The Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

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...

Chapter 356 Currency Issues

"I understand." Meng Yi paused and said respectfully.

There weren't many members of the royal family who rebelled, and they were all relatively honest.

After all, neither the First Emperor nor the current Majesty is easy to get along with, and they don't have much good feelings towards people from the royal family.

If they cause trouble, Your Majesty will definitely deal with them without showing any mercy.

The fish soup was served soon. The milky white fish soup exuded an enticing aroma, making everyone swallow their saliva.

"Your Majesty, the food here is still delicious." Since Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace, Meng Yi rarely ate the delicious food here.

Fortunately, there are now more ways to eat Daqin’s food, which is countless times better than before.

On the table, besides fish soup, there were many other dishes that Meng Yi liked to eat.

Seeing these dishes, Meng Yi's eyes were a little red. His Majesty always remembered his preferences, and he was very touched.

"Uncle Meng, do you still like it?" Zhao Qingrui chuckled. Meng Yi seemed to be easily moved.

"I like it. Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering my preferences." Meng Yi nodded seriously.

"As long as you like it." Zhao Qingrui was even happier.

There are still many disadvantages to being an emperor. There is not even anyone with whom he can communicate freely, which makes Zhao Qingrui feel a little lonely.

Shusun Tong watched silently from the side, but with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Meng Yi was a close attendant of the First Emperor and a close friend of the First Emperor. He was also the only person in the court who knew about the existence of Zhao Qingrui.

This trust is truly enviable.

Moreover, Meng Yi watched His Majesty grow up, so he was even more envious of such a friendship.

Zhao Qingrui did not notice Shusun Tong's envy. She waited until they had dinner before leaving the palace.

After the New Year, the imperial court had begun to resume normal operations, and the entire Qin Dynasty was still filled with the joy of the New Year.

The recalculated calendar was delivered to Zhao Qingrui's desk. After Zhao Qingrui asked the system to calculate it and confirmed that there was no problem, he promulgated the new calendar.

At the same time, he also issued an edict that from then on, the first month would be the beginning of the year and the twelfth month would be the end of the year, and the Zhuanxu calendar would no longer be used.

When Zhao Qingrui ascended the throne, he modified the calendar, which was considered a change of era, and the years were still calculated according to the time of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

This calendar-related decree did not cause much commotion.

The calendar for the new year was quickly spread out. It was a thin calendar that only covered one year, but some notes were made about the events of that year.

This is also in accordance with Zhao Qingrui's idea. The twenty-four solar terms are marked on it. As long as people look through the calendar, they will know when to farm and when to harvest.

This calendar has high practical value and is sold at a very low price, which immediately captured the hearts of the people.

"Dashan, your family also bought a calendar." A tall man patted the man walking in front and said, he also had one in his hand.

The literacy work in recent years has been quite good. People in Guizhou basically recognize some commonly used characters and can do simple calculations.

The words on this calendar are all commonly used words, and they can understand them by themselves.

"Yes, I didn't expect that His Majesty would pay so much attention to us. With this calendar, it will be convenient to do anything in the future. I didn't expect that today would be the 12th." The man scratched his head honestly, and he turned the book in his hand to today's date.

He found out this after asking the clerk, and from now on he only needs to turn one page every day.

The calendar that Your Majesty has made is so convenient. I praise Your Majesty for the thousandth time in my heart.

"Of course not. I've already agreed with my wife that we'll go back to her parents' home on the 15th. It's so convenient to have this calendar. I don't even have to keep track of the date."

"Our family will also offer sacrifices to our ancestors in a few days."

The two men were from the same village. They went back to the village together and discussed the things on the calendar along the way. They were now particularly interested in this calendar.

Such things were happening in many places, and the entire Qin Dynasty was filled with excitement.

Zhao Qingrui took his men out for a tour in disguise and found out that the calendar promotion was going smoothly without any problems.

The calendar is something that everyone, whether nobles or common people, finds very useful.

"Imperial Astronomical Observatory, from now on, a calendar for the new year will be issued at the end of each year. If the calendar is inaccurate, it must be recalculated." Zhao Qingrui looked at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory seriously.

The calendar is very important to a country.

"What do you think? Why did the emperor suddenly change the calendar? This new calendar is quite convenient to use." In a small courtyard, several people were sitting together, and one of them, a gentle young man, said.

"If it's useful, just use it. As long as it doesn't cause any trouble for us, it's a waste not to use this good thing." A middle-aged man said in a muffled voice.

That’s right, this is where the remnants of the six kingdoms that Zhao Qingrui hates who have not given up.

The Qin Dynasty had more and more good things, and their small anti-Qin group was getting smaller and smaller. In the Qin Dynasty's situation, they had no chance of winning, so many people withdrew directly.

In today's Qin, as long as you work hard, you can basically survive. If you are smart, you can say that there are opportunities to make money everywhere in Daqin.

The hustle and bustle outside had little impact on Zhao Qingrui. The book repair shop was now idle, so Zhao Qingrui planned to find something for them to do.

The currency used by the Qin Dynasty now, apart from gold, is the Qin Banliang.

Gold is precious and will surely be coveted if taken out casually. The Qin Banliang, one is equivalent to one dollar, which is also inconvenient to use for transactions.
