There was still a lot of time today, so Zhao Qingrui had dinner directly at Shusun Tong's house and only took Chunxi back in the evening.
As soon as he returned, he met his father's resentful eyes. The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched, "Father, what's wrong with you? Who is unhappy with you?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's some heartless person." Ying Zheng glanced at her indifferently.
"Who is it? I'll go help father deal with him. Is it Brother Jianglu? Or Hu Hai?" Zhao Qingrui said seriously, as if he couldn't tell that the person his father was talking about was himself.
Seeing his daughter acting like a spoiled child, Ying Zheng was helpless: "Why did you go to Shusun Tong? If you think he is good, why don't I issue an imperial decree to let him be your teacher?"
"No need, I don't want a teacher to make me study." Zhao Qingrui refused without thinking. As for studying, it's better to read quietly by herself. With a teacher, the nature of the study will change. She probably doesn't want to study anymore.
Seeing his daughter's face full of rejection, Ying Zheng gave up and just let it go if she didn't like him.
"Why did you finish all those political affairs so early today?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.
"Because my master gave me a good thing. I will tell you about it slowly after dinner." Zhao Qingrui walked over and sat next to his father and poured him a cup of tea.
Good stuff? Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his heartbeat quickened considerably.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng said calmly.
"Fusu has sent back a lot of salt. You have done a good job in ordering Jianglu and others to do their job. There are many more merchants in Xianyang during this period. You are in charge of this matter." Ying Zheng talked about refined salt.
"Well, this matter can be completely resolved by the end of the month, so let's warm up a little more." Zhao Qingrui nodded. She was also paying attention to this matter and she knew what it was about.
She even knew a lot about the situation on Fusu's side. Ji Rongan and his men in Langya not only assisted Fusu, but also did a lot of things.
In addition to what is known in history about the entire situation of the Qin Dynasty, after her people spread out, she also had a certain control over other places, such as Lingnan and Shangjun.
Her father had no objection to what she did, and she was too lazy to hide it, so she just did it openly. After all, she was a person with real skills.
"There's no rush about this matter. I don't know what happened to Sui Shicong after he entered the Xiongnu?" Zhao Qingrui sighed. After Sui Shicong entered the Xiongnu, it became inconvenient to pass on news.
"We'll know in a few days. He has only been in the Xiongnu for a few days." Ying Zheng said lightly.
Ying Zheng was not optimistic about his daughter's suggestion of trading with the Huns.
"I just feel unsure," Zhao Qingrui said worriedly. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Father, how are you and General Wang Ben's experiments going in the Black Armor Guard? Is that militia training manual any good?"
"It looks good at the moment, but such large-scale training consumes a lot of food. Without enough food, we really can't sustain it." Ying Zheng's face twisted. Everywhere in the Qin Dynasty needed food and money, but the Qin treasury couldn't provide it.
"Let's take our time with the food issue. In more than a month, the sweet potatoes in Shanglin Garden should be ripe, and then we can temporarily ease the situation in Daqin." Zhao Qingrui was also very troubled. If she had to use the food she had saved to help the entire Daqin, she would definitely not be willing to do so, even if this world belonged to her father.
"Yeah, that's what I think too."
If these black-armored guards can be trained to the level of sharp warriors, this book will be of great use to the Qin Dynasty.
After dinner, Zhao Qingrui called everyone in the hall out and then gave the gene optimization potion to his father.
"Just drink this medicine directly. There will be no other reactions. Go back and take a nap. When you wake up, you will feel much more energetic and your body will be healthier." Zhao Qingrui briefly explained the effect of the medicine.
It can make the body better. Ying Zheng took the potion and looked at it carefully. It was similar to the blue water he drank at the beginning, which made him believe in the effect of this potion.
After saying something to Zhao Qingrui, he couldn't wait to go back to his own bedroom. He was not in the mood to fight with those concubines today.
Looking at his father's hurried steps, Zhao Qingrui showed a knowing smile on his face.
As large quantities of refined salt were transported back to Xianyang, all the merchants who came to Xianyang already knew about this.
Zhao Qingrui asked Jiang Lu and others to send some to these merchants and let them make their own decisions.
She couldn't give the sales rights of refined salt to everyone. At least Daqin needed a lot of money at the moment, and the method of making refined salt should not be released to others.
Everyone was shocked by the taste of refined salt. It really had no bitterness at all. Its snow-white color was very pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, the price of this refined salt is very low, even ordinary people can afford it. Not to mention the profit, the price of salt in the Qin market will definitely be greatly impacted in the future, and it will probably not take long for it to be replaced.
Many people are becoming more active and think that obtaining exclusive rights and establishing connections with the authorities may be a good option.
Zhao Qingrui didn't care about these people's plans. He just asked people to continue to publicize this matter in the newspapers, trying to let the entire Qiandu capital of Daqin know that the price of salt would be reduced and people should not buy those private salt.
Zhao Qingrui's plan was quite successful. The newspaper was already popular, and now as it spread, the gentry in various places basically knew about it, and most of the common people also knew about it.
Seeing that the influence of the court gazette was constantly growing, Zhao Qingrui prepared to expand it.
He took the imperial seal and stamped it, then issued an order, and most of the people in the newspaper were dispatched, with at least one person going to each county. The paper and type needed for printing the newspaper were provided by Mohist and Gongshujia.
During this period, the people of Mohism and Gongshu were extremely busy. In addition to paper and molds, they also made many things from the book "Tiangong Kaiwu". Those that benefited the country and the people were also taken out by Zhao Qingrui and applied to the Qin Dynasty.
This kind of busyness has never happened before.
During this period, many curved plows were made and sent to various parts of Daqin, solving many farming problems for the people.
This feeling of being needed filled the two families with fighting spirit.
The situations of these two families were seen by all other schools of thought, and they were secretly envious. They also wanted to publicize their own situations and recruit more disciples.
During this period, the Mohist and Gongshu schools were very popular, and many people wanted to join their schools, which made the other schools of thought extremely envious.
"Alas, I don't know if His Highness needs someone from our Za family." Za Mao was pushed forward as the representative of the Za family to visit Zhao Qingrui, mainly because Za Mao and Zhao Qingrui knew each other.
