There were several old people sitting around him, obviously the elders of the clan here.
Several people looked melancholy and helpless: "Then what can we do?"
"It's not what it used to be now."
"Qin has unified the world, and his king, Kande, is the county guard. Do we dare not to listen?"
"No matter what, as long as they hand us over, we will die."
The old man at the head trembled and said painful words.
They are the Lai Yi people and have lived here for generations.
They lived here hundreds of years ago. Later, Zhou enfeoffed Qi here, but Qi did not manage this place very well.
Later, when the Qin Dynasty unified the world, they moved to Linzi County together with Wang Kande, the then governor of Jiaodong County.
They originally thought that Wang Kande was a close friend, but who would have thought that he was a wolf with hidden ambitions?
Mutar's expression was solemn. He looked at the many clan elders and said: "Everyone on the left and right is going to die, so it's better to give it a try."
"I heard that the three counties of Jiaodong were divided into one state, and the governor of this state was a person who also held a high position in the Qin Dynasty."
"He used to be the Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, and now he is Feng Chang, the head of the nine ministers, who also serves as the governor of Penglaizhou."
Mutar exhaled, with a bit of determination in his expression.
"I asked someone to inquire before. Many of his deeds in Xianyang City were for the head of Guizhou. He was quite benevolent and righteous."
He looked at one of the clan elders and said: "The 'paper' we use today was created by him, as was the printing technology. "
“Even though we didn’t have access to printing, the reason we can afford books now is because of printing.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford books in another hundred years."
Mutar narrowed his eyes slightly: "When the governor comes, I will do a little test."
"If he is willing to give us a way to survive, then we will take refuge in him!"
"Even if the big shots come from Xianyang, don't they need the people at the bottom of our place?"
The leader of the tribe was silent for a long time, and finally chose to nod.
He looked at Muthar and said, "Do as you say."
"The worst ending is death."
"Be prepared. If something unexpected happens, let some young children in the group leave immediately and go to sea. No matter where you go, you must go out!"
“There’s always a glimmer of life out there on the sea.”
"If this county guard is really willing to give us a way to survive, then we will die for him!"
Everyone looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

Jiang family
Jiang Ruoang looked at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him with a cold expression, his expression indifferent.
His voice was soft, the whiteness on his face seemed to disappear, and the look in his eyes was as sinister as a poisonous snake.
"Old Qi, what did I say before?"
Jiang Yuyang, who was called Lao Qi, had cold sweat constantly falling on his face. How could he not know what his father meant?
His heart was filled with regret.
I got drunk for a while and did something I shouldn't have done.
"Father."
Jiang Yuyang's voice was filled with sadness: "It's my son's fault."
Jiang Ruoang closed his eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Yuyang immediately understood what Jiang Ruoang meant, the corners of his eyes trembled, and there was some fear and confusion in his eyes.
Later it became ruthless.
The wrinkles on his face also changed with the changes in his expression. His mood changed from fear at the beginning to determination and calm now.
"The Jiang family motto is one: the hatred of the country and the family must never be forgotten."
"The Jiang family motto is:..."
Jiang Yuyang knelt there, silently reciting Jiang's family motto.
By the time he recited the last item, his mood had completely stabilized and he looked at Jiang Ruoang sitting in front of him.
Kowtow slightly.
"My son is unfilial and I hope my father will forgive me."
After saying this, he took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed himself directly in the heart.
In an instant, a life was lost.
Jiang Ruoang has been sitting there, motionless, but the slight trembling of his hands can tell that his heart is not as calm as his face.
The Jiang family is so big, but the Jiang family is so small.
When the Tian family replaced Qi, most of the Jiang family members died, and only his lineage survived for some reason.
Until the destruction of the Tian family, they did not know the existence of the Jiang family.
Later, when the world was unified, the Jiang family came out.
Before, they were the "Jiang" family.
Taking Jianghehuhai as the surname expresses one's own feelings.
"call."
Jiang Ruo'ang exhaled, waved his hands, and said in a tired voice: "Keep Lao Qi here and give him a good burial."
He looked in the distance in the direction of Penglaizhou and Linzi County.
"I hope this governor will not live up to the reputation spread throughout the world and will not let me down..."
........
Linzi County City
When Chen Ke arrived, the Linzi County Sheriff stood at the gate of the city, waiting for Chen Ke's arrival.
His expression was humble and respectful. I'm afraid no one would be so humble when treating the emperor.
Several hundred meters away, Wang Kande ran forward, walked up to Chen Ke, and said respectfully: "I'm here to see the Governor."
Then he looked at Fusu and said, "I see you, young master."
One after the other, it is against the rules, but it makes it impossible to find too many faults.
Fusu just looked at Wang Kande's little trick indifferently, and sneered in his heart. Is there such a county guard in Daqin?
Really interesting.
Chen Ke, on the other hand, was even more unconcerned and said with a smile: "Prefect Wang?"
"You and I are colleagues, why should we do this?"
He looked at Wang Kande and said, "I have just arrived in Penglaizhou, and I haven't packed up yet."
"After I have settled down, I will give a banquet to the Commander Wang and the other two Commanders."
Chen Ke smiled when he spoke and looked very harmless.
But Wang Kande doesn't think so.
To be able to be so indifferent at this time is definitely because he has a plan in mind.
He immediately bent down and said more respectfully: "I honor your order."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Fusu again: "Eldest Young Master, do you have any orders?"
Fusu shook his head and just said: "There is no eldest son here now, only the deputy governor Fusu."
"Just follow Governor Chen's arrangements."
Wang Kande saluted again and then left.
After he left, Fusu looked at his back with disdain and said, "Teacher, did this guy try to sow discord between us when he first arrived?"
"Is he mentally ill?"
"Why do you think we can be provoked by him?"
Chen Ke looked at Wang Kande's back with a half-smile, but said, "Fusu, this is the brilliance of Wang Kande."
"He did it on purpose to make you wonder why he thought he could provoke us."
"Then you become curious to see how he will continue to provoke."
"And once you think this way, thoughts will appear in your mind unconsciously and you will follow his instigations."
"Three men become tigers, and their great mother throws herself into a tree. If you tell lies too many times, people will unconsciously believe them."
"You and I will stay in Penglaizhou for a long time. Wang Kande feels that sooner or later, we will be able to do what he wants to do."
"What's more, as the eldest son, you are in a higher position than me, but he is respectful in front of me and arrogant in back. He is more respectful to me than to you."
"Ask me first, and you later."
"He feels that you are just starting out and you must want to take power and achieve certain results, so there will be seeds of dissatisfaction with me in his heart."
"Coupled with some subsequent instigation and long-term seemingly unintentional drama, you and I will fall apart."
Chen Ke's words were dull, but they hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out all Wang Kande's thoughts.
Fusu smacked his lips: "What a pity he doesn't know is that I have no doubts or dissatisfaction with the teacher. Moreover, the teacher is the governor and I am the deputy governor."
"Why is my status higher than that of teachers?"
Fusu smiled and said, "I came to Penglaizhou originally to assist Teacher Zuo."
"Lest the teacher be too lazy to throw all government affairs aside and not care about anything."
Listening to Fusu's teasing words, Chen Ke coughed slightly, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
In fact, it's really not that he is lazy, nor is it that he is making excuses for himself.
But he really doesn’t know how to deal with government affairs...
He is just a loser. How is it possible for him to handle the political affairs of a state, a county, or even a country?
Important matters of family and country are not so easy to deal with...
And the reason why he can appear so powerful is because he never interferes in minor political affairs.
When he and Li Si raised their opinions, they always spoke from macro concepts.
And the macro concept...
He has surpassed Li Si for more than two thousand years. Even if he is not as intelligent as Li Si, he can still crush him.
"Let's go to the Governor's Mansion first."
The Governor's Mansion where they lived was not the Sheriff's Mansion, but the former royal palace of Qi State.
The capital of Qi was originally in Linzi, and the royal palace later became Ying Zheng's palace. At this time, Ying Zheng changed the palace into the Governor's Palace.
This is also a kind of trust and love for Chen Ke.
Are there any other ministers who can enjoy this kind of treatment?
It’s impossible.
...........
Late at night.
Chen Ke sat in the room, a candle flickered, and the shadows on the wall were stretched out.
A pot of moonlight reflected from the window onto the table, everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful.
Everything in the palace is relatively comfortable. It is the best place Chen Ke has lived in the past two years since he came to Daqin...
Even the Chen Mansion is inferior. After all, the Chen Mansion back then was just Lu Buwei's residence, and this Governor's Mansion used to be a royal palace.
He was lying on the table and writing something carefully.
Chen Ke was sorting out his thoughts.
What kind of trust is it to let others do whatever they want in a state?
If he wants to do a good job, he must make a plan and outline.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
Chen Ke put down the pen in his hand, and the paper was already filled with dense writing.
He smiled and looked into the distance.
"There are apricot blossoms in the suburbs, and cuckoos are singing in the forest. After the spring rain in Harada, the stream flows smoothly in the evening."
"Spring plowing is coming."
