"Well, you can leave first. By the way, go and call the Minister of Works over." Zhao Qingrui continued to look at the memorial.
After a while, the Minister of Works came over.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"The Western Regions are rich in resources. I need to build a straight road there. Once the prisoners of war are sent back, I will start making arrangements. You should make a plan for me first." Zhao Qingrui gave the order directly.
The Minister of Works was already able to skillfully complete the tasks assigned to him, and the plan was also written very carefully, so Zhao Qingrui directly handed the matter over to him.

After finishing these things, Zhao Qingrui asked someone to send the treasury accounts to her so that she could take a look.
The money in the national treasury increased a lot. Soon, Zhao Qingrui understood the source of the money. Part of the jewelry earned from the Maurya Dynasty had been sold.
It seems that those merchants and wealthy families are very fond of gems. I will ask them to trade more from the Maurya Empire later.
For such expensive items, luxury tax will have to be included in the next five-year plan.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened. Something terrible has happened." The eunuch rushed in from outside.
