The bulk of the money still comes from commercial taxes and land taxes from the common people, but the Qin Dynasty is developing too fast now, and this money is far from enough.

Every department in the court needs money and food, especially the weapons research department, which is simply a big money-eating beast.

The Qin Dynasty is now vigorously building schools and popularizing education. Popularizing education is where the real money is spent.

Looking at Su Ling's bitter face, Zhao Qingrui always had the illusion that she was bullying him.

"Ahem, I know this. I hope to support these projects more. I am also doing this for Daqin." Zhao Qingrui also felt aggrieved.

Now that the Xiongnu has been defeated, we are now recruiting troops and generals to attack Buyeo and Gojoseon. We will set out in a few days and will conquer Buyeo and other places as well.

To manage this vast area, the investment of money is an astronomical figure, which makes my head spin just thinking about it.

Today, the territory of the Qin Dynasty is even larger than the modern map, and she feels that she is a little overwhelmed.

Talents. Daqin needs a lot of talents, and compulsory education must be promoted as soon as possible.

If there is a shortage of manpower every year, Zhao Qingrui feels sick when thinking about such a situation.

She can endure hardship for a while, but she definitely doesn't have the patience to worry about all these trivial matters all the time.

We must train some talents quickly. My father obviously wants to give up and leave all these things to her. It's so difficult for her.

Su Ling did not make him give in much. Zhao Qingrui also knew that Su Ling was doing the right thing. The national treasury should indeed save more money and grain. If a country does not have the foundation to deal with risks, it will not be far from destruction.

I don’t have any good ideas, so I can only maintain the status quo for the time being. This feeling is so uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you these days? You seem depressed. Have you encountered any troubles?" Ying Zheng drank tea leisurely while Madam Zheng sat beside him, taking care of him.

Zhao Qingrui looked at him silently and muttered to himself, "Father really knows how to enjoy himself."

If she hadn't stopped him, he would have moved his bedroom from Xianyang Palace to Afang Palace. It was obvious that the emperor didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the court.

"What else could it be? There are so many things going on in the court, and my father has thrown them all to me. Our Great Qin is still too poor." Zhao Qingrui sighed, looking at Ying Zheng with envy.

"There's no need to rush about money. Daqin is developing fast enough now. As long as we give Daqin a few years, it will surely prosper." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"You make it sound easy, but Daqin still has many problems that need to be solved. These cannot be put aside." Zhao Qingrui rolled his eyes.

"It's not good to frown at such a young age. Drink some tea and calm down." Ying Zheng laughed and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Qingrui.

Seeing her anxious look, he thought of the time when he had just unified the six kingdoms. At that time, there were many things happening in the Qin Dynasty. Inside the Qin Dynasty, the remnants of the six kingdoms were causing all kinds of trouble. At that time, the talents available to the court were even fewer than they are now.

He survived that time, so this matter now is not difficult. The main thing is that the Qin Dynasty needs to slowly digest the conquered land and develop smoothly internally.

Zhao Qingrui took the tea, it wasn't hot, so he poured it all into his mouth in one gulp.

Seeing her chewing the peony like a cow, Ying Zheng's mouth twitched.

"Where are all the rules you learned?" Ying Zheng scolded. After appointing Zhao Qingrui as the heir, he also raised his expectations of her.

"There's no outsider here. I wouldn't act like this outside." Zhao Qingrui stuck out her tongue.

"You're such a grown-up, but still so naughty. You don't look like a crown prince at all." Ying Zheng said with a hint of disgust.

"So what? I am like this now, and people in the court respect me." Zhao Qingrui said confidently.

This is indeed the truth. Everyone saw what she did in the court, and she also enjoyed a very high reputation among the people.

This is what the people want and what everyone hopes for.

Mrs. Zheng, standing by, lowered her head with envy in her eyes. When had her son Fusu ever been so close to His Majesty?

When Fusu lost his position as crown prince, she felt lost and unwilling.

But she knew better that she had no right to speak about either the affairs of the previous dynasty or the affairs of the crown prince.

The sudden appearance of Zhao Qingrui greatly improved the status of women in Daqin, but the situation in the harem did not change. After all, they were all His Majesty's women, and His Majesty had the final say in everything about them.

"You, don't be proud." Ying Zheng chuckled, naturally knowing his daughter's situation.

"I don't have time to be proud. I'm not as leisurely as my father. He has beautiful women by his side, all kinds of delicious food and drinks, and he can go out and have fun." Zhao Qingrui said sarcastically.

"Angry?" Ying Zheng reflected on himself, wondering if he had gone too far and made his daughter so angry?

"No, I'm just a little annoyed. I came here just to talk about the construction matters on Yingzhou Island." Speaking of business, Zhao Qingrui also became serious.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Ying Zheng asked. The population of Daqin is still too small, and it is not the time for population migration.

"Meng Tian is going to attack Fuyu. When the time comes, let him capture more prisoners and send them all to Yingzhou Island to work." Zhao Qingrui gritted his teeth.

Population growth takes time, and it cannot be rushed.

"That's no problem." Ying Zheng nodded, but the number of prisoners of war was too large, and the cost to the Qin Dynasty was also a considerable number.

"Also, I promised the group of people who built the new city of Xianyang that I would return their household registration to Guizhou. Where should these people be sent?" Zhao Qingrui began to feel bald.
