Zhao Qingrui paid attention to the outside discussions about the selection, and left the rest to Feng Quji and the others.

Feng Quji and his team have already come up with a detailed plan and have taken preventive measures against those who want to cheat. Zhao Qingrui is not worried about the follow-up of this matter.

As those outstanding officials appeared in newspapers, the people of Qian got to know them better and knew their resumes and achievements.

As the end of the year approaches, people are talking about these officials everywhere and discussing which one to choose.

Feng Quji and his colleagues discussed that the common people only had one vote and could only choose one person to vote for, while on the Ministry of Personnel side, the number of votes increased with the increase of the official's position level.

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel have more power than the common people. Like Feng Quji, as the Minister of Personnel, he has a hundred votes in his hands, allowing him to vote for the people he likes.

Although the common people can influence the outcome of the selection, their votes are equally important.

As the protagonists of this incident, each of them was quite nervous.

The list of outstanding officials is also very important to their resumes. Being on the list also means that they will be able to go further in the future and have a brighter future.

The court asked them to behave themselves and do their jobs well during this period, but they also secretly asked their families to canvass for votes.

Zhao Qingrui knew about their actions, but did not stop them. Being able to get enough votes is also a reflection of one's ability.

Of course, if someone uses some unorthodox means, she will not be polite and will disqualify them immediately once discovered.

Anyway, there are still many people on the candidate list, and Zhao Qingrui is not afraid of them committing suicide.

After several people were disqualified and sent to the book revision office, everyone was shocked and those who were canvassing for votes became much more low-key.

"Your idea is good. I will cast a few votes when the time comes." Ying Zheng touched his chin and finally grew a little beard.

"Father, you still want to join in the fun?" Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly.

"Of course, I am also a part of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng was eager to try.

"Of course you can, but you can't use your current identity. I can only give you a share of a minor official in the Ministry of Personnel." Zhao Qingrui thought about it and decided not to discourage his father's enthusiasm. If he wants to play, then let him play.

It's just a vote. Giving him a few votes won't change the voting pattern.

There are only so many people chosen every year.

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded. He just wanted to have fun.

"I see that your support for the Ministry of Works exceeds that for education. Aren't you investing too much?" Ying Zheng casually flipped through the account books sent to Zhangtai Palace, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Looking at these investments, he felt terrified. The investment in this one item was comparable to the gains of an entire year when he was in power.

Zhao Qingrui threw herself into it without blinking, and he was shocked to see it.

If this money were to go to waste, it would be a devastating loss for the Qin Dynasty.

The effect of education is more obvious. It has provided a large number of outstanding talents to the Qin Dynasty over the years. Ying Zheng thinks this is nothing wrong and very worthwhile.

Although the Ministry of Industry has made some achievements, they are ultimately just craftsmen.

"Father, the train will be almost operational when I return from my tour. The weapons in the Qin army have all been updated. In two years, all weapons should be replaced with muskets. In addition to these, other aspects have also provided a lot of tax revenue for the Qin army. The money invested is worth it." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. What about this? You even allocated money to plant trees?" Ying Zheng was speechless. There are so many people in Daqin, isn't that enough to cause trouble?

"This is to protect the environment. I am not planting trees randomly, father. It takes time for trees to grow. In recent years, Daqin's consumption of timber has been increasing. If all the trees are cut down, it will lead to desertification." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"My father has been to the desert before, so he should know something about the situation there." Zhao Qingrui sighed. She could only try her best to protect the ecological environment while she was still aware of it.

Thanks to the modern giants, she understood so many things and was able to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Thinking of the hot desert, where there was no grass in many places, Ying Zheng fell silent.

"Excessive felling of trees will also lead to soil erosion and landslides."

"You are right." Ying Zheng was helpless.

My daughter’s thoughts make sense. Trees are indeed important.

"Of course. It would be great if Your Majesty could come to the palace every day. Look, Your Majesty, there are so many government affairs to deal with, and this is less than half of them. Do you know how I have been living these years?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng sadly.

The emperor is now well, and he doesn't know how to hold on for a few more years to give her some relief.

"How are you doing? I see that you are doing very well. I am very satisfied. I am relieved to leave the Qin Dynasty to you." He simply ignored the aggrieved look of his daughter. This girl just wanted to be lazy.

We have persevered through the most difficult times in recent years. It’s too late to complain now.

"Look at my dark circles, father. Don't you feel sorry for me?" Zhao Qingrui pointed at the dark circles under his eyes. He must have been very busy recently.

"You are strong and healthy. You should work harder while you are young." He felt a little distressed, but he also thought that his daughter wanted to throw these tasks to him.

"I am the emperor's daughter. Is there any need for me to fight so hard?" Zhao Qingrui's eyes became even more resentful. Instead of being an emperor, she wanted to be a salted fish princess.
