The first emperor's order attracted a lot of attention again.
Although it is unclear what the First Emperor's intention was in setting up the Maritime Department, the fact that he let Prince Gao take over shows how much His Majesty values this Department.
Of course, they were more concerned about the eldest prince Fusu being transferred back to Xianyang.
Especially those Confucian scholars, headed by Chunyu Yue. It was definitely a surprise from heaven that Fusu was transferred back and appointed as the Chief Censor.
The Chief Censor had great power because he was in charge of the Assistant Censors and the Supervisory Censors of various counties and could order the Censors to criticize and impeach all officials according to the rules.
If they hadn't been concerned about His Majesty, they would have celebrated with drums and gongs.
Chunyu Yue was particularly happy. He didn't expect that His Majesty would agree to this matter directly.
As long as Prince Fusu returns, they will certainly be able to assist him and make His Majesty trust him again.
As long as Prince Fusu becomes the crown prince, everyone has already imagined a bright future.
Meng Yi received the order, and Zhao Qingrui came to the Meng family.
"This is my first time visiting Uncle Meng's house." Zhao Qingrui said with emotion while sitting in the guest house of the Meng family.
"If Your Highness likes, you can come and sit with us anytime." Meng Yi said with a smile. He had watched Zhao Qingrui grow up. He had watched her grow from a lively and lovely little girl to her current position. He also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"When will Uncle Meng leave for Langya County?" Zhao Qingrui nodded with a smile.
"Half a month later, Your Highness, is there anything you want me to do?" Meng Yi asked doubtfully. When Zhao Qingrui came, he was already thinking about her purpose.
"There are some things that I need Uncle Meng's help with. This is the method of making bath salts that I recorded. The current salt production is enough for the people of Qin, and these bath salts are for the nobles to use and generate income for the national treasury. I hope Uncle Meng will pay more attention to it when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui took out the booklet that he had prepared long ago and gave it to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi took it and looked through it, and immediately understood the purpose and function of bath salts.
If it is promoted, the noble ladies will definitely be interested in it.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will take good care of these things." Meng Yi agreed.
"When you have finished products, send them back. I will have someone send some to the nobles in Xianyang to advertise and try to make more money." Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood when he saw Meng Yi agreed.
The court needs money everywhere, and she doesn't want to try to fleece them in this way.
After deciding on the bath salts, Zhao Qingrui talked to Meng Yi about the five-year plan.
Meng Yi went to Langya County again half a month later in order to wait until the five-year plan was finalized.
As an important official in the court, he must attend this meeting.
Speaking of this matter, Meng Yi also became serious. He also knew the value of this five-year plan, which concerned the future of Daqin.
"I am considering the educational issues that Your Highness mentioned. If we want to popularize education, we will certainly encounter a lot of resistance. I have written some plans to promote education." Meng Yi said seriously.
"Uncle Meng's work makes people feel at ease. I know there will be great resistance to these things, but I am powerless and I don't have that much time to think about it. Now that I have Uncle Meng's help, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up.
All she can do for education is to open schools and train teachers across the country.
Before she even started thinking about other things, Meng Yi had already thought of them for her.
"Your Highness, thank you for your kind words. I will have someone bring the manuscript to Your Highness right away." Meng Yi said helplessly.
"No, no, it's enough for Uncle Meng to tell me the general idea." Zhao Qingrui shook his head.
"Okay." Meng Yi didn't force it and expressed his thoughts.
After hearing Meng Yi's words, Zhao Qingrui's eyes lit up. Meng Yi's plan was very detailed. It was obviously not something he had just come up with, but something that had been carefully considered. He explained in detail what schools in various places should do, and even listed what policies the court should introduce.
Uncle Meng is indeed a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty. Someone who can give advice like this is exactly what she needs.
Even if she wanted to be the emperor, she only wanted to make decisions on the general direction and didn't want to take care of the details.
Hoping that the officials of Daqin could give him more surprises this time, Zhao Qingrui began to look forward to other people's plans.
The task she originally assigned was to let them each choose one or two directions to plan, and then summarize and discuss them at the later time. The final result would be decided by the First Emperor himself.
After staying at the Meng family for an afternoon, Zhao Qingrui left with satisfaction. It would take ten days to see what those people planned.
The next day, after the court meeting, when Zhao Qingrui was preparing to go to Zhangtai Palace, he unexpectedly met Concubine Qi, whom his father had favored during this period.
Zhao Qingrui never asked about his father's harem. He only knew a little about the ladies and didn't pay much attention to the others.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Lady Qi bowed respectfully.
Although she was favored during this period, she had no children in the harem, so naturally she had no confidence.
Moreover, His Majesty's favor for the little princess, coupled with those rumors, made everyone in the harem look at the little princess with admiration.
As soon as she came back, she squeezed out Prince Fusu's position. Now His Majesty is even planning to make her the crown prince. This is definitely the biggest news this year.
Zhao Qingrui was looking at the beauty from Qi. She had fair cheeks, almond eyes, a delicate nose, and a cherry mouth. Her light green skirt complemented her perfectly. She walked like a willow swaying in the wind, and her eyes were full of beauty. She was indeed a beauty.
"No need to be so polite." Zhao Qingrui smiled warmly, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
As far as she knew, her father had hundreds of people in his harem, and all of these beauties were pretty. Her father really knew how to enjoy himself.
"Why did Concubine Qi come to Zhangtai Palace?" Zhao Qingrui asked with a smile. People in the harem basically would not come to Zhangtai Palace and Wangyi Palace. She didn't believe that this person would wander around and come to Zhangtai Palace.
I'm afraid he's waiting for her here.
"I am curious about Your Highness and came here to admire His Highness's elegance." Lady Qi said respectfully.
Although this little princess looks young, she is not an easy person to get along with.
Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows, said nothing, and looked at Lady Qi quietly.
"Yesterday, the imperial physician discovered that I am pregnant with Your Majesty's child." Concubine Qi looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"This is good news. Father will certainly be very happy." Zhao Qingrui smiled. Having a child so soon was within expectations. Zhao Qingrui was not surprised at all, but was a little curious about the purpose of this Lady Qi.
"Your Highness is intelligent and favored by His Majesty. I want to share in your blessing. I hope this child can learn more from your Highness as her sister in the future." Lady Qi stroked her belly with her hand, her eyes full of anticipation of becoming a mother.
