Not only Zuo Ge said this, but Chen Ping on the side also looked pitiful.
He is obviously at the same level as Jiu Qing, and can even be said to have joined Jiu Qing's ranks, but when facing Chen Ke, he still acts like a naughty child.
"Prime Minister, we have done our best to do what you ordered."
"But if you want to manufacture the thing you mentioned before, you must need a large area. Our manufacturing department does not have enough space."
Chen Ping said with runny nose and tears: "Our Manufacturing Department was originally built when you were here. Although it was expanded later, in Xianyang City where land is precious, it cannot be expanded no matter what."
"On the previous scale, I could only do other small things."
"If you want to study something big, you must expand the scale."
"What's more, the manufacturing department is now in the bustling city of Xianyang City. Even if you want to study something confidential, it is impossible."
Gongshuyu also lamented: "Prime Minister, there is really not enough space for the Manufacturing Department."
"In the past, when the public was researching destructive weapons, they were still able to use them, but since Dr. Lu Sheng sent the gunpowder, the manufacturing department has completely run out of space."
"We want to study gunpowder and come up with the muskets you mentioned, as well as portable offensive weapons that can be used in the military. They will often turn the manufacturing department upside down."
"People from the Manufacturing Department have told us many times."
"If this place cannot be solved, I'm afraid..."
The following words were silent, but the meaning was already obvious.
The rest of the craftsmen couldn't speak. They just followed the three waves of people following the orders from above and the orders of their own directors. So at this time, all they can say is, yes, yes, yes.
Chen Ke pressed his forehead. He raised his head and looked at Chen Ping, who was standing there with a grimace on his face. He felt helpless.
He then looked at Zuo Ge who was standing aside: "Senior brother, why are you messing around with them?"
Zuo Ge looked innocent: "Junior brother, what are you talking about? What's wrong, senior brother?"
Chen Ke rolled his eyes and could only agree: "Okay, okay, just don't worry."
"The expansion plan of Xianyang City has been included in the five-year plan. Chen Ping, you should know this."
Chen Ke looked at Chen Ping: "I can't say much, I can only tell you that the details of the five-year plan are already being drawn up, and I will discuss this matter with Prime Minister Li Si."
He said somewhat meaningfully: "Of course, the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now."
"As for the detailed content and specific circumstances of formulating the five-year plan, people from the Civil Affairs Department of the Prime Minister's Department usually come up with an initial version."
"So, if you are pestering me here, you might as well think of a way to have a meal with some friends and get together."
Chen Ping suddenly understood after listening to Chen Ke's words.
What does this mean?
too easy.
The original version was drawn up by the Clerical Affairs Department of the Prime Minister's Department. Who is the first-level clerk in the Clerical Affairs Department of the Prime Minister's Department and the person in charge of the entire Clerical Affairs Department?
….
It was Cao Shen, Chen Ping's good friend and old friend, who came from Pei County together.
With the acquiescence of Prime Minister Chen Ke, the premise that the Manufacturing Department itself is very important, and his relationship with Cao Shen, it was easy to mention the Manufacturing Department in the five-year plan.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice."
Chen Ping didn't feel that he had come the wrong way this time, but rather felt that he had come at the right time.
If he didn't come, how would he know that the people in the Civil Affairs Department were responsible for drafting the original version? If he didn't come, without Chen Ke's acquiescence, would Cao Shen really be willing to sell him, a fellow countryman, a piece of thin noodles?
No one knows this.
Because these are two different things, coming or not, and whether there is acquiescence or not, they are completely different in nature.
When Chen Ping led a group of people to leave happily, Zuo Ge stayed. He lay down on the lounge chair beside him. The two chairs swayed together, which made people unhappy.
"Junior brother, I still have trouble with the manufacturing department."
Chen Ke didn't open his eyes, just shook the chair silently, and said after a moment: "Brother, aren't you in Baijia Palace? Why did you end up in the manufacturing department?"
"Don't like teaching anymore?"
Zuo Ge twitched his lips: "What kind of teaching do I know? My disciples are still taught by the original teacher. They are said to be my disciples, but in fact they are more like you and me."
"It's just that at that time, the teacher had already sworn not to accept any more disciples."
He said with emotion: "I thought Baijia Palace was a clean place where you could study knowledge, but later I discovered that I was wrong."
Zuo Ge was a little silent: "Baijia Palace is also a place full of human feelings and sophistication. At that time, I thought that if there is a place that is clean, then it must be the manufacturing department where you worked before."
He suddenly said with some pride: "So I went to ask Your Majesty to transfer me to the Manufacturing Department."
"His Majesty has decreed that while I teach at Baijia Palace, I will also serve as one of the four commanders of the Manufacturing Department."
"That's why I came with Chen Ping this time."
Chen Ke didn't say anything, just said silently: "That's fine."
He looked at the clouds in the sky: "How is the research on thermal weapons going?"
"It might come in handy after a while."
Zuo Ge was a little surprised: "Has the imperial court's decision to attack Baiyue been settled?"
"I thought that plan, even if there was an attack on Baiyue, would put this matter aside."
Chen Ke sneered: "Over there in Baiyue, there is what Great Qin needs most now. A certain port in South Vietnam is also the most critical node, so we must occupy it."
"It's the same even if we don't continue to expand for a while after we attack it."
Zuo Ge looked a little serious at this time: "Okay, then I will seize the time in the next few days, and when I get back, I will urge Gongshu Yu and the others to make them go faster."
Chen Ke said leisurely and contentedly: "The wind is going to blow."
"The wind of Qin will eventually blow to all parts of the world, so that everyone can feel the majesty and solemnity of Qin's laws."

Kuaiji County Sheriff's Mansion
Yang Tianyi was sitting in the governor's mansion, with a somewhat solemn and heavy look on his face: "I wonder if the court has received what I sent out."
While Yang Tianyi was deep in thought, a voice came from not far away: "What are you thinking, Commander Yang?"
A middle-aged man came from a distance. His cheeks looked strange, and his eyes seemed to be bulging out.
This makes this man even more sharp.
Of course, his voice was sharper than his face.
"Are you willing to cooperate with us?"
Sweet and sour wage earner
