"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The royal family poses no threat to me." Zhao Qingrui said lightly and threw the fishing hook into the river again.

Are these court officials too idle? They are either concerned about her marriage or her next generation all day long.

Or, give them more workload?

"Your Majesty, schools across Daqin now have a basic prototype. Should the construction of schools be expanded to areas such as grasslands and deserts?" Seeing that Zhao Qingrui didn't want to talk about descendants, Shusun Tong stopped trying to make trouble for her, so as to avoid being punished by His Majesty.

"Yes, they are also citizens of the Qin Dynasty now and should be treated equally." Zhao Qingrui nodded.

It is indeed time to develop the grassland. Daqin still needs a lot of people. It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the existing population in the Central Plains.

The fertility rate has increased a lot in recent years, and many children have been raised.

However, it takes a lot of time for this group of people to grow up.

Then, we have to find other ways to meet the urgently needed population.

Liu Ji is doing a good job now, so I'll give him a promotion in the future.

Thinking of Liu Ji, Zhao Qingrui recalled in his mind where Liu Ji had been during this period of time. Liu Ji was not on the list of promotions this time.

However, Zhao Qingrui looked at Liu Ji's achievements recorded by Feng Jie. If he continued like this, Liu Ji should be promoted to Xianyang in two years.

Two years is not a long time.

Once schools are built in these places on the grassland, we must send more teachers of ideological education there to assimilate those people sooner, which will also be more conducive to the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In recent years, the officials sent by the Qin Dynasty to the grasslands still found it difficult to manage the local indigenous people. These people were grouped together in small tribes, and the court's orders were not easy to convey.

These are the traditions of the grassland. There is no point in her changing them. If she forces them to change, it will cause unrest.

If you want to completely transform these people into the people of the Qin Dynasty, you have to take it step by step.

Fortunately, the results achieved are still very good. Due to the formation of various trades, various things on the grassland flow into the Central Plains, and materials from the Central Plains also flow to the grassland. As materials circulate, people on the grassland are gradually getting better off and can afford to eat.

It is precisely for this reason that they do not have much resistance to the management of the Qin court.

Zhao Qingrui attaches great importance to education.

Shusun Tong respectfully responded to Zhao Qingrui's words.

He was also aware of this matter. The promotion of education was much more difficult in the beginning, but now, everyone has accepted it well.

As long as the people in areas like the Xiongnu cooperate honestly, the Qin Dynasty will still treat them with very favorable policies.

A breeze blew, and the lake surface sparkled. Zhao Qingrui narrowed his eyes slightly. He finally had a day off today, so he had to have a good rest.

Meng Yi's fishing line moved and was slowly pulled up. A fish the size of a palm jumped out of the water.

"Uncle Meng is so amazing, this is the biggest fish today." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.

"I am lucky today. I will have the fish sent to the imperial kitchen and have the chef make fish soup for Your Majesty." Meng Yi said respectfully.

"Okay, then you can stay and eat with us." Zhao Qingrui said happily. Fish soup, I haven't eaten it for a few days, and I'm really craving it.

"Yes." The two men responded respectfully. Although His Majesty often invited officials to dine in the palace, there were very few people who could actually eat with His Majesty.

This also represents His Majesty's closeness to them, and the two are naturally happy.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has prepared some good wine?" Meng Yi said with a cheerful smile.

"I do have some good wine, but drinking will only delay things, so I won't drink any. I'll send you some later." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. She naturally felt closer to Meng Yi. After all, he had watched her grow up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two said happily.

Zhao Qingrui has a lot of good things, especially the wine she brews, which is much more fragrant than the ones sold outside.

The wine and beverages used in the palace banquets in recent years were all brought out by Zhao Qingrui. Such wine cannot be bought outside.

These wines, especially those of the military generals, are particularly fond of this wine.

Shusun Tong would also drink occasionally, and he also liked the wine in the palace.

Your Majesty rarely rewards others, so you can't drink it even if you want to.

Zhao Qingrui felt like laughing when she saw the greedy looks on the two men's faces.

In fact, the drinks sold outside are also quite good. After she came up with various technologies, all aspects of Qianshou's life are changing rapidly.

Although the liquor monopoly system resulted in high taxes on alcohol, most of the people who bought it were those who had extra money at home.

Especially good wines, basically only nobles and wealthy people can afford them, which can be regarded as a disguised way of paying more taxes to the Qin Dynasty.

After playing outside for an afternoon, Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace and asked someone to prepare delicious food.

Zhao Qingrui was in Zhangtai Palace, chatting with Meng Yi and others about the situation in Daqin.

"Your Majesty, there are many more factories in Daqin now, and many of them are supported by officials behind the scenes. These people have exploited many loopholes by taking advantage of their relationships with officials." Meng Yi frowned slightly when talking about the various factories in Daqin.

"There is no need to rush this matter. If the system is not perfect enough, we can improve it bit by bit. If someone breaks the law, the prince will be punished the same as the common people." Zhao Qingrui looked at Meng Yi.

She had already issued an edict for this rule, which was also to restrain herself and the members of the royal family and prevent certain people from harming the Qin Dynasty.
