Chapter 389 Earthquake



Zhao Qingrui looked over and found that this person was indeed Tian Rong.

And the other person is somewhat similar to Tian Rong, so he should be his brother. Is it Tian Heng or Tian Dan?

Zhao Qingrui touched his chin. What were these descendants of Qi doing in Xianyang?

"Sir, do you want someone to go and take a look?" Shang Lian asked in a low voice.

"No need." Zhao Qingrui waved his hand and refused directly.

Although she was followed by the Imperial Guards, she had no interest in knowing the private lives of the officials in the court.

If they broke the law, she had no need to worry as there were censors supervising them.

After drinking tea, Zhao Qingrui took Shang Lian for a walk in the suburbs before returning to Xianyang Palace.

Sitting in the palace, Zhao Qingrui supported his head and pondered. At present, the construction of the railway station in Xianyang City has begun, and the train route has been determined. There are still some problems that need to be solved.

The testing of the train has not been completed yet, the tracks have met the standards, but compared to future generations, there is still a long way to go.

Zhao Qingrui hopes to put the train into use as soon as possible. At present, the only means of transportation in Daqin, in addition to large ships, are tricycles, bicycles and other vehicles that require human power. Horse-drawn carriages are still widely used.

Steam engines have not yet been used in vehicles, and there has not been much progress in vehicle research.

There are also various coal mines and iron mines. Daqin has not discovered many of these mines so far. If the train is running, it is not known whether it can fully support it.

There were a bunch of problems that needed to be solved urgently, and Zhao Qingrui felt extremely headache. She couldn't create these things out of thin air, and she still needed people from the court to find them bit by bit.

"Your Majesty, this is today's memorial, please take a look." A little girl came over holding the memorial. Even though today was a day off, there were still many things waiting for Zhao Qingrui.

"Is there anything important?" Zhao Qingrui began to have a headache when he looked at the pile of memorials. He decided to deal with the important matters first.

"Your Majesty, yes, the prefect of Shu County submitted a memorial stating that a businessman in Shu County had illegally occupied an iron mine, and the extent of the occupation has not yet been determined." Yang Yaoyao said respectfully.

"There's a memorial sent in urgently half an hour ago. An earthquake struck Longxi County, and several nearby counties were also affected. Many houses collapsed, crushing some people to death. Local officials are already dispatching relief efforts."

"Your servants dare not decide on these two important matters. Your Majesty is requested to make the decision." Yang Yaoyao said seriously.

In a few years, the naive little girl has grown into a strict and generous cabinet minister.

"Bring it here for me to see." Zhao Qingrui frowned. These two things were not trivial matters. No wonder the cabinet did not dare to make a decision.

Yang Yaoyao handed the top two memorials to Zhao Qingrui, then respectfully stepped aside and waited.

Zhao Qingrui read through the whole thing quickly, his face looking very ugly. Zhao Qingrui had already issued an imperial edict prohibiting private mining of various mineral deposits. Currently, the imperial court had a high demand for these iron, silver, and coal mines, and it was impossible to allow them to be mined privately.

"Go and call the six ministers and the censor Feng Jie over." Zhao Qingrui ordered calmly.

"Yes." Yang Yaoyao said quickly.

Zhao Qingrui held the memorial sent by the prefect of Longxi County with a bad look on his face. It said that the disaster was not serious and only dozens of people died.

Zhao Qingrui was going to send someone over to investigate the matter thoroughly. There was a granary set up there for disaster relief, and the county magistrate had already gone to mobilize the grain from the granary.

Zhao Qingrui felt that the Qin Dynasty was not strong enough. At least the lives of the people were still not very good. It was not easy to improve the lives of the people.

The people of Guizhou must also develop an awareness of self-rescue in the event of natural disasters. This way, when a disaster occurs, they can take precautions in advance and prepare some things needed for disaster relief at home.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui asked someone to call Xie Peiyun over. This matter should be publicized frequently in the newspapers.

Only in this way can the people of Qian have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

Soon, the six ministers and Xie Peiyun arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

The weather outside was hot, but as soon as I walked in, a cool feeling came over me and I felt comfortable all over.

In order to make himself live comfortably, Zhao Qingrui bought an air conditioner. He handled government affairs in Zhangtai Palace. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, which was much more comfortable than before.

The current Zhangtai Palace has been greatly renovated by her. Even if Ying Zheng comes back, he probably won’t recognize that it is the Zhangtai Palace.

In the main hall, she liked softer stools, and the desk was replaced with rosewood, with a faint scent of incense, and the flowers in the vase were fresh every day.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Stand up and sit down. I have important matters to discuss with you today, which will take quite a while." Zhao Qingrui said lightly. Li Si and Feng Quji were old, and she felt embarrassed to let them stand all the time, as their bodies could not bear it.

"An earthquake has occurred in Longxi County. Xie Peiyun, I hope you can find someone to compile methods for disaster victims to save themselves, register them in the newspaper, let more people see them, and let the people make some preparations at home, so that they won't panic when the disaster strikes and have no idea what to do." Zhao Qingrui gave the order directly.

"I obey your command." Xie Peiyun responded seriously, and he admired Zhao Qingrui in his heart. Your Majesty always thinks about the people of the world.

Later, I will definitely ask people to write more articles to praise Your Majesty's merits.

"Write it in detail so that everyone can understand it. I will send orders to each county and let local officials go to the countryside to publicize this matter." Zhao Qingrui made the decision directly.
