After persuading Gan Luo, Zhao Qingrui stayed in Shu County for a few days.
In the past few days, Gan Luo tested her on a lot of knowledge. It seems that Gan Luo really cares about her.
Fortunately, since her father let her get involved in political affairs, he asked Shusun Tong to teach her various subjects, and Shusun Tong really has real skills.
In addition to studying with Gan Luo, Zhao Qingrui also learned about the situation in Shu County with Gan Luo.
The mountains in Shu County are high and the roads are dangerous. Now that the road has been built, the people of Shu County can trade with those merchants, making their lives much better.
Zhao Qingrui followed Gan Luo on the road and looked at the smiling faces of those people. It seemed that they had a bumper year.
In the small village, some people were discussing the crops to be planted after the spring, and some were talking about breeding experiences.
Of course, there are also many people who praise Zhao Qingrui's achievements.
"Your Highness enjoys a very high reputation among the people." Gan Luo said seriously while looking at the girl beside him.
These newly emerged seeds had extremely high yields and even tasted delicious. They undoubtedly consolidated the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
These things belong to Zhao Qingrui. He doesn't know whether they are true or not, but she has indeed done a lot for the people of Qian. She is a person who truly cares about the people of Qian.
"I know all this. I grew up in the countryside and I know how hard life is for the common people. That's why I want to do more." Zhao Qingrui laughed from the bottom of his heart and thought those common people were quite cute.
"Your Highness has done so many things, those nobles should regard you as an enemy." Gan Luo chuckled.
"Yeah, he wanted to pull out my tendons, skin me, drink my blood and eat my flesh." Zhao Qingrui chuckled. She was able to withstand the pressure and modify the system of the Qin Dynasty because of her father's full support, as well as the support of Feng Quji and others. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth.
"It is because of those nobles that the Qin Dynasty has achieved its current unity. Your Highness, if you take action against them, aren't you afraid of backlash?" Gan Luo looked at Zhao Qingrui. Although he was in the countryside, he knew about Zhao Qingrui's situation and knew that several important officials in the court had already joined her.
"I didn't force them into a dead end. I also gave them opportunities. Those I killed were all criminals and those who firmly opposed me. I just killed the chicken to scare the monkey. I want to make Daqin stronger, and these obstacles should be cleared away." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
Now that she is in power, she is very clear about how much power she holds. Although she has not yet become the emperor, she is not far behind.
The enormous power in her hands sometimes makes her a little afraid. She is afraid that she will sink into this power, so she must stay sober enough.
As for those who resisted her policies, they were either those who were determined to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and even looked down on women, or they were nobles who had done many wrong things, such as annexing land on a large scale.
These people deserved no death, as they were all stumbling blocks to the Qin Dynasty's prosperity.
"If they insist on going against Your Highness, or even join the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, what will Your Highness do?" Gan Luo looked at the domineering girl in front of him. She really looked like his former majesty, decisive and ruthless in killing, as a monarch should be.
"Just kill him. After all, only a minority have such thoughts. You will know when you follow me back to Xianyang. If someone does this, I don't mind letting them know what cruelty is." Zhao Qingrui said calmly. She always knew that she was not a good person.
After he came to power, especially when the land system was changed, it can be said that rivers of blood flowed. He gave the order to kill these people.
She is not afraid of killing.
"I'm very interested in Xianyang now. I heard from Wei Xi before that Xianyang is very lively now. I'm used to the quietness in the countryside, so I want to go and see it." Gan Luo said softly.
"That will definitely not disappoint Mr. Gan Luo. There are many interesting things in Xianyang. I also plan to let Mr. Gan Luo and my servant Zhao Wen have a competition." Zhao Qingrui looked at Gan Luo with a smile.
Given Gan Luo's arrogance, he would definitely not agree if someone directly ordered him to study under Zhao Wen.
It would be better to let him communicate more with Zhao Wen in the name of exchange. She believed that with Zhao Wen's ability, he would definitely be able to impress Gan Luo.
Gan Luo didn't know what Zhao Qingrui was planning, but after spending a few days with her, he admired her more and more, and was looking forward to the days after going to Xianyang.
On the day of his departure, knowing that Gan Luo was leaving, the chief of the Qian capital in the village came to see him off.
Since Gan Luo moved here, he would help any family in the village that was in trouble, and he would also teach any smart child, just like he did with Wei Xi, who became a talented official of the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing so many people coming to see him off, Gan Luo felt deeply moved.
He didn't help these people much. He just did what he could. These people were so simple and honest that people didn't know what to say.
"Fellow villagers, please go back. Gan Luo feels unworthy of receiving these things." Looking at the things sent by the villagers, Gan Luo said seriously.
"Mr. Gan has taught my grandson quite a few words. This is what you deserve." An old woman said seriously.
"Yes, Mr. Gan, please accept it quickly. We don't lack food now, so don't worry."
They didn't know Gan Luo's origins, but everyone remembered the help he had given to the village.
Especially since Gan Luo could read and write, the villagers respected him even more.
In the end, Gan Luo accepted all these things. The whole carriage was filled with precious food from the village, as well as bacon and eggs.
