"Don't worry, little sister, I saved it." Fusu said helplessly. Is he so worrying?
"By the way, there is another important thing here. A large iron mine was discovered here. It was discovered yesterday, and I haven't had time to write a memorial to my father." Fusu said seriously.
"Iron ore, this is a good thing. Daqin uses iron in so many places." Zhao Qingrui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's indeed good news. I heard from the explorers that the reserves of this iron ore should be quite large. It will definitely allow the Qin Dynasty to make more armor and weapons." Fusu also had a slight smile on his face.
Although he is no longer the crown prince, he is still loyal to the Qin Dynasty.
The weapons of the Qin army have always been insufficient. With this iron mine, the conditions will definitely improve a lot.
"Brother, have you sent anyone to guard it?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Fusu.
"I have sent someone over. I plan to write a letter to my father tomorrow. People from the court will definitely come to take over." Fusu nodded. How could he ignore such an important matter?
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Qingrui was immediately relieved. This brother was doing the right thing.
"Alas, if there were enough iron ore, I would have wanted to create something else." Then, Zhao Qingrui said with some regret.
"Our Great Qin is so big, there must be a lot of iron mines. Why are you so anxious, little sister?" Fusu chuckled. He knew that his sister had big ambitions, unlike him.
"Brother is right. In addition to Daqin, there must be iron mines in other places. Iron tools will definitely become popular in the future." Zhao Qingrui nodded. There is indeed no need to be impatient.
Under her influence, Daqin has been developing at a high speed and cannot speed up any further. It must slow down, otherwise Daqin will encounter problems sooner or later.
-----------------
Zhao Qingrui stayed in Liaodong County for two more days. After knowing that she was in Liaodong County, all the officials and soldiers of the county came to pay their respects to her. She could not refuse them, so she stayed in Liaodong County for two more days.
Since he did not hide his identity here, Zhao Qingrui returned to Shangjun in a grand manner.
Several nearby counties have already assigned her corvée labor to carry out construction, and the construction is now in full swing.
After so much corvee labor was distributed to several counties, Zhao Qingrui suddenly felt that there were still not enough people doing the work.
She was thinking about recruiting some more people to work.
But she gave up soon. It was the autumn harvest time and the people of Qiandu were busy with work in the fields.
The matter of recruiting the common people had to be postponed, at least until after the autumn harvest.
"Your Highness, I have already found out. All the prices on the market are listed in this booklet." Liu Ji took a small booklet and handed it to Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui took it calmly. Although there was a little more rain this year, the crops were not affected.
Zhao Qingrui's main purpose was to understand the current prices in Daqin.
Zhao Qingrui opened the booklet and read it quickly, knowing the prices of all the items.
With the large-scale grain harvest, the market price of grain has dropped a little, especially the old grain.
Fortunately, the fluctuation of grain prices was not large, otherwise the imperial court would have to step in to coordinate.
"Let the carriage speed back to Shangjun." Zhao Qingrui ordered.
I don’t know how much money Yuan Shenbai has raised. With so much grain and the price being so cheap, she has to buy a batch of it. However, relying solely on the money and grain allocated by the court is definitely not enough.
Shangjun is particularly busy during this period, with many merchants coming and going.
Many people know about the construction of the school, and Zhao Qingrui is planning to build school district housing, so many people are still interested in this matter.
This was proposed by Zhao Qingrui, and it was in cooperation with the court. There were still many people interested in it. Following the court, even if there were some losses, as long as they could establish good relations with the court, they would make a profit.
Of course, there is no shortage of people watching the fun.
Zhao Qingrui's action directly made Shangjun even more lively.
On the other hand, Wang Yuan, who was patrolling with soldiers, also encountered many people looking for trouble along the way. The construction of the school made many nobles feel a sense of crisis. Even if they did not stop it openly, they found a lot of trouble in secret.
Of course, there were also a few people who openly obstructed and caused trouble.
Wang Yuan held the Ding Qin Sword, and these people were directly arrested by him. The mastermind behind the scenes, and even his entire family were arrested.
They arrested people as they went, and the number of people they arrested was almost enough to form a whole group of prisoners.
There were men, women, young and old in the team, and many of them were dressed in fancy clothes.
Along the way, Wang Yuan had no intention of helping these people to conceal their actions. Wherever he went, he asked the loudest men in the army to go to the downtown area and spread the news of these people's actions.
He also wrote down what they had done on paper and spread it everywhere he went.
Paper is cheap now, and even the capital of Guizhou can use it.
What Wang Yuan wrote was naturally not as refined in terms of wording as those of Confucian scholars. It was mainly written to make the people understand and then provoke their anger.
The imperial court said that schools were built to allow all children to go to school.
When the people of Qian first heard the news, they were overjoyed. Studying was once exclusive to the nobility, and it was so difficult for the people of Qian to study.
Now, the imperial court is willing to popularize education, which is a great thing for them.
After finishing their studies, the children can take the official examination. If they pass, it will bring honor to the family.
And now, those nobles want to cut off their chances of climbing up.
