These problems are quite common, so Zhao Qingrui did not make any more trouble. He planned to wait until next year's five-year plan was formulated to solve the problems here together.
Zhao Qingrui became easier to talk to, which made many officials feel relieved. Previously, when she had cleaned up the bureaucracy there with thundering means, these people were scared.
It also made them realize once again that His Majesty was not someone who could be easily fooled, and they became more cautious when reporting on their work.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingrui did not make things difficult for them anymore. After being afraid of being killed, those people were very cooperative whenever Zhao Qingrui arrived.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Qingrui touched her belly. She was already showing a bit of pregnancy, but the tour hadn't even reached halfway.
"Your Majesty, this is chicken soup for nourishing the body." Shang Lian brought over the chicken soup. At present, apart from Dun Ruo and Shang Lian, only the cook knew that Zhao Qingrui was pregnant.
Ever since I became pregnant, all kinds of nourishing foods have been delivered to me.
"Chicken soup again? Change it up next time. I'm about to vomit." Zhao Qingrui looked at the chicken soup in front of her that was emitting an enticing aroma. She had a bowl of it every day and was really tired of it.
"Then what would Your Majesty like to eat? I will go and talk to the cook later." Shang Lian asked happily.
"Eat fish and order more vegetables."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the cook later. By the way, there are many cattle and sheep on this grassland. Would Your Majesty like some beef or mutton soup?"
"No, it's too fishy." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. She decided not to make herself suffer. She just wanted to eat something lighter now.
"All right."
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to tell Master Su about this?" Shang Lian looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"No need. Let's talk to him when we get back. I'm still on tour and don't want to cause any trouble." Zhao Qingrui shook his head.
The timing of this child's arrival is really not very good. Every day he is either on the road or intimidating the natives in various places.
Thinking of all these things, Zhao Qingrui couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. When he was in Xianyang, he wanted to go out and play.
But after coming out, I was given various tasks to complete, and the journey lost its meaning.
Outside is a vast grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see. This is basically the scene you see every day. Although some new cities have been built, they are still inferior to the Central Plains.
After sitting by the window for a while, Zhao Qingrui picked up the memorial sent from the court again.
Every time when reviewing these memorials, Zhao Qingrui especially hoped that she had an assistant. If only her father were here at this moment, all these could be given to him. He had experience, and then she could focus on taking care of the pregnancy, instead of having to work so hard now.
If I had known earlier, I would not have let my father go to the Maurya Empire. It would be too tiring.
Leaning on the cushion, Zhao Qingrui began to flip through the books. Suddenly, he came across Wang Ben's memorial, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
In the Western Regions, a war with Maodun is about to begin.
That’s great. This battle is not difficult. She has only one requirement, which is to kill Maodun. As for the rest, Wang Jian and Wang Ben are here, and they know what to do.
Looking at the memorial in his hand, Zhao Qingrui only had to wait for the fruits of victory.
According to the intelligence sent by Wang Ben, Maodun had assembled about 100,000 people and had some crude gunpowder in his hands, so he did not pose much threat.
So many people were arrested and sent to work on infrastructure construction.
Where should these people be sent? She wanted to dig a river connecting the north and the south. Now that there is gunpowder, it is easier to dig the mountain than to dig with hands.
Then send it to dig a canal, Zhao Qingrui quickly made up his mind.
I don’t know how many people are left there after Maodun conquers them. I will bring all of them to Qin when the time comes.
Zhao Qingrui stroked his chin and thought about this matter. At present, food is no longer in short supply in Daqin, and more people can be accommodated.
The population of Daqin has been growing rapidly in recent years. However, it takes too long to raise newly born children, so Daqin needs a lot of people.
Capturing people from other countries is also a good way to increase the population.
As long as the Qin Dynasty is strong enough, even if those people have the intention to rebel, they will eventually become like the remnants of the six kingdoms, who only dare to do things secretly and dare not make trouble openly.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui had an idea in his mind.
As she flipped through the memorials in her hand, Zhao Qingrui's heart gradually calmed down, but soon she turned to Liu Ji's memorial.
"Huh? You actually want to retire." Zhao Qingrui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. Considering the time, Liu Ji was indeed not young anymore.
Judging from what Liu Jizou wrote in the letter, he felt that his health was not very good and he did not want to continue running around outside. He wanted to stay at home with his wife and children.
Liu Fei was already in his teens, and Liu Ruyi was also several years old. Concubine Qi also gave birth to another son and a daughter for him, so he now had four children to raise.
He worked hard in the past few years, and Zhao Qingrui was very generous with his salary, so he saved a lot of money and started some small business. Now his family is wealthy and has no worries about food and drink.
Now that his health is not very good, he wants to retire. With his pension and the small shop at home, he will not have to worry about finding wives for his sons in the future.
Zhao Qingrui touched his chin, pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision and approved Liu Ji's request.
The medicine she wanted to use for her father and Wang Jian was very expensive, and she didn't have many points left after buying medicine for her children.
What's more, Liu Ji also has the identity of Emperor Gaozu of Han, so Zhao Qingrui would not let him hold a high official position.
