When the convoy arrived at Zhongmu County, the governor of Zhongmu County was not aware of it yet. He was dealing with some government affairs and problems with the businessmen in the county.
Zhongmu is Chen Ke's hometown. The successive county governors here are all dedicated and dedicated, and they can't wait to devote all their energy to it.
Because they were afraid that if they did anything wrong here, Prime Minister Chen would deal with them.
Even if Prime Minister Chen is too lazy to take action against juniors like them, what about Prime Minister Chen's disciples?
Are the Prime Minister's disciples easy to mess with?
The descendants of the Chen family are spread throughout the Qin Dynasty.
Although it is only recognized by these disciples, not Chen Ke.
But this is also a kind of recognition. After all, if the prime minister didn't want these disciples, he would have spoken long ago. Once he spoke, would others dare to say anything?
By the time the people in the county hurriedly found the county guard, the First Emperor's motorcade was only twenty miles away from the county seat of Zhongmu County.
It takes about two hours to arrive.
When the governor of Zhongmu County heard the news, he stood up quickly with a look of panic on his face. Even the two "righteous merchants" beside him couldn't care less.
He looked at Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi and said hurriedly: "You two, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are here. I don't have time to receive you two at the moment. Please go back first."
"As for what you two said, I will definitely consider it as soon as possible."
Zhai Xi stood up, with very peaceful expressions on their faces, even a gentle smile.
"Why should the Sheriff be so polite?"
"This is also where my two families are located. The better Zhongmu County is, the better we can develop."
"Everything is what we should do."
The two looked at each other, bowed and left.
The governor of Zhongmu County hurriedly changed his clothes, summoned the senior officials of Zhongmu County, and immediately rushed outside the city of Zhongmu County, where he would wait for the king and the prime minister!
.........
Outside the county town
The carriage was swaying, and everything seemed normal.
The First Emperor and Chen Ke had already changed into a carriage. The general structure of this carriage was similar to the previous one, but what was more magnificent was that there was a transparent glass on one side of the carriage that occupied one-third of the wall on one side of the carriage.
This is a piece of "glass" that was barely made by the people at the institute after they didn't know how long they had been researching it and how much glass they had spent.
What is glass.
Although it is transparent, people on the opposite side see the people inside with a blur, while the people inside see the people outside clearly.
This was originally regarded by the people at the institute as a failure in making a glass mirror. After all, a regular mirror requires both sides to be able to see each other.
One side is visible and the other side is invisible, which does not meet the requirements.
Chen Ke happened to pass by the research institute that day and heard their discussion, so he immediately kept the mirror.
Later it was used on the carriage.
Isn't this the best way to observe the outside world without being viewed as a "monkey" by the outside world?
One-way mirrors are always great for privacy.
It's just that this era doesn't pay attention to this. Let the people look at the majestic and solemn emperor and shock them. This is also a purpose of the emperors touring the world.
The scenery outside the window is very beautiful, because it is the time for farming, and the Guizhou leaders are bending down to plant in the fields.
Whether it was rice or sweet potatoes, potatoes and other items distributed previously, Ying Zheng and Chen Ke also saw people in several fields growing peppers, spices and other items distributed by the imperial court.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but said with emotion: "The leaders of Guizhou here in Zhongmu County really live a peaceful and happy life."
"If everyone in the world could live like this, I wouldn't have to worry."
Chen Ke looked at the people working in the fields with a smile. There was no longer so much numbness in their eyes, replaced by a kind of joy and hope for life.
This light can sustain them.
And if they survive, they will be able to bring more and better changes and benefits to Da Qin.
Why did the original Great Qin collapse so quickly?
Because the first emperor almost drained the young and middle-aged labor force of the Qin Dynasty and asked them to build the imperial mausoleum of Lishan Mountain, build Chidao, build the Great Wall, and let them conquer Baiyue and resist the Xiongnu.
There is no young and middle-aged labor force, and only the old, young, women and children are left to cultivate the land and supply the entire Qin Dynasty.
Da Qin is too big.
Later, these young and middle-aged laborers continued to die, leaving only the old, young, women and children at home. How could a country continue without men?
Only those with many men have hope of life.
Only those with many males can continue to have children, sow the next generation for the Qin Dynasty, and let the next generation of children grow up in abundance.
This is why solitary yin does not grow and solitary yang does not grow.
Nowadays, people in the capital of Guizhou are living a stable life, and most of them can live a life of "wife and children on the hot bed". According to the household registration statistics of the Prime Minister's Office last year, the number of newly reported people has increased significantly.
In previous years, the newly reported population each year was about a hundred thousand, which is great, but last year it was nearly half a million.
It’s almost two or three times that of previous years.
And this situation is still showing a stage of rapid growth.
The clerks in the Prime Minister's Office even have some doubts. When the number of household registrations reported this year is counted next year, they will find that there are even more than this year, and it may even reach a million.
This is an extremely scary number.
You know, the total population of Da Qin today is only over 20 million. How many of these 20 million are women of childbearing age? How many young workers are there?
This is equivalent to almost one in every ten women of school age giving birth to a child.
Chen Ke smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of your policies and wise decisions that the leaders of Great Qin can live such a peaceful and happy life."
He said leisurely: "Now that the Qin Dynasty is flourishing, mentioning your Majesty in the history of history will be filled with endless praise."
"Your Majesty has no one before you, and no one will come after you."
This was the ultimate compliment, but Ying Zheng just smiled slightly after hearing it, with a proud look on his face.
"unprecedented?"
He laughed dumbly and declined: "This kind of praise is a bit inappropriate at this time. Let's leave it to Qingshi."
Ying Zheng pointed to the glass next to him and said, "Look at this thing. People at the institute can invent things. They can also invent things like artifacts."
Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders: "If I hadn't gone there, they would have thought it was a failure and needed to be destroyed."
He took the opportunity to "brainwash" Ying Zheng again: "Your Majesty, this is a conceptual issue. Although they now have the initiative to "invent", they have not learned to "think" yet. "
】
"We need them to learn to think about what people need. Are some failed products really failures? What can they be used for?"
"What needs do people have?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said, "If they can learn this thing, the Institute of Science will be the real leader."
Ying Zheng stroked the smooth mirror in front of him and simply said, "You have to teach them this."
"Where do I have the mental strength?"
He looked at Chen Ke with a little amusement on his face: "After all, I am just an old man who is about to give in."
Chen Ke breathed out in his chest at these words. He just rolled his eyes slightly, and then said as if he had thought of something: "Your Majesty, this object cannot be regarded as a sacred object."
"A real divine object is being studied at the institute."
There was light in his eyes.
In fact, he himself did not expect that the research institute could develop that thing so quickly. It was obvious that he just provided a simple idea.
Therefore, the wisdom of the ancients is really infinite. Sometimes, you really should not think that the ancients are useless.
A fetish?
Ying Zheng's body moved closer to Chen Ke, with curiosity on his face: "What divine object?"
"Talk to me?"
Chen Ke chuckled, and then said decisively: "Your Majesty, I cannot tell you."
"After all, you are just an "old man who is about to give in." How could you listen to such confidential matters? "
Hearing Chen Ke return his words intact, Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Ke: "You kid, you know how to tease me."
"But, since you said so, then I will wait and see when I can see this "surprise". "
...........
The surprise Chen Ke mentioned is being created in the suburbs of Xianyang City. This will be a real surprise, a surprise that transcends the times, a surprise that will make Daqin develop from jogging to running at a rapid pace.
Even the person who created him felt incredible at this time, as if he had seen a god.
This surprise had been years in the making, but it was only half-invented last year, when coal began to become more common.
.........
Zhongmu County is beautiful in all aspects, and Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi, who were wandering around Zhongmu County, felt the same way.
The two of them walked and laughed.
Such a beautiful Zhongmou also has a share of the credit of the two of them. No one can deny this. After all, the financial resources they invested in it can even turn a poor person into a wealthy businessman.
And they don't really ask for anything in return.
It's just that they ignored some short-term interests and some seemingly high interests, and instead pursued long-term interests and meager interests.
The benefits are modest, but substantial.
This is how they make money.
As time goes by, even if the Qin Dynasty dies, as long as the new dynasty wants the world to be stable, they must continue to use them.
Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi were not that smart for the time being and knew that they were the prototype of a "noble family". However, in the eyes of some later generations, there were six earliest families in the Qin Dynasty that could truly be called aristocratic families.
They are the so-called six aristocratic families.
Chen family, Shentu family, Zhai family, Wang family, Li family, Meng family.
Among them, only the Shentu and Zhai families achieved success in the name of merchants.
Of course, there are differences between these six aristocratic families and ordinary aristocratic families. They are all true "aristocratic families."
While being driven by self-interest, we also put the interests of our family and country first.
At any time, as long as the family and the country encounter difficulties, these aristocratic families will leave some money and one or two young adults to ensure the survival of the family members and the smooth continuation of the family, and then all the rest of the money and young adults will be invested. On the road to saving the country and the people.
From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the future, it has never stopped. There has never been a situation where generations have surrendered to protect themselves, regardless of the interests of the family and the country.
Shixiu's surrender has never happened to these six aristocratic families, so they are the six aristocratic families from the beginning to the end.
Zhai Xi looked at Shentu and said, "Brother Shentu, do you still say that I don't care about my interests this time?"
There was ridicule in his voice, and Shentu Xingwu also said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, what are you talking about, Brother Zhai? Why do I think you don't care about your interests?"
Shentu woke up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhai had the foresight. When they were all fighting for Xianyang City, he took his family and settled in Zhongmu County in advance. Now the most famous wealthy businessmen in Zhongmu County are you and me."
He said with emotion: "I just don't know if the county governor will agree to the establishment of the "Zhongmu County Merchants Association"? "
Zhai Xi walked forward and said with a smile: "Of course he will agree."
"Even if it wasn't for the amount of money we donated, he would agree."
"Because the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce will be of no harm to him. As long as the Chamber of Commerce is established, he will be able to mobilize merchants on a larger scale and more easily. He can't wait to do this."
"We seek fame, while he seeks profit and success."
"This is a good thing for us and a good thing for them."
Shen Tu woke up and smiled very happily. He looked at the crispy woods in the distance: "I never thought that our two merchants would still be famous in history."
"That's really a good thing."
"It's also a lucky thing!"
"I hope that day will come soon!"
...........
Outside Zhongmu County
The Zhongmu County Sheriff has already received Ying Zheng and others, and with a respectful look on his face, he led them around Zhongmu.
This is Ying Zheng's request.
When Ying Zheng looked at the lives of the leaders of Guizhou, the common people, and the people in the city around him, he felt happy and the world was stable. Isn't this what he wanted in the first place?
He turned his head, looked at Sheriff Zhongmu who was following him and said, "You did a good job."
The smile on Zhongmu County Sheriff's face, which had been praised by the First Emperor, could hardly be concealed. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of excitement and pride.
"Thanks to His Majesty's favor, I will honor your orders!"
...........
Xianyang
Li Si's health was almost recovered, so he decided to come to the Prime Minister's Office before his body collapsed, so that he could still handle some government affairs.
We can't let Fusu handle it alone, right?
When Li Si arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, he found that the Prime Minister's Office was not as messy as he thought. Instead, it had formed a very peaceful order.
Zuo Ge looked at the four people. Xiao He, Cao Shen, Yan Zhengchun, and Liu Chen each occupied a side and were dealing with government affairs. If there was any dispute, each of the four people would argue from one side.
A harmonious and stable political order, under the control of the uncrowned king Fusu, is perfectly covered.
The first update and the second update are probably a little over 7,000, at 9:30 pm.
