What Chen Ke said made sense, but Wang Jian and Li Si felt uncomfortable hearing it.
Especially Wang Jian.
Li Sishang was okay and understood the twists and turns involved. After all, he was engaged in political means. If he didn't understand this, he wouldn't have been able to assist Zuo Shihuang to unify the six countries.
Wang Jian sighed and said, "Before I came here, I made a bet with Chen Xiaozi. If the King of Shang didn't follow Chen Xiaozi's tricks, I would win."
"I just didn't expect it. I still don't understand this."
He shook his head slightly and paused slightly: "But, I did watch a big show."
"According to what Chen Xiaozi said, the Yin Shang Continent contains a lot of something called "oil". This kind of thing is as precious as gold, or even more precious than gold. "
"Using Shang Guo's heart to gain more benefits for our Great Qin is a good thing for us."
"It may also be a good thing for Shang Guo."
Li Si nodded slightly: "Next, what we have to consider is how to let the "Qin Law" judge other countries and the land of Rizhao. "
For people like Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Wang Jian, this may be a difficult but not difficult matter.
But for Chen Ke, this is not a difficult thing.
Because he has a ready reference.
He chuckled: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Lieutenant, this is not that difficult."
"For all the places where the sun shines to use the Qin Law, or even use the Qin Law as a benchmark, a total of two prerequisites are needed."
"First, it is powerful enough to crush all existing countries."
"The second is to spread the culture of Great Qin throughout the world, so that legends and culture about Great Qin can be spread throughout the land of sunshine, so that everyone knows that there is a country in the world called Great Qin."
Chen Ke turned his head and looked at Ying Zheng: "Now, we have actually accomplished the first one."
"Today's Great Qin is already the strongest in the world."
"What we need to do next is the second thing."
"And this is even simpler. As long as there are merchants, there will be the spread of culture and civilization."
"People always like to be strong. If Da Qin is strong enough, people from other countries will flock to us. There are not many countries in the world that are confident enough."
"What's more, is the Central Plains civilization attractive enough?"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly. He pointed at Chen Ke and said, "Okay, today's Great Qin is not bad, but it is not to the level you said."
"Da Qin's strength still needs to be gradually improved."
He sighed slightly, waved his hand and continued walking forward.
Li Si and the other three followed Ying Zheng. After looking at each other, they all understood the meaning of Ying Zheng's words and smiled slightly.

Juxingyuan
Xu Fu looked at Di Lun who was sitting there like a dead fish and smiled.
"Can King Shang feel relieved now?"
Di Lun's heartbeat had not completely calmed down, but when he heard Xu Fu's words, he felt emotional in his heart: "Don't worry."
He shook his head and said: "I just didn't expect that Chen Fengchang was so powerful that he could convince Emperor Qin to do such a useless thing."
For the King of Shang, he did not understand how important the so-called "culture" spread and the so-called "Qin Law" were to judge the rest of the land.
Because King Shang is still in a state of semi-annihilation of the country, in this state, he cannot think about higher things at all.
Xu Fu knew it, but did not point it out. He was from Da Qin, so of course he had to consider Da Qin.
He said with some emotion: "Since Your Majesty has settled this matter, there will be no other troubles in the future."
"His Majesty the First Emperor always sticks to his word. No one else can change the things he decides. What's more, this time the matter was decided together with Chen Fengchang, Prime Minister Li, and General Wang?"
"I think His Majesty's intention is that he is not going to explain this matter in the court anymore, but to announce it directly."
"His Royal Highness King Shang can prepare to leave."
Leave?
These two words seemed a little far away to Di Lun, but they didn't seem very far away.
He looked at the sky in the distance and couldn't help but murmur to himself, his tone full of nostalgia and reluctance.
"Are you leaving now?"
"It's really a bit sad to give up."
For Di Lun, compared with the Shang Kingdom, Da Qin was like a fantasy in a dream.
Here he doesn't have to think about the complicated government affairs, let alone when the neighboring tribes will attack, nor do he have to think about some chaotic forces.
There are delicious food, ancient culture, and luxurious palaces here.
To be honest, Di Lun no longer wanted to leave, but at this moment he knew that he had to leave.
No normal person would despise his hometown or his motherland, the place where he was born and raised.
Di Lun knew that he could envy the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, but he could never dislike, despise or even insult his country's backwardness because of it.
He can feel that Great Qin has all kinds of good things, and he can feel that his own country has all kinds of bad things, but he cannot abandon his country and throw himself into the embrace of Great Qin.
This is the same even if Great Qin is not hostile to its own country, but is in a friendly state.
This is something that a three-year-old child knows. Except for some people with bad minds, everyone should be able to do it and must be able to do it.
The son does not think the mother is ugly, the son does not think the family is poor.
Xu Fu looked at Di Lun, who was filled with emotion, and nodded slightly: "This time, I will probably leave with King Shang to the Yin Shang Continent."
He put his hand on the map of Kanyu on the table: "According to Feng Chang and King Shang, there is a land further outside the Shang Kingdom, and that land is connected to the Yin Shang Continent."
There was a slight smile in Xu Fu's eyes: "I want to explore that land and see what exists on that land."
He stood there like a boat drifting in the wind and waves.
"I was born like this. I should travel around the world. Even if I die, I will die on the sea. I will die on the way to explore the world."
"I, Xu Fu, will use my own feet to measure the world's land in this life!"
For Xu Fu, at this time, he did not know how much influence his vows or aspirations would have on the future, nor did he know his identity in future generations.
But he knew that he did what he wanted to do.
That's the best part.

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, since you are planning to stay in the court and in Xianyang, then think about what you want to do."
】
"Besides, I don't think it's good for you to continue to hold the position of Fengchang."
"How about changing to another one?"
Ying Zheng's question seemed to be in a discussion tone, but in fact there was no room for discussion at all.
Chen Ke knew this, and Ying Zheng himself knew this too.
"well."
Chen Ke pushed the chess piece in his hand forward. The only entertainment method in this era seemed to be playing chess.
"Of course I will obey His Majesty's arrangements and obey His Majesty's orders."
"Snapped--"
With a crisp sound, a chess piece fell on the chessboard, and at this time Ying Zheng also said with a smile: "In that case, you can help Li Si."
Ying Zheng sighed slightly.
"Li Si is really too busy, so busy that I can't bear it."
He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I want you to help Wang Jian. After all, this old guy Wang Jian is too old."
"I always had a bad feeling some time ago. Although this feeling has subsided recently, I still feel uneasy."
"As I have few ministers to conquer the world, the court has been replaced one after another. Those who are still alive and still in the court are Wang Jian and his son, Meng Tian brothers, Li Si, Zhang Han, Zhao Tuo is waiting for a few people."
"Now that Wang Jian is serving as a lieutenant, he is busy handling military affairs. I'm worried that his body won't be able to bear it."
Chen Ke raised his head and was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, do you want me to be a lieutenant?"
"Isn't your Majesty afraid that General Wang Jian thinks this is a power grab?"
Lieutenant? Seize power?
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes: "Chen Ke, you have a good idea. You can directly serve as the Taiwei."
"Do you think that by becoming a lieutenant, you can escape from government affairs?"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with a half-smile: "After all, military affairs can be said to be too much or too little, at least compared to the government affairs that the Prime Minister should handle."
Chen Ke smiled coquettishly, lowered his head, and hid his embarrassed face: "Your Majesty...what did your Majesty say?"
"I am devoted to Your Majesty and to Great Qin. Why would you want to be lazy?"
"As long as it is a task assigned by His Majesty, I am willing to handle it without any delay."
The words were sonorous and powerful, but to what extent they were effective, only Chen Ke himself knew.
Oh, maybe Ying Zheng also knows.
Ying Zheng just sneered: "Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you more."
He directly threw an imperial edict into Chen Ke's arms: "Take it and read it yourself."
"Although the position I gave you may not satisfy you, Li Si and I are very satisfied."
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I believe you will not let me down, right Chen Ke?"
At this time, Ying Zheng did not use me, but used me.
This not only weakened his sense of oppression, but also created a feeling of closeness.
If it were anyone else, he would have been extremely excited and moved at this time, but Chen Ke didn't feel that way.
He just scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I... I'll do your best."
Chen Ke put the imperial edict in his arms and did not dare to look at it.
After learning about it in the past few days, he actually had some speculations in his mind. After all, there were only so many positions left for him now.
There is no other choice.
After all, Fengchang is nominally the head of the Nine Ministers, and he has served as governor and young governor. Now that the First Emperor wants to keep him in Xianyang, he must be promoted to a high level, or at least to a low level.
But level adjustment is impossible because there is no room for level adjustment.
Fengchang is the head of the Nine Qings. According to the previously determined rank, he is half a grade higher than the other Nine Qings.
There are indeed no official positions at this level now.
Therefore, if Chen Ke is given an official position in the imperial court, and he does not want people in Xianyang City and Chen Ke to misunderstand, then he must be promoted.
That is to say, only the position of San Gong is left waiting for Chen Ke.
Through what I said just now, one Taiwei can be eliminated, and then only one Yushi doctor and one prime minister will remain.
So far, Li Si has served as Prime Minister on the Right, leaving the position of Prime Minister on the Left.
In fact, the left and right prime ministers are equal in rank and even in practice, but the Qin Dynasty currently respects the right, so according to some unexplainable rules, the right prime minister is slightly higher than the left prime minister. of.
There are only two choices left for Chen Ke, unless Ying Zheng can think of a new position with the same level as the Third Duke, and will also be responsible for the responsibilities of the new position, dividing the efforts of the Taiwei and some of the Prime Minister.
Chen Ke felt that the possibility of this was relatively small.
And in the case of the imperial censor and Zuo Cheng, they are quite similar...
Chen Ke felt that as a colleague like him, he would be more likely to serve as the Prime Minister of the Left. After all, in theory, the imperial censor was responsible for supervision and other matters.
For Ying Zheng, who wants Chen Ke to help handle government affairs, Prime Minister Zuo is the only best choice.
Chen Ke played chess with Ying Zheng for a while before leaving.
...........
After Chen Ke left, Ying Zheng put down the chess pieces in his hands. Fusu walked out of the back hall and looked at Ying Zheng and laughed: "Hahahahahaha, Father, look at what I said, am I right?"
"The teacher will definitely accept it, even if he is not happy to accept it."
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu sideways, and then said: "If your teacher knows that it was you who came up with the idea, just wait for your teacher to deal with you."
"After all, your teacher's mind is not very small, and he holds a lot of grudges."
Fusu squinted his eyes and smiled happily: "What's the point? Just hold grudges. At most, you can clean me up."
"Although the teacher holds grudges, he has a bad memory."
"Sometimes, it's the little things that he forgets quickly."
Ying Zheng and Fu Su looked at each other and smiled, both of them had fox-like cunning in their eyes.
"You, anyway, when your teacher takes care of you, it has nothing to do with me."
"I won't help you either."
"But, your teacher won't do anything to you."
After Ying Zheng yawned, he looked at Fusu and waved his hands in disgust: "Okay, okay, this is none of your business."
Fusu curled his lips, whispered "burning bridges across the river", and quickly ran away before Ying Zheng could react.

long street
Chen Ke had just left the palace and opened the imperial edict in his arms with a curious look in his eyes.
What kind of new position will His Majesty the First Emperor give him?
When he saw the positions written in the imperial edict, Chen Ke's eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion.
this.....
What the hell is this!
