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

What Lin Fang and others said was a suggestion about "currency" that Chen Ke just put forward.

Originally, Lin Fang and many other craftsmen considered the coins to be imprinted with a few words, or nothing at all.

And Chen Ke suggested that the portrait of Emperor Shihuang be imprinted on the back of the currency, and the front is a symbol of imprinting the mountains and rivers of the world.

Today's coins have three denominations, one, five, and ten.

This is true for silver coins and copper coins.

One silver coin is equal to ten copper coins, and in the imagination, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins. This is the initial application of the decimal system.

Chen Ke suggested that three classic images of "Hangu Pass", "Xianyang City" and "Mount Tai" be imprinted on the front of the silver coins of one, five, ten and three respectively.

On the front of the one, five, ten, and three copper coins, there are branded Dahe, Dajiang, and the symbolic "Wolf Juxu Mountain".

On the back, there are all portraits of Ying Zheng branded on them.

Li Si looked at Chen Ke with emotion on his face. He felt that this kid Chen Ke had really mastered the kung fu of flattering.

Unexpectedly, at this time, under such circumstances, he could even think of flattering quietly.

"Chen Ke, your idea is very good, but can the current craftsman technology achieve this?"

Li Si's worries were not reasonable.

Three or four years ago, when he originally forged Qin Banliang, he actually wanted more exquisite forging techniques and coins, but the facts told him that it was not possible.

Although Qin Banliang's bronze coins were usable and had reached the peak of technology at that time, they were still a bit rough in Li Si's eyes.

This is why although the use of Qin Banliang has become popular now, people still seem to be using "baht money" more.

Chen Ke looked at Lin Fang beside him with questioning eyes.

After a short thought, Lin Fang replied directly: "His Royal Highness, Master Uncle, and Prime Minister Li, if it is just some simple impressions of mountains and rivers and a portrait of His Majesty, it should be possible to do it."

Pointing to the mold in the distance, he said: "Actually, we started preparations two years ago. At that time, the uncle was already explaining this matter to us."

"The matter of currency is a big matter. If we are not fully prepared, we would not dare to talk to the uncle."

Lin Fang spoke with pride on his face.

This is indeed something to be proud of.

He picked up a certain coin on the mold and said: "Everyone, please look, this is a sample mold coin that was forged before, in order to observe the forming condition of the coin."

Li Si and others looked at the currency curiously, and even Chen Ke, who had seen it before, looked at it with a little interest.

I saw the copper coin in Lin Fang's palm, and the corresponding one was a silver coin.

The light of the silver coin shows off its beauty under the sunlight, and there is only a simple "Qin number" 1 on it.

It symbolizes that this is a silver coin.

Fusu stretched out his hand, took the coin in his hand, and kept playing with it. The top of the silver coin was shiny and bright, looking like an extremely precious transaction.

He took the silver coin and broke it to both sides vigorously, trying to break the silver coin, but in the end he couldn't really do it.

Chen Ke glanced at Lin Fang, and Lin Fang continued to introduce: "My lords, this silver coin is based on the formula of my uncle, and then I improved it and added some metals into it."

"The formula of the whole coin is very difficult to find, and it is even more precious."

He patted his chest and said: "It is impossible for counterfeit coins to appear on the market, unless they can find our coinage method and formula for coinage."

Lin Fang blinked his eyes, and said with a little show off: "But this is impossible, because some materials for forging coins are all controlled by the imperial court."

"And our formula is very difficult to figure out, and it was even made by a craftsman accidentally."

He pointed to the silver coin and said, "What's more, our forging technology is beyond this era."

"I can conclude that within 30 years, unless the imperial court takes the initiative to publicize this technology of forging silver coins, it is impossible for everyone in the rest of the world to come up with similar technology."

"Because, this is the technology created by the combination of the Mohist mechanism technique and the public loser mechanism technique, plus some techniques provided by my uncle."

Speaking of this, Lin Fang was a little embarrassed: "When this technology and silver coins appeared, we have already reported to His Majesty."

"This is a very precious technology. After seeing it, His Majesty has designated it as a top secret. Except for His Majesty, no one else can ask or touch these things."

Li Si didn't say anything, just waved his hands and said with a smile: "That's all right, all right, don't need to explain this to us, look at which one here doesn't know?"

He carefully looked at the silver coin in Lin Fang's hand: "But this silver coin is really wonderful."

"If you can do it, why don't you tell His Majesty for now?"

Fu Su and Chen Ke looked at each other with teasing smiles on their faces, and they were also planning to surprise Ying Zheng.

Immediately they all said: "Let's not tell His Majesty for now. After the mother coin comes out, I will report it to Your Majesty. By the way, it will also be a surprise for Your Majesty, right?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Baiyue Frontier
Miasma is rampant here, people who have lived here for hundreds of years don't like to come out, and people from the Central Plains don't want to come here either.

Even the people in Chudi were dissatisfied with the barbarians in Baiyue.

During the many years when Chu State existed, there were hundreds of wars between Chu State and Baiyue, and the grievances between Baiyue and the land of the Central Plains were very deep.

Baiyue is said to be Baiyue, but it is actually the collective name of several tribes.

He includes Wuyue, Yangyue, Dongou, Minyue, Nanyue, Xiou, Luoyue and many other branches of the Yue nationality.

These different, large and small tribes are in the coastal area, relying on the dense miasma in the coastal area and the complex mountain forest environment to resist the intrusion from the Central Plains.

Chu land
The army led by Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han set off from Xianyang City and had already arrived in Chu, but so far, they are still stationed in Chu.

The supply of food and grass has already formed a chain, so they don't have to worry about it.

It's just that Zhao Tuo looked at the mountains in the distance and still sighed heavily. When he was in Xianyang, he thought that Daqin's war against Baiyue was just an easy war, and he could easily capture it.

But he didn't understand until he came to this land of Chu and saw the thick miasma in Baiyue with his own eyes, and even some soldiers were not acclimatized.

It seems to be broken at a touch, but it is actually a natural moat.

"wait."

He turned his head and said to Zhang Han beside him like this: "At this time, we can only wait and wait for the order from the central court."

"Let's see what your majesty and the princes of the court can do."

Zhang Han nodded slightly, his strong self-confidence dissipated when he reached the edge of Chu land.

More than a dozen soldiers sacrificed their lives to let these two powerful and confident generals know that miasma, a natural barrier, cannot be easily resolved.

Miasma entering the body is the most unsolvable thing.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the most powerful soldiers of Great Qin cannot exert their strongest strength in mountains, hills, or even jungles.

They are restricted.

Because they have never fought in such an environment, but the Baiyue people are different. They live here, and fighting here is like fighting in their own home.

One ebbs and another, the soldiers of Daqin are naturally not their opponents.

This is also a problem.

Penglaizhou

After a meeting two days ago, several high-ranking officials in Penglaizhou discussed Penglai's future plans. Of course, the appointment of the director of the "Publishing Department" still had to be reported to Xianyang.

They can only provide a reference list.

After all, the appointment of a "director" at the state level is actually not something that can be resolved within the state. In other words, in this era, the appointment of any official cannot be decided by local people.

Most of the personnel appointment rights come from the central court, or from the emperor.

Because in the current Daqin, there has not yet appeared the "Official Department", which was later passed down to be the "No. [-] Yamen in the World", so naturally no one can control this power.

Today's Chen Ke doesn't intend to let the officials appear.

Because of the emergence of the Ministry of Officials, the appointment and assessment power of some local powers will be distributed to a certain department.

This is not good for Daqin's future.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Officials can still exist, and even become a department to assess whether an official can meet the standards, he absolutely cannot grasp the right to appoint officials at will.

In Chen Ke's view, even if it is really necessary to decentralize the appointment rights of some local officials, it cannot be delegated to the Ministry of Officials, but to the higher-level departments.

For example, appointments at the county level only need to be reported to the central government.

Appointments at the county level can be discussed by senior officials at the "county" level, or at least all officials at the "county" level can be selected after discussion.

As for the candidates above the county level, they must go through the continuous consent of the state and the central government, and they cannot directly select a person like the county.

There must be five or more candidates.

The appointment of officials at the state level must be appointed by the court, and even the state does not even have the right to nominate.

Such a power structure and personnel composition are also a basic composition in future generations.

Facts have proved that although this has disadvantages, it is still the best choice, at least the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Huo Shi looked at the memorial in front of him, with a little sigh in his eyes.

Although he didn't doubt Guan Zhuo's loyalty, but this time, for some reason, Guan Zhuo chose "Fan Muye" as the candidate recommended by the director of the "Publishing Department".

He frowned slightly. This person himself was left behind by Chen Ke. Could it be the teacher's intention?
Huo Shi was a little anxious because he couldn't tell whether Fan Muye became the director of the publishing department on purpose, or whether it was pushed by someone else.

He couldn't even write a letter to inquire, so he could only make his own judgment.

Also, he doesn't have much time.

This made Huo Shi very upset,

Of course, at the same time as applying for the post of Director of the Publishing Department, because Chen Ke had already served as prime minister and had resigned from the post of governor of "Penglaizhou", they also asked the imperial court to send a new "governor".

Huo Shi didn't have any opinion on this.

No matter whether the imperial court makes him the governor of Penglaizhou or not, he will continue to serve Penglai and Daqin.

After all, he is the sheriff of "Linzi County".

As the state capital of Penglaizhou, Linzi County is the core of the entire Penglaizhou, so his status is actually the same as that of Penglaizhou's state-level administration.

All must participate in the Penglaizhou meeting to make decisions.

After finishing writing the memorial, Huo Shicai pressed his tired body.

During these days as the interim governor, he has fully experienced the cumbersome affairs of Penglaizhou. Originally, the affairs of the governor of Linzi County were less than one-tenth of the affairs of the governor of Penglaizhou.

"The teacher is really amazing"

"It can be so easy, it even looks very easy."

"When will I be able to act like a teacher?"

Prime Minister's Office

There are more and more affairs recently, and even Li Si feels a little tired, let alone Chen Ke.

At this moment, Chen Ke was so tired that he didn't even want to move.

But Li Si squinted at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, basically the things accumulated a few years ago are almost done, and the next step is the agricultural affairs of the whole country."

He sighed: "Last year and the year before last, we promoted new farm tools and the "Municipality Department" all over the country, and now there are more than 30 counties in the country, almost all of which have sufficient reserves of farm tools. "

"Last year, the Municipal Food and Beverage Administration also played a huge role, almost doubling Daqin's grain harvest."

"Is this year still following last year's template?"

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "You can still follow last year's template, but you need to adjust the data again based on this year's harvest."

He also sighed and pressed his brows: "There is something wrong with the harvest in the south. Chudi has always been a place that produces a lot of grain. How could it be so little?"

Chen Ke sneered: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Chudi."

With a strange smile on his face, Li Si looked at Chen Ke and said, "If something goes wrong in a certain place or county, it's not a big deal."

"I'm afraid that there will be problems in the entire county, or even in the entire Chu area."

There is a deep meaning in these words, and even Chen Ke has to pay attention to some of the possibilities that arise.

"There must be no problems in Chu. After all, His Majesty wants to attack Baiyue now. Chu is very close to Baiyue. It can be used as a main road or even a base for troops."

Chen Ke's voice was cold: "The land of Baiyue is full of miasma. If we want to win the victory with the least casualties, then the land of Chu must be completely safe."

His fingers tapped on the table, making a dull sound.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Then, before attacking Baiyue, let's plow the land of Chu first."

"Since some people want to seek death, we naturally want to fulfill them."

"Is not it?"
