"In order to ensure the fairness of the parliament, this vote will be conducted anonymously. These papers will be distributed to you. You just need to write down your yes or no. Then put them all in this box when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui stood in front of Ying Zheng and said to the officials below.
As she finished speaking, Wang Xian led his men to distribute paper and pens.
The people in the court looked at each other in surprise. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had so many tricks up his sleeve.
However, this is indeed fairer.
No one objected, and soon everyone wrote down their decisions on paper. Then Wang Xian led his men to carry the box and put the papers back into the box.
"Zhang Liang, you come and count, count in front of everyone." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang.
"Yes." Zhang Liang bowed.
As the votes were added up, and more and more people agreed to establish a weapons research department, those Confucian scholars felt as if they had lost their parents and felt that the situation was hopeless.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the statistics have been completed. There are 372 votes in favor of establishing the Weapons Research Department, and 28 votes against." Zhang Liang reported the statistical results.
There are not many officials on duty in the Qin court, only more than 400 in total. This number seems a lot, but in fact it is still not enough. The court still needs a lot of talents, and even more talents are needed in various parts of the Qin.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. It seems that the establishment of the weapons research department is what everyone wants." Ying Zheng laughed heartily. He was very clear about the little tricks those Confucian scholars had done behind the scenes. Now that he saw that their plans had come to nothing, he felt particularly happy in his heart.
"The research on weapons has made unprecedented contributions to our Great Qin and is what the people want." Zhao Qingrui said loudly.
"Long live His Majesty, long live the Great Qin." Everyone shouted along, the establishment of this department was indeed necessary.
Only when the Qin Dynasty becomes strong will their lives be better.
Ying Zheng looked at the people kneeling below, stood up from the dragon throne, and his blood boiled in his heart. This was the Qin Dynasty under his rule, the Qin Dynasty that people wanted.
This dragon throne was specially made by a craftsman. Ever since he sat on the bench from Zhao Qingrui, he no longer liked banquets. Sitting on a bench was more comfortable.
"Everyone, please stand up." Ying Zheng stood above, raised his hands, and looked solemn.
"The importance of weapons research is already known to you all. Now that it has been established, Gongshujia is unmatched in weapons research. Gongshu Yu will be the head of the weapons research department. The personnel of the weapons research department will be temporarily transferred from Gongshujia. The personnel needed in the future will be selected by the court, and the materials needed will be..." Ying Zheng quickly arranged the matter.
"Your Majesty, I, Gongshu Yu, will definitely live up to your expectations. I am willing to devote my life to the research and development of Qin's weapons until my death." Gongshu Yu said excitedly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Others also hurried to flatter him.
Ying Zheng raised the corners of his lips. The situation in the court was really good now. It was not like when his daughter had not come back yet. Whenever he wanted to do something, a lot of people would oppose him.
"Everyone, stand up and continue our discussion." Ying Zheng returned to his throne. "A flash flood has struck Shu County, affecting several villages. The court is planning to send personnel there. Everyone, do you have a good disaster relief plan?"
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial." Li Si stood up, the plan had already been written.
Apart from the two items Zhao Qingrui asked him to add yesterday, there were no other problems.
"Permitted." A majestic voice sounded above everyone's head.
"The governor of Shu County has already opened the granaries to release grain. What needs disaster relief now are the people's houses and various daily necessities. The terrain of Shu County is dangerous, and it is difficult to transport supplies..." Li Si slowly explained his plan.
There are many mountains in Shu County, but the land inside is fertile, with rivers, fertile fields, forests, bamboos, sparse crops and abundant fruits. It is one of the few wealthy places in Daqin.
In general, the plank road is a bit inconvenient. After the disaster relief, we need to find a way to open the mountain and build a road to better connect Shu with other counties.
When the topic of money was brought up, there was another quarrel in the court.
Ying Zheng was also a little unhappy. He was planning to save more money, then defeat the Xiongnu and Yuezhi tribes, and then go out to sea to travel.
To do these things, you can't do it without money.
"Let's discuss the road construction later. The national treasury is currently using money to supply the army and various parts of the court, so we can't come up with any extra money for the time being." Ying Zheng said lightly.
Ying Zheng spoke, and Li Si had no objection. This road had to be built sooner or later, so there was no harm in waiting.
Then they began to discuss disaster relief. The disaster this time was not serious, and the county governor had already been ordered to open the granaries and release grain, so the court was not in a hurry.
However, the volunteer incident that Zhao Qingrui brought up made many people fall into deep thought. This is a good opportunity to gain experience and win the hearts and minds of the people. Even if he embarks on a career in politics in the future, there will be many benefits.
Therefore, Li Si and Feng Quji have called all the free people among their younger generations.
"Your Majesty, I am a useless person, but I am willing to contribute to the Qin Dynasty." Feng Quji said with great righteousness.
"I think so too." Li Si said seriously. Although his family had just risen to prominence, he had several sons and many grandsons. Some of the older grandsons were already preparing for the official assessment.
Seeing Li Si and Feng Quji respond in this way, some smart people had already understood the intention and responded quickly.
"My dear ministers, you are worthy of being the pillars of our Great Qin. I will remember your contributions for your sacrifices for the Great Qin." He pretended to be moved. How could he not know what these people were planning?
