After returning to the palace, Zhao Jun went straight into her room. She had to quickly draw up the recruitment details.
It was not until the evening that Qingliu came back from outside on a bike, and Zhao Jun, hearing the sound, staggered out of the room.
The two of them started talking while eating today's dinner.
"Sir, the scholars have already made arrangements. They are all working on their own teaching plans. Two were submitted today. I think there are several obvious inappropriate points, and they are slandering the Qin Dynasty. I have asked them to go back and revise them."
"Someone from the Ministry of Works arrived today and said that the construction of the university outside the city has been basically completed according to your requirements. Please come and inspect it when you have time."
Qingliu reported today's work in detail. There were basically no problems and she had already handled them.
"Okay, I'll go to the university to inspect it in a few days."
"Tomorrow you can discuss with Fusu and prepare to release the news."
"clear."
Qingliu nodded. This had been mentioned before.
"I probably still won't have time to report tomorrow, so you and Fusu should pay more attention to this matter."
Zhao Jun was thinking about the details he had already drawn up, and estimated that he might have to go to the army with Meng Yi tomorrow.
The next day, Qingliu went out early as usual.
Zhao Jun wanted to sleep in, but his work didn't allow it.
But even so, she didn't go out until after nine o'clock.
She first went to see Ying Zheng and showed him the recruitment details that she had drafted yesterday.
"Your Majesty, if it's all right, I'll go find Meng Yi and then start recruiting people from the army."
Ying Zheng lowered his head and silently looked at the clearly marked content.
"I have no objection, but your treatment is too good. All the money has to come from your Neishi Mansion, which is not a small amount."
"In my opinion, these soldiers are idle anyway, so just provide them with food."
It’s not that Ying Zheng doesn’t care about his soldiers, but he feels bad about spending such a large sum of money.
"It's still not appropriate. You have seen the main people I want to recruit here. These people have all contributed to the Qin Dynasty. I must consider their future."
"Your Majesty was worried about the military merit system before. Although I haven't come up with any particularly good solutions yet, I know that the number of soldiers will have to be reduced in the future. After all, there won't be so many beatings."
"Then what should we do with these dismissed soldiers? I see that most of them are veterans of Qin. We definitely can't just ignore them."
"So, take this opportunity now to give this retired soldier a place to go. Although it may not be as good as fighting in the war and earning a title or something, at least safety is guaranteed, and he can also get paid."
"This can also be regarded as an example to the soldiers who may retire in the future. The Qin Dynasty has not forgotten their contributions."
Zhao Jun expressed his thoughts.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.
"Okay, then let's do it your way."
He understood what Zhao Jun meant, and in fact, he himself was not unwilling to give these soldiers good treatment.
This is all because of poverty. If he had more money, he would be willing to reward these people generously.
"Alright, thank you, Your Majesty."
"However, I have something to tell you in advance. The wages will all be paid by your Neishi Mansion. Your workshops have been very profitable in recent years."
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at her sideways. He remembered the account books reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a year ago.
No wonder she is so generous now, the Nei Shi Mansion has saved up money now.
"Oh, my king, isn't this certain? I'll do it, I'll do it."
Zhao Jun didn't expect to get money from him at all.
"By the way, my king, which army should I join when Meng Yi and I go to recruit workers?"
She has always been in charge of economic affairs and has not paid much attention to the Qin army.
"You should go directly to General Wang Jian. He has a large army and should have the people you want to recruit. However..."
Speaking of Wang Jian, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Jun wondered what had happened that she didn't know about.
"Nothing, General Wang Jian is preparing to retire and return home."
It’s about the same time. She remembered that General Wang Jian seemed to be almost seventy years old.
At this age, you should have retired long ago.
Doesn’t Ying Zheng want people to retire?
A heartless boss.
Zhao Jun couldn't help but secretly complain about him in his heart.
"Okay, my king, I'll be leaving now."
Ying Zheng seemed to be in distress about his beloved general's retirement, so he waved his hand and let her go.
After Zhao Jun left the house, he ran to the Coal Mine Administration Office.
This is where Meng Yi works now.
The doorman knew her, so she walked right in.
He met many officials who came to greet him on the way, but Zhao Jun didn't recognize any of them.
However, as she looked along, she discovered that there were quite a few officials in the Coal Administration.
"Master Zhao, Master Meng is in the room inside."
Zhao Jun nodded and let the person go out. He then walked carefully to the door and looked inside quietly.
I saw Meng Yi sitting on a chair, with a teacup on his left hand and tapping the table with his right hand.
He looked very serious and composed, if you ignored his blank look.
"Hey, what is Master Meng doing?"
She looked outside for a while and then swaggered in.
"Master Zhao, now that you are here, I thought I came into the palace on my own."
Meng Yi was brought back to his senses by her voice, and smiled as he asked her to sit down.
"I think you're so relaxed that you even have time to daydream, unlike me who's busy as hell all day long."
She seemed to sigh and glanced at him.
"That's for your use, sir. Besides, I was assigned a task as well. I just took a break from my busy schedule."
Meng Yi smiled and gave a fake answer.
"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. The king has already made everything clear to you."
"Understood."
Meng Yi nodded.
He was summoned to the palace yesterday afternoon and given an explanation.
"I've never heard you mention such a big thing before."
Meng Yi was shocked all day yesterday and only felt a little better today.
Who would have thought that such an amazing thing would be developed? It’s unheard of, and I don’t know when I can see it in person.
"How can I tell you everything? This is confidential."
"Alright, I have something to talk to you about today. I've already told the king. Let's go straight to General Wang Jian and have him take us into the military camp."
She wanted to gather everyone today.
"Okay, no problem. Yesterday the king told me about going to the army to find workers."
"It has been confirmed that we are recruiting people from General Wang Jian's subordinates. I will take you to the Wang family now."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yi immediately stood up and prepared to take Zhao Jun to the Wang family.
The two of them quickly left the Simei Mansion and headed straight for the Wang family.
Fortunately, Meng Yi led the way, otherwise Zhao Jun really wouldn’t know the place.
