Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sneered.

Some people always feel that they will pick up the past and put it down gently.

It's just that these people have forgotten what kind of person they are.

When he was a teenager, he was able to kill Chang Poison, and after being pro-government, he was able to exile Lu Buwei, so why would he be open to them now?

People are always confident when they shouldn't.

This is the most fundamental reason for a person's failure.

Penglai Chau

Chen Ke stood by the sea with a few people.

The manufacturing department is not yet completely organized, but the craftsmen here are ready.

On the flat beach by the sea, salt pans have been excavated.

These salt pans are dedicated to making salt.

Chen Ke stood in the distance, looking out at the beach surrounded by templates, and some of the white salt in it shimmered in the sun.

He sighed with emotion and said, "In just a few days, I was able to get so much salt." ”

"The salt-drying method is indeed much stronger than the drenching method."

Fusu on the side also smiled and said, "Teacher, the method you came up with is naturally much stronger than the ordinary method." ”

"And most importantly, the salt produced by the drying method is much better than the salt produced by the decoction method."

"I have never seen salt like this, as white as snow in the sky."

Chen Ke looked at the salt with a slight smile in his eyes.

At this time, Penglaizhou was able to make salt, which was a good thing for Daqin and Penglaizhou.

But it is precisely because it is a good thing that we should be more careful.

"Send heavy troops to surround this place, and don't allow any strange idlers to enter this place."

Chen Ke said coldly: "Although we want to fish, we must not use such an important thing as bait. ”

"They don't deserve it yet."

Fusu also nodded slightly, and Li Xin on the side even bowed his head and said: "Salt is a national weapon, and it really can't be used as bait." ”

"It's just that if there are not enough benefits, how can you get those people to do it?"

Chen Ke did not agree with Li Xin's words, he looked at the boundless waves in the distance and said, "Interests? Why profit? ”

He said with emotion: "All those people want is a knighthood and the abolition of counties, so they will definitely do it in various counties." ”

"In other words, it is necessary to start from the leaders and the people."

"They also know that His Majesty's decision is something that no one can change except His Majesty himself."

"Therefore, the most important thing is to make Your Majesty feel cold to the heads of the world, to the officials of the world, and to be disappointed in people everywhere."

"They may stir the hearts of the leaders everywhere, but they don't pay attention to the salt."

"Salt and their hearts are very important, but they can't make Your Majesty change his attention."

Chen Ke shook his head, and said with mockery in his voice: "This kind of person can only see and consider the immediate interests, but they can't see the long-term interests. ”

"I'm asking you to take care of this thing, but I'm just worried that some people will take risks."

"The only thing that can move people's hearts in this world is profit."

Fusu and Li Xin stood aside, just listening quietly, and did not say anything about it.

Chen Ke glanced at the salt pan in the distance again, and then walked outside with his hands behind his back.

As he walked, he said, "When is the latest when salt production can be carried out on a large scale here in Yantian?" ”

Guan Zhuo, who was following behind the three of them, immediately stepped forward: "Governor Qiqi, if you count it according to the days, it will be July at the earliest." ”

July?

Chen Ke counted the days in his heart.

July is the hottest time of summer, the sun is poisonous, the time to dry salt can be longer, and the salt will naturally come out.

It's already June, which means that it will take a month to make salt on a large scale?

He nodded slightly: "It's a little slower, but it's okay." ”

"It's just that after this salt is ready, but what are you going to do?"

Guan Zhuo knew in his heart that this was Chen Ke's research and consideration of "salt production" and "Municipal Property Department" these days.

After thinking for a while, he said directly: "Governor Qiqi, salt is a thing of people's livelihood and is related to the use of thousands of families. ”

"The idea in Xiaguan's heart is that when the salt drying method can stabilize large-scale salt production, he will start to release salt in batches."

"The price of this salt is 30% cheaper than ordinary salt, so as to ensure that everyone can afford to eat salt."

"Now in Penglaizhou, in addition to the State and Municipal Property Bureau, the county, county and city property departments have been established."

"The municipal material affairs departments of each county and county can come to the state and city property departments to collect salt, and then transport it to the localities themselves."

"In this way, salt can not only be officially arranged, but also paved to a place in time."

Chen Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, he shook his head and said, "Although this method is good, it has some flaws. ”

"Salt is one of the most important things for people's livelihood, and if it can't be sold, it's not a good thing for the Qianshou."

"And with such an important thing in charge of the Municipal Property Administration, how can it ensure that those orders do not fill their pockets?"

After Chen Ke glanced at Guan Zhuo, he continued: "After you go back, think about it again and see if there is any way to get the best of both worlds." ”

While a few people were talking, they had already walked to a small mound by the sea.

Chen Ke looked at the boundless ocean, and just sighed faintly: "Salt is now in the hands of the imperial court, but it can't always be in the hands of the imperial court. ”

"As long as this "institution" that controls the salt is in nature the imperial court, it belongs to His Majesty."

"As for whether it is a yamen, a court, or a state or county court, it doesn't matter very much."

"Do you understand?"

Guan Zhuo listened to the Xili Lake Mud, a concept that was still too difficult for him.

Chen Ke didn't say much about this matter, just glanced at him and said, "Think about it when you go back." ”

"You can't ask me to think about everything, it won't do you the slightest."

"Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the water and water, one day I will leave Penglaizhou, and this time will probably not be too long."

"When the time comes, don't you need to think about the affairs of Penglai Continent for yourself?"

Guan Zhuo just lowered his head, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.

These days, he felt the wisdom of this Governor Chen, and he relied on him a little in silence.

He knew in his heart that this was not a good thing.

But the feeling of getting something for nothing is so good, which makes Guan Zhuo a little addicted to it for a while, and he doesn't even want to use his brain.

Now that Chen Ke said it, he felt a little guilty.

Keep your head down and don't say a word.

Chen Ke turned his head, looked at Huo Shi who was standing behind him, and said, "Especially you." ”

"You study more during this period of time, take a look at it more, and don't often follow the state court."

"A lot of things in the state are macroscopic considerations, if you have been following the state's policies, when will you be able to see the real scenery and walk out of your own real road?"

Chen Ke's face was dissatisfied.

In fact, it is convenient to come out to see the salt farm today, and the most important thing is to deal with the laziness of these people.

When I was still in Penglaizhou, I could certainly provide them with some novel methods and architectures, even distant directions.

But what about when you're gone?

How about returning to Xianyang City by yourself?

Aren't these people being raised as waste by themselves?

Of course, more importantly.

These people are lazy, what should he do?????

Since these people began to be lazy, the days when he could touch the fish became less and less, and he had to be passively busy.

Chen Ke touched his hand in the wide sleeve, and thought sadly that he had been getting thinner and thinner these days.

I still have to stimulate the diligence of these people, otherwise I won't be able to fish at public expense....

This is a big deal for Chen Ke.

And when Chen Ke was thinking about touching the fish, Huo Shi and Guan Zhuo, who were following Chen Ke, lowered their heads a little guiltily and listened to Chen Ke's teachings.

Only Fusu looked at Chen Ke with a strange expression, he always felt that his teacher's purpose in doing this was not just for this.

There must be a deeper reason, right?

Like want to be lazy or something?

But although he saw it through, Fusu didn't say a word.

The teacher has been diligent for so long, and now it's okay to let him be lazy for a while.

If you don't let the teacher touch the fish, how can you have a reason to make the teacher work harder later?

There is a degree of relaxation, Fusu still has a preliminary grasp of this skill.

.........

In a blink of an eye, it was already close to July.

Chen Ke sat in the courtyard, the summer days were really difficult, even if he came up with the method of eliminating stones and making ice before.

After a slight yawn, he half-squinted his eyes.

I was thinking about the next step for Penglaizhou.

Now Baijiagong has gradually been established in various counties and counties of Penglaizhou, and a lot of talents have been selected in the previous batch of literary anthologies.

Although the township orders, pavilion chiefs, and village orders in various places have not been completely arranged, they have been able to cover some larger townships and villages.

This is also a huge step forward for Penglaizhou.

The Municipal Property Department has also been arranged in various parts of Penglaizhou, although salt has not yet been able to be sold, but some things like renting farm tools do not need to come to Penglaizhou.

People from all over the country can submit applications and receive farm tools in their respective county offices.

It is only because of the importance of these agricultural tools and the fact that the Municipal Property Administration has only been established and has not yet been integrated with the Manufacturing Department, so after those people apply for the unified application, the Municipal Property Administration of the county government will report to the Municipal Property Administration of each county.

After that, the county and city property departments will send the farm tools to the county office, and when the date comes, the county government will hand over the things to the county.

The manufacturing agency is also gradually being established, but now it is still in this Penglaizhou at the beginning.

It's the State Manufacturing Agency.

Chen Ke, the head of the Manufacturing Department, applied for it, and Ying Zheng approved Lin Fang to serve as a temporary officer.

This is good news for the Mo family.

After all, in fact, Chen Ke cannot be regarded as a complete Mo family, this can be regarded as the first person in the Mo family to be an official in the imperial court.

When Lin Fang learned the news, he was also sincerely afraid, but in the end he was persuaded by Chen Ke.

Unlike the Municipal Property Agency, the Manufacturing Agency does not require a high level of political awareness.

In Chen Ke's view, the current function of the manufacturing department actually needs to be divided in the later stage.

The Manufacturing Department is a natural "enterprise".

In other words, it is a natural combination of a "state-owned enterprise" and a research institute.

It's not even just a "state-owned enterprise", it's several.

Because the Manufacturing Agency will never sell only one kind of thing, when the manufacturing of these things gradually becomes louder, the Manufacturing Agency will be cut.

The first step, of course, is to cut off the business of selling and become the "Great Qin System X Agency".

And when that happens, something completely new, the concept of "state-owned enterprises", will appear.

This is a state-run unit, a for-profit unit, but when necessary it can be converted into something that is not calculated for profit.

It will also be the most fundamental guarantee of Daqin.

These things are to be firmly in the hands of the emperor and the imperial court, and even Chen Ke does not intend to follow some systems in later generations.

The "Great Qin System X Agency" is still an official institution, and even all the officials in it are all officials and minor officials who belong to the Eight Classics of the Great Qin.

It was the same as the other departments in the imperial court, without any difference.

He will not find merchants to serve as officials in this area, nor will he allow merchants to be in charge of this place, let alone allow some middle and lower managers here to be merchants or descendants of some people.

In this institution created by Chen Ke, all those who enter must pass the examination and the examination conducted by the state in a unified manner, just like the rest of the officials.

And once it enters the unified examination at the national level, few people can intervene to insert their own people into it.

This is also a layer of umbrella that Chen Ke made for him.

And this system will become a system that cannot be changed in the future.

The reason for doing this is that Chen Ke is worried that after the death of the first emperor and the emperor of the Fusu generation, some people will use some treacherous means to control the imperial power.

and then turned the entire Great Qin into Chen Ke's most hated appearance.

A country can never be controlled by money, merchants, and copper stench, even if it starves to death standing up, it can never become a businessman who will only oppress the head of the country.

If the backbone of a country is gone, then the country will be corrupted very quickly.

It's scary.

Chen Ke pressed his forehead, and he felt that it was not just this new, huge institution that was about to appear.

Other organizations also need to prevent the emergence of "Samura".

But the "Maisons" are the most difficult to guard against, and the least to guard against, because they have a much higher starting point than others.

You can't restrict the children of officials from entering the imperial court and not from participating in the anthology.

But once you participate, it will be a huge obstacle for those ordinary Qiantou, and people will naturally choose people they are familiar with.

This is an unsolvable problem.

Chen Ke stroked his forehead again.

Perhaps, it is not impossible, as long as he is willing to cut himself.
