Chapter 338 Border Defense and Pirates



"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're the emperor now. You can discuss court matters with Feng Quji and others." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"I want to, but Li Si and the others have been so busy lately that I'm embarrassed to speak to them. I can only come to discuss it with my father."

"My father is a man of great talent and strategy. The Qin Dynasty was unified under your leadership. No one is more familiar with the affairs of the court than you. You should do more work if you are capable." Zhao Qingrui said coquettishly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ying Zheng was arrogant. Outsiders were still here. This girl was already the emperor, but she didn't know how to be careful.

"It's a border defense issue. There are many problems with the border defense now. Many places have not been defended. The border defense line needs to be rearranged. We can't let any mistakes be made on the border of Daqin." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"This is the first point. The second point is that I have already released some of the prisoners in the Ministry of Works. I also need to discuss with my father where these prisoners should be relocated." Zhao Qingrui said hurriedly.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui dimly. These things were not trivial matters.

"You should discuss border defense matters with Marquis Wucheng and others. I don't want to get involved." Ying Zheng said lightly. This was a very troublesome matter. He finally had some free time now and didn't want to get involved.

Instead of worrying about these things, it would be better to call Wang Ben over to discuss military strategies and decide where to attack in a few years.

"Father." Zhao Qingrui hugged Ying Zheng's arm and acted coquettishly. This matter had already touched upon her weaknesses. She couldn't make a decision easily, nor did she dare to.

If something goes wrong, she will be a sinner of the Qin Dynasty.

She knows her own weight very well.

"Pay attention to your image." Ying Zheng scolded softly, with a helpless look on his face.

Has this girl forgotten Wang Li and the others?

I feel so tired.

"It's useless to ask me for help. You should discuss it with them yourself and talk about the migration of those people." Ying Zheng said lightly.

"Okay, there are hundreds of thousands of these people. With so many people, I don't plan to disperse them too far away. I plan to arrange some in every county in the Central Plains." Zhao Qingrui immediately sat up straight. Forget it, there are still many available generals in the court, so we can take it slowly.

"You are the emperor now, you should call yourself "I." Ying Zheng corrected with a frown, but still agreed with Zhao Qingrui's opinion. These prisoners cannot be gathered together, otherwise they will be guided by someone with ulterior motives and something bad will happen.

"That's feasible. By the way, aren't you planning to send someone to Yingzhou Island? How are the preparations going?"

"We are all family here, there are no need for so many rules." Zhao Qingrui waved his hand and didn't care much about the address. After all, they were all here with his father, so there was no need to follow all those rules.

"I don't have time to deal with this matter now. We have to take our time. The spring planting has just ended. Even if we want to relocate the people of Guizhou to Yingzhou Island, we have to wait until the autumn harvest before making a decision." Zhao Qingrui sighed. Relocating the people of Guizhou, or relocating them to Yingzhou Island, is more difficult than relocating them to any other place in Daqin.

She could already foresee that when the decree was issued, there would probably be very few people willing to respond.

The Qin Dynasty conquered the grasslands, including Buyeo and Gojoseon, and its territory expanded rapidly. In addition, with the implementation of the land-based tax system and the unified tax payment by all gentry, the people of Qiandu in the Qin Dynasty were allocated land and basically had a stable life.

Under such circumstances, there are probably very few people who are willing to leave their hometown.

By then, more preferential policies will have to be issued. What preferential policies to give will need to be decided after consultation with senior officials in the court.

Seeing his daughter's dejected look, Ying Zheng's expression did not change much. If it were the old him, he would just relocate the people and force them to move there without giving it much thought.

After Zhao Qingrui came into being, his thoughts also changed a lot.

"We can start preparing now. Otherwise, if we wait until after the autumn harvest, the relocation of people will be delayed until next year." Ying Zheng reminded.

"I know, but there are so many things to do. Father, would you like to come back and be the regent? I really don't mind." Zhao Qingrui looked at his father eagerly.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll whip you." Ying Zheng's brows twitched. If this wasn't his daughter, he would have wanted to whip her.

He is now the emperor emeritus and has voluntarily abdicated. What is he still doing there?

"My father doesn't love me anymore." Zhao Qingrui complained.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm really going to beat you up." Ying Zheng took a deep breath and glanced at Wang Li and the others. Good, they didn't even look at them.

Zhang Han lowered his head even lower, shocked. So this is how His Majesty and the retired emperor get along.

No wonder, no wonder she was able to defeat Prince Fusu and ascend to the throne so quickly.

He had been the Shaofu for many years and could be said to be a close friend of the First Emperor. He knew exactly how Prince Fusu and the First Emperor got along.

The relationship between the First Emperor and Prince Fusu was not as close as the one between Zhao Qingrui and the First Emperor, but more like a relationship between a monarch and his subject.

"Although these matters are a bit complicated, you can solve them yourself. There is no need to come to me." Ying Zheng gently touched Zhao Qingrui's head.

Father’s big hands were very warm, and Zhao Qingrui also liked this feeling.

However, she still wanted to say that she didn't want to work hard anymore.

Of course, if she dared to say this, her father would probably get angry.

"Forget it. I already have some ideas about this matter. Let the officials below do it when the time comes. Father, I plan to send Zhang Han and Wang Li to Kuaiji County. The pirates there are becoming increasingly rampant." Zhao Qingrui became serious.
