Whether to eat the pancake is the choice of Zhongmu County Governor, and whether to provide the pancake is the choice of Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi.
They are not asking for anything, but really seeing the needs of the current court.
The merchants in this period were much stronger than some merchants in later generations. They could even unconditionally relieve the government's worries before the government and the court became anxious about this matter.
But this is not because they are patriotic in their hearts.
It's because unreasonable power politics is allowed in this period, and no one dares or can have an opinion.
For example, if the First Emperor, or even Chen Ke, or further down the line, the governor of Zhongmu County, the two Shentu people, and even most of the merchants in the world, would die in Zhongmu County.
This is the power of power.
Zhai Xi and Shentu woke up and saw in advance the possibility of this power and unreasonableness, so they made friends with the county guard in advance.
Of course, perhaps an ordinary county guard would not allow them to please them so much, even to the point of putting down their status and everything to please them at any cost. After all, donating this trading company would be a pain in the ass for both of them.
But the governors of Zhongmu County, Xianyang City, and Tianhai County are definitely worth it.
No matter they are Shentu Xingwu or Zhai Xi, no matter they are other businessmen or someone from an extremely wealthy country.
What the two men did spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, and all the merchants saw and heard what Shentu Xingwu and the two did, but they were still hesitant at this time.
However, within half a month, no one hesitated.
Because these two people's behavior of donating "commercial houses" was highly praised by Chen Ke, the Prime Minister of the Zuo Dynasty and the Marquis of Chang'an, and Prime Minister Chen personally wrote the word "Yi Shang" for the two people, and then sent them to Zhai in Zhongmu County. Xi and Shen Tu woke up at their home.
If it were just like this, although other merchants would be moved and donate to the firm, they would not make a donation that would be too strenuous.
But the next move made all the merchants feel cold, and they quickly invested a large amount of money to promote people's livelihood products and sell basic people's livelihood products. After a period of time, everything was arranged properly. Afterwards, it was donated to various imperial courts.
Then, headed by Zhai Xi and Shentu Xingwu, many big businessmen each donated part of their money and jointly established a new "commercial house" in Xianyang City.
In other words, these trading houses can no longer be called trading houses.
Because Chen Ke named it "Da Qin Minsheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative", he even split off part of the Municipal Property Department again and merged it into Da Qin Minsheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Since then, the Daqin Minsheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a trading house controlled by one merchant and several merchants, has completely transformed into a government agency and a court agency.
And the grade is not low.
It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Property Department.
Of course, those "people" who were originally in the supply and marketing cooperative could not be regarded as members of the civil servants of Da Qin. They must pass the review and reach certain limits before they can successfully become regular members.
Today they are just temporary members of the "Supply and Marketing Cooperative".
And this also allowed the people of the world to see the strategy of Chen Ke, who was rumored to be the god after god, who was like an immortal descending to the earth, and who was full of scheming and evil plans.
Just two words exchanged a huge organization, countless money, endless manpower out of thin air, and even the businessmen who had their money taken away had to open their mouths and sincerely thank Chen Ke... ..
How could ordinary people do this?
What kind of character and what kind of means can we achieve such a step?
This is amazing.

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu beside him and put down the scroll in his hand with some emotion.
"Fusu, your teacher's methods are still so cruel and novel, and you actually want to make those all-pervasive merchants pay such a high price."
Fusu was a little worried: "Father, will the teacher's methods make those merchants feel resentful?"
"Furthermore, even if this supply and marketing cooperative has a large amount of funds and channels to obtain basic livelihood necessities, some of them are businessmen. Are they really...?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and started laughing.
Although Fusu now has many means and the mentality of a superior, he is still limited in some places.
"Fusu, what do you think this supply and marketing cooperative does?"
Fusu was a little stunned. Is there any need to ask this question?
He scratched his head and looked at Ying Zheng: "Father, isn't the role of supply and marketing cooperatives to provide for ordinary people and the daily life of Guizhou? After all, the items sold in supply and marketing cooperatives basically protect people's livelihood."
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a smile and listened to Fusu's thoughts without saying a word.
At this time, Fusu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said with some surprise: "Did the teacher actively, voluntarily, or even secretly induce those merchants to interfere in the affairs of this supply and marketing cooperative?"
He said somewhat incredulously: "That's it, that's it."
In fact, it is not difficult to find the answer to this question.
Eliminate all wrong answers, no matter how absurd the last answer is, it is still a correct answer.
A good emperor must be good at finding the truest answer among a bunch of seemingly correct answers and a bunch of seemingly wrong answers.
Fusu looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Father, the teacher just wants to let the merchants join this supply and marketing cooperative. In this way, it can save the court a lot of money and make these merchants voluntarily bleed?"
This is a reasonable guess.
After all, the original function of the supply and marketing cooperative is to provide basic livelihood necessities for the people. Even if the merchants want to intervene in this matter, they have no way to change the most basic rules of the existence of this supply and marketing cooperative.
That is "cheap basic necessities for people's livelihood."
This is his most basic rule and his only rule.
If this only rule changes, the merchants have no way to hide it. They can only let everyone know that they want to change this basic rule.
It can be said that this is a very wild and risky idea.
If it were a future generation, Chen Ke would definitely not do this 10,000%;
Because there is no need to pay attention to any rules in this era, he can use a very arrogant, rough, and even unreasonable method to solve all problems.
That is--
kill.
Although many people in later generations say that the power of "Iron Fist" is very powerful, and in fact the power of "Iron Fist" is also very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, there are still scruples.
But the current Great Qin doesn’t use it.
To give a simple example, if the richest businessman in the Qin Dynasty wants to provoke the imperial court and starts to talk wildly, saying that the imperial court is not doing well, he should be like himself and learn from himself, saying that the imperial court has suppressed him or something. , and even tried to tie up the entire world's economy to protect themselves.
Then there is only one fate for this person.
die.
Moreover, nine or even ten clans were wiped out, and then all the money and family properties were confiscated.
But when civilization develops to a certain stage, it can no longer be like this. It can only use a slow and peaceful "legitimate" method to gradually make you less arrogant.
Even in the end, he couldn't let that person "die", let alone kill the nine tribes.
But as long as that person is alive, the influence that person has caused will always exist. Everyone will have the concept of "Ah, what's the point? If I become one, I will be invincible. Even if I lose, won't I still be prosperous and wealthy?"
This is the reason why Chen Ke dares to use merchants.
When he was willing to reason with the merchants, the only thing the merchants had to do was to pull his thighs happily and excitedly, and then wait for him to bleed.
Because he can be unreasonable at any time.
After Fusu realized this, he couldn't help but admired: "Father, the teacher is still so unconstrained."
He scratched his head and said helplessly: "But, does the teacher have too much ill will towards those merchants?"
"It feels like the teacher is digging holes for these people all the time."
Ying Zheng shook his head and laughed for the first time in a long time: "Hahahahahahaha, why do you care so much?"
"You and I are also your teachers. Whatever your teacher wants to do, can't you just cooperate?"
He stood up and stretched: "What your teacher said is very reasonable. The economic base determines the superstructure. Today, Daqin has developed into a very prosperous situation. If it wants to continue to develop, it must be Lay the "foundation" well. "
Ying Zheng yawned: "Yawn——"
He said a little tiredly: "Okay, you can think about these things slowly, and those government affairs-"
Ying Zheng pointed to the pile of government affairs in the distance and said with a smile: "Those are all left for you, you need to adapt slowly."
"The date for the court meeting has already been set. It's almost spring now. When spring comes, I will travel with your teacher and the others."
"At that time, the heavy responsibility of supervising the country will fall on you."
There was a hint of relaxation and hesitation in Ying Zheng's voice: "This time, nothing about Xianyang City will be sent to the convoy, and I don't want to have to deal with matters in the world while touring the world."
He looked at Fusu with a rare solemnity and solemnity in his voice.
"You only get two chances."
"Give me two opportunities to send you government affairs that you can't handle. The third time I will return to Xianyang City and end the tour."
"do you understand?"
Fusu originally listened to Chen Ke's teachings with a calm attitude, but when he heard this, he was suddenly startled. He raised his head slowly and looked at Ying Zheng standing there, with a look in his eyes. A touch of uncanny.
"Father...Father?"
Ying Zheng didn't explain anything, he just smiled and walked silently outside the hall.
Fusu was left alone in Zhangtai Palace.
Han Tan followed Ying Zheng's footsteps and left. The entire Zhangtai Palace became even quieter, with only the crackling sound of the oil lamps burning day and night in the hall.
Of course Fusu understood the deep meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
But precisely because he understood the deep meaning, he was very incomprehensible, very confused, and even a little unable to accept it.
What do you mean by only two chances? What does it mean that no government affairs will be sent to Ying Zheng?
Here, it may be necessary to explain the meaning of "supervising the country".
The history of supervising the country does not mean that after the emperor leaves, everything will be handled by the prince, and then the emperor will know nothing.
If the prince dares to do this, the emperor can come back the next day, and even the emperor's people in Kyoto can rebuke the prince the next day whether he wants to rebel.
In history, supervising the country refers to the prince handling some of the most basic government affairs, and this handling is not done like the emperor does.
Instead, he gave his own opinions and had them sent to the emperor, who then gave his final approval.
The person who decides this matter is still the emperor, but the prince can "experience" it in advance.
This is like giving you the perspective and experience of the role of "Emperor", but you do not have the authority to control him. You can only see what the Emperor usually does and deal with, and feel the feeling of being superior.
Yet even this level of experiential rights has historically been uncommon.
What's more, the First Emperor Ying Zheng devolved power in a grand way of "supervising the country"? It can be said that as long as the First Emperor does not come back for a day, the actual emperor of the Qin Empire will be "Fusu" for that day.
And when will the emperor come back?
The First Emperor gave two answers. First, he toured the world. Second: Fusu had two or more things that he couldn't solve, so he had no choice but to ask for help.
In fact, there is a hidden third condition: Fusu has managed the world in a terrible way.
If any of these three possibilities is triggered, the First Emperor will be like an "NPC" who solves the problem for "Player Fusu", return to the Qin Dynasty, and suppress the world again.
Of course, this solution comes at a cost.
The price was that Fusu was also eliminated.
Fusu let out a long sigh, and the sigh echoed in the Zhangtai Palace.
"Why--"
This long sigh contained a little bit of sadness, a little bit of surprise, excitement, surprise, and many other emotions.
A transfer of power seems to be proceeding slowly.
.........
Winter time flies by quickly, day by day passing by.
Soon, February is here, and so is spring.
Some people are elated when spring comes, while others fall into silent sadness.
Wang Guan's family was running around in white clothes early in the morning. Wang Guan's five sons went to different places respectively, namely Chen Ke's Mansion, Li Si's Mansion, Wang Jian's Mansion, Mengtian's Mansion, and Xianyang Palace.
Chen Ke looked a little silent. He looked at the young man in plain clothes who was kneeling in front of him, and stretched out his hand to help him up.
He looked at the man and said softly: "No need to say more, I will go to the house in person to see the prince off."
The young man nodded and left with red eyes.
Chen Ke silently looked at the scenery above the sky, and after a long time he sighed with emotion: "Spring is here, and the difficult winter is over again."
“But how many people are buried this winter?”
He didn't have much contact with Wang Guan, just some relationships between colleagues.
But Chen Ke began to worry about the health of his true friend.
————————————————————————
Attached is the introduction and title of the new book~
Hey, I’ve shown the editor the beginning of the new book, and he said it’s okay. What, what, what?
"I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty"
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I will kill all the thieves in the world.
The four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty has come to an end, and everyone is wailing under the sky.
Humanity is the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and there are talents everywhere.
But why can't many talented people allow me, a great man, to continue for another four hundred years?
This is an emperor who is more benevolent and righteous than Uncle Liu Huang, more cunning than Prime Minister Cao, and more brave than King Sun Bawang.
The third restoration of the great Han Dynasty is my destiny.
The protagonist is probably a very different person from Chen Ke. It can be said that he is the person I ideally want to be, rather than a salty fish like me and Chen Ke.
