After dealing with Hu Ji, Zhao Qingrui was too lazy to care about this person. She couldn't cause any trouble.

Zhao Qingrui started to care about the calendar calculation again. Calculating the calendar is not an easy task, but fortunately there are many people involved and the progress is still encouraging.

A few days later, Zhao Qingrui received the gift sent back by Ying Zheng.

Zhao Qingrui asked someone to share these things with his brothers and sisters.

"Uncle Meng, do you think our father is having a leisurely time these days?" Zhao Qingrui put the memorial in the eunuch's hands and asked him to pass it on.

"Your Majesty, you are now the king of the Qin Dynasty. You can just call me by my name." Meng Yi said helplessly.

"I'm used to it. You watched me grow up, so there's nothing wrong with calling you uncle." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

Ever since Meng Yi took charge of the Ministry of Justice, he has become even busier.

Although Daqin became more and more prosperous, there were more criminals.

Fortunately, the imperial court was strong enough, and those criminal acts did not cause any unrest.

"The Emperor and his entourage are going on a cruise to Yingzhou Island. They should still be at sea. Life at sea is very boring. Your Majesty, there is no need to envy them." Meng Yi knew Zhao Qingrui's personality.

"What do you think about me going out to tour the grasslands?" Zhao Qingrui touched his chin, considering the feasibility of this matter.

"Your Majesty, this is not possible. The tour is not a trivial matter. We need to discuss it with the court officials before making a decision." Meng Yi said hurriedly, fearing that Zhao Qingrui would act recklessly.

"I know, I know. As long as I propose it, I'm afraid many people will oppose it." Zhao Qingrui knew it.

"It has been less than a year since I ascended the throne, and everything has not yet stabilized." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"Your Majesty, just be aware of this." Meng Yi said respectfully.

"Uncle Meng, what is the result of the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Meng Yi.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Meng Yi presented a memorial.

Zhao Qingrui took it, read it quickly, and understood what it meant.

"Uncle Meng did a great job. Let's send Hu Hai directly to Yingzhou Island. This guy is still somewhat useful. It's a good idea to make use of him." Zhao Qingrui said leisurely.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will give the order soon." Meng Yi said seriously. It was too easy to interrogate Hu Hai. He didn't even use any tricks. Hu Hai told him everything he knew.

After seeing Meng Yi off, Zhao Qingrui began to ponder.

Hu Hai has now been dealt with, and the descendants of the six kingdoms have all become obedient. Now, only the grasslands and Buyeo, which were conquered not long ago, are not obedient and need to be patrolled.

However, even if a tour is to be held, it is not now. We have to wait at least one or two years until Daqin is completely stabilized.

However, Zhao Qingrui soon had no time to think about these messy things. Now it was the autumn harvest, and the tax issues should be almost prepared.

"As the end of the year approaches, taxation issues should be given top priority. I don't want to hear anything bad, such as embezzlement of taxes and grain during this period." Zhao Qingrui swept his cold eyes over these people.

As the Qin Dynasty grew richer and stronger, corruption also arose.

"The relocation work should be completed as soon as possible so that these relocated people can have a place to live before winter comes."

"There is also the need for various investments in schools. There is still a shortage of teachers, and the number of teacher training needs to be accelerated. The textbooks also need to be improved to make them more suitable for the people of our Great Qin and more suitable for children of all stages."

As Zhao Qingrui issued one order after another, the speed of the huge machine of the court increased a bit.

Everyone in the court worked honestly and obediently, not daring to raise any objections. There was nothing wrong with these decisions, and there was no need to refute His Majesty.

Zhao Qingrui returned to Zhangtai Palace. The palace was too quiet now, and Zhao Qingrui didn't like it very much.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very happy." The eunuch ran towards Zhao Qingrui excitedly.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows. In this peaceful life, she was looking for some excitement.

"Your Majesty, it was the great Mohist scholar. He asked me to tell your Majesty that the steam engine that your Majesty had him research on has been developed." The eunuch said hurriedly.

"The steam engine has been developed? Come on, call the Ministry of Works." Zhao Qingrui was overjoyed. Now that Su Ling was unwilling to take charge, Zhao Qingrui did not force him. Now he could focus on research with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Su Ling can now make a steam engine. That’s great. She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

When Zhao Qingrui arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he saw a group of people gathered around a sharp weapon, excitedly discussing various things.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" the eunuchs shouted.

Everyone immediately came back to their senses, put down what they were doing, and bowed respectfully.

"Stand up." Zhao Qingrui personally walked over and helped the graceful figure up.

"I heard that you invented the steam engine. I am very happy," Zhao Qingrui said happily.

"Your Majesty has long ago ordered me to devote all my energy to the research of steam engines. It took me so much time to finally figure it out with the Mohists. I feel ashamed to live up to your Majesty's high expectations." Su Ling said respectfully.

As someone who has seen so much advanced knowledge, he also knows the importance of the steam engine.

However, previous research always encountered various problems, such as various airtight materials, how to increase power, and the materials used that can withstand the machines. These are the challenges they face.

It is now barely done and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The rubber mentioned in the book is what they have always wanted, but unfortunately they have never found it.

"No need to do that. It's just right for you to do it now." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. Today is really a good day. With the steam engine, she can do more things.
