Someone hiding in the shadows?
Fusu's expression changed: "The teacher is talking about the Lord Jingyang who came from Xianyang City but has never shown his face?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the fish in the pond.
"good."
"Jun Hu Chuan is just a stupid, short-sighted and cowardly person."
"I even feel that many things were not his hand. Perhaps he was given hints or lured into doing such things."
"A stupid person is not scary, and a stupid and cowardly person who is afraid of death is even less scary."
"The scary thing is a person who is smart, knows how to hide, and may be ruthless."
Chen Ke turned his head and smiled suddenly: "However, there is no need to pay too much attention to Mr. Jingyang. Your Majesty must have already made an idea."
He looked at Huo Shi and Huo Zhen standing aside and said, "Don't worry."
"Since I know that Yinglun will kill Fang Cong in advance, how could I not save him?"
"If nothing else happens, Fang Cong should already be in the governor's prison."
Chen Ke looked not far away, his eyes slightly lowered, as if a crow's tail feathers were blocking his eyes.
"I received your Majesty's order two days ago, ordering me to return to the capital before sunset."
"It seems that Feng Jie, who went to the Western Regions, has returned to the capital and brought back a lot of good things. This is a big and happy event for Great Qin."
"It's also a good thing for us in Penglaizhou."
"If you want to promote those things, they must be promoted in Penglaizhou as soon as possible."
"This is also the benefit that Peng Laizhou can get as a "pilot". "
"There are many new things that Daqin doesn't have. After bringing them from outside, if you want to conduct large-scale experiments, you must find a place."
"There are risks and opportunities."
Chen Ke turned his head, looked at Huo Shi who was standing aside and said, "Huo Shi, do you know how to choose between the risks and opportunities involved?"
Huo Shi nodded slightly.
He knew all this very well. Without risks, there would be no benefits. How could someone in the world send you countless amounts of money out of thin air?
it's out of the question.
Often, if someone really wants to take advantage of you, you will pay a hundred times the price later.
“Risks and opportunities coexist, and even the greater the risk, the greater the opportunities.”
"The governor is a good gamer, but the official is not."
"So if you are a lower official, you will probably control this risk, and even if you give something to the surrounding states, you will not touch it."
Chen Ke nodded, he was quite satisfied with Huo Shi's answer.
He will stay in Penglaizhou for a few years, and in these few years, he will bring countless benefits to Penglaizhou, and there are no risks behind these benefits.
Because Chen Ke can judge.
This was brought to him by the sufferings of the past two thousand years, and it was not without cost.
After he left, Penglaizhou, who had devoured so much at once, was not suitable to continue the game.
He needs to digest it quietly and slowly.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Ke vaguely chose Huo Shilai as his successor.
Because he needs a very calm, even conservative person to serve as governor to protect the things and interests he brings.
And the time that a governor serves as the local governor will not be too long.
It's only six years at most.
The first year is to give these governors time to adapt to the policies of their predecessors, adapt to the local environment, and formulate new policies.
The next five years were just enough to implement a five-year plan.
Five years was not enough time for Da Qin, an ancient country, to implement many new things, but it was enough.

Xianyang City
Clan mansion
Young Master Hui was sitting there, with a chessboard in front of him and countless chess pieces on it.
The chess game was so complicated that even Young Master Hui, who was extremely good at playing games, felt a little at a loss when he saw the chess game.
"well."
"The right time, right place, and right people are not taken advantage of. I just don't know when those people will be able to figure this out?"
"If you are too obsessed with power, you will bury everything in it."
He shook his head, looked at Ziying who was sitting next to him and observed the chess game and said, "Ziying, what do you think of the current situation in the world?"
Ziying sat there, upright, like a conservative old master.
"Reporting to my uncle, my grandson feels that the current situation in the world lies between two people."
"These two people are at the heart of today's changes."
"One is Your Majesty."
"The second one is Feng Chang, the uncle of Zhongmu County, and the governor of Penglaizhou, Chen Ke."
"Your Majesty is the Dinghai Divine Needle, which stops all changes in place so that these storms cannot harm Da Qin in the slightest."
"And Chen Fengchang is the situation itself. He is constantly changing and brings endless new things to the Qin Dynasty."
Young Master Hui glanced at Ziying, with satisfaction and curiosity in his brows.
"Oh? Is this how you see it?"
"Then what do you think of Chen Ke?"
Ziying was silent for a moment and then sighed.
"Actually, my grandson can't understand this person. He is too unpredictable."
"But one thing is certain. Chen Ke is gradually changing Da Qin. Even with Da Qin's acceptance speed and changes, his "reform" measures will definitely become more and more rapid. "
"When he first arrived in Da Qin, he only spent a year and a half on printing and papermaking."
"And now it's been another year and a half, but he has already come up with "state", "local official system", "minor officials", "local 100 palaces", "people as officials", "nine-grade official system", etc. measure. "
"Some of these measures are still being implemented, and some are still in their infancy."
"And these are actually related to the most basic structure of the imperial court. Sun'er feels that he is shaping a skeleton for Da Qin."
"Once these skeletons are installed, he'll probably have to shape the tendons."
"After the sinews, there is the meat, and then there are things like appearance."
"Governor Chen's speed will become faster as time goes by, even leaving those of us who are still obsessed with the past far behind."
Gongzi Hui looked at Ziying who was sitting there with a troubled expression on his face, and sighed slightly.
"Those people in the clan can't see it clearly as a child like you. It's really heartbreaking."
He reached out and stroked Ziying's head, and then said softly: "Don't forget what happened today. If one day I disappear, it will be your turn to control the big ship of the clan house."
Ziying sat up straight and then bowed slightly, his childish eyes filled with responsibility and solemnity.
He was no longer a child at this point.
"I will definitely live up to my uncle's trust."
Gongzi Hui smiled happily, and then looked at the house in the distance that was full of decay.
That was the funeral place he had prepared for himself in advance.
Now he can feel the decaying atmosphere in the room more and more. According to rumors, the closer a person is to death, the more he can feel the decaying atmosphere.
Ziying next to him often went to play in that room, and no one around him smelled the rotten smell in the room.
He was the only one who could smell it.
He slowly closed his eyes. Those ungrateful clan members, how many more days can he protect these people?
A month? Two months? Or should I say half a year? One year?

Governor's Palace
The back door of the Governor's Mansion welcomed a guest that Chen Ke and Fusu unexpectedly welcomed today.
Ying Meng.
Ying Meng was wearing dirty clothes and looked tattered all over, and his face was dark, as if something had been smeared on purpose.
The clothes were also extremely dirty.
If she wanted to get to the Governor's Mansion without attracting attention, she would have to pass through a slum.
But that's where women die.
So Ying Meng could only do this, making himself extremely dirty and even smelling bad.
Although she had already washed herself before meeting Chen Ke.
But that smell isn't easily cleaned out.
Chen Ke picked up the teacup. This was porcelain specially made for him by those restless craftsmen.
It's just ordinary porcelain that doesn't look beautiful, and even a bit rough.
Standard celadon and white porcelain are still exclusively supplied to the royal family. When craftsmen can figure out how to control them, perhaps white porcelain and celadon will appear in the homes of ordinary people again.
After all, white and blue are very common colors.
"You said you are the daughter of Lord Hu Chuan, so what are you doing here?"
Ying Meng looked at Chen Ke with determination on his face: "I can do what the Governor wants. I want the Governor to show his noble hand and save my life."
Chen Ke smiled and said, "What does the governor want?"
"Tell me, what do I want?"
Ying Meng said without any hesitation: "Three things."
"First, I have concrete evidence that Hu Chuanjun Yinglun was plotting rebellion in Penglaizhou, and I also have a list of party members who corresponded and colluded with him within the imperial court."
"Second, what Jingyang Jun Yingku has been doing recently."
"Third..."
Ying Meng stared into Chen Ke's eyes, as if she wanted to see desire in his eyes.
"A notice was posted at the city gate two days ago, saying that we were looking for a black stone that can burn."
"I know of two places that have these."
There was a little panic in her eyes: "I am willing to dedicate these three things to the Governor, just asking the Governor to save my life."
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Ying Meng and said, "Don't you want to trade these things for me to protect you?"
"You have to know that these things you have mastered, especially the last one, are all things that I need very much, even urgently."
Ying Meng was very calm.
"I don't know the value of these things, and I don't know your desire for them."
"But I know that if you want to protect me, it's just a matter of words."
"Besides, I already know your character. You will not retaliate after taking something. You will even feel guilty for not giving me enough report."
"In that case, why should I exchange it with you instead of giving it to you and then asking you for it?"
"It's not an exchange, it's a request."
"I don't have the ability to threaten you with these things, because you are the only life-saving straw in front of me now."
Chen Ke nodded and looked at the people around him.
Then he said: "Okay."
"Tell me the location of the "coal mine" you know. "
"Tell me later how you want me to save your life."
Ying Meng immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Was she finally going to escape from that devil's cave?
Immediately and without any hesitation he said: "One of them is on a mountain thirty miles outside Linzi County, and the title deed is in my hand."
"The other place is at the foot of a mountain in Jiaodong County."
"I purchased these two places for myself. I wanted to place myself there after I escape."
"Later, when I was building a house there, I accidentally discovered this kind of thing. I didn't know this kind of thing at that time."
"I didn't see in your notice until the other day that you needed both of these things."
She took out the land deed from her sleeve, put it in her hand, held it up with both hands, and said, "The women of the people will dedicate this thing to the governor, the court, and your majesty."
Chen Ke raised his chin slightly, and Fusu walked to Ying Meng's side and took the land deed.
He looked at Ying Meng and said, "Tell me, how do you want this governor to save you?"
........
On the coast of Linzi County.
This place is very flat, like an ordinary coast, but what is a little unusual is that large ships come from a distance and sail here.
The surrounding officers and soldiers had already discovered this.
Huo Shi, the governor of Linzi County, personally came here with his soldiers to guard the place. He looked at the approaching ships in the distance with caution in his eyes.
The prototype of the ship's team can already be seen. It is a very large team, like a giant beast in the sea.
Where did the giant beast come from, and what was its purpose?
What impact will it have on Daqin?
As the fog in the distance gradually dissipated, and as the big ship gradually approached, the big ship also revealed its ferocious true face.
Looking at this, Huo Shi was a little stunned. Why did this ship look so similar to the ships he had seen when he was studying in Baijia Palace?
A memory that he had forgotten emerged, and a figure appeared in his mind.
He immediately turned his head decisively, looked at the soldiers beside him and said: "Immediately go to the Governor's Mansion to report to the Governor, saying that Xu Ling, who went to sea two years ago, has returned!"
"We are on the shore now, we will arrive soon!"
"Please let the Governor decide!"
Although the soldier didn't know who "Xu Shiling" was, he could hear the solemnity in Huo Shi's tone and immediately ran towards the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, at sea.
On board the ship.
Xu Fu looked at the familiar mountains and rivers in the distance, familiar places, familiar villages, and familiar trees.
Everything is familiar to him.
At this moment, even the ethereal air around him seemed familiar to him.
The reaction of the soldiers around him was not much better than his. They all looked at the scene in the distance and cried silently.
I have been away from my hometown for almost two years, and I have been floating on the sea, looking at the endless blue.
They almost had a nervous breakdown.
Now, these wanderers have returned home!
