Since he stepped down from the position of Prime Minister and his son was appointed as the "Exploration Order", many people who used to cling to them have begun to drift away.
It was as if their Feng family had fallen.
But now, his son Feng Jie has returned. As long as he brings back enough things from the Western Regions and is important enough, his son can still be reused.
This is what His Majesty the First Emperor promised to them back then.
Although His Majesty the First Emperor was majestic and solemn, even ruthless, there was one good thing about him.
That is, we will never treat meritorious ministers unfairly.
Thinking like this, Feng Quji had a satisfied smile on his old face.
enough.

Penglaizhou
On one side, Chen Ke ordered people to prepare for the salt drying, and on the other side, he ordered people to quickly set up a manufacturing department.
Neither of these two things was too difficult for him.
After all, Chen Ke brought a lot of craftsmen from Xianyang City. These craftsmen were more than enough to form the Manufacturing Department, but there were not that many people who could serve as the commanders of the Manufacturing Department.
He pressed his forehead.
At any time, when any organization is first established, what is most lacking is always someone who can take charge of it.
Just like the current Manufacturing Department.
The manufacturing department in Xianyang City has become increasingly large, and the printing of books, daily paper making, and block printing have begun to increase.
A few days ago, Chen Ke handed over the method of drying salt to the First Emperor and
Now in Xianyang City, the Manufacturing Department should already be studying this matter.
It's a pity that there is only one Chen Ping.
He has now been promoted from the commander of the Manufacturing Department to the "Director" of the Manufacturing Department.
According to the newly arranged official hierarchy, the director of the Manufacturing Department is one rank lower than Jiuqing, but he is not considered a minor official.
On the same level as the Governor.
Chen Ke was thinking about things at the Manufacturing Department and at the same time about things at the Municipal Property Department.
The functions of the Municipal Property Department are still too vast.
You can't see it now, actually because it doesn't have many functions yet, but the "authority" and "person" are here.
When Da Qin's economy gradually develops in the future, it will begin to divide the Municipal Property Department.
Chen Ke touched his chin and wrote a few names on the paper in front of him.
"Market Regulation Department", "Affordable City Property Department", "Public Buildings Department", "Resources Department"
According to his vision, in three years, the Municipal Property Department will be so large that it needs to be split up.
At this time, it is the most appropriate time to temporarily split the functions of the "City Property Department" into these four.
Three years later, the state Baijia Palace, the local Baijia Palace and the Baijia Palace in Xianyang City will be able to provide Da Qin with enough talents.
At that time, it was also time to make the "Essay Competition" formal.
Chen Ke smiled and put the paper in his hand into his sleeve. These things are very important and need to be kept close to him.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ke took out another thing and waved.
A person walked out of the shadows on the side, it was the person from Heibingtai who was following Chen Ke.
"Governor, why did you call me?"
Chen Ke handed the new envelope that had been written in front of him to this person, and then said with a serious look: "Give this to your Majesty as quickly as possible."
"In this letter, there are things related to my fate in Great Qin."
"Never lose it."
After hearing this, the man's already serious expression became even more serious. He immediately looked at Chen Ke and said, "Don't worry, Governor, I have faith in you!"
After the man left, Chen Ke sat in the yard again.
What he wrote in the letter was about one thing.
That kind of thing is called "coal."
In fact, coal exists here in Penglaizhou, and Chen Ke is planning to look for it here.
However, such important matters should be reported to His Majesty first and then start. Now that the letter has been sent out, he can rest assured that others will find it.
Coal matters are very important.
With coal, some things can be made.
This is also the most important resource in the world. Even thousands of years later, coal is still in use.
Of course, even if coal is found now, it can only be used lightly.
Chen Ke knocked on the table, lowered his head, and thought slowly.
All he was thinking about was Penglaizhou and even Daqin.
As for the royal family's plans against him, Chen Ke was not too worried. In his eyes, those people could not cause any big troubles.
The world under the suppression of the First Emperor will never change.
Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a figure walked slowly over, with a leisurely smile on his expression.
"Teacher, look, what did I bring?"
The person coming was none other than Fusu.
Fusu was seen holding several strange-looking things in his hands. Chen Ke looked closely and found that it turned out to be something similar to a jigsaw puzzle.
He looked strange: "Fusu, where did you get this thing from?"
Fusu put the things on Chen Ke's table, and then said with a smile: "Teacher, this is made by the public losers."
"I just went to the Science and Technology Palace and met Brother Lin Fang and the people from Gongshujia."
"Teacher, what do you think of this thing?"
Chen Ke looked at the jigsaw puzzle in front of him. It was just a children's toy, and it actually didn't have much use.
But when a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, this toy was no longer a toy.
"perhaps....."
"You can really do this."
Chen Ke smiled, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, you brought this thing here, but you helped me a lot."
"There is a question I have been thinking about for a long time, but I still haven't figured it out."
"Now I have figured it out."
.............
Penglaizhou, somewhere in a narrow shop.
Ying Meng's expression did not change, he looked at the person in front of him and said, "How are you thinking about it?"
The person in front of her also had the same expression. He just smiled and said, "I'm naturally curious about something that can make you so moved."
"I just want to know, do you really not regret it?"
Lin Ruolin chuckled: "I do have some relationship with Lin Fang in the Science and Technology Palace, but how can you be sure that I will help you?"
Ying Meng looked at Lin Ruolin and said, "You want to be an official, but you don't have the ability to take the literary competition, so you can only find an opportunity."
"An opportunity to make meritorious service, an opportunity to meet Governor Chen."
"That Governor Chen has always demoted talented people in an eclectic way. After Guan Zhuo became an official, your eyes turned red with envy."
"So you want a chance too."
"You think you are no longer capable of Guan Zhuo, but in your heart you feel that these things are beyond the realm of elegance. Why can Guan Zhuo become the commander of the Municipal Property Department, but you can't?"
Ying Meng chuckled lightly, with mockery in his voice.
"And I just happen to be able to give you this opportunity."
She looked indifferent: "If you help me introduce Lin Fang, I will naturally be able to ask Lin Fang to take me to see the governor."
"And after meeting the Governor, I will naturally have a way to mention you in front of the Governor."
"Besides, even if I fail to impress the Governor, I am Mr. Hu Chuan's daughter. My father will entertain Governor Chen again in a few days."
"There's always a chance I'll see him again."
"You don't think you have thousands of good ideas in your mind, but you just suffer from
Haven't you met anyone who can identify them? "
"Why don't you seize this opportunity now?"
Lin Ruolin's expression did not change, he just looked at Ying Meng and said, "Although your expression does not change, your voice and words have exposed you."
"You shouldn't talk so much."
"This only lets me know how much you want to see Governor Chen."
Ying Meng's expression changed. No matter how much scheming she had in her heart, she was still a girl after all.
But at this time, Lin Ruolin said leisurely: "But, I don't care about this."
He turned his head and looked at Ying Meng: "I don't like to play so much scheming. People like us always like to be straightforward."
"So I will introduce you to Lin Fang, and the rest is up to you."
With that said, Lin Ruolin turned around and left.
Only Ying Meng was left sitting there, with a look of confusion and helplessness.
She stared at the sunset in the distance, her heart already full of holes.
"I hope I can impress the enigmatic Governor Chen."
"In those troubled times, I was able to live quietly. Now that the world is at peace, why should I continue to live happily?"
"Yuyou Cangtian, why is this so?"

Jingyang Jun's Mansion
Jingyang Jun was looking at the book in his hand, his expression changing.
In his hand was the book written by Chen Ke before, which has now been circulated throughout Penglai Continent.
Even some students who want to prepare for the literary competition are reading this book.
I want to pry into that person's thoughts.
Jingyang Jun sneered, and then said: "No matter how powerful Chen Ke is, he is just a person, not a god."
"I just want to see if Chen Ke can defeat my plan."
Jing Yangjun's strategy is simple, but also difficult to crack.
Because his strategy is a "conspiracy".
What is "conspiracy"?
Just find something you have to do, and then write about it.
Even if you know there is a trap, you still have to step into it.
This is conspiracy.
He stroked the table and said, "Peace to the world. This world should be shared by us clan members."
"The matter that Chun Yuyue and I discussed together back then was about to succeed, but Chen Ke jumped out and intervened."
"Otherwise, maybe we would have been assigned as kings by now..."
Jingyang Jun raised his head and looked at the shadows on the roof: "And this time, I want to let your majesty know that neither the people nor the officials in this world can be trusted."
"Only the clan can be trusted."

Hu Chuanjun's Mansion
Lord Hu Chuan is different from Lord Jingyang. Lord Jingyang is upright and upright even when he uses stratagems, and uses yin and yang schemes.
And Hu Chuanjun and Jingyang Jun are exactly the two extremes.
Mr. Hu Chuan likes to use conspiracies, especially conspiracies that are difficult to detect.
He is good at calculation.
"Knock knock knock."
There were sounds of knocking on the table, and Hu Chuanjun just said: "Are you ready for what I told you to prepare?"
The person next to him nodded slightly: "Master Qi, everything is ready."
Hu Chuanjun nodded, and then said as if he had thought of something: "I have been keeping an eye on Ying Meng lately and don't allow her to run around."
"Also, go to the Governor's Mansion and hand over my invitation, and tell him that I will invite him to a banquet in three days."
The boy nodded slightly. Hu Chuanjun lowered his head and continued to think about how to arrange the chess game so that he could kill with one blow.
...........
Xianyang City
When vehicles enter Xianyang City one by one,
The people standing at the gate of Xianyang City to greet him were all looking at him.
Those who came on this trip were Jiuqing and Prime Minister Li Si, who were above the court, and the leader was the young master Hu Hai.
This can be regarded as giving Feng Jie enough face.
After all, not everyone can have the cards of Young Master + Prime Minister.
The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and the young master represents the first emperor. This is equivalent to half of the court coming.
The convoy in the distance slowly drove into Xianyang City, led by Feng Jie.
Upon seeing this, Li Si took a step forward. After Feng Jie saw the welcoming team, he quickly stepped out of the carriage with a look of sincerity and fear on his face.
"I have met Mr. Hu Hai, I have met the Prime Minister, and I have met all my colleagues."
Li Si and others also returned the greetings one after another, with smiles on their cheeks.
Li Si looked at Feng Jie and said with a slightly serious expression: "Feng Ling, your Majesty has spoken, will you accept the order?"
Feng Jie immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I respectfully request your Majesty's oral instructions."
Li Si stood there and said with a little seriousness in his voice: "I order Feng Jie to go to Xianyang Palace to pay an audience immediately."
Feng Jie raised his head slightly and said loudly: "Feng Jie, take the order."

Penglaizhou, Governor's Mansion
Chen Ke was sitting in the courtyard, not dealing with government affairs at this time.
He was holding an iron pick in his hand, and beside him were iron picks and plates. On the plates were the sheep that had just been killed.
The mutton has already been cut up and prepared by the chef.
Not just mutton, but also some vegetables, beef, and pork.
Now that the moon is high in the sky, Fu Su, Wang Bi, and Li Xin are sitting across from Chen Ke, with curiosity on their faces.
"Teacher, you said you would take us to eat something good tonight, is this the only thing we should eat?"
Li Xin also raised his eyebrows and said, "Governor Chen, those of us in the army often eat barbecued food during the march, but most of these foods don't taste very good."
"Isn't this a rare thing?"
Wang Ben pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Brother Li and I have traveled thousands of miles to assist Governor Zuo, and the Governor just uses this thing to deal with us?"
"Oh, I'm emotionally exhausted after all!"
Fusu didn't speak, just nodded, nodded, and continued to nod, silently supporting the words of these two people.
Chen Ke rolled his eyes, looked at Wang Ben and said, "Isn't it a rare thing? Is it perfunctory for you?"
"Okay Wang Ben, you must not eat it after I bake it."
With that said, Chen Ke turned over the meat on the shelf, then picked up the seasoning that had been prepared on the side and spread it on it.
The first layer is brushed with honey. As soon as the honey is brushed on the meat, the fragrance bursts out instantly, as if it was squeezed out of the fire and the meat.
"Sizzling"
Drops of oil from the meat fell on the shelf, and then the flames rose even more.
Wang Ben and Li Xin swallowed subconsciously.
