Zhao Qingrui knew that her father didn't like to eat vegetarian food. Although she punished him, he was her own father after all. How could she treat him badly? After returning, she asked the cook to make some snacks and cold drinks and asked the palace maid to deliver them.
However, not much was sent over, as eating too much sweets is not conducive to weight loss.
During the morning court session the next day, Ying Zheng called Su Ling and Gongshu Yu to ask about the iron smelting matter.
The two did not dare to hide anything and directly told each other about the current progress.
They are now able to forge some good things. These weapons are stronger and more resilient than bronze and iron forged before.
However, what is presented to Your Majesty must be made with greater refinement, and the currently available technology must be utilized to the fullest extent. What is presented to Your Majesty must naturally be the best.
"That's great. Whoever of your two families forges the best will lead the manufacturing of weapons for the army." Ying Zheng said excitedly.
"I obey your order." The two of them responded quickly.
Su Ling was not very enthusiastic about this matter. Instead of managing weapons manufacturing, he preferred to study the direction he liked.
The book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" really helped him a lot and solved countless of his doubts. He was very grateful to Zhao Qingrui.
Now that Zhao Qingrui is a princess, he can no longer go to the palace to ask for advice often.
Fortunately, the little princess knew his difficulties, so he could go to the official newspaper to find Mr. Xie Peiyun.
After the morning court session, Zhao Qingrui kept Zhang Liang and kept him and Wang Xian by his side, giving him the same position as Wang Xian.
Seeing how skillfully Zhao Qingrui handled government affairs and the things she had instructed him to do, Zhang Liang was secretly shocked. Ying Zheng's favor towards her was indeed excessive. No wonder those Confucian scholars looked down on Zhao Qingrui.
During this period, the Confucian scholars were also busy promoting Prince Fusu's virtuous deeds in various ways, and even published them in the official gazette.
Zhao Qingrui naturally knew about this matter. Xie Peiyun came to tell her personally, and she approved it with a wave of her hand.
Fusu is still her brother. He is not a bad person and he loves her very much. Although he stayed in Langya County during this period, he would send her small gifts from time to time. Sometimes it was really a surprise. It can be said that this brother did a great job.
Fusu had a very good reputation in Daqin, and the article caused quite a stir after it was published in the newspaper.
However, in today's Qin Dynasty, with a court bulletin published every week and books sold in bookstores, there are many exciting things happening every day, and not many people pay attention to Fusu's affairs.
This also frustrated the plans of those Confucian scholars who were planning to cause trouble.
Zhang Liang knew all of this. During this period of time studying with Xie Peiyun, he also became more aware of Zhao Qingrui's influence on the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Xian looked at Mr. Zhang silently. She had met Zhang Liang several times and couldn't help but admire him every time. It was unfair that a man could be more handsome than her.
If he hadn't already got a family, she would have wanted to pursue him.
"Your Highness, this is the official evaluation form for last month submitted by the Imperial Censor Feng Jie." Zhang Liang handed over the official evaluation form brought from Feng Jie.
"Let me see." He put down the pen in his hand. The former parasites in the court were cleared out. Not counting those who came in through this assessment, only half of the officials in the court were left. Even so, there were still three or four hundred people, and these were those with ranks. There were even more without ranks.
Several thick booklets were placed in front of Zhao Qingrui, and he only reviewed some of the government affairs. Fortunately, there was nothing important and there was no need to rush.
Opening the inspection form, the evaluation criteria for the products were exactly as she said, looking at what political achievements had been made, whether any illegal activities had been done, etc. Important things were specially marked.
Looking at the above content, the people in the Censorate are indeed very careful, even recording who is late for work or leaves early.
After quickly looking through the files, Zhao Qingrui only took note of those who were specially marked, and did not ask any more questions about the other more ordinary ones.
The Censorate has been conducting strict inspections during this period, and no one dares to cause trouble during this period, so those who have been submitted on the inspection form have all made contributions.
There are not many people who have made contributions above. The ones who are highlighted are Suling and Gongshujia. Although they have not yet fully understood "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" during this period, they have also produced many things that are beneficial to the Qin Dynasty. These are real achievements.
"Go and call Su Ling, Gongshu Yu, and Feng Jie." Zhao Qingrui gave the order lightly.
If the current conditions did not allow it, they would probably have been able to make the firearms in Tiangong Kaiwu, which are Western cannons.
After a while, Su Ling and Gongshu Yu came over.
Gongshu Xue did not participate in this assessment. She is also a technical geek. Except when she comes out to promote her own ideas, she basically does her own research.
Now that I have "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", I study it day and night.
Zhao Qingrui hadn't seen Gongshu Xue for a long time and didn't know how she was doing now.
However, when Gongshu Yu was in the court, good news came from the Gongshu family from time to time, which was inseparable from the efforts of Gongshu Xue and others.
"Gongshujia and Mohism have made great contributions to our Great Qin. I am going to promote you to higher positions." Zhao Qingrui looked at Su Ling and Gongshu Yu with a smile.
Both of them had big dark circles under their eyes, especially Su Ling. The dark circles on his handsome face were particularly obvious.
"Your Highness, these are what we should do." The two men said hurriedly. They knew very well that they just made these things, and it was not their wisdom. This book was given by Zhao Qingrui, and it was her credit.
"Your Highness, I don't need a promotion. I think the Iron Officer is a good person. Here I can also get more exposure to the manufacturing of ironware." Gongshu Yu said seriously.
The Iron Official was in charge of metallurgy and the manufacture of agricultural tools. Although he was also one of Suling's subordinates, he was quite satisfied with his position.
Before, he was just Tieguancheng, but after a wave of cleaning up of the court, he was promoted.
"I dare not take credit for it. Zhisui is relatively quiet and I like it very much." Su Ling also stood up. He did not want to compete with other people in the court. Zhisui was in charge of the national treasury. This position was important and no one dared to offend it, but it was also relatively quiet.
Zhao Qingrui: What's going on with these two? Is this a promotion? Neither of them wants a promotion or a raise?
"Then what do you want? If it's not excessive, I can approve it directly." Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them kindly. The people from these two families are important scientific researchers and cannot be neglected.
