"Well, I do have such a plan. Those noble merchants are richer than my national treasury, yet they always cry poor in front of me. Now it's even difficult to pay the salaries of the officials." Speaking of this, Ying Zheng felt angry.
"Then I guess a lot of people will object." Zhao Qingrui smiled, wanting to see how his father would react.
Seeing his daughter's gloating expression, Ying Zheng said helplessly, "No problem. Anyone who dares to stop me will be dragged here and beheaded as a warning to others."
Ying Zheng knew very well that it was not easy to reform the system.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You are back now. What are your plans next? Let's not talk about the rebellion." Ying Zheng's eyes were gentle.
"Planning, there are so many things I want to do." Zhao Qingrui supported her head with her left hand. She was eager to earn points.
"I'm planning to open a school in Xianyang, and I also want to publish a newspaper to promote sweet potatoes. These are what I want to do most right now."
"What is a newspaper?" Ying Zheng looked at his daughter in confusion. He always heard some words he had never heard before from his daughter's mouth.
"Newspapers are used to publish news and current events. For example, if you announce a new policy, it should be published in the newspaper so that everyone in the world can see it."
"Anyone who writes well can also publish it in the newspaper."
"You can also post all kinds of funny jokes, stories, or life tips on it."
Zhao Qingrui briefly explained that newspapers have a wide range of uses and are currently the best means of disseminating information, and she also wants to control public opinion.
It will be easier to deliver things through newspapers in the future, and points will come in a lot.
"Is it necessary for a historian to record these things?"
"Of course, Dad, you are the First Emperor. You promulgated policies and attached various analyses to newspapers to let people all over the world know that you are for the Qin Dynasty. You are not the tyrannical Qin they claim you are." Zhao Qingrui sat next to his father and rubbed his back.
"Besides, those Confucian scholars who write well must also want to be famous."
"There are also various schools of thought. If they want to publicize their ideas, they can also use newspapers."
Zhao Qingrui listed a series of benefits of starting a newspaper to his father, mainly to get his support.
Ying Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing what his daughter said, he felt that this newspaper was indeed necessary.
He gave her a meaningful look, and after hearing what she said, he wanted to bring the newspaper under the control of the court even more.
"What do you think if I publish the newspaper you mentioned in the name of the Qin Dynasty?" Ying Zheng pondered.
Zhao Qingrui's eyebrows darkened, "Then let me manage the newspaper."
"No one else can do it, so of course you have to come." Ying Zheng chuckled. He wanted to see what surprise his daughter could give him.
"To run a newspaper, there are still many things to prepare." Zhao Qingrui felt relieved when his father spoke.
I don't know if there's a copier in the system mall? Or, let Su Ling find a way to print it with movable type.
When she returned to the palace in the First Emperor's chariot, it became clear to everyone that His Majesty truly loved the little princess.
Hu Ji, who had just been released, felt a little sad when she saw the little girl helping the First Emperor get off the chariot.
During this period, His Majesty has left everyone in the harem alone to take care of this girl.
There are princesses in the palace. Even the favored Princess Yin Man has never been pampered by His Majesty like this.
After Zhao Qingrui helped his father get out of the car, he saw beauties passing by in front of him. His father really knew how to enjoy himself. With so many people, he went to see one every day, and I'm afraid he wouldn't repeat the same one in a year.
Although there were not as many as three thousand beauties in the harem, there were still several hundred.
Zhao Qingrui was dressed more formally today, wearing the crimson quju skirt popular in the Qin Dynasty, and a jade ring that her father had sent her tied around her waist. With this attire, she looked much more dignified.
Of course, she didn't think she was any worse than the other princesses.
"Princess, return to the palace." The voice of eunuch Zhao Gao sounded.
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down one after another. Zhao Qingrui followed Ying Zheng and watched the scene quietly. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she was trying hard to adapt to it all.
"Everyone get up." Zhao Qingrui's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for people around to hear.
As for the concubines, Zhao Qingrui didn't bother to care about them. Her father told her directly that her status was higher than those concubines and she didn't need to pay her respects to them.
The reason why Ying Zheng gave Zhao Qingrui such a high status was not only because he felt guilty about her, but more because of her mysterious old immortal master.
It can easily eliminate the poison of the elixir in his body, and can also know the past and the future.
If he wants to live longer, he has to win over the old immortal.
The concubines had known about His Majesty's decision for a long time, so they were naturally surprised. They were all secretly wondering whether the little princess's biological mother was His Majesty's true love.
The First Emperor never had a queen in his life, nor did he have any intention of doing so. He also did not seem to be particularly fond of any of his concubines.
In fact, Zhao Qingrui's mother was not special. She just met Ying Zheng when he was traveling. Later, she gave birth to Zhao Qingrui. She didn't like to let her daughter live a life of fear, so she begged Ying Zheng to let Zhao Qingrui be raised outside.
To be honest, Ying Zheng was a little confused about the woman's appearance at this moment.
It was because Zhao Qingrui was lively and could please him that he doted on her a little more. Later, when he heard about his daughter's mysterious master, he developed his current preference for her.
He had so many children, and his heart was limited. It was impossible for him to pay close attention to every child. He paid more attention to state affairs.
"Qing Rui, this is the Xuanyi Palace where you live. It is close to the palace where Yin Man lives. You two sisters can walk around more often if you have nothing to do." Ying Zheng said gently.
This palace was built after he ascended the throne. It is quite spacious and large. His concubines wanted it before, but he didn't give it to them.
When he brought his daughter back this time, this was the first place he thought of.
"Let's go in and take a look." Ying Zheng said excitedly.
Zhao Qingrui smiled and nodded, then followed his father inside. The palace was very spacious, with some flowers and plants planted inside, all of which were found in the Meng family's small courtyard.
All I could see were layers of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, all of which were extremely luxurious.
"Do you like it? Everything is decorated according to your preferences. I'm just worried that you won't be used to it." Ying Zheng said softly.
As Zhao Qingrui walked in, she was stunned for a moment. The layout was indeed the same as her boudoir in Jingshui Pavilion, with some valuable items added, such as some beautiful bronze artifacts, and some chime musical instruments placed in the side hall, which she could play with when she had nothing to do.
"Dad, you put so much thought into it. I like it very much." Zhao Qingrui said seriously. If she didn't care about it, would he arrange it so carefully? She was really happy in her heart.
