"His Majesty misses Your Highness and is worried that Your Highness is not living well here, so he asked me to send some things over." Feng Quji looked around the palace calmly.
There are a lot more things in the temporary palace, and it looks as gorgeous as the East Palace.
"I'm not a child anymore, but my father is always worried." Zhao Qingrui raised the corners of his lips.
"Did the emperor have anything else to say?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Feng Quji.
"His Majesty didn't say much. He just let Your Highness make the decision." Feng Quji said seriously. He was helpless because His Majesty had delegated so much power.
Zhao Qingrui did a good job here, so he didn't say much.
Time has also proved that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Qingrui's decisions, and they even made Daqin even more powerful.
"Okay then." Zhao Qingrui understood that she was to be allowed to do whatever she wanted. As long as she didn't ask for money, the emperor wouldn't interfere and wouldn't send anyone to give her orders.
Her father's trust in her made her want to do this matter beautifully.
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Feng. I have arranged accommodation for you. You can do whatever you want here." Zhao Qingrui said enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness." Feng Quji nodded. He was indeed a little tired as he was old.
After seeing Feng Quji off, Zhao Qingrui finally had time to look at the pile of things sent by his father.
When the box was opened and Zhao Qingrui looked at the things inside, the corners of his mouth twitched. There were several boxes of jewelry and some health supplements.
Now she is no longer short of money. Father is really worried that she doesn't have enough money.
Zhao Qingrui was happy to have such a generous father.
I'd better prepare a surprise for my father when I get back.
Should I use all this money? Zhao Qingrui touched his chin and pondered.
It would be better to use this money to do something meaningful.
"Someone, go and call Liu Ji." Zhao Qingrui looked at the palace maid not far away and said.
Since the technology of papermaking and printing spread, many papermaking and printing workshops have sprung up everywhere.
Zhao Qingrui plans to use part of this huge amount of money to print books and put them in the library.
As for the remaining part, you can keep it and use it as scholarship and work-study expenses in the future.
When Liu Ji came over, Zhao Qingrui handed the money directly to him and asked him to make arrangements according to his plan.
Seeing so much money, Liu Ji's heart beat fast. He had never seen so much money in his life.
His Highness actually let him arrange it. Is His Highness giving him a chance to show his abilities?
Thinking of this, Liu Ji became more and more excited.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will make all the arrangements." Liu Ji said seriously.
Rather than being greedy for a little money, he is more eager to climb up.
"Well, remember to keep a record, I will check it later." Zhao Qingrui nodded. She was indeed giving Liu Ji a chance.
Now that the Qin Dynasty is strong enough, all of Liu Ji's men have been poached by the court, so even if he wants to rebel, it is impossible.
Now is the time to use people, so why not give him a chance?
Watching Liu Ji's departing back, Zhao Qingrui continued her leisurely life of winning.
Wang Yuan also returned from his tour, bringing a large number of people back for forced labor.
Zhao Qingrui went to take a look and didn't pay any more attention to it.
Yuan Shenbai and Liu Ji managed the workers very well. There was no shortage of money and food, and various materials were constantly being transported in from all over the place. Zhao Qingrui only needed to keep an overall check.
After Feng Quji came over, he started checking the accounts here.
The right prime minister came in person to check the accounts, so the officials naturally did not try to stop him.
These local officials all had some problems to varying degrees. As the investigation deepened, Feng Quji had a complete understanding of the situation here.
With Zhao Qingrui's arrival here, it was as if vitality was injected into these counties. The economy here has developed greatly and the lives of the people have improved a lot.
As the number of accounts increased, there were also more cases of corruption and abuse of power.
Feng Quji did not make the decision directly, but brought the matter to Zhao Qingrui for her to handle.
After Zhao Qingrui finished reading the things Feng Quji sent, he also began to have a headache. Corruption has always been rampant and it is impossible to eradicate it completely.
"Not many of these people embezzled money. Apart from these few, in addition to the prescribed punishments, all of them were sent to do hard labor in the school construction. They worked at small positions in the morning and went to labor camp in the afternoon."
"As for these few, their properties will be confiscated and they will be beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others." Zhao Qingrui said coldly. These few people were too greedy. They were dragged away and beheaded to serve as a warning to the people here.
"The court is currently short of manpower. If these people are killed, there will be no one to replace them for the time being." Feng Quji said hesitantly.
There really is a shortage of people, otherwise he wouldn't say that.
"I will take over the positions of these people first and kill them. If we spare them this time, who knows if they will commit the same crime again in the future? These people have criminal records and cannot be used." Zhao Qingrui pondered.
Zhao Qingrui strongly disagreed with the fact that Daqin continued to employ officials who had made mistakes. She would rather leave the official position vacant than employ people with bad records.
"Your Highness, you can't do this. You are of noble status. How can you do these chores?" Feng Quji objected without thinking.
"There's no need to persuade me, Prime Minister Feng. I've made up my mind." Zhao Qingrui chuckled.
"Prime Minister Feng, do you know why my elder brother has never been favored by the emperor, and why he even wants me to be the crown prince?" Zhao Qingrui ate ice jelly leisurely.
In this hot weather, after eating a bowl of ice jelly, I feel comfortable all over.
