Seeing Zhang Liang's straightforwardness, Zhao Qingrui felt even more satisfied.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Liang thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome. Tell me about what happened when you went to Shu County." Zhao Qingrui was quite interested in this matter. Now that she was in charge of government affairs, it was not so easy for her to go out. The most she could do was to stroll around Xianyang.
"Yes." Zhang Liang said respectfully, and then slowly talked about what happened after entering Shu County.
Zhao Qingrui listened attentively. Zhang Liang was quite talented in storytelling.
With his identity as an imperial envoy, the Dingqin Sword in his hand, and the power of the First Emperor, no one dared to disobey him, even in the local areas, so Zhang Liang's trip was relatively smooth.
Listening to Zhang Liang's words, Zhao Qingrui's heart moved slightly. She had guessed that the people of the Qin Dynasty had turned to her, but she didn't expect that the people's support had reached this level.
Very good, very good. In the future, any system that is promulgated should be easier to implement among the people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui felt better.
"You've been busy for so long. I'll give you two days off to have a good rest." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang with concern. The fatigue on his face and the bloodshot eyes made him want to have a good rest.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I will take my leave." He really needed a good rest.
After Zhang Liang retreated, Zhao Qingrui asked someone to take care of the younger generations of nobles who had followed him, and sent some gifts over.
These people have made some contributions along the way. Only by rewarding and punishing them can they be obedient in the future.
After the matter here was resolved, Zhao Qingrui took people to check the registration book of the people.
Today, the territory of the Qin State is much larger than that of the previous Qin State. The establishment of the county system allows the court to better manage it, but it also makes it more troublesome.
Zhao Qingrui didn't come here on a whim; she had been wanting to come for a while.
With the change in policy, the population of Daqin is bound to experience explosive growth, and she must carefully understand these people.
The more Zhao Qingrui flipped through these books, the deeper his frown grew. The names of these people were all strange, and many of them were the same, some were called "mountain", some were called "stone", and some were called "dog".
However, only a few people have surnames.
"Your Highness, is there any problem?" Wei Xi asked cautiously. After working here for more than half a year, he gradually became familiar with the affairs of the court.
After learning about the affairs of the court, he respected Zhao Qingrui even more.
"I remember that you are the heir of the Zongheng family, and your family is just ordinary people. How much do you know about the people?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi. She knew all the outstanding reserve talents in the court, and Wei Xi's name was on the list of outstanding reserve talents.
"Yes, I am a disciple of Mr. Gan Luo." Wei Xi said respectfully.
"Gan Luo? Is he still alive?" Zhao Qingrui was stunned for a moment. Wow, this Wei Xi was from a famous family. Gan Luo was appointed as Shangqing by the First Emperor at the age of twelve. He was a famous child prodigy in history.
Zhao Qingrui was also curious about Gan Luo, and her father had told her about him.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, Gan Luo resigned from his official position and retired. He was not obsessed with power. Ying Zheng knew that he could not keep him, so he let him go. When he left, he also rewarded him with many things so that he could live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, the master is now enjoying his old age." Wei Xi was a little conflicted, but still said seriously.
He was not Gan Luo's first disciple, he just gave him some more guidance.
When I knew that he was going to take part in the assessment of all officials in Xianyang, I reminded him that if His Majesty wanted to recruit him again, he should refuse on his behalf, as he did not like officialdom.
Zhao Qingrui was silent for two seconds. She was enjoying her old age. She remembered that Gan Luo was three years younger than her father. Her father was still alive and well. Gan Luo didn't take those pills, so he was only about fifty years old now.
Although he was considered old in ancient times, Gan Luo had fine clothes and delicious food, no shortage of food and drink, and people to serve him, so he must have lived longer than ordinary people.
Now that he heard the news that Gan Luo is still alive, my father must be very happy.
"Okay, let's not talk about Mr. Gan Luo. Tell me what you know about Qian Shou." Zhao Qingrui sighed lightly. It would definitely be great if a smart man like Gan Luo was invited back to continue serving the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Qingrui was still a little reluctant to let go of such a talent as Gan Luo, so he went back to send some things to Gan Luo through Wei Xi.
"My hometown is Chengdu County, Shu Commandery. There aren't many peasants there, the land is vast and the population is sparse. However, there aren't many places for the peasants to farm, and land annexation was quite serious before. Fortunately, the system established by Your Highness has made life much easier for the peasants in Shu Commandery."
"The lives of the common people are much better now. We have clothes to wear, and fewer people are hungry. My father and his men sent me a letter, saying they wanted to express their gratitude to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"What do the common people do on a daily basis? What difficulties do they face in life?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi.
Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied with the boy's serious attitude. He was indeed a talent she had high hopes for.
"In the past, the people of Qian were responsible for managing the fields. The rest of the time, women were responsible for weaving and taking care of the family, while men were responsible for supporting the family. However, there were also women who managed household affairs and kept the house in order."
"In addition to these, there are also those who have no land at home and can only work for the nobles and gentry. Some who are unwilling to work stay at home and make a living by hunting..."
As Wei Xi described, scenes of the lives of the common people slowly appeared in front of Zhao Qingrui. She was familiar with these things. The Beidi County where she lived was also very poor.
