After reporting to Ying Zheng, Zhao Qingrui felt relieved and no longer had to worry about angering her father.
After asking about their situation at sea and showing concern for the health of his father and the others, Zhao Qingrui hung up the phone with satisfaction.
After playing with his phone for a while, Zhao Qingrui felt a little bored.
Although mobile phones can connect to the Internet, their actual functions are limited to making calls and playing games. They do not have the kind of entertainment news that is flying around like modern ones.
At present, only Suling has achieved direct current, and there is still a long way to go to reach the modern level.
This year's New Year is the first since she ascended the throne. Zhao Qingrui followed the previous practice of regent and gathered high-ranking officials to make a year-end summary and encourage them.
The New Year’s banquet is very grand, and this year’s Yuefu has prepared many performances.
Zhao Qingrui drank a few glasses of wine and didn't drink any more.
In the hall, musicians danced gracefully and the music played melodiously. The officials sitting below seemed very satisfied with this year's performance.
Zhao Qingrui's gaze fell on the royal family. Even though a lot of people were laid off, the royal family still had a large population.
I have a lot of brothers and sisters, and each of their families has quite a few children.
The banquet lasted the whole day and Zhao Qingrui felt a little tired.
Zhao Qingrui also had the gifts prepared for his nephews, nieces and nephews delivered.
Sitting in Wangyi Palace, Zhao Qingrui looked at the summary of his private property that was brought to him, feeling a little listless.
It's not easy to be an emperor. There is endless work to do every day.
I finally finished my official duties, but I still have a lot of personal things to do.
He rubbed his eyebrows and continued reading.
In the past year, the income of various farms was still very considerable. In addition to the farms, the income of several shops and factories was also very good.
Zhao Qingrui calculated that, excluding the rewards given to officials, her income for the year was more than 200,000 yuan.
Especially those large factories, as the population increases, the profit rate of these factories is still quite considerable.
Even if she divided the money with Wang Xian and the others, she still got a lot.
There is so much money! She is the emperor now and has little chance to spend it.
He asked someone to bring the account book of his private treasury and take a look at it. Zhao Qingrui looked at his assets and realized that such a large amount of money would not create any value if it was just kept there.
The next day, Zhao Qingrui called Shusun Tong to Zhangtai Palace and took out all his money.
"What does your majesty mean?" Looking at the money records in the account book, Shusun Tong was silent for two seconds. Why did your majesty take out all the money from his private treasury?
"I remember that I have set up quite a few invention awards. How many people are currently managing inventions?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shusun Tong. Yes, she planned to invest all the money in inventions in order to inspire positive ideas among the people.
"Your Majesty, there are 678 people recorded. After the review by the Ministry of Rites, there is no special prize. There are three first prizes, 157 second prizes, 243 third prizes, and the rest are small prizes." Shusun Tong was very familiar with these things and told Zhao Qingrui everything honestly.
"That's all, not enough. I will put all the money in my private treasury into the prize money for the invention award. I will announce this to the world so that more people will be eager to invent." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"It's up to Your Majesty to decide." Shusun Tong said respectfully.
"Well, you may leave now. After returning to the Ministry of Rites, please send me the detailed information of the person who won the invention award. I want to see it."
"Okay, I'll take my leave." Shusun Tong said respectfully.
With such a large sum of money suddenly added, as long as Your Majesty announces it to the world, I believe it will attract countless attention.
Sure enough, within two days, Zhao Qingrui issued an imperial edict and had people publicize the matter in various newspapers.
At this time, Zhao Qingrui was leisurely looking at the biographies of the winners and their inventions sent by Shusun Tong in Wangyi Palace. A copy of these things was also sent to Zhao Qingrui's Xianyang Palace.
Many of these inventions are just small inventions used in daily life.
There are derivative applications of water wheels, some have led to the development of more convenient farming tools, and some have led to the development of some valuable new materials, and some have been found to be feasible through experiments.
There were a lot of these things, and Zhao Qingrui read them with great interest.
Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but sigh, as expected, the wisdom of the masses is infinite.
The review of these inventions is very strict, and Zhao Qingrui still has great trust in the Ministry of Rites.
After learning all this, Zhao Qingrui felt much better.
However, even during the Chinese New Year, she still couldn't use her free time all the time.
As the New Year passed, matters from the court were sent over again.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the memorial in front of him. There were only two people on duty in the cabinet now, and there were a lot of work to be sent to them.
"Your Majesty, these are the lists of promotions. Please make your decision." Feng Quji came over with the list.
The people in the six departments were basically busy during the New Year. Zhao Qingrui gave them a lot of salary and New Year gifts.
"Just do it according to what's written here." Zhao Qingrui spent some time and finally finished reading the promotion memorial prepared by Feng Quji. She knew which people on the list should be promoted. Feng Quji's list was very fair.
After saying this, he picked up the imperial seal and stamped it, and the matter was settled.
At the beginning of the year, several imperial edicts were issued. The transfer of officials was quite frequent. There were many officials who had developed well in various places in recent years. As long as they met the standards for promotion, Zhao Qingrui approved them.
