This is Chen Ke's advice to latecomers, and it is also Chen Ke's warning to Chen Ping.

And Chen Ping also heard this warning, but he understood better that this was not only a warning, but also a kind of guidance.

As long as he can do one of these requirements, he will be able to continue to move up the ladder.

And what he wants is actually the promotion of power and the step-by-step promotion of position, as for whether he has become a "servant" of those people, he does not care.

Or Chen Ping is also willing to become the servant of those people, because in Chen Ping's expectation, those people will definitely grasp some of the lifeblood of the future Great Qin.

And this possibility has been seen recently.

Fundamentally speaking, whether it is Chen Ke's previous papermaking skills, or engraving printing, or the celadon and white porcelain taken out by the Manufacturing Department later, including the cement that is taken out now.

These are all things that belong to the Manufacturing Agency.

And it belongs to the things that these people made or called "invented", and these things will definitely fill all corners of Daqin.

There will definitely be more of this in the future.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the brains of the kings of the future generations, then these people must be placed in an extremely high position.

And the people who serve them will naturally rise like these people.

What's more, in fact, it is not a service provider, but a leader?

Therefore, Chen Ping cherished this opportunity very much, and secretly thought about how to continue to behave in his heart, and let Chen Ke and the emperor see it.

For the sake of power, something can also be done.

This is his mind.

The strategist has always been like this.

After thinking about it, the three of them had already arrived at the previously demarcated area.

Because cement, whether it is named or itself, belongs to the junction of water and soil, so when demarcating the area, it is taken in the middle of these two areas.

It is worth mentioning that the division of regions is not completely incompatible, but intersecting and blending with each other.

According to the words of the divided, this belongs to the "birth of the five elements" and "the perfection of the two rites".

"Fengchang, Prime Minister, has arrived."

Chen Ping stood at the door, looking at the sobriety inside with a kind expression, at this time he was already unaware that it was dirty inside.

An old man in clean clothes stood there with a slightly cramped look on his face.

The biggest official he has ever seen in his life is Chen Ping, the deputy director, how have he ever seen high-ranking and powerful people like Chen Ke and Li Si?

One is the head of Jiuqing, the other is the head of the three princes, except for the emperor and the crown prince in the world, is there anyone with the power to cover these two people?

"Xiaomin has seen Chen Fengchang and Prime Minister Li Cheng."

Chen Ke had a kind smile on his face, and said as he walked inside: "Did you adjust the ratio and formula of cement to achieve the desired effect?" ”

"What's your name?"

The old man lowered his head and said softly: "Qi Yu Fengchang is the villain. ”

"The villain has no surname, and he does five at home, so everyone calls me the fifth child."

Chen Ke nodded, stepped forward, looked at the pile of things placed in the middle of the courtyard, and then said, "You can demonstrate it and show me and the prime minister." ”

After hearing this, Lao Wu hurriedly bowed his waist and stepped forward.

When he walked in front of the pile of cement, the momentum of the whole person changed, from the previous submissiveness to the resolute.

While he was stirring things, Chen Ke stood there watching the changes in his body, with a look of relief on his face.

But Li Si was a little dazed.

He whispered: "Chen Ke, after this person started doing things, the momentum on his body seems to have changed. ”

"Is this what you've always said about "the momentum that a person who studies things should have?"

Chen Ke nodded slightly, and he looked at the man.

In fact, Lao Wu is not a standard researcher, because he doesn't actually know why these things are like this.

He just knew that these things would be like this.

But that's enough for now.

Now that their identities are respected, no one will look down on "craftsmen" in the future.

These craftsmen can truly change from "craftsmen" to "researchers", and then to "scientists".

Such a change is Chen Ke's expectation for Daqin, and it is also something that Chen Ke is preparing to support step by step.

Chen Ke knows that if the country wants to continue to progress, then there must be these "scientists".

But the problem is that these people are not able to get the respect they deserve, so how can anyone who reads like this be willing to become "craftsmen"?

But can a country do without craftsmen?

At this time, the fifth child continued to stir the cement in front of him, and the sun above his head was very face-saving, which was very obvious at this time.

The winter sun is not warm, but the light is abundant.

In a short time, the fifth child was ready, and a thick layer of cement was laid on the ground, and a low wall was built on the other side.

Lao Wu stepped forward, and at this time he became submissive again.

"Qi Yu Fengchang, Prime Minister, this thing has been done."

"According to previous experience, it should take two hours, almost to start drying, and after one night, you can see the finished product, which is solid."

Li Si was a little dumbfounded, he looked at Chen Ke beside him and said, "Another night?" ”

"Then what are you bringing me for?"

"Why don't you get it ready and come back?"

Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders, looked at Li Si and said, "I originally wanted to be ready to bring you here again, but didn't you urge me?" ”

He pointed to the wall and ground in the distance: "However, in order to avoid suspicions that should not appear, such as Brother Li, do you make a mark to prove that it is indeed what you saw today?" ”

Li Si blinked slightly, and then snorted coldly: "I thought you really took me to see things, but it turned out that you asked me to be a proof." ”

He pressed a hand directly on it.

A handprint appeared.

"Is that good?"

..........

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the time finally arrived on the evening of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.

At this time, Xianyang City was in the city.

A ballad was being sung.

"Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, twenty-four, sweep the house, twenty-five, grind tofu, twenty-six, go buy meat."

"I swept the house and grinded tofu, and the house was clean for the New Year."

Under such an environment and songs, almost half of the families in Xianyang City, or the entire Great Qin, began to clean up their own recipes.

On the morning of the twenty-fourth.

Zhangtai Palace

Today is the penultimate pilgrimage meeting before the Chinese New Year, and it is also the time when the storm is coming.

Everyone is waiting and looking forward to it.

"Stump, Tread, Tread—"

Ying Zheng's footsteps sounded, and his figure and Han Tan's sharp voice appeared in this hall.

It's like the drums of war.

The sound of winter.

ps: I'm getting better, so I wrote a little bit and wished everyone a happy new year!
