Because the First Emperor stayed in Langya County, more merchants came and went in Langya County during this period.
Seeing Langya County becoming more and more lively, Ying Zheng felt a little emotional. In the past, he only thought that managing those ignorant people was enough, as long as they stayed honestly in the places he arranged for them to live.
Ever since Zhao Qingrui took charge of the government, he realized that he was wrong.
The people of Qian are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Only when the lives of these people of Qian are better will the Qin Dynasty become better.
Every time he saw his daughter running profitable businesses, many of which could make life better for the people, he felt very happy. He thought his daughter might be more suitable to be the emperor than he was.
After staying in Langya County for more than half a month, Zhao Qingrui and his companions boarded the ship again.
"The sea is not calm at all." Looking at the huge waves in the distance, Yin Man was a little frightened.
"This is normal, don't be afraid, sister." Zhao Qingrui stood next to Yin Man, looking into the distance. The sky was a little gloomy, and it was probably going to rain.
"Wow, what a big fish, little sister, look, what kind of fish is that?" Not far away, a huge fish attracted Yin Man. Yin Man had never seen such a big fish before. Such a behemoth made Yin Man's voice contain fear.
Zhao Qingrui looked over and saw that the big fish's body was covered with light-colored spots, like a chessboard.
"This is a whale shark. It won't attack humans casually." Zhao Qingrui looked at the huge creature in front of him and took a deep breath. They were lucky enough to encounter a whale shark instead of other sharks. Otherwise, this wooden boat would not be able to withstand the bite force of the shark.
Ying Zheng, who was talking to Li Si on the boat, also heard the noise outside and hurried out to check.
Seeing the big fish not far away, Ying Zheng was stunned. What kind of fish is this? It is too big, even bigger than the dragon he shot before.
In front of such a big fish, their big ship seemed so fragile.
"Don't be afraid, father. This is called a whale shark. It has a gentle temperament and will not attack humans casually." Zhao Qingrui walked over and said seriously.
"It's so big, it really doesn't eat people?" Humans seem too small in front of such a big fish, and Ying Zheng was a little speechless.
"No, as long as we don't annoy it, it won't attack us." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
Li Si took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness knows a lot about marine life. I never thought you'd even seen a behemoth like this."
For the first time, Li Si felt that this little princess was so mysterious, as if there was nothing she didn't know.
"I know a little." Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows and met Li Si's inquiring eyes, but she didn't care. She had never concealed her intention.
Now she is the daughter of the First Emperor. Similarly, she has the means to protect herself, and the current system gives her a great sense of security.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, and his meaning was very clear, telling him not to ask any more questions.
Li Si shut up honestly and looked at the whale shark. It was such a big fish, almost as big as the boat His Majesty was riding on. How could he really feel at ease?
Zhao Qingrui also looked at the whale shark. It had no intention of attacking the fleet. It was just swimming in the water, swinging its tail and creating huge waves.
"It really doesn't attack us." Yin Man said excitedly.
"There are many big fish in the sea that will attack humans. I don't know if there are any here. We should also pay more attention. Zhao Fuling, pass the order down and let the fleet go around these big fish." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Yes." Zhao Gao retreated respectfully. The sea was so dangerous, and doing this could indeed help prevent some danger.
Ying Zheng looked at the huge whale shark and wanted to order it to be shot. Killing such a big fish and bringing it back would surely make him famous.
Suddenly he noticed his daughter staring at him, and he silently put his thoughts to rest.
"Father, please don't overthink it. A big fish like this can smash some boats with one bite of its tail." Zhao Qingrui said calmly. His father's thoughts were clearly shown on his face. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, Zhao Qingrui still reminded him.
"I know, I know. The little girl is young, but she's already nagging. Am I that ignorant of the seriousness of the matter?" Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Qingrui. It's not good for his daughter to be too smart.
This girl is not only smart, but also likes to control him and everything.
Zhao Qingrui looked at him dimly. How could she not guess what her father was thinking?
Avoiding some big fish, the days at sea were relatively smooth. Although there were winds and waves, they did not affect Zhao Qingrui and the others.
Starting from Langya County, passing through Rongcheng and Zhifu, and then returning west.
Back on shore, Zhao Qingrui felt top-heavy. She had really gotten used to the days at sea.
However, she still likes the feeling of being down to earth.
"Finally, we are going back." Outside, countless common people were kneeling and bowing. Wherever the First Emperor went on tour, the common people knelt in submission.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Qingrui looked at those people kneeling down. She herself did not like the etiquette of kneeling, but after being here for so many years, she had become accustomed to it.
It has been more than half a year since she came out, and the crops she made are almost ripe. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are loved by countless people. Although the sweet potatoes are not yet ripe, the potato vines are very popular. They grow quickly after being eaten, enriching the dining tables of the people of Qin.
Looking at the crops planted in the fields outside, Zhao Qingrui felt very relieved.
We have changed countless grain varieties this year. When the grain is harvested at the end of the year, we should be able to receive countless tax grains.
Just like Zhao Qingrui's idea, Ying Zheng was already calculating how much grain he could harvest.
As long as there is enough food, the army can set out in two years.
Passing by the sand dunes, Ying Zheng and Zhao Qingrui looked at each other. Ying Zheng felt helpless and felt that this place was extremely unlucky. It would not be so easy for him to die now.
Ying Zheng directly ordered the caravan to move forward at full speed and had no intention of stopping to rest at the Shaqiu Palace. He thought this place was ominous and he clearly expressed his disgust.
As for the officials here, they all had pale faces, not understanding how they had angered His Majesty.
If His Majesty wanted to punish them, everyone began to tremble at the thought.
In their hearts, the First Emperor is still an image of unparalleled majesty, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty.
Zhao Qingrui took a look and didn't pay any attention to it.
When they arrived at Jiuyuan County, the caravan set foot on the Qinzhi Road, and the return journey was shortened countless times.
"Father, will we stop when we pass by Shangjun?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly.
"Well, we need to stay. I also want to see how the construction of the Great Wall in Shangjun is going, and how the soldiers trained by Meng Tian are going." Ying Zheng nodded. He still wanted to see the situation in Shangjun in person.
