How did you plan it in the first place?
Fusu was a little stunned. Could it be that his current plan was different from what the teacher had originally planned?
He asked with some confusion: "Teacher, is it different from your original idea?"
"Is it better or worse?"
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and walked forward.
"If we talk about the effect, it is naturally better, but if we talk about the treatment of the Guizhou leaders, then it is naturally worse."
He said with some emotion: "My original plan was to replace labor with work."
"Serving as a corvee not only provides food and drink, but also money."
"It's not considered "corvee", it's considered "work". "
Fusu looked at Chen Ke, slightly confused: "Do you still have money for doing corvee service?"
"this...."
"How could something like this happen since ancient times?"
This time, even Fusu, who was the most open and supportive of Chen Ke in the past, hesitated.
He was a little unsure.
But this did not go against Chen Ke's expectations. After all, it is too difficult for people of this era to accept this matter.
Especially the ruling class.
For the ruling class, "corvee" is a naturally available and free resource.
As for the consequences of long-term corvee service, this is not within their scope of consideration.
In short, the people are able to endure and are good at it.
As long as the work is not excessive, even corvée and labor will only make the people feel that it is natural.
Once this kind of thinking forms a fixed train of thought, it becomes difficult to change it.
Chen Ke glanced at Fusu: "Fusu, corvee and labor will definitely become the cause of the dynasty's downfall in the future. I think you know this."
"Then why are you so opposed to work-for-service?"
Fusu was a little silent. He actually couldn't tell the reason. It's just that when something becomes a habit, it is naturally difficult to change it.
He said silently: "Teacher, your idea is too advanced."
Chen Ke smiled casually: "So, I have changed, haven't I."
"I didn't use the original plan, but used a new plan, one that you can both accept."
He looked at Fusu and said, "Through you and these people, I understand a truth."
"Not all good things are suitable to be taken out at once."
"People need time to adjust."
Fusu was silent on this. He actually didn't think it was a good thing, but at this time it was obvious that he would not object to his teacher.
After all, many facts prove one thing.
The teacher's thoughts have never been lost.
The teacher is right, he can only be wrong.
He held his forehead and sighed.
Sometimes having a teacher who is too powerful is also a kind of distress.
Although this teacher can solve many problems for you, he will also cause you endless troubles.
Chen Ke walked forward, feeling the breeze on the seaside.
The wind was blowing gently, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of the seaside, and everything seemed so quiet.

early October
Chen San came to the gate of Linzi County and looked at Penglaizhou, which was becoming increasingly prosperous. He suddenly felt at ease.
This is his hometown after all.
Who would really want to make their hometown bad?
Everyone wants to make their hometown better, and everyone wants to make their hometown better.
He wiped his sweat and glanced at the people crowded at the city gate.
Chen San's eyes lit up.
Usually this happens at the city gate, it must be because Penglaizhou is coming out with a new policy.
The new policy must be good and will definitely bring benefits to them.
This is the truth that has been practiced in the past four or five months.
In the crowded crowd, Chen San finally squeezed to the front and saw the notice posted at the city gate.
He frowned slightly: "What is written on it?"
Someone on the side explained: "It says here that Xu Shiling followed His Majesty's order and went to another land to find the remnants of the Shang Kingdom."
"Later, thousands of miles away, I finally found these people on the other side of the sea."
"And two new food seeds were discovered there."
"The yield of this kind of grain seeds in that continent is very abundant, and can even reach more than 40 dan per mu. It can be used as a staple food and can satisfy hunger!"
Staple food, new grain seeds, and a yield of more than 40 shi per mu?
Chen San's eyes suddenly lit up, and then darkened again.
“Then this new crop seed must be very expensive, right?”
He sighed and prepared to walk back.
This time when he came to the county town, his purpose was to buy some grain seeds for planting in autumn and rent agricultural tools.
At this time, the man who had just answered him said: "It's not expensive."
"It's only two yuan more expensive than ordinary seeds."
Only two dollars more expensive? ? ?
This made Chen San a little surprised: "This, how is this possible?"
The person on the side continued: "This notice says that this thing is produced in another continent, which is different from the world of Great Qin."
"Therefore, it is not certain whether such a high output can be achieved in Daqin."
“So it’s not too expensive to sell.”
Chen San understood.
Without any thought at all, he asked directly: "Brother, did you buy these new seeds from the Municipal Property Department?"
After getting a positive answer, Chen San immediately headed towards the Municipal Property Department.
He wants to buy it!
People, just want to take a gamble.
If it were Wang Kande, or other previous county and city officials, he, Chen San, might not dare to gamble.
But if it were Chen Ke, he would still dare to take the gamble.
How could this governor do something he was not sure of?
There was something cunning in Chen San's eyes that belonged to the leaders of Guizhou. People at the bottom are often wise.
He saw through the problem at a glance.
"I'm afraid there are too few grain seeds, and the governor is afraid that he won't be able to distribute them, so he said this deliberately?"
"Otherwise, how can we separate such things?"
After muttering a few words like this, he immediately quickened his pace, fearing that he would be late and there would be no new seeds.
.........
Linzi County and Municipal Property Department
After the prefecture established the Municipal Property Department, the three counties below the state quickly established the Municipal Property Department.
The top officials of the Municipal Property Department in each county are temporarily held concurrently by the original county magistrates.
The original county seat was in a state of vacancy after Chen Ke divided the responsibilities of various officials.
And now the Municipal Property Department is so important, so they came to their new positions with almost no complaints or resistance.
He became the envoy of the Municipal Property Department of each county.
And the same goes for counties.
The county magistrate served as the envoy of the county and city property bureaus.
The minor officials in the original government offices and some students from Baijia Palace were all assigned to this new institution.
Therefore, the Municipal Property Department is not currently short of personnel.
Chen San just stepped into the gate of the Municipal Property Department and saw a long queue at the Municipal Property Department.
Many people are here.
As soon as he entered the door, a clerk asked: "Brother, are you here to rent farm tools, or are you here to buy new grain seeds?"
The attitude of the clerk is very good, completely different from last year.
Chen San did not take this for granted and said politely: "I'm here to rent farm tools and buy new grain seeds."
He scratched his head: "Looking at so many people, are there any new food seeds?"
The clerk immediately said: "Don't worry about this. Everyone has a limited purchase limit, so there should be more."
"Then you can just line up here."
After seeing Chen San nod, the clerk stood at the door again.
Seeing such a situation, Chen San couldn't help but sigh.
If it were in the past, let alone a petty official talking to him in person, even the gatekeeper of the Municipal Property Department would not even bother to look at himself, the head of Guizhou.
Thanks to Governor Chen!
.........
Inside the Governor's Palace
Chen Ke is packing his things and will return to Xianyang City soon. Not to mention, he really misses him a little.
Everything in Xianyang City is a matter of concern.
Most of my old friends are in Xianyang City, and most importantly, His Majesty the First Emperor is also in Xianyang City...
He looked at the things he had packed up, feeling a little depressed.
Sure enough, I am still not suitable for packing things. I have been packing for a long time and it is still so messy.
When Fusu walked in from outside, he saw a scene like this.
The house was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
His teacher stood in the room helplessly, looking at the mess on the floor.
If he hadn't known that this was the Governor's Mansion and that it had a lot of protective power, Fusu would have thought it was a thief...
"Ahem."
Fusu coughed lightly and asked with curiosity on his face: "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Chen Ke turned his head, looked at Fusu and said, "Aren't you going back to Xianyang?"
"I was thinking about packing my things, but who knew that the more I packed my things, the messier it became."
He shook his head helplessly: "It seems that professional matters should be left to professionals. This matter is not suitable for me."
Fusu looked at Chen Ke with some helplessness: "Teacher, if you have more free time, you can handle the government affairs of Penglaizhou."
"If I remember correctly, you haven't dealt with government affairs once since you came to Penglaizhou, right?"
"I handle all these government affairs."
"You are the governor."
Chen Ke coughed lightly: "Ahem, what is that?"
"Am I not good at dealing with this?"
"Besides."
Chen Ke said with some righteousness: "Aren't you here just to help Master handle these troublesome government affairs?"
"Isn't it just to train yourself?"
"If I do all the work, what will you do?"
Fusu was already immune to Chen Ke's rogue appearance, and he immediately said with a straight face: "Teacher, please don't say that."
"If you say that, do I still have to thank you?"
He had a serious face: "I'm going back to Xianyang, so I won't handle the government affairs these days."
"Teacher, you can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, Fusu turned around and left.
Chen Ke was left standing in the room in shock, looking at Fusu's escaping figure, somewhat speechless.
This kid, what happened today?
In the garden not far away
As soon as Fusu left Chen Ke's sight, he slowed down.
He was a little proud: "It's almost the evening, and the government affairs these days are numerous and difficult to handle."
"It's just right to leave it to the teacher."
"There's still a good excuse."
Fusu looked at the paperwork in his hand and patted his forehead: "I originally came here for this thing, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."
"But how do we fix this thing..."
After Fusu pondered for a moment, he muttered: "Forget it, whoever has the problem should go to whom, let Lin Fang talk to the teacher himself."
.........
Manufacturing Department
Lin Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at the silver coins and copper coins placed in front of him with a slight smile in his eyes.
Because of Chen Ke's previous instructions, he was also original when designing the copper and silver coins.
The obverse side of the copper coin is a number representing the face value, while the reverse side is the Black Dragon Flag of Great Qin.
That is, copper coins numbered "1", "5", and "10".
Silver coins are a bit more colorful than copper coins, with patterns and numbers on them.
Among them, the front of the "1" silver coin looks like millet.
The front of "5" looks like "three-ripened rice".
The front of "10" looks like a big sun hanging above the rough waves.
According to Chen Ke's previous setting, this is used to distinguish the face value, and is also a means to make it more difficult for those who imitate "Qin coins" to imitate.
This is just silver coins.
When the gold coins were forged, Chen Ke even wanted to have His Majesty the First Emperor imprinted on the backs of the coins...
And it is stipulated that it must be after the words "10" gold coins.
The word "5" on the gold coin is the image of the prince, and from now on it will be the image of the emperor in the future.
Except that the appearance of the First Emperor behind the "10" gold coin cannot be changed, the words behind the "5" gold coin and the "1" gold coin can be changed with the change of dynasties.
Of course, this does not mean that the gold coins branded with the previous emperor cannot be used. According to Chen Ke, the "version" is different.
But the style of coins must be unified.
Lin Fang pressed his forehead and felt confused: "Didn't His Highness, the eldest son, send the things to my uncle yet?"
He looked at the high fire in front of him and felt a little worried: "Oh, this new one is about to start."
"I wonder if Fuso's ship has returned?"
Before the words were spoken, a person hurriedly walked in outside the gate of the Manufacturing Department. It seemed that it was the eldest son Fusu.
Fusu said as he walked: "Ahem."
"Forest workers, forest workers."
"I can't help you with your matter."
He said helplessly: "I went to see the teacher before, but who would have thought that after just a few words, the teacher would actually handle government affairs by himself."
"As soon as I heard it, I ran away excitedly."
Fusu put the thing in his hand into Lin Fang's hand: "Hey, Lin Fang, you should go find the teacher yourself about this matter."
"I don't want the teacher to grab me and put the plunger into my hand."
After saying that, Fusu disappeared.
Lin Fang stood there, somewhat speechless.
"Who are these people? These are all!"
