"A good plan? I do have some ideas and would like you to give me some advice." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"We have post offices all over the country. I wonder what you think about this matter?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Li Si and the others.

A huge amount of money is invested in the post station every year, but it is only used to deliver official documents from various places. In Zhao Qingrui's opinion, this is a real waste.

"The post office is the most important means of transmitting information in the court. Your Highness wants to renovate the post office?" Feng Quji hesitated.

"Well, I have this idea. The Qin Dynasty invests a lot of money in the post office every year, but it is only used to deliver official documents. It is really a waste. I want the post office to be able to be used by the people of the world." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Your Highness, this is not possible. If it is used by the people, some people with ulterior motives will get their hands on official documents and intercept information, which will be extremely detrimental to the management of the Qin Dynasty." Feng Quji's face changed drastically, and he wanted Zhao Qingrui to give up this dangerous idea.

"Yes, Your Highness. If official documents and the people's belongings are mixed together, it will be detrimental to the transmission of information within the court." Li Si also had a bitter face.

"I think you two have misunderstood what I meant." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.

"Qing Rui, what do you want to do?" Ying Zheng also walked in at this time.

"Greetings, Father." Zhao Qingrui saluted quickly, and the others followed suit.

"Father, what I mean is that the postal service allows the imperial court to receive information more quickly, but it costs too much money every year. I want to divide the postal service into two parts, one dedicated to the imperial court's letters and other for the common people."

"Houses were built near post stations and provided to passing officials or common people for accommodation, charging a certain amount of money."

"Mailing things by mail does cost a certain amount of money, but it can also be convenient for the people, which is a benefit to the people." Zhao Qingrui expressed his thoughts.

The details of this matter still need to be discussed carefully with the two prime ministers.

"Your Highness, does this look like you're competing with the people for profit?" Li Si said helplessly. This prince always liked to find various ways to make money. Countless people in the court criticized her, saying that she was competing with the people for profit.

Unfortunately, no matter how much those people said, it was of no use because the father and daughter had the final say in the court, and they also had extremely high prestige among the people.

"How can I compete with the people for profit? This is clearly a policy that benefits the people. Let me do the math for you." Zhao Qingrui said confidently.

"As you can see, the lives of the common people in Daqin are getting better and better, and more people are coming to Xianyang. Merchants are the most numerous among the counties and prefectures."

"Most of the Qin Dynasty's wealth is controlled by merchants. If you just send a gift, you can get a few Qin half taels. If you send goods, you will be charged according to the weight of the goods."

"Just talking about delivering the letter, based on three Qin half liang, ten thousand people delivering the letter would amount to thirty thousand coins."

"Stay at the post station. The post station provides meals and hot water. It costs about twenty and a half taels a night. Merchants traveling around the country will inevitably choose the post station because it is safe and cheap."

"And the goods, can merchants have less? They calculate it by weight. For example, how much is less than 100 kilograms, and how much is more than 100 kilograms..."

As Zhao Qingrui spoke, the new post office appeared in front of them. If they did as she said, it would be completely feasible, and it would also reduce the burden on the court.

Several people's eyes flickered, it was indeed very promising.

Ying Zheng was also thinking that if he did as his daughter said, it would indeed ease a lot of financial pressure.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?" Ying Zheng looked at several people and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think it's worth a try. According to what Your Highness said, if it is done well, it will indeed greatly facilitate the people of the world and will not delay the delivery of official documents in the court." Li Si stepped forward first.

"Adding more convenient accommodation for the common people and providing mail delivery will require a large number of additional manpower. The court is already short of staff." Feng Quji was a little hesitant. Although this could bring some profit, it would also increase the expenses of the post office.

"There are so many people taking the exam this time. We can send them all to the grassroots level when the time comes. This way, we won't have to worry about redundant officials."

"The Qin Empire needs to function, and it needs a large number of talents. The grassroots level is a good place. If you have achievements, you can climb up more easily." Zhao Qingrui personally poured a cup of tea for his father.

She didn’t know how profitable the express delivery industry was in her previous life, but they definitely didn’t lose money.

You can move to Daqin and try it. The official express delivery can also make the people more trustful.

"In that case, let's give it a try." Feng Quji no longer insisted. He also felt that it was worth a try. The Qin Dynasty's treasury could now withstand the turmoil.

"To implement this, we need to build a large number of post offices, and I plan to contract the construction tasks out to businessmen to build them into buildings." Zhao Qingrui talked about his plan.

"How much money should the court pay? The court needs to keep enough money for the salaries of all officials and military pay, and there must also be a portion in reserve. There is not much money available." After silently calculating the account, Feng Quji said seriously.

"When contracting out to those merchants, the court will give them some benefits, such as allowing them to advertise in post offices, or exempting them from certain business taxes. I believe many people will be tempted." Zhao Qingrui pondered for a while. The court did not have much money that could be mobilized at will.

"Your Highness, this is a good idea. This way, the court won't have to spend so much money." Feng Jie agreed. As long as they gave up some of their profits, those businessmen would only make more.

"What do you think, father?" Zhao Qingrui looked at his father expectantly.

"Not bad, just go for it." These words also represent Ying Zheng's support for Zhao Qingrui.

With Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Qingrui immediately relaxed and decided to get started.

"The allocation of personnel needed in the post station, how much it will cost to deliver letters, how much it will cost for accommodation, and how much profit to give up, all of this requires you to make a detailed plan." Zhao Qingrui looked relaxed and handed these chores over to a few people.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will definitely plan all these things." Feng Quji and others said respectfully. If it is done well, it will be a great achievement and they may be recorded in history in the future.

They have already reached the highest position in the country, and what they seek now is fame.

Following Zhao Qingrui gave them hope. Under her orders, Daqin was undergoing tremendous changes rapidly and was becoming prosperous bit by bit.

Seeing them agree, Zhao Qingrui looked at these people and felt very emotional.

Under the current circumstances, we cannot directly copy various modern systems. However, the existing bloated institutions of the Qin Dynasty can be improved. We can try to introduce the cabinet system.

After seeing them off, Zhao Qingrui followed his father to Xuanyi Palace for dinner.

"I saw that you were absent-minded just now. What were you thinking about?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui and asked.
