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

People knelt down on the grassland, looked at the sky in the distance, and shouted in their mouths: "Longevity is above, Changshengtian is above!"

Mao Dun got off his horse and knelt down at the very front, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, with a bit of solemnity, pride and pride in his expression: "Changshengtian will come again."

"We will cherish the new grass you have given us."

"This time, no one will be able to snatch the new grassland from us. We will live and die with the new grassland."

It is impossible for the Xiongnu to retreat again and again. From Mao Dun's point of view, retreating to the west is already his last bottom line.

Only when the words are spoken to the end and the bottom line is made clear, people who have retreated to the West now will know that they have no way out.

These are the people who rule the Changsheng world in the name of Changshengtian.

While the people of the Huns looked at the sky high above, their voices were steady and firm.

They also shouted: "Go to the Longevity Heaven!"

"We will surely live and die with the new grassland!"

Endless shouts echoed in this piece of grassland, the new grassland is very gentle, and a river flows slowly in the distance, leading to the distance.

A gentle river cannot speak, but beyond the river lies a mighty empire.

That powerful empire can speak, and the weapons in their hands can speak more than their mouths.

After saluting respectfully, Mo Dun raised his head and looked in the direction of the distance. He seemed to see the country standing on the distant land through the endless void, a barbarian country.

Not long after the new Xiongnu Empire was established, the test they were about to face was already approaching.

On the endless seashore, a magnificent and great empire stands here.

Their leader stood by the sea, looking out over his own territory.

The land and country here are not peaceful, as the Roman Empire has its own enemies, such as the Carthage that also stands here, and the civilized Greek country.

Rome is not without enemies, but in the eyes of Publius, he does not feel that the too loose Greece will be his enemy, and will hinder his progress.

He turned his head, with a little determination in his expression.

"Whether the Presbyterians agree or not, we must start a war against Carthage, because we must judge Hannibal, otherwise we cannot make the rest surrender."

"The fields and wealth in the hands of Rome have never been obtained through commerce like Greece."

"War is inevitable, we must move on."

Publius' eyes shone like a lion's anger, and his voice was as heavy as thunder, with a little thunder in it.

The people around listened to Publius' voice, and the expressions on their faces were also cautious.

There are only a few people with worry in their eyes, can the elders' house stop this general?

Maybe still can.

Daqin, Xianyang City
Sitting in the prime minister's office, Li Si was thinking and revising the problems that appeared in Chen Ke's documents.

He did not modify Chen Ke's overall plan, because he also felt that this plan was good. As long as this plan continued, Daqin would definitely be able to conquer the distant Baiyue and obtain all the land there.

But in some details, Li Si felt that Chen Ke did not do well enough.

Li Si had already discovered two years ago that Chen Ke was in control of some overall situation just right, and often the things he proposed were brand new, which could improve the current difficulties encountered or even solve problems.

But Chen Ke is not good at details, so most of the time it is Li Si who is silently tinkering.

While writing, Li Si laughed self-deprecatingly: "When in my life have I ever been wronged like this, and I want to make up for others?"

He curled his lips, although his face was full of reluctance and complaints, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he was still patching Chen Ke's plan.

one hour, two hours,

After two and a half hours passed, Li Si stopped his pen to revise and add plans, rubbed his eyes, and hammered his waist, feeling a little uncomfortable all over.

"Forget it, forget it, don't do it."

"Go and find Chen Ke kid for a meal."

Li Si smiled: "We have to take advantage of the time to teach some Chen Ke, so that he can modify these things himself."

"How many more years can the old man be his tinkerer?"

There was a little helplessness in the voice.

In the prime minister's office, after Li Si left, Cao Shen looked at the official documents on the table, feeling a little helpless, and in the end he could only pick them up and put them aside. He didn't know whether they were intentional or unintentional.

"Why has the prime minister's memory deteriorated recently?"

"Every time there are some official documents and government affairs left without processing."

Cao Shen pressed his forehead, feeling that his workload was increasing day by day, and now he was doing the work of two or even three people by himself.

Xianyang City, surrounding states and counties.

Chen Ke asked the people from the Black Ice Terrace to spread the news about the new currency, not only in Xianyang City, but also in all parts of the country.

The first to radiate must be the places around Xianyang City.

With the deliberate cooperation of the local sheriff, the news of the new coins spread widely, and in a place far away from Xianyang City, the situation Chen Ke wanted to see finally appeared.

Some people began to think about how the circulation of new coins would affect them.

Among them, the ones who think the most are some merchants.

Sanchuan County

There are not many merchants in the land of Sanchuan, but there are many nobles who have been handed down.

After the Fan family headed by Fan Muye left, the most famous family here became a family surnamed Zhu.

In the past years, after Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue to recover the Kingdom of Yue, he saw at a glance that Goujian, the King of Yue at that time, was a king who could endure hardships together, but could not enjoy pleasure together. ; The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks" situation.

Later, Fan Li lived in seclusion among the people and did business, and later generations called him Tao Zhugong.

After the news spread, the people of Yue State went to look for the descendants of Tao Zhugong several times, trying to persuade them to continue to serve the king of Yue State, and promised that the king of Yue State would treat them well and would never be like himself. like their ancestors.

Tao Zhugong's descendants were overwhelmed by the disturbance, and obeyed the order left by their ancestors, and no longer got involved in this secular battle.

However, no matter what kind of family it is, it is impossible to be unified inside. At that time, facing the situation where the descendants of King Yue were recruited, Tao Zhugong's descendants were divided into two parts.

Some of them are concerned about fame and fortune, and want to follow the descendants of the King of Yue to re-establish the Yue Kingdom, and then they will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

Some people look down on fame and fortune, stick to the ancestral precepts left by their ancestors, and do not get involved in the battle of emperors.

Therefore, Tao Zhugong's descendants were divided into three parts, one part still had the surname "Fan", and followed the descendants of King Goujian of Yue to seek restoration of the country.

The remaining people were divided into two groups and changed their surnames to "Zhu" and "Tao" respectively.

The "Fan" surname inherited the art of war written by Fan Li at the beginning, and the two lines of Zhu and Tao respectively inherited Tao Zhugong's business strategy and part of his family property.

These three parts go to different places respectively.

Among them, the branch surnamed Zhu came to Sanchuan County, settled in Sanchuan County, and has continued to this day. Even some people surnamed Zhu here no longer remember the glory of their ancestors.

Zhu Family Courtyard

In the long courtyard, Zhu Penglai looked solemnly at the elders sitting beside him, sighed and said, "Everyone, you should also know that although we have forced the Fan family away, our days have not changed." How much better."

"Nowadays, there are rumors all over the world. It is said that the first emperor wants to abolish Qin Banliang and forge new coins to show the majesty of the empire."

"How shall we be?"

"Fully cooperate? Or say."

Zhu Penglai didn't finish his words, he just looked at the person sitting in front of him and sighed softly.

And the expressions of a group of elders are also a little dignified and helpless: "New currency? How long can the new currency be used for? How does the new currency look like?"

"Qin Banliang has only been in use for less than three years now. His Majesty the First Emperor is already going to replace the coins with new ones. Will you continue to replace them in the future?"

An old man sitting on the far left slowly opened his eyes, eyes full of exhaustion: "We all know that we have no ability to compete with the imperial court, so all we can do is choose between more support and less support."

A sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Now we are at the end of the road, why not give it a try?"

"That kid Fan Muye made a gamble and went to Penglai to find Prime Minister Chen Ke. It turned out that he made the right move. Today's Chen family is considered a famous family in Penglai."

"Fan Muye even served as the director of the publishing department."

"This position is only one or two levels lower than the county guard, and one level lower than the county magistrate."

There was a faint light in the old man's eyes: "What if we fully support His Majesty? Your Majesty doesn't care about our support, but if we are the first to support His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely reward us."

"Even if it's just rewarding some ordinary things, with this incident as a backing, we can continue to develop steadily without worrying about what Sanchuan County Governor will do to us."

Zhu Penglai also nodded slightly: "That's exactly what I thought, but I don't know what you think, so I came to you and want to hear what you think."

Everyone looked at each other and echoed what the old man said before.

This seems to be the best and only way.

Zhu Penglai nodded immediately: "In that case, I will order the people below to prepare."

"If you don't do it, it's enough. Once you do it, you must let His Majesty have an impression of us, and you must do your best."

"In the past, His Majesty was able to build the Huaiqing Terrace for Widow Qing to show his importance to merchants. Why can't he reuse the Zhu family now?"

"It should be noted that the Zhu family is also a family of merchants in the past, and even the descendants of Duke Tao Zhu."

Chen Fu
When Li Si came to the Chen Mansion, he was a little surprised to see the people in the courtyard.

Because Wang Jian is already there.

Wang Jian lay unsteadily in the rocking chair under the tree, feeling very uncomfortable, but Chen Ke's voice was not heard in the courtyard.

Li Si asked curiously: "Old General Wang, where is that kid Chen Ke?"

Wang Jian opened his closed eyes slightly, looked at Li Si standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "So it's Prime Minister Zuo, I thought who was looking for Boy Chen."

He pointed to the reclining chair beside him and said, "Sit down, boy Chen is going to watch the cooking himself."

Wang Jian yawned: "The official Zhisu sent a batch of new spices. They said that they were the varieties planted in Daqin after research by the farmers. You don't have to worry about running out of spices in the future."

"Now we can only supply a small amount of spices because this batch of spices has not yet fully matured. After the gradual promotion, perhaps one day the spices will be widely used, so that the poor can afford it."

Li Si was also polite, and lay down in the reclining chair with a relaxed expression.

"No matter how high the yield is, it is impossible for spices to become something that everyone can use in a short period of time - it takes time to grow and promote something."

"Even if His Majesty gives a strong order to promote planting, the growth of spices will take time."

He shook the recliner under him, and the recliner creaked.

"Squeak-"

"But what—"

Li Si said with emotion: "Boy Chen and Feng Jie have indeed done good deeds, especially Feng Jie, who was able to bring back spice seeds from the Western Regions, which saved Daqin from being stuck with spices in the Western Regions and cut his throat."

"If you don't rely on these things, then the Western Regions will have no restrictions on Daqin."

He yawned and said, "Yawn—"

"When will Boy Chen be ready? Did you tell me what to eat tonight?"

He touched his stomach: "The old man is already a little hungry."

As he spoke, Li Si seemed to have remembered something, pulled out a document from his sleeve, and handed it to Wang Jian beside him.

"Take a look, old general. This is the plan for attacking Baiyue formulated by Chen Ke."

"The attack on Baiyue mentioned in the book is actually more like attacking the land of Dongyue, taking all the coastal parts into the bag, and then using this as a basis to swallow up the world."

"How do you feel?"

Wang Jian smacked his lips and carefully looked at the document in his hand: "I think it's quite good, but I just let Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo go. I'm afraid I won't be able to take them down, so it's better to let the old man go."

He looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance: "After all, I am familiar with such things as destroying a country."

Hearing Wang Jian's somewhat proud words, Li Si couldn't help laughing for a while.

He looked at Wang Jian's eyes and immediately explained: "Old General, if you want to attack Baiyue, you can just say so. Why use Zhao Tuo and General Zhang Han as an excuse?"

"Your Majesty shouldn't obstruct your going to Baiyue, right?"

Wang Jian shook his head, and when he was about to say something, a strange fragrance came from afar.

Then there was another voice.

"time to eat!"
