When the envoy came to Daqin again, Zhao Qingrui soon learned about it, but did not take it too seriously.
In recent years, people from the Maurya Dynasty often came to Lingnan to trade with Daqin. The Maurya Dynasty had a lot of minerals, which gradually became popular in Daqin in recent years.
There were many benefits for the people of the Maurya Dynasty to come to Daqin. Not only did it boost the economy of Lingnan, but the population movement in Lingnan also became increasingly frequent.
With the addition of various prescriptions for treating malaria that Zhao Qingrui came up with, the population of Lingnan is now gradually increasing.
"Send a message to the Honglu Temple and ask them to prepare the reception ceremony. Don't be negligent." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites respectfully said that they were just receiving the envoys from the Maurya Empire. They had received them several times and were very familiar with this job.
"promise."
"By the way, normal specifications will do." Zhao Qingrui added. Calculating the time, Sharisuka should be dying soon. He could take advantage of the internal turmoil in the Maurya Empire to do something.
After things were arranged, Zhao Qingrui went to the Ministry of Industry again.
Ever since the steam engine was invented, Zhao Qingrui has liked to go to the Ministry of Industry. The steam engine has so many uses and has now been used in textile machines.
Zhao Qingrui could already imagine that with the introduction of steam engines into factories, the price of fabrics on the market would drop drastically.
Now that the cotton has been found, there are not many seeds available yet, so we can only promote it slowly.
In the future, the Qin Dynasty will no longer have to worry about the people freezing to death.
"Your Majesty, do you have any plans for promoting the steam engine?" Su Ling sat in the office of the Ministry of Industry and looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"There are some. I plan to sell them to merchants in the name of the court. Each one costs ten taels. I will use part of the proceeds as an investment in the Ministry of Works. What do you think?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Su Ling and Gongshu Yu.
The current Ministry of Industry is divided into many departments, each department researching different directions. Su Ling doesn't like to be in charge anymore, so he just does research behind closed doors.
"Your Majesty has the final say." The two had no objection. Over the years, His Majesty had greatly improved the status of craftsmen and invested a lot of money in order to allow them to conduct research.
The money invested can only be compared with that invested in education.
At the court meeting on the second day, Zhao Qingrui discussed the sale of steam engines with his ministers.
How to sell it and how to divide the money were all handed over to Li Si by Zhao Qingrui.
Now Li Si has also practiced physical training methods. He looks like a middle-aged man and can still fight for the Qin Dynasty for many more years.

The steam engine caused a sensation in Daqin. As the machine started to move, its efficiency was amazing and it was instantly sought after by countless businessmen.
The price of fabrics on the market, as Zhao Qingrui had expected, dropped rapidly, and even the capital of Guizhou could buy a lot of them.
Of course, what followed was the problem of overcapacity, which was left to the businessmen to deal with. Zhao Qingrui just showed some concern for it and didn't interfere much.
The other two factions of Mohism also came to Xianyang under Zhao Qingrui's edict. They were also particularly interested in this steam engine.
This steam engine is truly amazing. It is so powerful without any human power.
There were even Mo Xia who sneaked into other people's workshops to understand how this thing worked.
As more and more Mohist disciples came to Xianyang, Xianyang became more and more lively, but a lot of things also happened.
After hearing the report from the court officials, Zhao Qingrui's face looked a little bad. Although he had expected it, his face still looked a little ugly when he heard these things.
"Send a message to the Weiwei Office to conduct stricter inspections during this period. Anyone who dares to steal or rob will be arrested and sent to a labor camp or construction school." Zhao Qingrui said with a cold face.
After Zhao Qingrui gave the order, the number of people making trouble outside decreased a little.
On the Mohist side, Su Ling's face also looked a little bad.
At this time, the leaders of the three Mohist sects sat together for the first time. At present, except for the Xiangli family, the other two families were not living well.
Now that they see that Su Ling and the others are living a good life, they are still envious.
This time, Su Ling called them all to Xianyang with the emperor's edict, and they were actually very happy in their hearts.
No matter what, their ancestors are all one family.
Now that we are going to merge them together, no one has any objection.
"What do you think? Your Majesty now values the talents of the Mohist and Gongshu schools, but the Mohist school still has too few people." Su Ling looked at the two of them.
"I don't have any objection, but the people of our lineage are used to freedom. If we confine them directly to one place, I'm afraid something might happen." The head of the Deng Ling family said with a headache. How could he not know the situation of this lineage?
Especially in recent years, since there has been more food and people have had their fill, everyone has become more energetic and always wants to do something.
"I need to discuss with our lineage before I can make a decision." The head of the Xiangfu clan thought for a while and said that their lineage was better at dialectics, and it was not known whether they could be integrated into the Mohist school.
"Okay, call your people together for a meeting and explain everything to them." Su Ling had no objection. If they were forced to gather together, something would definitely happen. It would be better to let everyone do it willingly.
"You have done a good job in Daqin in recent years. I heard that His Majesty values you very much?" The head of the Xiangfu clan looked at Su Ling curiously.
Everyone in Daqin basically knows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to Suling, but few people in the Mohist school conduct research in the direction of weapons.
