"I feel the same. Life in Daqin is better now, and prices have risen a bit. Purchasing too many things will be a big burden for us." Li was also helpless. Although she had some financial support from the Feng family, those people were not doing charity, so she also gave up some of the profits.

"Are you short of money? I am not short of money. How about I invest in you?" Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them.

"Could you please let me consider this?" Li was a little tempted, but she also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Okay. I've accumulated quite a bit of money over the years. It's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well use it to do something meaningful. I can give you 200 million. My conditions are very simple: one percent of the tax revenue from your vassal states, and you can pay more attention to Ying Yuan and don't let him become too powerful." Zhao Qingrui looked at them with a smile.

One percent, permanently, is a lot.

However, Zhao Qingrui took out more money, which made the two of them very tempted.

Moreover, the contract will allow them to have a closer relationship with Zhao Qingrui's lineage in the future.

Zhao Qingrui did have her own plans. If her child turned out to be a good-for-nothing in the future, she could still live a comfortable life relying on the family fortune she had accumulated.

After having dinner with Zhao Qingrui in Wangyi Palace, Li went to Heyue's home, and the two chatted for a long time.

Within two days, they came back to Zhao Qingrui and agreed to her investment.

After hearing the two's decision, Zhao Qingrui nodded with satisfaction and directly ordered someone to send the money to them at the mansion. In addition to these things, Zhao Qingrui also gave them some skills, such as glass making, papermaking, and compass.

These money-making things allowed them to gain a foothold sooner when they arrived in their own vassal states.

The two people who received these prescriptions had tears in their eyes and were very moved.

"Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to give the recipe to the two kings? What if they betray Your Majesty?" Shang Lian was somewhat dissatisfied with giving away those technologies.

"It's okay. What I need is for Daqin's various technologies to be constantly updated so that Daqin can always remain stronger than all the princes." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

As for the technology she used, there are many optimization solutions in the system mall, but these things are relatively expensive, and it is not cost-effective to buy them with points.

What she needed was the craftsmen of Daqin to continuously improve these recipes, not rely on her.

"What if they surpass the Qin Dynasty?" Shang Lian said worriedly. Why can't His Majesty be prepared for danger in times of peace? It makes her so worried.

"Then send someone over to learn." Zhao Qingrui curled her lips. She had to say that the bird gun made by the Ministry of Works once again gave her strong confidence. If they could make a cannon, she would not be afraid of any prince becoming powerful.

Unable to persuade Zhao Qingrui, Shang Lian said no more.

"Has there been any news from Feng Jie in Shu County?" Zhao Qingrui asked about the situation on Feng Jie's side.

Feng Jie is an upright and capable person. He would often advise her when she did something wrong. Zhao Qingrui was a little uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of such a person in the court.

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet." Shang Lian also became serious.

Feng Jie is an old minister. If something unexpected happens during this mission, His Majesty will definitely be sad.

Zhao Qingrui values ​​the capable ministers left behind by the First Emperor very much. They are special to the Qin Dynasty.

"Send a message to Dun Ruo." Zhao Qingrui was worried and decided to let Dun Ruo go and take a look.

Those people dared to mine iron ore privately, and they might have already made a lot of weapons. We can't let Feng Jie encounter any accidents.

At this time, Feng Jie, who was being remembered by Zhao Qingrui, was indeed in some trouble.

He brought people here to secretly investigate the iron mine. After much difficulty, he found some clues, but for some reason, the news leaked out.

Then he was assassinated. If he hadn't learned all the skills when he was young, he would have almost been killed.

Even so, he was injured and stabbed in the shoulder.

He is currently recuperating in a small courtyard in Shu County. "Go to Hanzhong County and send this memorial back to Xianyang."

"Yes." The guard did not dare to delay. He took the memorial, changed into ordinary clothes, and quickly left the courtyard.

After the guards left, Feng Jie was the only one left in the room. The other two, one was guarding the courtyard while the other went to boil medicine for him.

There was a vicious glint in Feng Jie's eyes. It seemed that someone didn't want him to investigate further.

They even sent out assassins, and they were all death squads.

The Qin Dynasty has already wiped out the remnants of the six kingdoms several times, and some people are still training assassins.

Anyone who can possess such power must have made a lot of preparations.

However, the weapons of the Qin Dynasty are not comparable to the cold weapons in the hands of these rebels. Sooner or later, these people will be wiped out.

Those people didn't let him check, but he insisted on checking.

This time he brought more than ten people out, and three of them were assassinated. Except for the one who was guarding him here, the others were outside exploring the iron mine.

He wanted to see who had such great power behind the scenes, and who even dared to hire killers and make so many preparations. He was quite ambitious.

He sorted out the memorials submitted by the county governor and what he had found out during this period.

The only one that has contact with the iron mine is a blacksmith shop called Shengxing in the county town. This kind of blacksmith shop exists in various places of the Qin Dynasty. Each county and prefecture has supported one or two blacksmith shops. These are used to forge the tools that the chieftains of Qian need, such as spatulas, farm tools, etc.

The number of craftsmen in Daqin has gradually increased in recent years, but even so, it is still not enough.
