When Zhao Qingrui heard the purpose of Gongshu Xue's visit, he raised his eyebrows.
"Sister Gongshu, coal is in short supply nowadays, so I can't give it to you for the time being. I'll have someone deliver what you need to you." After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Qingrui was still not ready to give up the coal mine for the time being.
As someone from the future, she certainly knew the importance of coal mines.
The Qin Dynasty is not strong enough now. If it were strong enough, it would not be a bad idea to give them one or two coal mines for them to forge, but it is not possible now.
"Is that so? Well then, I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness." Gongshu Xue also knew the importance of these coal mines, but the Gongshu family also had a great demand for coal mines.
"It's okay. Next time we find more coal mines, we will definitely satisfy the Gongshu family first." Zhao Qingrui said seriously. These people are her future inventors. She still needs a large number of these people and can't let them down.
"Then on behalf of Gongshujia, I would like to thank Your Highness first." Gongshu Xue immediately felt relieved.
"Sister Gongshu, you are too polite. I have just finished dealing with government affairs. Would you like to go with me to Shanglin Garden?" She looked at Gongshu Xue. After coming to Xianyang, except for Wang Xian and others, she had a very good relationship with Gongshu Xue.
"I am also curious about Shanglin Garden." Gongshu Xue smiled.
Shanglinyuan can be said to be an important place in the court. The Afang Palace is under construction here, and countless grains provided by Zhao Qingrui are grown here.
In the past, people were not allowed to approach Shanglin Garden casually, and she had no idea what it looked like inside.
Sitting in the carriage with Zhao Qingrui and looking at the prosperous Xianyang, in just over a year, the entire Qin Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Xianyang is becoming more and more prosperous." Gongshu Xue said with emotion.
"That's nothing. Xianyang will surely be more prosperous in the future." Zhao Qingrui said confidently. It was just the beginning now and couldn't even compare to the modern 1970s and 1980s.
She is confident that she can make Daqin a better place.
"I admire your highness's ambition." Wang Xian smiled as he held the memorial reviewed by Zhao Qingrui.
After following Zhao Qingrui, she understood her better. Zhao Qingrui said this, and she also believed that she could do it.
Just like when Zhao Qingrui first got involved in government affairs, who would have thought that she would be able to get to this point and make such changes in the Qin Dynasty.
In just over a year, she accomplished what many kings could not do in decades.
"You've also learned to flatter." He glared at Wang Xian.
She is now immune to this flattery, as people say it to her every day.
"I am telling the truth. Your Highness is becoming more and more overbearing. He doesn't even allow me to tell the truth." Wang Xian smiled while holding the memorial.
"Okay, you actually made up a story about me in front of this princess. As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat the snacks made by the cook today." Zhao Qingrui teased in cooperation.
"Ah, no, Your Highness, I am loyal to you and I know I was wrong." Wang Xian shouted.
Gongshu Xue burst out laughing. She thought that under the guidance of His Majesty, Zhao Qingrui would become a qualified monarch and would definitely become more stable and not show his emotions on his face.
Only now did she realize that she was still the same as before, and her worries were completely unnecessary.
"Alright, Sister Gongshu is laughing at me too. I'll punish you along with Wang Xian later. You'll all watch me eat delicious food while you don't get to eat anything."
"Your Highness, you are so cruel." Wang Xian, who was in a state of drama, immediately said with a painful look on his face.
Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but laugh too. She really didn't know that Wang Xian had this side to him.
Ever since Wang Xian became her secretary, she has become mature and steady in her work, and she almost forgot that Wang Xian is just a girl in her teens.
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I'll ask the cook to make some other delicious food for you to try. I guarantee you haven't eaten it before." Speaking of food, Zhao Qingrui felt a little hungry.
Since she had points, she exchanged them for a very thick cookbook and gave it to the cook, asking her to study it. In the future, she can have any kind of banquet she wants.
"What's delicious?" Wang Xian's eyes sparkled. He had a lot of work to do every day, so he could only relax when he got home.
However, there are still many benefits to following Zhao Qingrui. What makes her most satisfied is that there are all kinds of delicious food every day.
Although there were delicious foods every day, she did not gain weight from running back and forth between Shanglin Garden and the palace.
"It's called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I've asked people to collect the ingredients. When it's ready, I invite you to come and taste it. I guarantee it will be so delicious that your tongue will fall off." Zhao Qingrui looked confident.
There are many advantages to being a princess, and she has great power now. Although the food in Daqin is a bit monotonous, it is still easy to get what she wants to eat.
She was also very glad that she was the daughter of the First Emperor. If she had conquered the world, it would not have been so easy.
Now that she has her father to support her, it is so easy for her to do whatever she wants.
"What a strange name." Wang Xian asked curiously.
"It's okay. I'll ask someone to prepare more ingredients and make some other delicious dishes." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
This year, the method of pig slaughtering has spread, and there is now more and more pork in the market of Daqin, so meat dishes have gradually entered the tables of Qin people.
Especially for the nobles, pork without the smell is much easier to obtain than other meats. Although mutton has not been replaced, the consumption of cattle and sheep is not as high.
More and more people are raising pigs among the people. After being castrated, the pigs grow fast again, which makes many people in Guizhou make money.
The economy of the Qin Dynasty became active, the people became rich, and the merchants also made money.
When the reform was first implemented, many people cursed Zhao Qingrui behind her back, but now most people are only grateful to her.
Although land can no longer be bought and sold, there are more other things that can be bought and sold.
Especially the gains from going out to sea. Every time we go out to sea, as long as we come back safely, we can basically make a lot of money.
Although going overseas is risky, it cannot stop those enthusiastic businessmen.
"How delicious is it?" Gongshu Xue asked curiously. Nowadays, there are more food stalls in Xianyang, and the variety of food has also increased a lot.
These ways of cooking all came from Zhao Qingrui's bookstore. Some capable people even improved on these foods.
Zhao Qingrui single-handedly changed the food culture of Daqin.
Many people are grateful to Zhao Qingrui for her contribution to food diversity.
After eating the food made from these recipes, they realized that the things they had eaten before and thought were delicious were actually nothing.
Of course, there were also some dark dishes. Zhao Qingrui looked at the vegetable pancake vendor. The strange sauce on it made Zhao Qingrui feel sick.
