Transmigrating to Great Qin, Zhao Qingrui found herself with land and money at home, and a cheat system. To avoid becoming cannon fodder in chaotic times, she brought her father to recruit soldiers...
"Are you thinking about your father or your husband?" Zhao Qingrui asked happily.
"Be serious, I can't think about everything." Yin Man gave Zhao Qingrui a cold look, and her face turned red instantly.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this sister, she’s so shameless.
Alas, I don’t know whether it is good or bad for my sister to be like this.
"Yes, yes, yes. Meng Yang has made a great contribution this time. When the time comes to reward him, he will definitely be promoted again." Zhao Qingrui joked.
She had already learned from her father that Meng Yang had performed well in this expedition against the Huns and had not brought disgrace upon the Meng family.
"This is what he should do." Yin Man felt a little embarrassed.
"After this campaign, Daqin will need to recuperate for a few years. Given how much my father loves you, Meng Yang should be transferred back by then. What are your plans, sister?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Yin Man.
"Plans? No plans. I'm basically busy with the official newspaper and the skin care workshop. I don't have any other plans." Yin Man asked in confusion.
"Father will be back by then. I have been the regent for so long. When father comes back, I will hand over the power to him. Sister, do you want to go out for a walk? Let Meng Yang be your guard then, so you don't have to be separated." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhao Qingrui eagerly.
"Go for a walk? Where to?" Yin Man was confused for a moment and looked at her in confusion.
"Go out to sea, I want to go out and see the world." Zhao Qingrui said expectantly. Ever since her father passed away, she has been confined to Xianyang and it is inconvenient for her to go anywhere.
Judging from what my father said, he will probably abdicate the throne to her in a few years. While my father is still the emperor and I am still the prince, it would be better for me to go out more often, otherwise I will have no time to go out and play in the future.
Yin Man's mouth twitched. "The sea is so dangerous, are you sure? Father will definitely not let you run around, so you'd better give up on this idea."
"I will convince my father. He dotes on me so much and knows my abilities. He will definitely not interfere." Zhao Qingrui was very confident.
She saw her father's preference for her, and she believed that her father would let her have fun for a few years.
Looking at her sister's confident look, Yin Man couldn't bear to hit her. She was the crown prince, second only to the emperor, and her father would not let her take risks.
"Okay, if you can convince father, you can go out and play." Yin Man said calmly. Anyway, this matter will definitely not succeed, so there is no need to worry about it and let her sister do it.
-----------------
The Huns were defeated and prisoners of war began to be sent back to Xianyang.
Various problems followed.
There are still some surrendered Huns outside the Great Wall who need to be governed. The Hun tribes, together with the areas of the countries in the Western Regions, are larger than the entire Qin Dynasty.
However, the situation there is either grassland or desert, and these places are not suitable for growing crops from the Central Plains, so there are a lot of problems.
"Everyone, now that father has conquered the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Donghu and the countries in the Western Regions, General Meng Tian and his men will stay to take charge temporarily. It's time to come up with a set of regulations for the management of these places. We should draft a set of regulations in the next two days, including which counties should be set up and how they should be divided." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
The division of these counties is also a headache. She wants to change them according to modern names so that it will be more convenient for her to manage them in the future without having to remember them again.
"Your Highness, this is such a large area, but it is sparsely populated and not suitable for growing crops from the Central Plains. You can set up fewer counties." Li Si looked at the big map and felt a headache.
He never had such a headache when he conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world.
"Potatoes are suitable for growing in these places. I will send some farmers there and ask them to study what is suitable to grow in these places. Planting only potatoes is too monotonous. It can only be used to solve the urgent problem." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"If there were potatoes, the grassland would be more useful and could provide more war horses for our Great Qin." Feng Quji thought this was a good thing.
It's not that nothing grows there. The potatoes that Zhao Qingrui mentioned can also grow in these places. Even if nothing grows there, as long as they can raise countless war horses for the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains can also support these places.
With high-yield grain, Feng Quji now has more ideas.
Without having to worry about starving to death, the Qin Dynasty can do more.
Zhao Qingrui and Feng Quji had the same idea. Since steam engines and internal combustion engines had not yet been developed, war horses were important strategic materials and the imperial court attached great importance to them.
"Even if Your Majesty kills most of those barbarians, can our Great Qin really afford to support such a large population? Moreover, there are so many prisoners of war, which will be an even greater burden on our Great Qin." Zhou Yan stood up and said with some pessimism.
"What Zhou Pushe said is wrong. With the war over, Daqin has entered a period of recuperation. There is no need to supply large amounts of food and various materials to the border. The consumption has been reduced a lot, and Daqin can still sustain itself." Someone stood up to object.
"Yes, we can graze sheep, raise cattle and horses on the grassland. These are livestock that are in short supply in our Great Qin. We can't just abandon such a large grassland." Shusun Tong also stood up.
Everyone knows the importance of war horses and cattle and sheep.
The biggest problem is food consumption and border garrison issues.
"General Meng and his men are currently surveying the border. There are many problems along the border. I wonder if the troops being transferred from the Great Wall will be enough."
“It’s also a problem to recalculate the borders and measure the lands of these tribes.”
