The bell for the exam rang, and all the candidates entered the examination room one after another. All their belongings were left outside and were watched over by someone.
It suddenly became quiet. Zhao Qingrui sat in the attic, reading the memorial leisurely.
Feng Jie will arrive in Xianyang tomorrow. The epidemic in Lingnan has been temporarily under control. It will take some time to cure all the infected people.
There are many officials involved in this incident, and the people admitted this time cannot fill this vacancy.
Zhao Qingrui rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Take it slow, don't be impatient." Zhao Qingrui kept giving himself psychological hints.
The development speed of Daqin has been too fast in recent years. If it is not slowed down, something bad will happen.
However, she wanted more, and she knew she was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, what are you worried about? Can you tell me?" Seeing Zhao Qingrui who was a little annoyed, Shang Lian hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"You say, am I doing these things too hastily?" Zhao Qingrui raised his eyebrows and then said softly.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the Lingnan incident?" Shang Lian asked doubtfully.
"It can be said that I have done a lot of things since I ascended the throne, and have also greatly changed the original pattern of the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Qingrui looked at the scenery outside the window.
Being an emperor is not happy at all. I miss the old days.
"Those people are parasites of the Qin Dynasty and deserve to be put to death. Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself." Shang Lian was silent for two seconds. When she thought of those greedy officials, she was disgusted.
At the beginning, her father hunted a fox with beautiful fur. When he was selling it, the county lieutenant saw it and bought it from him forcibly for ten Qin half liang. When her father wanted to argue with them, he was beaten to death by the officials.
Later, her mother died of illness again. As a little girl, she was almost caught by human traffickers and sold to a wealthy family. Fortunately, she met the current Majesty, who gave her a stable home.
Your Majesty gave her the opportunity to study, and after returning to Xianyang, he allowed her to gradually move to the center of political power. Your Majesty trusted and respected her.
"Daqin is short of officials. I am wondering if I have acted too hastily." Zhao Qingrui was a little confused.
She also hated corrupt officials and officials who protected each other.
However, it is only with these people that the grassroots of Daqin can be stable.
She also knew that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish, but when she saw the results of the review, she still couldn't control her anger.
If they were less greedy, she would have scolded them and the matter might have passed, but they were too greedy and were simply insatiable.
Ten hundred million coins, that's one hundred million, which is equivalent to two or three months' commercial tax of the Qin Dynasty.
Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty was becoming more and more prosperous, and commercial taxes had also increased rapidly, greatly enriching the national treasury. She no longer felt embarrassed to ask for money when she wanted to do something.
However, the rapid development of business has also created some gray areas.
At present, the imperial court does not have a complete set of laws, and the existing laws have many loopholes, which give those people the opportunity to exploit them.
She doesn't have time to change these things yet, so she can only wait another year or two.
However, no amount of suppression should be spared.
"I am a little anxious, but Your Majesty is also doing this for the sake of the Qin Dynasty. Officials and common people alike will fully support your decision." Shang Lian said seriously.
It is precisely because everyone from top to bottom is working hard to cooperate that there are no problems within the Qin Dynasty.
"As for those parasites, they are only a minority. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about them." Shang Lian continued to persuade.
This is the truth. The Qin Dynasty's court was clean and honest, and those corrupt officials were only a minority.
"You're right." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian. Over the past few years, Shang Lian seemed more calm and reliable.
Shang Lian's words relieved a lot of the gloom in Zhao Qingrui's heart.
It's better to get rid of those parasites. If they are left, they will be a disaster. She doesn't want to be like her father, who appointed people with criminal records. In the end, these people and the remnants of the six kingdoms made all kinds of tricks, and together with the useless Hu Hai, they directly destroyed the entire Qin Dynasty.
The current Qin Dynasty has no shortage of talent. These people can be dealt with. The court will take its time and will fill the positions of these officials sooner or later.
Zhao Qingrui stood up, Shang Lian followed her, and the two of them went for a tour together.
The invigilating officials knew that Zhao Qingrui was coming to see, and Zhao Qingrui had also greeted them in advance. After seeing Zhao Qingrui, these people pretended not to see him and continued to manage the examination room.
This year's exam questions are more difficult, and many people don't know how to start.
Especially for those participating in the cabinet selection, the questions are more difficult. If you want to answer them, you need to think carefully because there are too many traps in these questions.
Looking at the people in the examination room scratching their heads and thinking, a smile flashed in Zhao Qingrui's eyes. As expected, seeing others unhappy, she felt happy immediately.
When Zhao Qingrui walked into the examination room for the cabinet assessment, she saw a person who surprised her, Zhao Xie. He actually came to participate in the cabinet assessment.
His gaze lingered on Zhao Xie for a few seconds, and Zhao Qingrui soon felt relieved.
She had already found out about Zhao Xie's situation. Although the power he possessed was not small, it was still not enough to face the behemoth Qin.
This man has been well behaved since the land reform. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he has settled down.
He has accumulated some reputation in the local area over the years. As long as he has real ability, Zhao Qingrui will be able to tolerate him even if he has some small thoughts.
