Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, it was rare for him to see Chen Ke so quickly express his attitude in support of one thing, perhaps because Chen Ke liked Mingzhe too much to protect himself.

"You agree too?"

He shook his head and chuckled, "However, this system is indeed a good thing. ”

Ying Zheng was a little silent and helpless: "The household registration system is indeed a very useful thing, which can easily make those foreigners no longer reject their identity." ”

He looked at Chen Ke and said faintly: "Then this matter is to be handed over to Fusu." ”

Ying Zheng's eyes glanced at Fusu, and then quickly skimmed over, like a dragonfly dotting water, which made people not care much.

"This matter can be regarded as the first court affairs that you took over after you became the crown prince, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Fusu immediately bent down and saluted, with a solemn tone in his tone: "The son will obey his father's will, and he will definitely not disappoint his father." ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Okay, let's get busy." ”

"Chen Ke, Li Si and I, and the two of them, there are some other things, the first time you take over this kind of thing, you should also look and observe a lot, and don't make some decisions easily."

Fusu humbly listened to some of Yingzheng's experiences, and he could understand that Yingzheng told him these things at this time, in fact, the purpose was to let him quickly master some of the ability to deal with the court.

Learning has always been a very important thing.

After Fusu left, Ying Zhengcai looked at Chen Ke with a little ostentatiousness, and he couldn't hide the pride in his tone.

"Chen Ke, Li Si."

"Fusu's performance this time is not bad, right?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, the unconcealable smugness in Ying Zheng's tone had already exposed his thoughts, and Li Si and Chen Ke glanced at each other and smiled.

Li Si said first: "Of course, His Royal Highness Fusu is smart, and the most rare thing is that even if he received a lot of Confucian teachings back then, His Royal Highness Fusu at this time can also stand as a "prince" to make the best choice for Daqin and the world. ”

"It's a huge change, and it's also a decision-maker's capacity."

Chen Ke is also not stingy with his own appreciation, after all, this is his own disciple.

He looked at Lees and said; "Prime Minister Li Cheng is right, this change of His Royal Highness is actually the most core."

"It's like a puppet, with a heart, it becomes a life."

"His Royal Highness Fusu is not stuck in the so-called "benevolence", but abandons this form and chooses a grander "benevolence".

Chen Ke sighed: "Sometimes, it is precisely the "benevolence" that is too grand that it will appear cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

"In fact, Lao Tzu once expounded the most true and irrefutable truth."

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs."

Today, many interpret this phrase as "Heaven and earth are not merciful, and all things under heaven are regarded as lifeless tributes."

"But it's not."

Chen Ke gushed endlessly, and even talked about Lao Tzu.

"Combined with the context of what Lao Tzu said, we can understand that what Lao Tzu wants to convey is not that heaven and earth are not merciful, but on the contrary, Lao Tzu believes that this kind of heaven and earth is the greatest benevolence."

"Treat everyone equally, treat everything in the world as the same, not to be particularly good to anyone, and not to be particularly bad to anyone."

"This is the real benevolence."

"And today's His Royal Highness Fusu has mastered the rudiments of this "benevolence", learned to stand on a high place, look at the people in the low place, learn to look at the overall situation, and choose a way that is good for the whole country and the majority of people to govern the country."

Although Chen Ke did not directly praise Fusu's treatment, it was more exaggerated than Li Si.

He said that heaven and earth are "great benevolence", and he also said that Fusu is also "great benevolence", equating Fusu with the way heaven and earth deal with things.

】

How can this not be a compliment?

Hearing this, Yingzheng's heart was more joyful, after all, his son was praised by the two great sages, how could he not be happy?

It's an instinctive reaction that a father has.

He waved his hand, slightly disgusted: "Okay, okay, don't praise that kid Fusu." ”

"If Chen Ke hadn't helped him and educated him back, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what kind of character he is now."

"Not to mention what we have achieved now."

Chen Ke is very modest: "As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog, and His Royal Highness Fusu has His Majesty's blood flowing in his body, so he can be like this." ”

"Otherwise, without the guidance of His Majesty's bloodline, even if I have great ability, it will be impossible to pull His Royal Highness Fusu back."

Ying Zheng sneered, pointed at Chen Ke and said, "You kid, praise you twice, you are humble." ”

"Are you afraid that I will assign you some task?"

Hearing this, Chen Ke's scalp subconsciously went numb, according to his experience, when Ying Zheng said this, he wanted to beat him up and then arrange a task for him.

He glanced at Li Si beside him, and Li Si obviously reacted, just sat there with his arms crossed, and looked at Chen Ke with a smile on his face.

Chen Ke was helpless, so he could only say: "Why did Your Majesty say this? ”

"The minister said before that he should do his best for His Majesty."

Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and asked directly, "Oh? Is this true? ”

Chen Ke knew it in his heart, and immediately said: "Naturally, take it seriously." ”

Ying Zheng immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahahahaha, that's good, that's good." ”

"I happen to have two things that I need you for."

"If you take the initiative to ask for an errand now, I'll leave it to you."

Chen Ke slandered in his heart, where is this active request? Isn't this an overt compulsion?

It's just that there is nothing to be done at this time, but so.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Ying Zheng's expression was a little relaxed: "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." ”

"First, before you came back, Li Si was talking to me, and he wanted to hold a lecture in the Hundred Families Palace and invite the great sages of the Hundred Schools."

"Now is the time."

He said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence that you came back, this event is about to be prepared, and you are back, which means that you are also destined for him." ”

"Why don't you go up and talk about it?"

Chen Ke was a little flustered in his heart: "Your Majesty, just let me go up and talk about it?" Nothing else? ”

Ying Zheng immediately said: "That's not it. ”

"Li Si is busy with affairs, your senior brother Zuo Ge said that he is a stuffy gourd, the people of the peasant family are unwilling, and you also know the character of the Taoist, so he can't organize it at all."

"So, there is still a lack of an organizer."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke: "I think about it, and I feel that this organizer should be looking for a great sage, at least if the main ones have no opinions." ”

"So, is the right person......

The words were not finished, but Ying Zheng's eyes were looking at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke immediately took the initiative to say: "I see." ”

"Why bother, Your Majesty? This matter is left to the minister. ”

He looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the second thing?" ”

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke: "Actually, the second thing has something to do with you, or rather, it is something you made up before." ”

He said with a smile: "Didn't you read a book in Penglaizhou before, saying that you want to re-mint coins, and you have already found a new forging method to forge copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins?" ”

"Now that the past few years have passed, the gold and silver transported from Qinnu Island have been piled up and temporarily collected in the warehouse."

"Daqin's economy and people's lives are gradually getting better."

"Although Qin Banliang can still be used, it is no longer able to meet the expanding needs of the people."

Ying Zheng sighed: "I think about it, maybe this is the time to issue a new currency." ”

He looked at Chen Ke: "What do you think?" ”

Chen Ke's expression immediately became serious, and he thought for a moment before he said, "The minister feels the same way." ”

Currency is a thing that should be sooner rather than later.

New copper and silver coins have not been implemented before, mainly because the lives of the people and the economy of Daqin have not recovered, and at that time they cannot be said to be in decay, they are simply in ruins.

Now that new flowers have grown on the ruins, it's time to start building a beautiful city-state.

"It's just Your Majesty, and the minister still has a concern."

He muttered slightly: "There is no problem with the issuance of copper and silver coins, but the hairstyle of gold coins is not ......"

Chen Ke was worried.

According to the current basic purchasing power, money is still very valuable, and a copper coin can definitely not be compared with a dollar in later generations.

At that time, thirty yuan could buy one stone of rice, and Qin Yishi was equal to about sixty catties now, which means that thirty dollars could buy sixty catties of millet.

One penny can buy two catties of millet.

The current millet is about six yuan to eight yuan per catty, which means that one yuan in the Qin Dynasty is about equivalent to three yuan to four yuan now.

This is the most basic conversion, taking grain as the standard, but the current grain output is actually much higher than in ancient times, so it can't be converted in this way, basically it is necessary to multiply several times on this conversion unit.

Then the question arises.

Will the appearance of excessively large currency denominations lead to "worthlessness"?

Chen Ke did not study economics, and he was worried about it.

And Ying Zheng and Li Si also frowned after listening to Chen Ke's concerns, what Chen Ke said was indeed reasonable.....

Li Si looked at Ying Zheng, with some caution in his voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is indeed reasonable. ”

"The minister thinks that copper coins can be issued temporarily, and as for silver coins and gold coins, they can not be issued for the time being."

"When the economy gradually develops, some expensive things, and even luxury goods, can be borne by ordinary families, and they are considering hairstyle gold and silver coins."

"The issuance of gold and silver coins will not completely replace copper coins in a short period of time, but it can gradually replace some copper coins with smaller denominations."

Chen Ke listened to Li Si's plan and touched his chin slightly.

Li Si's so-called "ordinary family" can also afford luxury goods and precious goods, and it is not that ordinary families can buy these things at will.

It means that some ordinary families can also buy it by gritting their teeth, and it will not affect the most basic survival state.

For example, now, more families are ruthless and gritting their teeth, and they can be ruthless to buy any brand of luxury goods.

In fact, Li Si's plan is very simple and straightforward, to use a comparison, that is, not to use "copper coins" as the same unit of "yuan".

Use "Copper Coins" as the same unit of "Corner".

In this way, when the economy gradually develops, copper coins can be slowly replaced like "horns".

Just like in today's society, there are very few cents of things, generally speaking, they are measured by one dollar, one dollar.

Chen Ke nodded: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a way. ”

"Taking copper coins as the most basic and slowly needs to be eliminated as a monetary unit can ensure that with the development of time and the economy, the currency can keep up with the lives of the people."

Daqin's economy is now at a relatively low level, and when the development is on the right track, the development of Daqin's realm will soar rapidly.

The after-effect of this surge is the depreciation of the economy's currency.

Therefore, it is necessary to control this soaring and depreciation, otherwise it is very easy to have an excessively large gap between the rich and the poor.

Ying Zheng bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

"That's the second thing, and I'll leave it to you."

"I believe you can do it well."

After Chen Ke took the next task, he thought about the bunch of tasks he had received at the beginning of the year, and he suddenly felt a little.... It's hard to put into words.

But he still said, "Honorable Order." ”

..........

Northern

Han Xin stood on the shore of the North Sea, and there were some ripples on the surface of the North Sea Lake in front of him.

Meng Tian stood quietly beside him, his eyes full of memories and nostalgia.

For a long time, I don't know who spoke first.

"The Western Regions is a hidden danger after all."

It's Meng Tian.

Meng Tian smiled, turned around, looked at Han Xin and said, "Your Majesty's holy decree has arrived, and you will be awarded the eleventh rank to the right chief, and the rank of ranger general will be crowned, and the official residence will be three grades." ”

"The First World War was a success. It is to step into the eleventh rank of the twenty-rank military meritorious lords, and officially step into the ranks of the middle nobles. ”

"Now you are the real brocade."

Han Xin was a little undeniable, he looked at Meng Tian and said: "Your Majesty's reward for me is too heavy, in fact, the credit for this time is not mine, but Chang'anbo." ”

At this time, Han Xin had already heard some news about the capital from the mouth of the person who delivered the message, and he also knew that Chen Ke was named Chang'anbo.

Meng Tian smiled: "Actually, Prime Minister Chen doesn't care about this, does he?" ”

"Even, I think Prime Minister Chen Cheng should be happy to let these credits fall on you."

He said with some meaning: "Prime Minister Chen Cheng is only a year old, and he is already the third duke and the title of earl. ”

"How much room is there for sealing on top of him?"

"And how much credit will he have for the prime minister?"

When these words were said at this time, they seemed to be meaningful, and Han Xin also understood the meaning.

just said with emotion: "In the court that day, the prime minister should also understand this truth, so he has been pushing back the real power." ”

"Otherwise, if you really have real power, you will be sealed step by step in the future, from the uncle to the wait, from the wait to the duke, from the duke to the king......"

"I'm afraid it's too late to regret it."
