After listening to Chen Ke's words, the craftsman didn't say anything, but he worked harder on his hands.
He thought it was just something the young man wanted to build on a whim, but he didn't expect it to be relevant to thousands of farmers.
It's not that he didn't take care before, but he knew that if it was used in farmers' homes, it would definitely be famous throughout the ages...
In this way, wouldn't his name be passed down along with this farm tool?
"Ding-ding-dong——"
Just as the craftsman was banging on the new farm tools, Han Tan, the foreigner from the Manufacturing Department, hurried in.
As soon as he saw Chen Ke, he said, "Oh my Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
He walked up to Chen Ke and said half-jokingly: "This slave is asking for you like crazy. His Majesty has announced that you are here to pay homage to the palace. Can you come with me quickly?"
Chen Ke looked confused.
What is Brother Zheng doing with me this whole time?
While following Han Tan's footsteps and walking out in a hurry, he looked at Han Tan and asked in a low voice: "Order Han, what does your majesty want from me?"
This is not a big deal, Han Tan just said it directly.
"Today, His Majesty discussed with General Wang the matter of Tongpan, and they talked about the rank of Tongpan."
"I can't make a decision at the moment, so I call you over."
"After all, didn't you come up with this thing called Tong San?"
The corners of Chen Ke's eyes twitched slightly.
He knew that if the emperor summoned him to the palace overnight, there must be nothing good going on.
"Who else has your Majesty summoned?"
Seeing Chen Ke get on the carriage, Han Tan was not so anxious anymore.
"His Majesty also summoned Prime Minister Li to enter the palace. If this slave is right, Prime Minister Li is already in the palace at this time, right?"
After hearing this, Chen Ke stopped asking any more questions and closed his eyes following the swaying chariot.
Damn it, motion sickness is one of the most uncomfortable things in the world.
What's more, this kind of rickety chariot has no fucking shock absorption at all!
No matter how many times he did it, Chen Ke couldn't get used to this dizzy feeling, and he almost wanted to fly out of the sky.

Pei County
When Lu Gong bought salt again, he discovered another thing.
He looked a little ugly: "You mean, if you buy a large amount of salt after half a month, you must report it to the court and get permission from the court before you can buy it."
"And the whereabouts of all this salt must be reported?"
The boy lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Lu Gong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a sneer on his lips.
"Our Majesty really doesn't give you a way to survive!"
"Go and send a message to that person. Just say that I want to meet him in ten days. I hope he can arrive at the agreed place as soon as possible."
The boy stood there and nodded silently.
After the boy left, Lu Gong opened his eyes, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
The emperor wanted to restrict the purchase of salt, but the salt he had purchased before was only enough for them to use for a little more than two months.
In other words, it can be used until the end of October...
"call."
"It seems that Ying Zheng is determined to force these nobles from the Six Kingdoms to rebel..."
........
Zhangtai Palace
Chen Ke hurriedly walked to Zhangtai Palace, then walked in after passing the notice.
As soon as he walked in, he saw three people sitting inside.
"Squeak——"
As a voice sounded, the three people in the palace and six pairs of eyes looked at Chen Ke in unison.
Chen Ke stood there, not knowing for a moment whether he was going in or not.
It was Ying Zheng who laughed, breaking the silence.
"coming?"
"I'm waiting for you, come in."
Chen Ke smiled awkwardly, and then sat next to Ying Zheng, the only place left for him.
"Your Majesty, are you calling me here in such a hurry? Is there something important?"
He looked around, looking at Li Si and Wang Jian, with a serious look on his face: "Prime Minister Li and General Wang are both here. Could it be that something big happened?"
"The Six Kingdoms are plotting rebellion? The Huns in Northern Xinjiang have moved? Or is there also movement in Baiyue?"
Three questions were asked in succession, leaving Ying Zheng speechless.
Why did this guy prepare so many questions?
but.....
He will ask these questions. Does it mean that Chen Ke already knows the solutions to these problems?
For a moment, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly...
Although it's not the right time to ask now, he can find an opportunity to test it out later...
For example, a bunch of government affairs were given to Chen Ke and asked him to stay up late to deal with them. These affairs included a large number of government affairs for Baiyue, the Huns, and the relics of the six countries...
In this way, won’t we be able to get solutions to these government affairs?
Although Chen Ke is a bit useless...
"Ahem."
Ying Zheng restrained his thoughts, looked at Chen Ke opposite and said, "That's it."
"In recent days, the county guards who came out of the Hundred Palaces have gradually arrived in their respective places. I feel that it is time to start selecting "Tong San". "
"But I am a little undecided about the rank of Tong San."
"That's why I call you to come and inquire and see what you have to say."
After Li Si was silent for a moment, he then spoke: "Your Majesty, I feel that the reason why Tong San and Tong San were established in the first place is to monitor the local county guards?"
“If your status is lower than that of a county magistrate and you are restricted by a county magistrate, how can you exercise the power of “passing judgment”? "
Wang Jian had some different opinions: "I think they shouldn't be at the same level."
"The head of a county is like the general of an army. Can an army have two generals?"
"If the relationship between the general judge and the county magistrate is not good, do the people in this place obey the county magistrate or the general magistrate?"
"If you listen to the general judge in everything, then what is the difference between having the governor appointed and not having one?"
After both of them finished speaking, they looked at Chen Ke together: "Brother Chen/Boy Chen, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng's eyes also followed the two people's questions and looked at Chen Ke, with a little confusion and hesitation on his face.
"Yes, Chen Ke, what do you think?"
For a moment, Chen Ke looked at him three times, and he suddenly felt a little stressed...
Why is this idiot putting all the pressure on himself?
Fortunately, he did have a solution.
He looked at Ying Zheng, Wang Jian and Li Si, sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General, I have an idea to get the best of both worlds."
Chen Ke said slowly: "According to my wishes, the general judge should be half a rank lower than the county guard."
"Lower half level?"
Li Si, Wang Jian, and Ying Zheng spoke together, with confusion on their faces.
Chen Ke was unhurried: "Yes, half a level lower."
Then he began to explain: "It's half a level lower. In this case, in terms of local government affairs, the general judge must obey the county governor."
"But they are not one level lower, so the status of the two is actually quite different."
"The county governor cannot act according to his own wishes. If it is really not feasible, he needs to discuss it with the judge."
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Correspondingly, the general judge should have more power than the county governor."
"These powers are not explicit, they are implicit."
"For example, Tongpan can communicate directly with His Majesty without going through the channel of the county guard. If there is evidence, he can directly contact the local army. After providing evidence, he can directly control the county guard."
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "In this way, the county governor is afraid of the power in the hands of Tongpan, but his status is a little higher than that of Tongpan."
"Although Tong San has the ability to restrict the county guard, he is half a level lower than the county guard to a certain extent."
“The two restrict each other.”
"Of course, this is not necessarily safe, but it is one of the safer methods."
"This is also the method we can do currently."
Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Wang Jian all nodded after hearing this.
Wang Jian even sighed and said, "Prime Minister Li, take a look."
"I just said that this kid Chen Ke will definitely be able to solve this problem."
"You still don't believe it."
"Now, I am right, right?"
Li Si also sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, Jiang is still very old. The old general can guess this step. It is really amazing."
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with the same admiration.
Only Chen Ke sat there with a confused look on his face, what do you mean?
What does it mean to know that I have a way to solve this problem? Did you design a trap for me?
You know everything, just act for me?
It turns out that the source of resentment is myself?
Chen Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. He looked at the three of them and said, "Alas."
"Old General, are you really...really...really what do you want me to say?"
He shook his head, with helplessness on his face.
Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha, Chen Ke, this is a good thing."
"You kid, don't you always show your huge potential in desperate situations?"
"Doesn't this give you a chance to explode?"
Seeing the teasing looks on the three people's faces, Chen Ke put his forehead on his hands and sighed.
...........
At this time, outside Linzi County
A large ship came from the distant ocean riding the wind and waves, with people standing on it.
The ship had a heavy draft and its sails were still flapping.
There is a black flag hanging on the ship, which is the Black Dragon Flag of Da Qin.
Xu Fu stood on the boat, looking into the distance with a dull expression, but New China was full of thoughts.
He has been out to sea since the end of January or the beginning of February, and now it is the end of August.
For nearly a year, he wandered outside and finally found the pure land of Fusang, a land of sunset.
And Fusang did not disappoint His Majesty or the Shaofu.
There's really a lot of silver on it.
Thinking of this, Xu Fu turned his head and looked at the ships behind him.
That ship contained a lot of silver ore, which was mined from the Iwamiyama silver mine!
Xu Fu had tears in his eyes: "Fu, you have fulfilled your mission!"
........
old han land
Zhang Liang stood there, silently looking at the ancient palace.
"I'm back."
"He's finally back."
