In fact, Chen Ke was originally not going to find a successor, because he felt that it was too troublesome to accept apprentices.

But now Chen Ke thinks that if he doesn't accept apprentices, he can still find a successor.

Why do you have to be a teacher in the current sense of the word? Isn't it okay to be a teacher in the modern world of the future?

He is only a gentleman, only a disseminator of knowledge, not a teacher of this person.

Spread the knowledge in their hearts, so that everyone can see the clear knowledge, so that they can make progress little by little.

Chen Ke suddenly understood.

Although they do not inspire them, these people can also find the key to civilization little by little.

But if his own inspiration would save them some time, why didn't he do it?

And Bian Li, who heard Chen Ke's words, looked nervous, with an incredible look on his face: "You, what did you just say?" ”

"Will you take me as an apprentice?"

Chen Ke shook his head slightly, and said with a somewhat disappointed look on his face: "I'm just saying, are you willing to learn from me." ”

He lowered his head: "You and I don't have the name of master and apprentice, I just want to teach you this book I saw at the beginning, so that you can know the truth of this agricultural science." ”

"If you want, you can learn from me."

"But between you and me, there will never be a name of master and apprentice, and you are not allowed to say that you are my apprentice."

"It's not fair to you, but are you willing?"

Chen Ke's voice was very frank, and Bian Shuli knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation.

Being able to learn from Chen Ke is already a very fortunate thing for him, even if he does not have the status of master and apprentice, he is willing to follow behind Chen Ke.

"The lower official is willing."

Bian Shuli followed Chen Ke's statement, and did not call Chen Ke a teacher, but continued to call Chen Ke a prime minister and a subordinate official.

Chen Ping on the side, and Yue Huairang, the official of Zhisu, had a look of joy in their expressions: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Chen and congratulations to Bian." ”

Even if Bianzhuli did not have the status of Chen Ke's apprentice, Chen Ke would not admit this fact, but Yue Huairang and Chen Ping's attitude towards Biansali still changed.

First, it is because Chen Ke is their superior, and he is the top boss.

The second is because both Yue Huairang and Chen Ping are actually from Chen Ke's disciples, and they are also students that Chen Ke does not recognize.

They are all students from the first anthology.

is not only a student of His Majesty the First Emperor, but also a student of Chen Ke and Chen Chengxiang,

Chen Ke didn't say anything, just continued to look at the green pepper and various spices and said, "It's already April weather, and you need to hurry." ”

"Divide these ripe things into two parts, one for one-tenth and the other for nine-tenths."

"The tenth part is reserved for the use of the court, so that the spices that are not used by His Majesty are not used."

"The other nine-tenths are for some of the surrounding imperial farmers to start planting, whether it is green peppers or other spices, the growth cycle is not very long."

Chen Ke calculated the time a little and said: "It is probably about July and August, and we will be able to catch up with the autumn planting again." ”

"Wait until autumn to plant again, and then you can receive it again before winter comes."

Chen Ke had a slight smile in his tone: "In this way, by the time the seeds can be sown next year, a lot of seeds have been accumulated and can be distributed." ”

"At that time, I will order a part of the merchants who are attached to the imperial court and the royal family to plant this thing."

"Then slowly the people can buy the seeds of this spice from the Municipal Property Department, and then plant them with the people."

"When there are people who grow spices in large quantities and make a living from them, the price of spices can be completely reduced, and at that time, these spices can really become spices."

If spices are always spices, this is not a good thing for Chen Ke and Qianshou.

But if spices become spices, it will become a good thing for him and for Qianshou.

The people live on food.

Although the current Chen Ke is still working hard to "let the head of the Qianshou have enough to eat", the future Daqin must be towards the goal of "making the head of the Qianshou able to eat well".

This is the inevitable trend of the progress of the times.

In the Hundred Palaces

Lu Sheng's face was a little tired, but he looked at the things in his hand, and his face was full of excitement.

He finally made it.

The fire gun described by Prime Minister Chen!

A simple thing that can pose a huge threat.

It's just that......

Lu Sheng scratched his head, how did this fire gun look different from what Chen Ke described?

He looked at the huge fire guns placed on the ground in front of him, and he hesitated a little in his heart, what the prime minister said must not be wrong, that is, he did something wrong.

But the question is, at what point did it go wrong?

"Ugh."

Lu Sheng sighed a little helplessly: "I originally wanted to ask the prime minister for credit, but I didn't expect that now I still have to ask the prime minister to answer my doubts." ”

"But what's wrong with this firebolt?"

He didn't understand.

...........

Department of Manufacturing

Nowadays, the manufacturing agency is getting bigger and bigger, and even the manufacturing agency has been divided into two categories, one is to manufacture the things invented by those people, and the other is to constantly research and develop new things.

At this time, the manufacturing department is actually more like a collection of manufacturing plants + research institutes.

Chen Ke looked at the larger and larger manufacturing department, and nodded with satisfaction, this is indeed a good thing for him.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart that when the Manufacturing Department was further expanded, he could write to His Majesty to ask His Majesty to divide the Manufacturing Department into two, one part for the Research Institute and the other for the Manufacturing Bureau.

After the two are divided, they no longer belong to the same category, and the level will naturally drop by half a level.

Chen Ke's transformation of the imperial court structure has not stopped.

But it's slowing down.

He looked at Chen Ping beside him and said, "Chen Ping, I heard that the people from the Manufacturing Department have come up with a lot of new things during this period of time?" ”

Chen Ping had a slight smug look in his eyes: "Back to the prime minister, it's true." ”

"Since the last time it was announced that as long as you can invent and manufacture new things, you can get rewards and rewards, and you will not be bullied by the officials, the people of the Manufacturing Agency have burst out with great creativity."

"Now, in addition to the two prints you left behind, papermaking, cement, and porcelain, someone has invented something as beautiful as porcelain, but more vivid and transparent."

"We call it Liuli."

"There are two kinds of glass, which were invented by two brothers."

"One is brightly colored but not transparent, it just looks crystal clear."

"The other is that the color is not gorgeous, but the transparency is very high, standing on the other side of the glass, you can see the opposite view of the glass."

"Because the glass was fired first, and this thing is somewhat similar to the glass, we didn't change the name to it, but just changed it to glass."

"In order to distinguish, one is glass, and the other is a glass mirror."

Chen Ke listened to Chen Ping's introduction, with a slight smile in his heart.

Isn't this so-called glass mirror glass?

Even without its own so-called invention, glass appeared in this era.

This shows that as long as the creativity of the ancient people was not oppressed, they were able to create many excellent things.

"What else?"

Chen Ping continued to walk forward with Chen Ke, and introduced as he walked: "There is another craftsman, he accidentally did some of the rest of the process when making paper. ”

"Originally, he wanted to receive the penalty, but he suddenly noticed a problem."

"After this process, the paper became softer, and he came up with an idea, what if he continued to make the paper softer?"

"He made an unusually soft paper, but it's just what it is used for today..."

Speaking of this, Chen Ping was a little embarrassed: "The purpose of these papers is a little awkward, for the time being, it is used for changing clothes, wiping the dirt on the desktop, and some other functions. ”

"It doesn't make a big difference."

After hearing this, Chen Ke's eyes instantly lit up.

Unusually soft paper, paper that can be used for changing clothes......

Suddenly, something came to him, and it wasn't toilet paper......

Since he came here, he has always been a nobleman, and he is the top nobleman, so he has not been bothered by a single thing.

For example, changing clothes -

This is a little bit of the ancient civilization's saying, in fact, it is the reincarnation of grains.

In ancient times, "changing clothes" was actually made of bamboo chips......

That feeling.

Well, it's exciting.

He looked at Chen Ping and said with some emotion: "Chen Ping, you have done a good job. ”

"Under your leadership, the Manufacturing Agency is indeed developing in a better direction."

Hearing this praise, Chen Ping's heart suddenly soured.

This is the best compliment for him.

In fact, when he took over the position of director of the manufacturing department, he was very worried and anxious.

Even if Chen Ping is very confident in himself, because his previous director was the current prime minister Chen Ke.

This is a very stressful thing for Chen Ping, his predecessor is so good, if he does a little badly, he will be easily scolded.

Succession is never an easy task.

Fortunately, today, he won Chen Ke's praise, and it can be regarded as a stone in his heart that fell to the ground.

"His Majesty will definitely live up to the trust of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and will definitely do his best."

Qin Coin Bank

Zhang Si, who was busy with a day's tasks, rubbed his cheeks, and then prepared to get off work.

Yes.

I don't know who led the atmosphere in the court, but now they all call the scatter value off duty and the point value as work.

This is an interesting name for those powerful, but it is just a title for Zhang Si.

He stretched, counted the coins in the treasury, and then looked at the sundial in the courtyard.

It's still two quarters of an hour before the end of work.

At this time, not far away, two people supporting each other walked in, their faces with vicissitudes of life, their clothes were tattered, and they looked dirty.

Zhang Si did not dislike these two people, but sat down again, waiting for the officials outside to ask about the business of the two, and then handled it for these two people.

After a while, the little official outside the door came quietly, with a little dazed face.

"Zhang Yan, they said that they wanted to store some money in the Qin Coin Bank, but there was not much money."

"Does our Qin Coin Store have this function?"

Saving some money?

Zhang Si nodded clearly, he looked at Liu Gu and said, "Our Qin Coin Store does have this function, you can bring those two people in." ”

"Remember to ascend the throne and distribute signs,"

Liu Gu nodded.

After a while, the two of them trembled and cautiously came to the counter, looked at Zhang Si inside, and whispered: "This, this official, we heard that Qin Coin Store can save money." ”

"So I want to save my savings."

Zhang Si still asked kindly: "Okay, do you have an account with the Qin Coin Bank?" ”

The two looked at each other and shook the picture, looking confused.

Zhang Si looked at the two of them and asked, "Do those two bring identity certificates?" To store coins, you need to open an account, and you need proof of identity to open an account. ”

】

One of the old men nodded, then took out his identification from his arms and handed it to Zhang Si.

Zhang Si took the certificate, registered carefully, and then took out a piece of paper with special patterns and imprints from under the cabinet, and asked again: "Two old men, how much do you want to save?" ”

The old man trembled and took out a large money bag from his bosom and collapsed it on the counter with a clatter.

"It's a total of one hundred and thirty-five dollars."

Most of the coins on the counter are one copper coin or one copper coin.

Zhang Si didn't feel bored, and chatted with the two while counting: "Why did the two of you think about saving money in the Qin Coin Bank?" ”

Perhaps Zhang Si's attitude was very gentle, and the nervousness of the two old men at this time had gradually faded.

I couldn't help but chat with Zhang Si about homely things.

"The two of us have been selling some soup and food in Xianyang City to make some money to support ourselves, and it is good to have a hundred and ten yuan all year round, and we can take care of the lives of the two of us."

"In the past two years, because of the merits of the king and the immortals, life has gotten better little by little, and now I have saved more than 100 yuan in two months."

"We two old things don't dare to hide at home, for fear of being robbed."

"I just want to save it in the Qin coin bank."

Zhang Si smiled and chatted with the two, and when he finished counting, he was almost finished.

Write the numbers on the paper, register the information, stamp your own seal and the seal of the Qin Coin Bank, and hand over the things to the two of them.

He looked at the figures of the two people staggering away, and there was a little emotion in his tone.

"It's getting better."

He hammered his shoulder and looked at the sundial, which had already passed the end of work: "Let's go, go home." ”

On the way home, looking at the still prosperous Xianyang City, Zhang Si also bought his children the food and toys he had always wanted.

Where did you have such a good day in the past?

The days are indeed getting better day by day.

Daqin is also becoming prosperous day by day.

daybreak

The Great Pilgrimage.

Today's court meeting must be extraordinary, because Wang Jian and Wang Lao, who have not appeared for a long time, also appeared in the court, and the old god was sitting at the front.

The shrimp below looked at the serious expressions of Sangong Jiuqing, and they were all ready to meet the coming storm.

The morning meeting began as usual.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to do?"
