The corner of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched, "Father, don't worry. I'm not planning to get married for the time being."
She thinks that the current situation is good. She also practices physical skills and will definitely live a long life. Let her enjoy the happiness of being single.
Upon hearing what Zhao Qingrui said, Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned dark. Although he wanted his little girl to inherit the throne, he also wanted her to get married.
Besides, Zhao Qingrui is not young anymore, so it’s time to start dating.
There were no particularly outstanding young people in the court, and he looked down upon any of them. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng began to worry again.
Seeing that His Majesty looked worried, Shusun Tong lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Zhao Qingrui's situation is somewhat special. His Majesty has chosen her to be the heir, and he has no idea how to prepare for her marriage.
Moreover, given Zhao Qingrui's current situation, which of the families in Xianyang, such as the Feng, Meng, and Wang families, would be willing to marry their most outstanding young man to her? She is the future pillar of the family. If he marries the princess, he may have to stay in the harem for the rest of his life. Only a fool would do that.
Therefore, even though Zhao Qingrui is now of the right age, and even though she is the most beloved daughter of the First Emperor, many people are too honest to dare to move.
Those who wanted Princess Shang, especially Zhao Qingrui, had no choice but to give it some thought.
At present, His Majesty's intentions are unclear, so they pretend not to know about this matter.
As for Zhao Qingrui, she didn't care about this matter at all. She was still so young and there was no need to be so anxious.
"Hmph, how about I choose a few people for you later?" Ying Zheng also had a headache and said tentatively.
"No." Zhao Qingrui quickly refused. She was not interested in supporting so many people who ate and drank for free.
After checking these things, on the way back, Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Zhao Qingrui and said, "Qingrui, how about I open up the Zhanshi Mansion? It's just a decoration if it's empty. After it's opened, you can let the people in the Zhanshi Mansion assist you."
It seems that there are not enough people around my daughter, as there are quite a few positions in the Zhanshi Mansion.
The Zhanshi Mansion serves the crown prince, and Zhao Qingrui is the crown prince in his mind.
"Then there will be countless gossips." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
Although the Qin Dynasty set up the Zhanshi Mansion, it was never opened. Even though Fusu was favored by Ying Zheng, he was still just the eldest prince, not the crown prince, and he could not use anything in the Zhanshi Mansion.
"Whoever dares, I will go and chop them all to pieces." Ying Zheng said domineeringly. He would not allow anyone to criticize his daughter.
"Please calm down." Zhao Qingrui held his arm and said, she didn't want to enjoy being criticized by those Confucian scholars in court every day. She was very tired now.
"Forget it, let's wait a little longer." Seeing that his daughter was unwilling, Ying Zheng sighed and decided to wait until Zhao Qingrui became the crown prince before letting her take charge of the Zhanshi Mansion.
Seeing that her father had given up, Zhao Qingrui breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her father would get impulsive and issue an imperial decree.
Yin Man was going to get married soon, and Zhao Qingrui was a little reluctant to let her go. Fortunately, she was getting married not far away, in Xianyang.
As the days passed, all the tax grain from all over the country was sent to Xianyang. Zhisu was completely unable to hold all the grain, so several extra-large warehouses had to be built again.
"Father, why don't we tear down all those palaces and temples in Xianyang? They take up too much space." Zhao Qingrui frowned as he looked at the map of Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui in silence, the father and daughter stared at each other, and in the end, Ying Zheng was defeated.
"Tear it down, tear it down. This thing is disgusting to look at. It's better to tear it down." Ying Zheng said with a headache. This thing is simply a shame. Every time he looks at those palaces and pavilions, they remind him of the stupid things he has done.
"Well, I'm glad that you can figure it out. It just so happens that demolishing these palaces and temples can free up a lot of land. I plan to include this place in the scope of Xianyang and move all the residents of Xianyang there." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui deeply.
"I want to re-plan Xianyang City. Those palaces and temples are near Xianyang, with a range of more than 200 miles. When the time comes, I will build more houses and move the capital of Qiandu in Xianyang there, while rebuilding the interior of Xianyang City." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"This will require a lot of manpower and resources." Ying Zheng was silent for two seconds. His daughter was so troublesome. When would he be able to lead the army in person?
"We've made a lot of money from those mirrors, and we'll continue to make money in the future. Xianyang is our territory, so we should do whatever we want. Xianyang now isn't dirty or messy, but it's not much worse. I also want to make Xianyang better."
"Furthermore, with Xianyang as an example, I plan to re-plan all the counties and prefectures in Daqin."
"You're so ambitious! You want to rebuild everything. I'm afraid it will take years, even decades, to finish." Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. The flowers he'd waited for had all wilted. He wanted to go to war against the Xiongnu, he wanted to go out to sea to conquer those overseas lands!
"Well, I know. This matter can be done slowly. As long as Xianyang is rebuilt, those people will know the benefits of Xianyang and will definitely actively carry out my plan." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
There haven't been many government affairs these days. When she followed Yin Man to visit Xianyang, she saw the chaos in Xianyang and wanted to make changes.
After all, Xianyang is located under the emperor's feet, so it can be dirty and messy, let alone other places.
In order to make herself live more comfortably, Zhao Qingrui took the initiative to add more burdens to herself.
"I remember that according to the five-year plan, a large shipyard will be built starting next year. This will cost a lot of money. If you continue to do this, will the national treasury still be able to take out money to build the shipyard next year? Will there still be money to build various weapons for the army?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui helplessly.
The father and daughter continued to stare at each other. Zhao Qingrui felt that the last sentence of her father's words was the key point.
Fortunately, the Qin State is making money quickly now, so we just need to be careful when doing things so as not to cause the treasury to be empty.
"My father's imperial mausoleum is almost finished now. I plan to suspend the construction of the Qinzhi Road and the Qinchi Road. I plan to replace all the construction materials with cement,..." Zhao Qingrui talked about his plan.
The construction of the imperial mausoleum is almost complete. As long as it is not built like the one of Qin II, it will be enough to seal it in the second half of next year.
By then, a large number of manpower will be freed up, and what to do with these people will also be a big problem.
After all, it is the construction of the imperial mausoleum. At least according to my father's opinion, these people, especially the craftsmen, should all be killed to prevent the imperial mausoleum from being stolen.
