zhi brought Liu Fei to Xianyang to make a living.

Last year, I even paid back all the money I owed her, but I didn't expect that she would come to take the official assessment.

"Is there something wrong with that woman?" Ying Zheng asked doubtfully after noticing his daughter's abnormality and walking out of the examination room.

"That woman is Liu Bang's wife." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"Should we cancel her qualification for the exam?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Liu Bang was still building the Great Wall in Shangjun at this time. He was very wary of Liu Bang and had someone keep an eye on him.

"No need. She doesn't have that much affection for Liu Bang at the moment." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. A young girl married a middle-aged man with a baby, and directly married him to be a stepmother. It would be strange if Lu Zhi could be happy in her heart.

As for Lu Zhi's ability, Zhao Qingrui touched his chin. She is a ruthless person.

"Then what do you want to do?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui curiously.

"If she passes the exam, I'd like to see how high she can climb. There aren't many talented people available in the court." Zhao Qingrui wanted to use Lu Zhi for his own purposes.

"Then you arrange it." Ying Zheng nodded. The affairs of the court still depended on Zhao Qingrui, and he also believed in her ability to control people.

No longer caring about Lu Zhi's affairs, the father and daughter continued to inspect other examination halls.

The emperor and the crown prince's inspection of the examination hall shocked many people, and some were shocked and nervous.

In addition to the inspections by Ying Zheng and Zhao Qingrui, there were also several invigilating officials patrolling back and forth in each examination room to prevent cheating.

The examination system is still not perfect and can only be revised slowly.

Thinking about the situation of Daqin, in the eyes of outsiders, Daqin is now more powerful than ever before.

However, in her eyes, the system is still imperfect, the basic conditions of Daqin are backward, and there is a lack of institutional departments.

The official system of the Qin Dynasty is still too general and needs to be further refined.

After a round, seeing his daughter with a sad face, Ying Zheng looked at her puzzledly. What was this girl thinking about?

"What are you thinking about? Frowning at such a young age is not a good habit." Ying Zheng asked with concern.

"I'm thinking about how to modify the official system of the Qin Dynasty. Many official positions are too general, some positions have too much power, and the officials are not capable enough. In the court..." Zhao Qingrui slowly expressed his thoughts.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment. "Make the changes gradually. If you change everything at once, the court won't be able to adapt to it in a short time, and it might even cause unrest. The nobles won't allow you to make such a big change to those positions."

"This is the only way. I would like to build the Qin Dynasty into the prosperous dynasty in my mind, but unfortunately reality does not allow it." Zhao Qingrui said with sympathy.

Ying Zheng was satisfied that his daughter was not a pedantic person but was smart and flexible.

The proportion of women in this assessment has increased significantly compared to the previous two years. The women who passed the exam in the previous two years have all obtained good positions, which has also had a significant impact on other women.

Moreover, Zhao Qingrui's becoming the crown prince also invisibly improved the status of women.

Of course, the number of women taking the exam was still not large, and there were not many women who were truly knowledgeable.

There is nothing that can be done about it, but Zhao Qingrui is already very satisfied with the current situation.

After the viewing, the father and daughter went to see the construction of the East Palace.

At the construction site, countless laborers were carrying materials, and the construction of the East Palace was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Stones, wood, cement, etc. were sent to the Middle East Palace, and these people were still laying the foundation.

"Greetings to His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The Minister of Works said respectfully.

"No need for the formalities." Ying Zheng glanced at him, then continued to look at the palace under construction.

The Minister of Works was a little nervous. Ying Zheng and Zhao Qingrui had already seen the blueprints of the palace and knew what it would look like.

This was the first time that cement was used in the palace's buildings. This was also Zhao Qingrui's request. She wanted her own residence to be brighter and didn't want to have to light lamps to work in the palace.

"It's really nice to build a palace like this. When I have money in the future, I will build the palace I live in according to your East Palace." Ying Zheng said with emotion, and suddenly felt that the Afang Palace was not so attractive anymore.

"Okay, then I'll get the best architectural blueprint for father and make sure he lives happily here." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"Well, you are worthy of being my daughter. Your filial piety is commendable." Ying Zheng smiled happily. He was naturally happy that his daughter always thought of him.

After visiting the East Palace which was still under construction, the father and daughter went to the Zhongzhangtai Palace. There was no court meeting today, but there were still many memorials submitted.

"Father, how about taking these things to Shangjun?" Zhao Qingrui handed the booklet prepared by Li Xin to his father.

And she was looking through the roster of new recruits.

The roster records the recruit's name, place of origin, criminal record, and brief information about his or her ancestors for two generations.

Looking at the strange names on it, some of whom didn't even have a surname, Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

He rubbed his eyebrows and thought that this was not easy to manage.

What was sent to Shangjun was not only food and fodder, but also a lot of newly manufactured weapons. The baggage train had a heavy task.

The baggage train went ahead. With so many things, the journey to Shangjun is not short, and there is no room for accidents.

"I don't know if Li You has returned?" Ying Zheng murmured to himself. Li You is the eldest son of the left prime minister Li Si and a rare military talent.

"Send Li Xin to Zhangtai Palace." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said.

"What are your instructions, Your Majesty?" When Li Xin arrived at Zhangtai Palace, he saw His Majesty looking at the baggage, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the list of new recruits. Both father and daughter looked a little unhappy. Li Xin trembled and asked cautiously.

"The baggage issue is of great importance. I order you to personally lead 20,000 people to escort the baggage to Shangjun. The new recruits going to Shangjun will be led by Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County." Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin seriously. These were all his capital for conquering the Huns, and no mistakes were allowed.
