What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Chapter 314

Thinking of this, Chen Ke looked in the direction of Xianyang City in the distance.

He hasn't been back for almost a year.

But to Chen Ke, there is no difference. What is the difference between Xianyang City and Linzi County?

In other words, what is the difference between Tianya Haijiao and Xianyang City?

To him, everything seemed to be like this.

He has no worries in Xianyang City, but just stays in his yard every day, fishing and watching the scenery.

Sometimes I don't even want to move and sit in my own room without going out for a day.

The same is true in Penglaizhou.

At most, when he was in Penglai Island, he would often go out to take a look at the scenery outside and see the excitement outside.

It has been half a year since he came to Penglaizhou, and Penglaizhou has changed a lot in the past six months.

When Chen Ke first came here, the people of Penglaizhou were silent, and this place was also very desolate.

There was numbness in the calm.

Like a lake of stagnant water.

Today's Penglaizhou is like a pot of hot oil on the fire, with flowers blooming. Everyone has hope for the future and can see hope for the future.

This is a good thing.

The change of the mentality of the heads of Guizhou is always the most important thing.

If they have always been insensitive, how can you expect them to continue to develop Daqin?
Chen Ke walked out with her hands behind her back, humming a little tune.

Governor's Prison

Huo Zhen was sitting in prison, he did not receive any special hospitality because of his status, at most he was not tortured.

And this is what Chen Ke explained.

Next door to him lives a person he is very familiar with, and it is Fang Cong who was judged dead by Yinglun before.

At this time, Fang Cong had blood-red scars all over his body, and his robe was soaked in blood.

Fang's hair was disheveled, and his body was so dirty that it made people feel nauseous just by looking at it.

He kept his head down and just sat there without saying a word, not even moving while eating.

Huo Zhen didn't care about Fang Cong either. For him, Fang Cong was no longer his friend from the moment he slandered him.

Since we are not friends, why should we care?
Being a stranger is fine too.

Huo Zhen ate the food in his hands slowly, the food in the prison was not delicious, it could even be said to be unpalatable.

But in a place like this, having a bite to eat is already a big deal.

Fang Cong sat in a dark corner, not even the candles on the wall beside him could shine on him.

With messy hair scattered twice on his temples, he is like a dirty and sinister bug hiding in the dark.

He didn't understand why Huo Zhen didn't scold himself, ask himself, or insult himself.

He didn't understand even more why there was still light shining on Huo Zhen even after he had come to such a place.

The two brothers Huo Zhen and Huo Shi grew up with him since childhood.

It's just that their trajectories are very different. The two brothers of the Huo family are smart since childhood, and their parents praise them every day.

And what about him?
He was just a mouse in the gutter, even his father disliked why he didn't die of illness quickly.

Fang closed his eyes slightly.

Maybe my choice was wrong from the beginning?
He laughed at himself, then lowered his head, he wanted to wait until the dead of night, and then pick up the meal and eat two bites.

Only the dark and cold food can punish himself.

Manufacturing Department
The official office of the Manufacturing Department is near the previously designated State Governor's Mansion, where there are also vacancies for the Municipal Department of Materials and other government offices.

The First Salt Production Department of Daqin is not here. All the production items of this kind are in a suburb somewhere outside the city, and they are heavily guarded.

When Chen Ke walked into the official office of the Manufacturing Department, what he felt was a gust of hot wind.

This is the case here all year round, because the artisans here are always on the way to research new things.

Seeing that no one was conservative and doing nothing, Chen Ke's eyes flashed a look of admiration and satisfaction.

He invented something, not to keep these people old-fashioned and then not to study anything.

Chen Ke walked to one of the corners, and Lin Fang stood there, beating hard on the things in front of him, wiping his sweat from time to time.

Sweat dripped from his muscles, and his clothes were already soaked.

Chen Ke stood beside him, carefully looking at the fusion model in front of him, with curiosity in his eyes.

What is this building?
At this moment, Lin Fang sensed that there was someone behind him, and immediately turned his head. When he saw Chen Ke standing behind him, he immediately scratched his head and put down the hammer in his hand.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Chen Ke just took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which recorded two methods of forging copper coins and silver coins in detail.

Copper coins are simple and just need a little improvement.

Following the method given by Chen Ke, Lin Fang easily forged a mother coin of copper coin, but Chen Ke frowned slightly when looking at the mother coin.

He found a problem.

During the Qin Dynasty, copper was not used to forge coins, but copper.

Copper is very pure copper, and the copper content is about 90.00% or more.

These coppers should have other uses. At this time, they are used to forge copper coins, and they need to be forged on a large scale.
It is indeed a bit inappropriate.

It seems that before forging copper coins, one must first find chalcopyrite.
Chen Kesi sighed slightly at this point, feeling helpless slowly in her heart.

He pressed his forehead, looked at Lin Fang and said, "Don't forge copper coins, forge silver coins first."

"You just forge a mother coin first according to the ratio I gave you."

Lin Fang nodded immediately.

The flame melts the silver and turns it into liquid soft silver, and then forges the copper and silver according to the proportion.

Soon, silver coins forged according to one tael of silver and thirteen coins of copper came out.

Chen Ke picked up the silver coin and just broke it lightly, and actually broke the silver coin directly.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lin Fang and said, "Reduce the copper by two points and try again."

Without further ado, Lin Fang forged it according to Chen Ke's instructions, and soon, a brand new silver coin appeared in front of Chen Ke.

"bass--"

Chen Ke blew slightly on the silver coin, and a silver coin-specific sound echoed in the small space.

But when Chen Ke broke it hard again, he couldn't break the silver coin.

There are no patterns on the smooth silver coin, and the silvery white color reflects the appearance of this coin.

Lin Fang also said with emotion on his face: "Uncle Master, the appearance of this silver coin is the most beautiful coin I have ever seen."

"Will we all use this kind of currency in the future?"

Chen Ke shook his head slightly, nodded again and said, "Almost, but copper coins are probably used in daily life."

He turned his head and looked at Fusu, who was watching the coin forging together, and said: "Silver has not yet appeared, but the silver mines in Fusang and the silver mines in various places will be gradually discovered."

"This is an opportunity and a crisis for Daqin's economy."

"When we were experimenting in Penglaizhou, we must investigate the purchasing power of the "Qin Banliang" we are using today, as well as the prices of the items at this time. "

"Then when copper coins and silver coins are forged, Penglai's economy can be guaranteed to the greatest extent."

Fu Su also nodded slightly and said, "Actually, this disciple has an idea."

"If the new copper coins are forged according to the teacher's forging method, they are actually more expensive than Qin Banliang, but they are not many."

"If that's the case, why don't we make a distinction?"

"For example, imprinting unchangeable numbers, patterns, etc. on it, distinguishing copper coins from different prices."

"The value is "1", the value is "5", and the value is "10". "

There was a little brilliance in Fusu's eyes.

"Nowadays in Penglai Continent, three Qin Ban Liang can buy a Dou of millet, so according to this exchange, three Qin coins can buy a Dou of millet."

"This kind of exchange is the most in line with the status quo, and the leaders and merchants will not be confused because of this."

"At most, there is a small amount of discomfort, and when they get used to this amount, Penglai's economic system can be gradually established."

"After the silver coins are forged, they can be cast in the same way."

"How does the teacher feel?"

Chen Ke glanced at Fusu with a smile, and asked back, "Why do you feel that now is not the time to release silver coins?"

Fusu was not surprised, and said directly: "Teacher, most of the Guizhou heads of the Great Qin Dynasty buy food."

"The price of food must not be high."

"And the rest of the things have not yet formed a scale, even if the silver coins come out, it will be useless."

"Although we can forge silver coins now, we cannot send out silver coins. Otherwise, Daqin's economic system will soon break through the embankment like a flood."

"The silver coins can only be released when the lives of the heads of Guizhou are better, and we have money in our hands, and we have some special things to sell."

Fusu's eyes seemed to be a little empty, as if he saw things many years later.

"Maybe three years, maybe five years."

"After the various manufacturing agencies in Daqin have appeared, the silver coins can start to be released."

"According to my thinking, copper coins may be largely replaced in the end, because as people live and have more money in their hands, the prices of food and other things will gradually increase."

"Now there are three Qin copper coins and one bucket of millet. In the future, there may be five Qin copper coins and ten Qin copper coins."

Chen Ke looked at Fusu with interest and said, "Then when do you think the price of grain can rise to five or even ten Qin copper coins?"

Fusu did not hesitate at all: "If a bucket of millet is exchanged for Qianshou to eat, it can roughly be used as a two-day ration for a person, and about eighteen shi of grain is needed for a year."

"If there are five Qin copper coins for a bucket of millet, it will cost nine hundred Qin copper coins in a year."

"If according to my original idea, one hundred Qin copper coins are equal to one Qin silver coin, the price of grain can rise to five Qin copper coins only when the heads of Guizhou can have [-] silver coins every year."

"When the heads of Guizhou can have 180 silver coins every year, the price of grain can only rise to ten copper coins."

"Only in this way can we maintain the most basic living conditions and prevent the people from starving to death."

Chen Ke looked at Fusu and said, "Then do you know how much silver is needed to forge a silver coin?"

Fusu didn't hesitate at all: "If you follow the teacher's forging method, one tael of silver should be able to forge ten silver coins."

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "What you just said is quite right. The price of things like food is the most important thing. It cannot rise easily, nor can it fall easily."

"So, do you now understand why I want to establish the Municipal Property Department?"

Fusu stood there, as if struck by lightning.

In an instant, he understood the teacher's plan.

The price of food is actually not easy to control, because most of the time now we still eat according to the weather.

If there is a famine year, the price of food will definitely rise.

And now.
However, the price of these grains can be adjusted through the Municipal Department of Materials.

Thereby play a role in regulating the economic situation.

This is the role of the establishment of the Municipal Property Department. Did the teacher actually arrange it here from the very beginning?
Fusu said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "Teacher is worthy of being a teacher."

"I was able to think of so much at such an early age."

Chen Ke just smiled, then pointed to the silver coin not far away and said: "One tael of silver is mixed with copper of eleven renminbi, the silver coin forged is the most suitable."

"It is very hard and shiny, it looks like pure silver."

"We naturally ignore copper, that is to say, in fact, one tael of silver can at least be converted into one stone of grain."

"This price must be maintained, and there cannot be any drastic fluctuations."

"Because this is the key to ensuring that the leaders of Guizhou can have enough food."

Chen Ke pointed to his feet and said, "Only if these people are honest, can you sit securely in the chair under your feet."

"After all, you are not His Majesty the First Emperor."

"The majesty and power of His Majesty the First Emperor are enough to suppress all the people in this world, so that they dare not rebel."

"Even Xiang Yu, who calls himself the Overlord of Western Chu, only dared to rebel in silence and sacrificed countless times when he was forced by His Majesty to rebel."

"The king is the boat, the people are the water."

"As for the ministers, families, and powerful people in this world, they are just pawns that you can discard at any time."

Chen Ke looked at Fusu with solemn eyes.

"You can never rely on or even support those ministers, tycoons, and families."

"No matter whose family it is, no matter which minister it is, you can't support them, you must support the crowd under your feet."

"They are here, and your country is here."

"The ministers are dead, and there will be countless people who want to become officials."

"You don't have to be too kind to this group of people. Those who find out about corruption, those who exploit ordinary people, those who are domineering for their own power, and those who are acting."

"You just have to do one thing well."

Chen Ke's voice was indifferent and slightly murderous.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"
