Chapter 309 Find something for Fusu to do
In Xianyang City, the new city is being built rapidly, and countless building materials are sent to Xianyang every day.
Watching the new Xianyang being built bit by bit, Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood.
At the current rate, it will take at most five years to complete the construction of Xianyang New City.
Five years may seem like a long time, but it’s actually not that long.
Sitting in the East Palace, Zhao Qingrui also heard about Master Xie.
"Your Highness, this young man Xie has been studying hard since he entered the academy. However, in his spare time, he often asks students there about matters in the court, and even intends to build good relationships with officials and nobles in the court." Dun Ruo said respectfully.
"Your Highness, this person has ulterior motives and must be guarded against." Wang Xian said seriously.
"I know. There is no rush for this matter. I'll invite this young master to the East Palace to meet him after some time." Zhao Qingrui touched his chin.
"Your Highness is wise." The two said hurriedly.
"Keep paying attention to Master Xie." She continued to give orders. It was impossible for her not to care about the remnants of the six kingdoms right under her nose.
"By the way, how is the situation over there, brother?" Zhao Qingrui asked about Fusu.
"Your Highness, I know that Prince Fusu is now organizing people to guard against harassment from Fuyu and to organize the people of Qian to reclaim wasteland." Wang Xian told Zhao Qingrui what he knew.
"Opening up wasteland, that's fine too." Zhao Qingrui nodded. "Brother has offended the Tian family. Have they caused him any trouble?"
"There are some minor troubles. The Tian family occasionally makes trouble, but Prince Fusu can handle it." Wang Xian said seriously.
"But something happened to the Tian family. Tian Rong from the Tian family is on his way to Xianyang with a caravan." Wang Xian talked about Tian Rong's situation.
"Tian Rong? After he comes to Xianyang, let's keep an eye on him and don't let him cause trouble or even incite the people." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
The remnants of the six kingdoms, including Chu, have been dealt with and have no power to resist. Ji Xin of Yan is currently in the team building the new city of Xianyang. His second half of life is hopeless, and Yan is also unable to fight against the Qin.
Now only Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Han are left.
Han Xin and Zhang Liang, two important figures of the State of Han, were under her command. Zhao Xie of the State of Zhao and Tian Rong of the State of Qi were basically under her surveillance. As for the State of Wei, there is insufficient evidence.
Now the only ones who need her attention are Zhao Xie and Tian's people.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will have people keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble." Dun Ruo said seriously.
After the matter was settled, Zhao Qingrui took Wang Xian on horseback to inspect the farm.
Now that all the crops have been planted, the village is still being renovated according to Zhao Qingrui's requirements, striving to create a scenic leisure resort.
Riding leisurely on his horse, he said, "I really hope that Father can conquer overseas soon. Then I will choose a large island as my own territory and build everything on it according to my preferences."
Zhao Qingrui was looking forward to this matter. Although she was very rich now, she still liked modern life.
Once she has an island, it will be her own territory, and she can buy more good things from the system space and put them there.
"Island? Is it necessary to build a palace there, which is so far away?" Wang Xian didn't quite understand Zhao Qingrui's idea.
"You don't understand. When I have an island, you will know when it is completed. You will definitely want an island by then." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Then I would like to take a good look at it then." Wang Xian said with a smile. She was really looking forward to it.
"How's the fleet going? I heard from Grandpa Wang that the Wang family has put you in charge of the fleet's affairs. How many ships have they built?" Zhao Qingrui asked.
"Not much. Now we are basically building warships, and now we also have to build Xianyang. Timber from all over the place is being sent to Xianyang, and there is not much left." Speaking of timber, Wang Xian began to have a headache again.
"Timber is being consumed in large quantities nowadays. Have the people in the counties organized to plant trees?" This is a big issue and must be taken seriously, Zhao Qingrui asked seriously.
"I'm starting to plant it." Wang Xian said seriously.
"By the way, what do you think about asking merchants to get wood from other places?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Xian.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang Xian asked doubtfully.
"I believe that small countries such as Fuyu, Sushen, and Sindhu are very willing to trade with the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Qingrui narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Not to mention the tariffs, there are also various commercial taxes and various losses along the way. Those merchants are not fools." Wang Xian said hesitantly.
"This is indeed a problem. With so much material, how long will it take to completely build Xianyang?" Zhao Qingrui had a headache.
The new city of Xianyang is already firing red bricks and using various types of glass and tiles for construction, in an effort to minimize the use of wood, but this also consumes a huge amount of wood.
If the current anti-rust technology was not so poor, she would have wanted to use iron to build large ships. Unfortunately, the military consumed more iron, so she couldn't use it to build large ships.
Technology, we still need to develop technology.
When the next five-year plan comes, we must come up with plans for the development of various technologies, and also propose various incentive measures. It would be best to publicize them more and let everyone know about them, so that everyone can actively improve various things.
If you want to live a better life, you have a long way to go.
The court was relatively peaceful, with only the same daily affairs and trivial matters from all over the country.
"Your Highness, the people of Fuyu have repeatedly invaded our border, and there are troops stationed in Liaodong County. We must strike hard against these bandits." Fusu wrote another letter to the emperor about the disturbances caused by Fuyu in Liaodong County, but Zhao Qingrui did not take any action. Wasn't there someone in the court who came to advise him?
