"If you find it, dig it up and plant it on the farm?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.

Zhao Qingrui shook her head. "No, the climate in Xianyang isn't suitable for growing rubber trees. Lingnan is more suitable."

"Oh, I see. I remember when the tax was distributed based on the amount of land, there were few people in Lingnan and a lot of land had not yet been distributed." Ying Zheng felt a little regretful.

"You don't need fields to plant rubber trees. There should be quite a few mountains over there. You can plant them on the mountains when the time comes. Once you find them, I'll come up with a detailed planting method and a way to tap the rubber." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

Lingnan is too big, and not even half of the land has been distributed. Except for the land that has been rented out, the remaining land has been used to grow a lot of crops under the order of the court. A part of it has been left for Lingnan as military rations, and the rest has been transported to Xianyang.

"However, you said that Zhang Han has the talent of a military commander. I would like to transfer him to Shangjun and let him participate in the attack on the Huns." Ying Zheng touched his chin. He also valued military affairs more in his heart and was more eager for military generals.

"Father, that's enough. Look at how many generals you have transferred to Shangjun, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li, Li Xin, and Li You. This lineup is so luxurious. Just sending two of them can crush the Huns." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly.

After hearing his daughter's words, Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed. "Ahem, Great Qin hasn't fought a war in many years. These generals have submitted many memorials, all wanting to go. Besides, this is the first step for my Great Qin to dominate the world. We must win."

"Well, a good start is indeed important, otherwise you wouldn't have gone through so much trouble." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

As the end of the year approached, more and more grain was sent back to Xianyang, and the court expanded several granaries, but they were still not enough.

Su Ling came to request the expansion of the granary again, and Zhao Qingrui was shocked. This was too much.

In order to improve the situation of the national treasury, Zhao Qingrui directly gave Wang Xian a book on how to make various grain by-products and asked her to build a factory. These grains would definitely not be sold directly, and the price of grain dropped a lot.

Although the imperial court has been trying to suppress the decline in grain prices, grain prices are still falling and have not yet reached the lowest point.

Jiang Lu also came along and talked about this matter with Zhao Qingrui.

"Brother Jianglu, you should cooperate with Wang Xian during this period. Wang Xian, print some books and put them in bookstores so that more people can know about them." Zhao Qingrui thought for a while and said seriously.

She did this just to make the food on the tables of the people of Qin more abundant.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Wang Xian nodded seriously.

After seeing off Wang Xian and the others, Zhao Qingrui met with the Minister of Works.

The construction of her East Palace was nearing completion. After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the East Palace was finally almost completed.

Zhao Qingrui was delighted and took the Minister of Works to check it out.

Zhao Qingrui hasn't paid attention to the construction of the East Palace for some time. As the end of the year approaches, there are more things to do.

He walked in slowly with his men. The solemn palace stood not far from the Xianyang Palace. According to Zhao Qingrui's preference, a very high attic was built. Going up to the attic, one could overlook Xianyang.

Although she was the only one living in the Eastern Palace, it was built very spaciously. Although she had known for a long time that she was the daughter of the First Emperor and the crown prince, and that these were what she was entitled to, she was still a little uncomfortable when she saw such a huge palace.

The palace is heavy and solemn, with Qin bricks paved layer by layer. The bedroom has cloud-top sandalwood beams, crystal jade disks as lamps, pearls as curtains, and gold molds as column bases.

The palace is surrounded by ponds, and the back garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, which are very bright and beautiful.

These were all built according to her own preferences. She had looked at the account books and knew that the cost of building this East Palace was extremely high. If the court was not short of money now, she would have prepared to put in some money herself.

"Your Highness, is there anything that needs to be revised?" the Minister of Works asked respectfully.

"No need, let's leave it like this." Zhao Qingrui shook his head. This was already very good.

After following the Minister of Works to understand the situation inside the palace, Zhao Qingrui asked the Minister of Works to complete the work here.

"Come to Zhangtai Palace tomorrow afternoon. I have something to discuss with you." There are still things to do. Zhao Qingrui is not very anxious about the East Palace. It is his father who is anxious.

"Yes." Although the Minister of Works had some doubts, he still agreed respectfully.

After returning to Xuanyi Palace, Zhao Qingrui asked Lu Zhi to give her the account book of Xuanyi Palace.

Looking through the account book, Zhao Qingrui had an idea.

She has no shortage of money or food, so she will ask Lu Zhi to send some food to the East Palace tomorrow.

Those who do the labor service can also be paid.

"Lü Zhi, what do you think is the appropriate reward for those prisoners of war who helped build the city?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Lü Zhi and asked.

At this moment, Wang Xian had finished get off work and was busy with the affairs of the grain factory, so there was no one to give him advice for the time being.

Seeing Lu Zhi busying around her, she immediately thought of Lu Zhi. This founding queen of the Western Han Dynasty was a ruthless person. After entering her Xuanyi Palace, her abilities were also very good, which made her value her very much.

"It is a blessing for those people to work for Your Highness. If you want to reward them, I think a dozen Qinbanliang will be enough." Lu Zhi said respectfully.

"A dozen or so? That's a bit too few." Zhao Qingrui considered it.

"Your Highness, it's not enough. If you give too much, it will make it more difficult for the Minister of Works to manage those people and make it easier for them to cause trouble." Lu Zhi said seriously.

Although there are many garrisons in Xianyang City, the number of prisoners of war is even greater. If these prisoners of war cause trouble, it will definitely be a big problem.
