In fact, Chen Ke was not originally planning to find a successor because he felt that accepting a disciple would be too troublesome.
But now Chen Ke believes that if he doesn't accept disciples, he can still find successors.
Why do you have to be a teacher in the current sense? Isn’t it okay to be a teacher in the modern world of the future?
He is only a teacher, a disseminator of knowledge, not a person's teacher.
Spread the knowledge in your heart so that everyone can see the clear knowledge, thereby making them progress little by little.
Chen Ke suddenly understood.
Although they do not inspire them, these people can still find the key to civilization bit by bit.
But since his inspiration could save them some time, why didn't he do it?
Bian Jili looked nervous when he heard Chen Ke's words, with an incredible look on his face: "You, what did you just say?"
"Do you want to accept me as your disciple?"
Chen Ke shook his head slightly and said with Bian Jili's somewhat disappointed look: "I'm just asking if you are willing to learn from me."
He lowered his head: "You and I don't have the title of master and disciple. I just want to teach you the book I read at the beginning so that you can know the principles of agriculture."
"If you are willing, you can learn from me."
"But there will never be a master-disciple relationship between you and me, and you are not allowed to say that you are my disciple outside."
"It's not fair to you, but are you willing?"
Chen Ke's voice was very candid, while Bian Jili knelt down on the ground without any hesitation.
Being able to study with Chen Ke is already a very fortunate thing for him. Even if he does not have the status of master and apprentice, he is willing to follow Chen Ke.
"I am willing."
Bian Jili followed Chen Ke's statement and did not stop calling Chen Ke teacher. Instead, he continued to call Chen Ke prime minister and called himself a lower official.
On the side, Chen Ping and Yue Huairang, the official in charge of grain management, expressed joy in their expressions: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Chen and congratulations to the official Bian."
Even if Bianjie Li did not have the status of Chen Ke's apprentice, Chen Ke would not admit this fact, but Yue Huairang and Chen Ping's attitude towards Bianjieli still changed.
Firstly, it was because Chen Ke was their superior and their immediate boss.
Secondly, it is because both Yue Huairang and Chen Ping are actually students of Chen Ke, and they are also students that Chen Ke does not recognize.
They are all students who came out of the first literary competition.
He is not only a student of His Majesty the First Emperor, but also a student of Chen Ke and Prime Minister Chen.
Chen Ke didn't say anything, he just continued to look at the piece of green pepper and various spices and said, "It's already April, so we need to hurry up."
"Divide these things that have matured into two parts. One part occupies one-tenth, and the other part occupies nine-tenths."
“That part of the tenth is reserved for the use of the court, to avoid spices which are not used by your majesty.”
"The other nine-tenths are caused by some surrounding imperial farmers starting to plant them. The growth cycle of green peppers and other spices is not very long."
Chen Ke calculated the time and said, "Probably around July or August, we will be able to catch up with autumn planting again."
"When you plant again in the fall, you can harvest again before winter comes."
Chen Ke said with a slight smile in his tone: "In this way, when the seeds can be sown next year, a lot of seeds have been accumulated and can be distributed."
"At that time, some merchants who are dependent on the court and the royal family will be ordered to plant this plant."
"Then gradually, people can buy the seeds of this spice from the Municipal Property Department, and then plant them by the people."
"When people grow spices in large quantities and make a living from it, the price of spices will be completely reduced. At that time, these spices can truly be turned into seasonings."
If spices will always be spices, this will not be a good thing for Chen Ke and Qian Shou.
But if spices become seasonings, it will become a good thing for Chen Ke and Qian Shou.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Although Chen Ke is still working hard to "let the head of Guizhou have enough food to eat", in the future Daqin must work towards the goal of "let the head of Guizhou have enough food to eat".
This is the inevitable trend of the progress of the times.

In the palace of hundreds of families
Lu Sheng's face looked a little tired, but when he looked at the things in his hands, his face was full of excitement.
He finally made this thing.
That firecracker described by Prime Minister Chen!
A simple thing that can pose a huge threat.
only......
Lu Sheng scratched his head. Why did this gun look different from what Chen Ke described?
He looked at the huge firecracker placed on the ground in front of him, and felt a little hesitant in his heart. What the Prime Minister said must be correct, that is, he did something wrong.
But the question is, which step did the problem occur?
"well."
Lu Sheng sighed helplessly: "I originally wanted to ask the Prime Minister for credit, but I didn't expect that now I have to ask the Prime Minister to answer my questions."
"But what's wrong with this firecracker?"
He doesn't understand.

Manufacturing Department
Today's manufacturing departments are getting bigger and bigger, and the manufacturing departments have even been divided into two major categories. One is to manufacture things invented by those people, and the other is to continuously develop and develop new things.
At this time, the Manufacturing Department is actually more like a collection of manufacturing plants + research institutes.
Chen Ke looked at the growing manufacturing department and nodded with satisfaction. For him, this was indeed a good thing.
He secretly made a decision in his mind that when the Manufacturing Agency expanded a bit, he could write to your Majesty to split the Manufacturing Agency into two parts, with one part being the research institute and the other part being the manufacturing bureau.
After the two are divided, they will no longer belong to the same category, and their level will naturally drop by half a level.
Chen Ke still did not stop reforming the imperial structure.
But it is gradually slowing down.
He looked at Chen Ping beside him and said, "Chen Ping, I heard that people in the Manufacturing Department have come up with a lot of new things these days?"
There was a hint of pride in Chen Ping's eyes: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, this is indeed the case."
"Since the last time it was announced that as long as you can invent and produce new things, you can get rewards and rewards, and you will not be bullied by superiors, the people in the Manufacturing Department have burst out with strong creativity."
"Now, in addition to the two-plate printing, papermaking, cement, and porcelain you left behind, someone has invented something as beautiful as porcelain, but more vivid and transparent."
"We call it Liuli."
"There are two kinds of colored glaze, each invented by two brothers."
“One is colorful but not transparent, it just looks crystal clear.”
"The other one is not bright in color, but its transparency is very high. Standing on the other side of the glass, you can clearly see the scenery on the opposite side of the glass."
"Because the colored glaze was fired first, and it is somewhat similar to the colored glaze, we did not change its name, but just changed it to colored glaze."
"In order to distinguish, one is colored glaze and the other is colored glaze mirror."
Chen Ke listened to Chen Ping's introduction with a slight smile in his heart.
Isn't this so-called glazed mirror just glass?
Even without its own so-called invention, glass appeared in this era.
This shows that as long as the creativity of ancient people is not suppressed, they can create many excellent things.
"What about other than that?"
Chen Ping continued to lead Chen Ke forward. As he walked, he introduced: "There is another craftsman who accidentally did some other processes when making paper."
"Originally he wanted to receive a penalty, but he suddenly discovered a problem."
"The paper after this process became softer, and he came up with an idea, what if the paper continues to become softer?"
"He made an incredibly soft paper, but that's what paper is used for today..."
Having said this, Chen Ping was a little embarrassed: "The purpose of these papers is a bit embarrassing. They are temporarily used for changing clothes, wiping dirt on the table, and other functions."
"It doesn't do much."
After hearing this, Chen Ke's eyes lit up instantly.
Extraordinarily soft paper, paper that can be used to change clothes...
Suddenly he thought of something, wasn't it toilet paper...
Since he came here, he has always been a noble, and he is the top noble, so he has not been troubled by anything.
For example, changing clothes——
This is a little bit of ancient civilization saying, which is actually the reincarnation of grains.
In ancient times, "changing clothes" actually used bamboo pieces...
That feeling.
Well, it's exciting.
He looked at Chen Ping and said with some emotion: "Chen Ping, you did a good job."
"Under your leadership, the Manufacturing Department is indeed developing in a better direction."
Hearing this compliment, Chen Ping felt sour in his heart.
This is the best compliment for him.
In fact, when he took over the position of director of the Manufacturing Department, he had been very worried and anxious.
This is true even if Chen Ping is very confident in himself, because his previous director was the current Prime Minister Chen Ke.
This is a huge pressure thing for Chen Ping. His predecessor is so good, and if he does something bad, he will be reviled easily.
Taking over from a sage is never an easy task.
Fortunately, today, he was praised by Chen Ke, which felt like a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"I will certainly live up to the trust of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and I will do my best."

Qin Coin Bank
After finishing a busy day's work, Zhang Si rubbed his cheek and prepared to get off work.
Yes.
I don’t know who led the trend in the imperial court, but now they all call scattered values as off duty and point values as work.
This is a unique and interesting name for those powerful people, but for Zhang Si, it is just a title.
He stretched and after counting the coins in the treasury, he looked at the sundial in the yard.
There are still two quarters of an hour until get off work.
At this time, two people walking in not far away were supporting each other. Their faces had a look of vicissitudes of life, and their clothes were in tatters and looked very dirty.
Zhang Si did not dislike these two people, but sat down again, waiting for the clerk outside to ask about their business, and then handled it for them.
After a while, the clerk outside the door came quietly, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Li Zhang, they said they want to store some money at Qin Coin Bank, but they don't have much money."
"Does our Qin Coin Store have this function?"
Saving some money?
Zhang Si nodded clearly. He looked at Liu Gu and said, "Our Qin Coin Bank does have this function. Please bring those two people in."
"Remember to ascend the throne and distribute signs."
Liu Gu nodded.
After a while, the two men came to the counter tremblingly and cautiously, looked at Zhang Si inside, and whispered: "This, this official, we heard that Qin Coin Bank can save money."
"So I want to save my savings."
Zhang Si still asked kindly: "Okay, do you two have an account with Qin Coin Bank?"
The two looked at each other and shook the picture, looking confused.
Zhang Si looked at the two of them and asked, "Did those two bring identification? You need to open an account to store coins, and you need identification to open an account."
】
One of the old men nodded, then took out his ID card from his arms and handed it to Zhang Si.
Zhang Si took the certificate, registered it carefully, then took out a piece of paper with a special pattern and imprint from under the cabinet, and asked again: "Two old people, how much do you want to save?"
The old man tremblingly took out a big money bag from his arms and dumped it on the counter.
"A total of one hundred and thirty-five dollars."
Most of the coins on the counter are one copper coin or one copper coin.
Zhang Si did not feel bored, and chatted with the two of them while counting: "Why are you two thinking about saving money at Qin Coin Bank?"
Perhaps because Zhang Si's attitude was very gentle, the nervousness of the two old men had gradually faded away.
Involuntarily, I started chatting with Zhang Si about home affairs.
"We, the couple, have been selling some soups and snacks in Xianyang City to earn some money to support ourselves. In the past, it was good to have a hundred bucks throughout the year. We can take care of our lives."
"In the past two years, thanks to the efforts of the king and the immortals, life has gotten better little by little. Now I have saved more than 100 yuan in two months."
"We two old guys don't dare to hide at home for fear of being robbed."
"I just want to deposit it in Qin Coin Bank."
Zhang Si smiled and chatted with the two of them. By the time they finished counting, they were almost done talking.
Write the number on the paper, register the information, stamp it with your own seal and the seal of Qin Coin Bank, and hand the things to the two of them.
He watched the two figures staggering away with a little emotion in his tone.
"The days are getting better and better."
He hammered his shoulders and looked at the sundial, which had already passed the off-duty time: "Let's go home."
On the way home, looking at the still prosperous Xianyang City, Zhang Si bought his children the food and toys he had always wanted.
Where have there been such good days before?
The days are indeed getting better day by day.
Da Qin is also becoming more prosperous day by day.

morning
Great court meeting.
Today's court meeting must be extraordinary, because Wang Jian and Old General Wang, who had not appeared for a long time, also appeared in the court hall, and the old gods were sitting at the front.
The shrimps below looked at the serious expressions of Sangong and Jiuqing, and they were all ready to face the coming storm.
The meeting started as usual.
"My dear friends, do you have anything important to say?"
