"As for the rewards for good performance, please draw up a list for me." Zhao Qingrui looked at Fusu.
"No problem." Fusu did not refuse.
After seeing Fusu off, Zhao Qingrui leaned back in his chair, ate some snacks, and continued to read the memorial.
Judging from the time, Zhang Liang and the others will be back soon.
"Your Highness, this was sent by Lord Xie." Wang Xian walked over and respectfully presented a thick booklet.
"Xie Peiyun, give it here and take a look. It's already the end of the year without us noticing. Time flies so fast." When she saw the booklet, she knew that it was her own property, and it was also a report on the affairs of Jingshui Pavilion.
She had sent out a lot of people before. Although they were not spread throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, her people were present in the fortresses of the Qin Dynasty.
Now she has no need to rebel, so she lets those people develop in various places, and they can also come to Xianyang to take the assessment and embark on a career in officialdom.
However, not many people came back. They continued to do their previous work and also brought Zhao Qingrui a lot of news from various places.
Looking at the account books and reports from various places, Zhao Qingrui quickly became serious from being careless at first.
Looking at her gains for the past year in the account book, Zhao Qingrui felt that the long list of numbers was almost blinding her.
When she came to Xianyang before, her father gave her several farms. In addition to the things her father gave her over the years, most of the harvests from those farms were exchanged for money.
Now that the tax has been distributed based on the amount of land, although the large farms are also being settled, the officials have tacitly left those farms aside and have not distributed the fields within them.
If Zhao Qingrui wanted to continue using it, she could just pay to rent it. She wasn't short of money anyway.
In addition to the manor, there are also those shops in the capital, which account for the bulk of the income. The number of rich people in Xianyang was beyond her expectation.
"There's so much money, I don't even have anywhere to spend it." Zhao Qingrui said in a daze.
"This is a good thing. Who would complain about having too much money?" Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Yeah, with so much money, how do you think I should spend it?" Zhao Qingrui came back to his senses and looked at Wang Xian.
"I don't have any good ideas, and I'm not good at managing money." Wang Xian smiled bitterly.
"That's right. Ask someone to put the money in order, and then ask Lu Zhi to check it." Zhao Qingrui put down the account book.
"promise."
Wang Xian also left. Zhao Qingrui's mind was full of money. She only knew that she had made a lot of money and had almost no energy to review memorials.
After quickly finishing these chores, Zhao Qingrui began to figure out how to spend the money.
Although this amount of money is not as much as the national treasury, if he were not the crown prince, it would be enough for him to squander for many years.
Moreover, his shop is still making money, so he will have no worries for the rest of his life.
But now, with so much money, she wants to do something.
As for food, clothing, housing and transportation, when thinking about travel in later generations, although the Qin Dynasty had the Qin Chi Road and the Qin Straight Road, the speed was still too slow and the efficiency was low.
The distance from Xianyang to Shangjun is not short. My father will go out to conquer the world in the future. As the world becomes bigger and bigger, it will naturally become more difficult to manage.
Communication and travel were both huge challenges. Just like King Zhou of Shang, he conquered such a vast empire, but ended up running too far away and unable to control the princes, which led to the rise of the Zhou Dynasty.
She didn't need to worry about this problem for the time being. She could start working on the communication, but she had no idea.
Compared with communication, the problem of access is easier to solve.
She discovered that Su Ling had a great talent in mechanical manufacturing. He had almost taught himself all the textbooks she gave him, so he should have no problem making a steam engine and an internal combustion engine in the future.
After the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in Mount Li and the Afang Palace was completed, Xianyang was replanned and a large number of roads were built in various places.
There were hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war in Mount Li and Afang Palace. With so many people working together to build Xianyang, the speed must have been very fast.
As for the means of transportation, given the current conditions in Daqin, it would be a bit difficult to get a bicycle.
The ironmaking technology is up to standard, and there are many things involved in the bicycle, especially the materials used for the wheels.
Zhao Qingrui took out the map placed in Zhangtai Palace and his eyes fell on Lingnan. There should be rubber trees there.
Now that she has money, she is not afraid of the hard work anymore.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui went to discuss with Ying Zheng the next day.
"Rubber? What is that?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.
"Rubber has many uses. It can be used to make rubber shoes, rubber boats, and can be used to..." Zhao Qingrui explained in detail what he knew.
"What do you think? Father, do you think this rubber thing is important?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
"Well, it is indeed important, what do you mean?" Ying Zheng nodded seriously, not doubting his daughter's words. According to his daughter, this rubber tree is indeed a treasure.
"There should be some in Lingnan. Rubber has so many uses that I definitely can't finish all the business in this area by myself. The market for rubber is huge. If it is nationalized, it will definitely increase a lot of income for the national treasury." Zhao Qingrui said immediately.
When it comes to increasing revenue for the national treasury, Ying Zheng immediately became interested.
Zhao Qingrui looked at his father's excited expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is his father afraid of being poor?
"In that case, what do you want to do? I'll listen to you." Ying Zheng was eager to try. If he had these, the Qin Dynasty should become better and better.
"Ahem, first of all, we need to find the rubber tree. Now that Zhang Han is staying in Lingnan, how about letting him send someone to look for it first?" Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
