"Brother Zhou, you are too polite. I am already old, and my children and grandchildren at home are not doing well. If I don't take care of them, they probably won't be able to survive after I'm gone." Chunyu Yue sighed.
This is indeed what he is really worried about. The court is changing too fast now. If you can't keep up with the changes in the court, you will be eliminated.
Although he had a good relationship with Fusu, it was impossible for Fusu to always help him support his descendants.
In order to make life easier for the younger generations in the future, he decided to teach them more while he was still able to move, and strive to help them become successful.
As for continuing to follow Zhou Yan, forget it. It's too tiring. This guy always gives him bad ideas to execute, and he has been unhappy about it for a long time.
Zhou Yan's face changed. He didn't expect Chunyu Yue to say this. He looked at him in disbelief.
"Brother Chunyu, have you really thought it through?"
"There's nothing to think about. Prince Fusu has given up. What's the point of us fighting over these things?" Chunyu Yue put down the teacup and said lightly. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he had no other choice.
"If Prince Fusu is unwilling, His Majesty still has more than ten princes. It is not her turn as a woman to sit in that position." Zhou Yan said coldly. He did not expect Chunyu Yue to give in so quickly. Without Chunyu Yue's help, they would be more difficult in the future.
"Then I wish Brother Zhou to find a powerful leader as soon as possible." Chunyu Yue bowed and said indifferently.
I don't know where this guy got the confidence from. How could those young masters compare to Zhao Qingrui? As long as the First Emperor is alive, these people can't make any waves.
Seeing Zhou Yan's look as if he was going to fight to the death with Zhao Qingrui, Chunyu Yue felt a headache. This guy must have had his head stuck in the door.
Stay away from Zhou Yan as soon as possible to avoid being implicated by him.
In the past two years, he has gone against Zhao Qingrui so many times, but he has never succeeded. He has been cheated every time, which has made the reputation of the Confucian scholar worse and worse.
People at the academy began to feel dissatisfied with them. After all, they could not fully represent the Confucian scholars.
"Hmph, thank you Brother Chunyu for your hospitality today. I have something else to do." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhou Yan walked out of Chunyu Yue's mansion angrily. The cold wind blew on his face outside. His face looked really bad. Even the servants waiting for him outside were so scared that they dared not speak.
Various reports for the end of the year were submitted. Since these were standardized, various affairs in the court have become orderly. Zhao Qingrui looked through this year's tax report with a smile on his face.
Since she started to manage the government, she has also looked at the tax revenue of the past few years.
However, this year's tax revenue was the sum of several previous years combined. Seeing the rapid replenishment of the national treasury, not only was Zhao Qingrui in a good mood, even Ying Zheng's always serious face softened.
"Your Highness, these are the results of the promotion assessment for officials at the end of this year. Please take a look." Feng Jie presented the assessment results to Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui took a look and found that the records of the Censorate were very detailed. Not only the results of the examinations, but also the records of the Censorate's daily supervision were all on it, which were very detailed.
"Go and invite the emperor. Wang Xian, you go and invite the two prime ministers, my elder brother and Lord Meng." After closing the record book, Zhao Qingrui instructed the people around him.
Many of the people Feng Jie recorded this time were hers, and she was quite happy about it. The abilities of these people did not disappoint her.
The number of officials has increased this year. The promotion of so many officials requires the consent of the two prime ministers and my father. In addition, some of them are promotions of military generals, which involves a wide range of people.
When Ying Zheng came, he walked with the wind. If he collected the same amount of taxes this year, it would be enough for him to have food and fodder to fight the Huns.
It turns out that my daughter is really capable. These changes are all made by her.
Li Si handed the record book to the eunuch, feeling deeply moved. It seemed that this five-year plan was really useful. The Qin Dynasty had become much stronger, and more talents had emerged.
When they saw the First Emperor coming, everyone saluted respectfully.
"No need to be so polite, just sit down." Ying Zheng was in a good mood and sat next to Zhao Qingrui.
"Father, the official inspection books are all here, please take a look." Zhao Qingrui diligently placed the inspection books in front of his father. It was not easy to invite his father to work in Zhangtai Palace.
After taking a look at his attentive daughter, Ying Zheng's mouth twitched.
I have looked through the inspection book since then. I was a little surprised to see that many talents have emerged this year.
The memorials submitted before also mentioned which places and which departments had made contributions. I didn’t think it was a lot before, but now that they are compiled together, I didn’t expect there to be so many.
There were so many talents in the Qin Dynasty that Ying Zheng was a little dazed. So many talents really gave him a big surprise.
Before, he thought his daughter's wish to popularize education was unrealistic, but now he felt that education must be promoted. If the court was full of talents like Li Si and Feng Quji, then the Qin Dynasty would surely become more powerful.
"Qingrui, these people have made a lot of contributions, and Feng Jie has also put forward a plan for their promotion. What do you think?" Ying Zheng subconsciously asked Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui, who was sitting in his seat and ready to be a background board, widened his eyes. Why did his father push this matter to him again?
"I'll sit down and watch." Zhao Qingrui smiled sideways.
Seeing this girl playing tricks on him, Ying Zheng felt a little itchy and wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Speak nicely." There are outsiders here, and this girl doesn't even pay attention to her image. Didn't she see those old guys laughing secretly?
"Your Majesty, please make the decision. I believe your decision is the wisest." Zhao Qingrui immediately sat up straight and spoke righteously.
There are so many officials. Even if Feng Jie selected a group of them, there are still quite a few of them. If he has to take care of them all, he will be exhausted to death.
Ying Zheng clenched the book in his hand and said, "Hurry up, or else you will be the one taking care of all these things."
"Okay." He stopped being naughty and honestly expressed his thoughts.
"The promotion system for court officials is gradually being improved. The military generals need your consideration, Father. But for the civil officials, I think those who have made contributions should be divided into several levels and promoted according to the size of their contributions. As for those who have made less contributions, they can be directly rewarded with money." He pondered.
"There are various things collected in the warehouse. The most this year are grain and cloth. You can give us some of these." Zhao Qingrui said seriously. Doing so will also motivate these officials to do better in the future. Anyway, these things are not worth much.
"You can also add some expensive things in it." Ying Zheng added that he has always been generous to his own people, not to mention that he is not short of money now.
