"What do you want?" Ying Zheng's mouth twitched.
"A map? There shouldn't be one, right?" Zhao Qingrui asked doubtfully.
"What are you doing with the map?" The map is an important military secret and it is impossible to take it out easily. I don't know what this girl wants to do. She is really unpredictable.
"I want to see if there are any volcanoes in the territory of Daqin and get some volcanic ash." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng eagerly. She had even seen what the map of Daqin looked like.
"I remember the description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is a Weak Water Abyss under Kunlun Mountain, and outside it is a mountain of fire, which will catch fire if anything is thrown into it. Is this the volcano you are looking for?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's about it. I just need to find those volcanoes that have erupted. I need volcanic ash to make some cement, so I want to use the map to see if I can find the location of the volcano." Zhao Qingrui nodded. She knew that maps were very important in ancient times. Generally, maps were only in the hands of the imperial palace and generals. Others had almost never seen them.
If her father wasn't the emperor, she wouldn't have come to see him.
"These are just legends, don't take them seriously." Ying Zheng said helplessly. He had never seen a volcano burning with fire, so he just thought they were legends.
"There's no record on the map?" Zhao Qingrui said disappointedly. His father looked like he didn't believe it at all. He guessed that it wasn't on the map either.
"No, what are you doing with that cement?" Ying Zheng asked curiously. The things made by his daughter should not be simple.
"It's for building a house. It seems that cement can't be made, and I don't know if red bricks can be made. Dad, you go ahead and do it. I'll go find a solution first."
The base over there is her own territory, so she can do whatever she wants. Now that her father is the emperor, she doesn't have to worry about so many things.
There was a brick kiln in the village where she lived in her previous life, and she happened to know the structure of the brick kiln.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and wanted to call his daughter, but the girl ran too fast and disappeared in an instant.
After drawing the blueprints of the brick kiln overnight, Zhao Qingrui called over the people he had brought with him who were good at construction and explained to them in detail how to build the brick kiln.
Among the farms my father gave me before, there was also an empty barren mountain. The barren mountain was quite large and the soil there was just right.
Zhao Qingrui took them there directly. If there were not enough people, he would recruit the people from the mountain below and provide them with enough food.
Xie Peiyun and his team had already produced the first edition of the newspaper. When Zhao Qingrui came back, Shang Lian brought these first editions of the newspaper over.
For the first edition of the newspaper, Zhao Qingrui needs it to be exciting enough to attract more people and make the newspaper more meaningful.
The first edition was made by her subordinates. The content is very rich, but it is not exciting enough. It can only be said that it is full of useful information.
In addition to these practical information, she also wanted some entertainment pages. They had never seen these things and could not write about them.
Zhao Qingrui scratched his head and dryly told them two relatively educational crosstalk skits he had seen in modern times, and let them write the rest themselves.
She really has no talent for storytelling, especially those jokes. She thought they were very funny when she read them before, but when she told them, they became different.
Xie Peiyun wrote down carefully what Zhao Qingrui said. Although Zhao Qingrui's story was not very good, he found it very interesting. If he polished it later, these stories would surely be widely circulated.
"When you write this kind of joke story in the future, you must use vernacular Chinese so that everyone can understand it." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Yes." Xie Peiyun took note of it carefully. He knew Zhao Qingrui's purpose. She wanted to popularize education.
With Zhao Qingrui's guidance, the first edition of the newspaper was finally finalized.
Zhao Qingrui started to have people print newspapers. She temporarily had 20,000 copies of the first edition printed, and the price was not high, only three and a half taels.
The paper was provided by the Mohist School. They didn't charge for it in the initial stage, and it was given to Zhao Qingrui to test the waters.
Zhao Qingrui took the first edition of the newspaper to Wangyi Palace and let his father take a look at it first so that he could have a clear idea of what it was.
"So big?" When the newspaper was unfolded, Ying Zheng was really shocked.
"Fortunately, if the current equipment hadn't produced characters too large, I would have wanted to make the newspaper smaller. If the movable type mold is too small, the printed characters will be blurred and illegible." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Take a look at this newspaper. What do you think? Give me some suggestions." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
Ying Zheng unfolded it and read it carefully. There was a lot of content on it, including interpretations of many government decrees, interpretations of Qin Dynasty laws, some tips that can be used in life, jokes and stories, and the content of the essay contest and the rewards were written in a small grid.
A newspaper contains quite a lot of content.
It took more than 20 minutes to finish reading the above content. Ying Zheng leaned comfortably on the stool. Such a newspaper is indeed a good choice to kill time in his spare time.
"This newspaper is pretty good. My daughter is really capable. She can come up with such a method." Ying Zheng said proudly.
If he had known that his daughter was so capable, he should have called her to Xianyang earlier.
Thinking about the fact that his daughter had been raised in Jingshui Pavilion for all these years, Ying Zheng felt like he had missed out on 100 million yuan.
"This is not something I came up with. I saw others do it." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
"How is it? Can it be published?" She and Yin Man have checked this newspaper many times, and there shouldn't be any problems.
"No problem, send it out." Ying Zheng nodded. This was his daughter's first career, and he must support it. Tomorrow he would find some people to act as his assistants, so that his daughter wouldn't be embarrassed if the business failed to sell.
With his father's words, Zhao Qingrui felt relieved immediately.
Early the next morning, Zhao Qingrui had already made arrangements. Several more places selling newspapers were added to the major hubs in Xianyang, and these people were holding simple loudspeakers in their hands.
"Daqin Weekly, don't miss it if you're passing by, it's only three and a half taels."
"Do you want to know about the decrees issued by His Majesty? Do you want to know about the laws of the Great Qin? They are all in the Great Qin Weekly."
"Want to know the latest major events in Daqin? Daqin Weekly will take you to Shanglin Garden to learn about new grain varieties."
......
The sound from the loudspeaker could be heard from far away, especially when it was shouted by someone with a loud voice, and it immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
There is not much entertainment in the Qin Dynasty. All people do every day is eat and sleep.
The sayings that Zhao Qingrui had made to tease Confucianists were almost torn to pieces by those who were bored, and they are still the topic of conversation after dinner.
Now, there was finally something exciting to watch, and these people gathered around at once.
