Dad is planning to conquer the whole world, and the amount of money he needs is absolutely astronomical.
Either find him a gold mine, or find a way to make money yourself.
Money, why is it so hard to spend?
"Your Highness, the two prime ministers are here with the test papers." The palace maid hurried in to report.
"Please come in quickly." The test papers and the test results must have been marked by them. Zhao Qingrui showed anticipation. She remembered seeing Lu Zhi taking the test two days ago. She wondered how she did?
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We have lived up to your trust. The results of the official assessment are now out. Please review them, Your Highness." Li Si presented the test papers of the top 50.
"Prime Ministers, please sit down for a moment and let me take a look." There was some fatigue in the eyes of the two men. They must be exhausted from reviewing these things these days.
An education department should also be established to prepare for the promotion of education in the future.
The two prime ministers are not young anymore and have so much work to do every day. She is really afraid that they will collapse from exhaustion at any time.
After reading each test paper and looking at the rankings given by the two prime ministers, I realized that these people deserved their titles.
Zhao Qingrui also found Lu Zhi's name, ranking sixth, among the top.
"Your Highness, this woman is the wife of the criminal Liu Ji. Should we kick her out of the ranking?" Feng Quji twirled his beard.
Although he was not very clear about Liu Ji's situation, he knew that it must be extraordinary for him to be treated specially by His Majesty.
As for Lu Zhi, she was Liu Ji's wife, so she was a bit tricky.
She did quite well in the exam, even outstandingly, which is why they included her in the ranking. If she had done a little worse, they would definitely have ranked her at the back.
"It doesn't matter. The one who committed the crime was her husband. Since my father didn't punish Liu Ji's family, he won't pursue the matter further." Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied holding Lu Zhi's test paper.
She is worthy of being the founding queen of the Han Dynasty. Her learning ability and vision are unmatched by others.
"Your Highness, do you have any objection to the ranking?" Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui, who seemed to be very concerned about this Lu Zhi.
"No need, I am very satisfied. The two prime ministers have worked hard these days." Zhao Qingrui shook his head. The two prime ministers were very fair.
"It's not hard. It's our duty to eat the emperor's salary and share his worries." Feng Quji said seriously.
"The results will be announced as they are. They will be announced during the court meeting tomorrow. The two prime ministers should go back early to have a rest. The Qin Dynasty still needs you. You must not get exhausted." Zhao Qingrui said with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. We will go back and rest in a while." The two said hurriedly.
After seeing the two off, Zhao Qingrui took the test papers and began to read them with great interest.
There are more candidates taking the exam this year, and more talents are selected. There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.
"Father, please take a look at the test papers of the top 50." After reading them, Zhao Qingrui took these things to find Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it and started reading. Like Zhao Qingrui, he was looking at the essay questions. Only these questions could distinguish whether one had real talent and ability.
There are vacancies in Daqin now, and Zhao Qingrui is planning to add many more positions, which require more people to fill these vacancies.
Through these test papers, he seemed to have seen the prosperous scene of the Qin Dynasty.
"This guy called Wei Xi is thoughtful and cautious, and his perspective is novel. Let's take a look at it together later. I would like to test him." Ying Zheng placed his fingertips on the top test paper, which was also the one that made him most satisfied.
And this Wei Xi was also the first choice jointly nominated by Li Si and Feng Quji.
"Wei Xi, a native of Shu County, is a descendant of a family of diplomacy." Zhao Qingrui told what he knew.
"I hope he has the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi." Ying Zheng said expectantly.
"You'll know when you see it later." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Your method of selecting officials is indeed of great use to our Great Qin." Ying Zheng said with emotion. Since the introduction of the official assessment system, many talents have emerged in the court.
"That's right." Zhao Qingrui said proudly. This is the experience summed up by our ancestors over more than a thousand years.
"But it's not perfect yet. The setting of questions and marking of test results are all handed over to the two prime ministers. It's okay now, but as the number of people increases in the future, we will need to set up a special education department." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Tell me about the education department." Ying Zheng said after a moment of thought.
I haven't set out on the expedition yet. While I'm still in Xianyang, I'd like to give my daughter some advice.
"The Ministry of Education is in charge of education-related matters..." Zhao Qingrui explained slowly.
-----------------
On the other hand, the First Emperor issued an order, appointing Xiao He and Cao Shen as the governors of Jiuyuan County and Shang County.
Although His Majesty's intentions are unclear, Jiuyuan County and Shang County have special locations, so His Majesty specially arranged them there.
The intention is self-evident. These two people are valued by His Majesty and will surely be successful in the future.
When the two men left Xianyang, many people came to see them off.
"Please go back, everyone. Thank you for coming to see us off. When we return to Xianyang, I will treat you all to a drink." Cao Shen said readily. He still had to attend the necessary social engagements and could not offend people casually.
"Then we wish you two smooth sailing and a bright future." The others bowed. They also saw that these two people had the trust of His Majesty, otherwise they would not be so eager to curry favor with him.
However, the character of these two people is still trustworthy. In the past two years, although they are not very good at socializing, they get along well with the officials in the court.
As they stepped onto the Qinzhi Road, they were filled with emotion.
"I don't know when I can come back after this trip." Xiao He looked towards the direction of Xianyang, feeling a little reluctant.
He left his family in Xianyang. Shangjun and Jiuyuanjun had special geographical locations, so neither of them took their families with them and went there alone.
"As long as we make achievements in Shangjun and Jiuyuan counties, we will definitely come back." Cao Shen was also reluctant to leave, but he wanted to realize his ambitions more. Shangjun and Jiuyuan counties were good places.
Your Majesty will soon launch an expedition against the Huns, and there will be plenty of opportunities to gain merit.
"Yes, you are right." Xiao He nodded firmly. He also wanted to achieve something.
Zhao Qingrui summoned Li Si, Feng Quji, and the others to the Zhangtai Palace. "Everyone, I went to the grain storage and took a look. The national treasury doesn't have much money and grain right now. I want to generate more income for the country."
"Your Highness, have you made any plans?" Li Si said after a moment of hesitation.
"I do have some ideas, and I'd like you to improve them." Zhao Qingrui nodded.
"I wonder if Your Highness has any good ideas?" Feng Jie asked curiously. The current situation of Daqin is countless times better than before. Last year's tax revenue even hit a new high. It would be quite difficult to generate more revenue for the country.
