Chapter 151 A Career that Benefits the Country and the People



"The Dingqin Sword and the Lulu Sword were given to me by my father. I would just keep them as decorations. It would be better to make better use of them. Besides, I will take back these tokens after they come back." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"Giving them such broad powers is simply to prevent them from encountering obstacles during their investigations."

Zhao Qingrui was very calm. He took out the Ding Qin Sword and the Lu Lu Sword after careful consideration. Only these two items could represent his father, and there was no need to worry about the local officials fooling the imperial envoy.

"However, both the Dingqin Sword and the Lulu Sword represent His Majesty. Your Highness, aren't you afraid that they will possess His Majesty's swords and do something inappropriate?" Li Si did not quite agree with this matter.

Zhao Qingrui directly decided the matter in the court. There was nothing wrong with her decision on this matter. The main problem was that she gave too much power, which made them a little worried.

"I asked the Chief Censor to go with them just to restrain them. You can rest assured. Whoever dares to use my father's sword to do evil will be the first one to be dealt with by me." Zhao Qingrui looked stern.

The imperial envoys she chose this time were Xiao He and Lin Yi, both of whom she had paid attention to in advance. Needless to say, she wanted to promote Xiao He, and Lin Yi, who had good abilities and an upright character, was a good candidate to be an imperial censor.

"Your Highness, it's good that you understand," Feng Quji pondered. Regardless, whether they were special envoys or imperial envoys, they were only on a business trip. Even if they had great power, so what? It would only take a short while. How could they pose a threat? There was nothing to worry about.

Since Feng Quji had already spoken, the others didn't say much.

"Your Highness asked us to come here to discuss disaster relief?" Meng Yi asked.

"Yes, I want to discuss an effective disaster relief plan with you." Zhao Qingrui nodded seriously. Her father's group of people are all quite old, and she feels a little guilty for always looking for them when she has something to do.

"The number of people affected by the disaster this time is not large, and the area is not large. We can directly issue disaster relief orders to the local county governor, and the expenditure of money and grain is not that large." Li Si said seriously.

In his opinion, this little disaster was nothing.

"Even if the number of people affected is small, we should still take it seriously." Zhao Qingrui felt a little dizzy when he saw the way people treated human lives as worthless.

"Your Highness is considering the people of Guizhou. They will certainly be grateful to you." Feng Quji smiled.

Nearly a thousand people were killed or injured. Compared with the population of more than 20 million in Daqin, this number was not large and did not attract their attention.

However, disaster relief is still necessary, otherwise no one will believe in the court, and the remnants of the six kingdoms will use this as an opportunity to make a big fuss.

The corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. I asked you to come up with ideas, not to flatter me.

"Your Highness, I feel that the areas affected by the disaster are not that many. We need to carefully consider how to rebuild the villages destroyed by mountain torrents. As for the river bursting its banks, I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year, and we need relief from the court. However, with so many people, it is a huge expense for the court to support them." Meng Yi sighed.

"Yes, these are all issues that need to be considered." Zhao Qingrui really wanted to throw these troublesome matters to the officials below, let them write a detailed plan, and he would make the final decision.

Instead of what is happening now, she needs to consider everything.

Dad is such a liar. He grabbed his sleeves in annoyance. In front of these people, he is just a junior and still needs to pay attention to his image.

"How much do you know about the situation in these two places?" No, the court cannot keep these people for nothing, it must come up with a good solution.

"Your Highness, I know a little about it." Feng Quji said seriously, and then briefly explained the situation in the two places.

The area where the flash flood broke out is close to the mountains, very poor, and far away from the county town, making disaster relief difficult.

The several villages whose fields were flooded are located in a vast plain area.

Zhao Qingrui touched his chin. If he opened some factories in these two places to boost the economies of the two places, with ready-made labor force, he only needed to find a suitable route for their development.

Zhao Qingrui told them about his ideas and wanted to ask them if they had any good ideas.

"It's unrealistic to expect all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation to develop all at once." Feng Quji frowned. The emergence of the salt workshop made the Qin treasury increasingly rich, and they were not very opposed to this kind of thing.

"Moreover, if Your Highness opens a workshop, it's best to make it the same as the salt workshop. Otherwise, someone will criticize Your Highness and say that you are competing with the people for profit." Meng Yi said seriously. Those Confucian scholars were very idle every day and just stared at Zhao Qingrui.

"That's right, it would be best if this workshop benefits the country and the people." Feng Quji agreed. In fact, he didn't really like dealing with that group of Confucian scholars.

"It benefits the country and the people." Zhao Qingrui's eyes flashed, and he thought of the production of handmade soap, toothpaste and mosquito coils that are essential for time travelers.

Although these two things are not good things, they can be maintained for a long time and can make money.

She can make both of these things. Although mosquito coils cannot be made into a coil, they can be made into straight ones.

——————

After seeing them off, Zhao Qingrui asked Chunxi to bring over the talents brought from Jingshui Pavilion.

Everyone in Jingshuiting uses handmade soap and mosquito coils. She quickly wrote down the production method.

"This is how to make these things. Fang Huan, you search for them. When the time comes, you can visit the two places and decide what's suitable for production. For now, build the factory first. I've already sent the person in charge of red bricks to the two places to set up brick factories..."

After everything was arranged, Zhao Qingrui relaxed completely and lay down on the desk, not wanting to move.

However, the thick stack of memorials placed on the desk was so noticeable that she couldn't ignore it.

She also wanted to just throw these things here and pretend not to see them.

Finally, she gave in, got up and started working.

Throughout the whole day, Zhao Qingrui felt that her schedule was fully scheduled and she had no time to do her own personal affairs.

He scratched his hair in pain. He still had to supervise the country for five more days. It seemed so long.

How about urging Dad to start the reform now? Thinking about the situation in Daqin, it is still relatively stable now, but it is still too poor to withstand major changes. Zhao Qingrui was discouraged.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, think about something happy.

The only thing that makes her happy at the moment is to follow her father on tour. Since she was a child, she has only been to Xianyang except for the days at Jingshui Pavilion. She has never been to other places.

This poor Qin Dynasty needs to be developed quickly. When she went out to play, she suddenly realized that she could only go to see the scenery, and there was nothing else that attracted her.
