Chapter 425 Stabilizing Food Prices



The military expenditure is the largest after education, and they did not disappoint Zhao Qingrui. Even if the Qin army is only a garrison of about 10,000 people in various places, it is enough to deter local reactionary forces.

However, Ying Zheng's ideas were slightly different from Zhao Qingrui's. The Qin Dynasty conquered the world by fighting.

Zhao Qingrui called him back from the Maurya Dynasty, and he didn't have many opportunities to go to the battlefield again.

Seeing the food scattered like water, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

In addition to food, a lot of money was also spent.

Zhao Qingrui knew all these things and had an idea of ​​them in her mind. These were necessary expenses.

Besides, those old grains have been stored for several years. If they are not taken out and eaten, they will go bad. Taking them out at this time can not only alleviate the current crisis, but also make a profit and gain a good reputation. It is worth it to kill three birds with one stone.

There were several rains in the southern region this year, and the water level in the river did not drop much, so there should be no problem in getting through the year.

There won't be much impact in the south, but it's quite serious in the north. There hasn't been a drop of rain in more than three months.

The people Ying Zheng sent to dig a well had to be about half as deep as before in order to get water.

Thinking of these situations, Zhao Qingrui became even more worried.

I just hope that during the most difficult times, those anti-Qin elements will not cause trouble.

Although the crackdown has been carried out several times, anti-Qin elements are still active in various parts of the Qin Dynasty and cannot be completely killed.

After reading the memorial, Zhao Qingrui threw it on the desk and lay down on the rocking chair. Shang Lian and Dun Ruo had already gone to deal with the officials here. In two months, it would be Lu Zhi's turn, and Zhao Qingrui was looking forward to it.

The future Queen of the Han Dynasty, even if her son is so useless, she can still support the entire Han Dynasty. This is the future important official she is optimistic about, and she needs to entrust him with important tasks.

The temperature was getting higher and higher. Even though there was an ice cube in the room, Zhao Qingrui still felt hot and restless.

As the weather got hotter, the convoy's speed slowed down a lot.

After the convoy's speed slowed down, Zhao Qingrui was still busy every day. Except for the fact that she did not show up in person, she handled all the matters on the grassland personally.

"Your Majesty, the officials here want to see you. I think they seem to have discovered something." Shang Lian told what happened today.

"No." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"But, from what I see, they seem to want to break into Your Majesty's residence." Shang Lian said with a headache.

The situation was quite intense at the time, and some people even pointed the finger at her and Dun Ruo, saying that they were taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness to control him.

They were all so righteous that they wanted to break into Zhao Qingrui's residence under the pretext of caring about the emperor.

If the army hadn't stopped them, those people would have really broken in.

Shang Lian simply described the situation at that time, and Zhao Qingrui had already guessed the scene.

"Okay, they want to force me to abdicate. Let Dun Ruo investigate everyone here carefully for me." Zhao Qingrui sneered.

I haven't shown up for a long time, and some people may have other thoughts about me.

Was this a local anti-Qin force, or a test from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? Zhao Qingrui felt that both were possible.

If these people were to notice her physical condition, many of them would want to take advantage of her weakness to cause trouble.

During her pregnancy, she wanted to live a peaceful life and nip any danger in the bud.

If there are no problems with these people, then continue to use them. If there are problems, then replace them. There are plenty of people willing to take over.

The Jinyiwei were now infiltrating various places, and it didn't take long for them to find the detailed information that Zhao Qingrui needed. Now Zhao Qingrui has set out again.

After reading the information sent by the Jinyiwei, Zhao Qingrui sneered, "There are always people who are blind, and some even surprise me. Send this information back to the emperor and let him handle it."

Zhao Qingrui's sneering voice made Dun Ruo's heart tremble. His Majesty is angry.

"Yes, I will send the information back right away." Dun Ruo said respectfully. He could already imagine the scene of the First Emperor being furious.

After Dun Ruo left, Zhao Qingrui looked at the quarterly summary sent by the Ministry of Industry again.

It is mainly about the construction of the railway station and the building of trains. At present, a train that can be used for operation has been built, but the train tracks have not yet been laid.

Once the railway tracks are laid, it will only take two days to travel from Xianyang to Lingnan, and the horses won't have to be exhausted.

After seeing the news, the unhappiness on Zhao Qingrui's face faded a lot.

That’s great. I really want to see the train running soon.

As long as there is a train, it will definitely boost Daqin's economy and population mobility. Although population mobility is not easy to manage, it will also make Daqin better.

After the train to Lingnan is ready, we will start to open a route to Liaodong County.

Zhao Qingrui felt sincerely happy when he thought about the more lively Daqin in the future.

In addition to the good news from the Ministry of Industry, the farmers also brought a lot of good news to Zhao Qingrui. The things that Sui Shicong brought back included a lot of spices and various crops that could be grown in Daqin.

Although the specific value of these things is not yet clear, as long as one or two of them can enrich the life of Daqin, it will be a profit.

After hearing these good news, the haze in Zhao Qingrui's heart dissipated a lot. It was great.
