After Su Ling left, Zhao Qingrui looked at his father dimly. Why did he come here for no reason? It was still early. If he talked to Su Ling for a while longer, he could refresh the system mall twice more.
"What are you looking at? The person has already left. Why are you reluctant to let him go?" Being looked at by his daughter, Ying Zheng became even more unhappy with Su Ling.
"Didn't you go to the harem? Why are you here?" Zhao Qingrui touched her hand and swallowed the words she wanted to say, so as to avoid her father misunderstanding anything.
"Well, I took a walk around, but there wasn't anything interesting, so I came here." Ying Zheng said lightly. Although he often went to the harem during this period, his mind was on the former dynasty.
Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows but didn't say much.
Although her father didn't have three thousand beauties in his harem, there were still several hundred of them. She said that it was a waste of money to keep all these people.
There are still many people who eat for free. Dad probably can’t even remember all of them, especially those who don’t have children.
Fortunately, her father is not a tyrant, otherwise, even with the system, she would probably be doomed with his body.
Of course, as a daughter, it was impossible for her to persuade her father to release those people in the harem.
In Ying Zheng's view, women would only affect the speed at which he could draw his sword. He had no intention of favoring any of the women in the harem.
"You too, you finally get a break and you want to work so badly, I can send you a bunch." Ying Zheng looked resentful, as he would not allow other pigs to dig into his juicy cabbages.
"Forget it then." Zhao Qingrui waved her hands quickly. Let her go of reviewing government affairs. She is now dreaming of piles of government affairs. Her father has done her a lot of harm.
After having dinner with her father, Zhao Qingrui returned to her palace. She would be busy again tomorrow. When she thought of this, a mask of pain appeared on her face. The leisurely days were gone forever.
As the refined salt was sent back, the news that Prince Fusu went to Langya County to make salt also spread.
Although not much of these refined salts were sent back at the beginning, they were better than the current coarse salt and cheaper. Many people began to look forward to them, waiting for these refined salts to appear on the market.

In Shangjun, Chu Yan took his men out and killed the small group sent by the Huns to cause trouble without leaving a single survivor.
Just as he returned to his tent, someone came to report, "Right Minister, the General wants you to come over."
"Let me change my clothes, I'll be there soon." Chu Yan nodded. He still had to clean up the blood stains on his body.
He has been in Shangjun for more than three years. He was able to climb to the position of Right Minister by fighting his way through. In the past few years, he has killed many Xiongnu roving soldiers and won the appreciation of Meng Tian.
Chu Yan came to Meng Tian's yard. Meng Tian was looking at the map, not knowing what he was studying.
"Meet the General."
"Now that you're here, no need to be polite. We've won a great victory this time. If you kill a few more, you'll get promoted again." Meng Tian chuckled, put down the map in his hand, walked over and patted Chu Yan on the shoulder.
Meng Yi had already told him about the affairs of the court, and he even knew who was behind Chu Yan.
He had no interest in the affairs of the court, but Chu Yan was indeed a rare and good general. He was brave and courageous in battle, and did not rely solely on brute force. This was also what he admired most about him.
"This is what I should do. I am a soldier of the Great Qin. The land of the Great Qin will not tolerate the presumptuous behavior of the Huns." Chu Yan said righteously.
The corner of Meng Tian's mouth twitched slightly. At first, he did feel that Chu Yan cared about the Great Qin, and he was very touched. Later, he realized that this guy was purely trying to climb up, to climb higher, and to gain favor in front of him. However, he did not hate him. As long as he did not betray the Great Qin, that was enough.
"Well, the military pay from the court has been delivered. The money that was not paid before can be made up this time. By the way, there is also a letter sent along with it. It is specially written to you by the little princess." Meng Tian took out a letter tube from his arms. It was a sealed bamboo tube with the letter paper rolled up inside.
He looked at the boy meaningfully. He learned a lot from his brother. The more he knew, the more shocked he couldn't help but feel.
The sky of the Qin Dynasty has changed.
"Thank you, General." Chu Yan was delighted when he took the bamboo tube. Did the young lady finally remember him?
He had also learned about Zhao Qingrui's situation from Meng Tian before. He was stunned at the time. This was too unbelievable.
"Okay, go get your salary and go back to have some rest." Seeing Chu Yan staring at the mailbox, he smiled helplessly. Knowing that he was anxious to read, he didn't keep him.
"Thank you, General." Chu Yan said seriously. He really couldn't wait to see the contents of the letter.
He returned to his tent and carefully checked the area around it. After making sure that there was no one around, he took out the letter and started reading it.
This letter was written by Zhao Qingrui herself. She has been busy recently, but she is still thinking about the affairs of the Huns.
Maodun's power is growing stronger and stronger. If we don't control him, he will become a big threat to the Qin Dynasty after he kills his father with the arrow of a spear and conquers the surrounding tribes.
A Xiongnu prince? I really think there really is such a person.
However, it is quite difficult to kill him. The Xiongnu royal court is too far away, and Prince Maodun is unlikely to appear near Shangjun. We can only think of other ways.
Zhao Qingrui also sent the caravan over and asked them to find a way to trade with the Huns and exchange horses, cattle and sheep from them.
At this time, the great herdsman Wu Shiluo had passed away, his son did not have his ability, and his ranch gradually disappeared from people's sight.
If Wu Shiluo were still alive, Zhao Qingrui would have wanted to buy a large number of cattle and sheep from him.
Since Wu Shiluo’s approach doesn’t work, we can only find a solution from the Xiongnu.
If we can conquer all the surrounding tribes, we won’t have to worry about cattle and sheep anymore.
Zhao Qingrui had this plan, and so did Ying Zheng, but the plan had to be shelved because the national treasury did not allow them to defeat the Huns right now.
After reading the letter many times and making sure there was nothing missing, Chu Yan threw the letter into the brazier and destroyed it.
The weather this year is not very good, and the situation of the Huns is not very good either, so the Huns have become more rampant and want to steal more things from Daqin.
In terms of trade, what the Huns lacked most was food, but Zhao Qingrui had no shortage of it. If she could exchange food for a large number of cattle and sheep, she would be very satisfied even if she could not exchange them for war horses.
First find a way to infiltrate the Huns, so that you can better deal with the Huns.
Chu Yan went to meet the people from the caravan. He knew this person as he had studied with him in elementary school.
"I didn't expect that you have climbed to the position of Right Minister. It's faster to climb up by joining the army." Sui Shicong hit Chu Yan's chest and said with a smile.
