Zhao Qingrui had already learned some about the situation in the Maurya Empire through the imperial caravans. Compared to the historical materials she knew, the situation inside the Maurya Empire was even worse.
The king is inactive, the royal court is in chaos, Jainism is rampant, and the people are unproductive. For Zhao Qingrui, these are loopholes everywhere.
Not much information was heard about the military situation. The people in charge of the army were divided into several factions, and the fighting was in full swing.

The Qin army all fought their way out of the battlefield. They were dressed in armor, holding fine steel weapons, and each of them was murderous and looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Of course, if officials used these troops to hold the people hostage and force them to give them benefits, the court also set up special departments to handle these matters.
It can be said that every commoner in the Qin Dynasty could come to Xianyang to file a complaint with the emperor.
Zhao Qingrui gave the people of Qian great supervisory powers so that they could supervise officials in various places to prevent corruption.
