Left or right prime minister?

Ying Zheng was dumb, then pointed to Fu Su and said, "If you weren't right in front of me, I almost thought it was you, Gao Mi, who made Chen Ke hurry up to find me."

Fusu looked calm, but the clothes behind him were already wet with sweat.

"What the father said, how could my son do such a thing?"

Today, Fu Su really felt what it means to be with a king like a tiger. Maybe a person he liked very much in the past can be suspicious in the blink of an eye, and then questioned casually.

And the next moment, Fusu felt another skill that he had to learn as an emperor.

When footsteps sounded outside the main hall, Ying Zheng already had a smile on his face. He looked towards the door, as if nothing happened just now.

With the entry of Chen Ke and Li Si, the cold aura on Ying Zheng's body gradually dissipated.

He was as calm as usual: "You two still know to come here?"

"I thought that if the two of you were together, you would have forgotten me."

Li Si was sitting upright, with a look of sincerity and fear: "Why did your Majesty say that? Did you kill me?"

Chen Ke looked very calm, and even had time to adjust his sitting posture: "Oh, what Your Majesty said, I am really terrified."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I think about it day and night, burn the ointment and continue the sundial. Before, it was hard to push the flames and make people in the world discuss the matter of new coins. Now this matter is about to start. This is the reason why I came to look for Your Majesty. Live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Although Chen Ke didn't know what made Brother Zheng feel a little dissatisfied with him, but at this moment, he apologized first and then explained the reason.

Of course, we must also grasp the scale.

Li Si belonged to a veteran, so of course he could admit his mistake with a straight face, and then fooled around with "Did Your Majesty kill me?"

But he was different, if he did this, Brother Zheng might really want to "kill him".

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Do you want to live up to my trust? Burn the ointment and inherit the sundial?"

He hummed and said: "I just heard that you ate some novel food at home last night. The fragrance was wafting for thirty miles, and even the black ice platform guarded outside your house could smell it."

"Not just yesterday, but the day before yesterday, the day before, and the day before yesterday, you were eating some novelty food at night, but you didn't send it to the palace! There was none in the palace!"

There was indignation in Ying Zheng's voice, as if he was very angry about this matter.

And Chen Ke's eyes twitched slightly, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't think of this possibility.
When Yingzheng questioned him just now, Chen Ke thought that Shi Huangdi's skepticism as an emperor had finally come online, and he wanted to suppress, check and balance, and even coerce and lure him.

Who would have imagined that His Majesty the First Emperor would be angry because he did not send a portion of the novelty food he cooked up in the middle of the night to the palace?
Chen Ke even saw brother Zheng's Adam's apple slipping, as if swallowing saliva.

And when he swallowed his saliva, it was the time when Ying Zheng talked about the delicacies of the past few days.

At this moment Chen Ke understood, but at the same time she felt a little helpless.

Fusu on the side also had a look of surprise, which disappeared in an instant. He looked at his father's back and raised his forehead slightly.

Just now he was still lamenting for the teacher, lamenting that his father's trust came and went quickly, who would have thought that he would be able to see such a scene now?
Fu Su sighed slightly and said: "Father, if you want to eat the novelty food that Teacher has, just say no, I will definitely go to the Teacher's mansion to fight for the "Chen Mansion" for Royal Father, and "capture" all kinds of novel food prescription."

This was said with a bit of ridicule, but when it fell into the ears of Li Si and Chen Ke, something was wrong immediately.

Fusu's sentence "It's fine to just say no", it shows that something "not to say straight" has happened.

whats the matter?
What happened before you came here?

But these are not things to worry about now. Chen Ke just stood in front of Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "Why do you need His Royal Highness to go to fight in person? I just surrender without fighting."

"Send Fang Zi to the palace later."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng laughed out loud. He patted Chen Ke on the shoulder, and said meaningfully, "It's alright, alright, I'm still a kid."

"To be honest, I have been greedy for your food for a long time."

"In the future, if you research any novel things, you will send a copy to the palace, remember?"

Chen Ke nodded quickly: "I remember, I remember."

The key point of Ying Zheng's explanation is not "food", but "any" novelty that he researches in the future, and "all" will send a copy to the palace.

Fusu also said with a smile: "The teacher will definitely remember, if you don't remember, the minister will remind you."

Ying Zheng was now smiling. He sat there, looked at Li Si and Chen Ke and said, "Since the two of you are here today, does it mean that the matter of the new currency has been implemented?"

Chen Ke nodded immediately, exchanged a glance with Li Si, and decided to disrupt the previous plan when he came here.

This new currency policy was proposed by Li Si.

Li Si groaned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the new currency policy should be sooner rather than later. Now that the whole of Daqin is waiting, then it must be smashed down like a thunderbolt, so that everyone Accepted instantly."

"Nowadays, most of the 33 counties in Daqin are under the control of the county guards, and the county guards in various places come out of the Baijia Palace, and the general judgments in various places are also in operation."

"The Great Qin Dynasty has been revived, just like a newborn sprout."

"The letter from Qin Nudao has already arrived in Xianyang City. According to the letter, they will be able to arrive in Xianyang City by the [-]th of this month at the latest. In this way, the last Gu Lue has also disappeared."

"This time, tens of thousands of miners died in Qinnu Island, and the collected silver and copper amounted to nearly one million catties. When this batch of silver arrived in Xianyang City, there would be a large supply of both copper and silver coins. There is no need to worry about malicious mischief and hoarding of currency for personal gain.”

Li Si's voice was venomous: "The formulas we forge copper and silver coins are almost revised, so it can be seen at a glance, and if we want to achieve the luster and hardness of the imperial forging, it will cost more silver coins than Qin coins. Much more."

"So people with bad intentions can't imitate it."

"Most of the heads of Guizhou now have surplus food in their hands, and their lives are already heading for a better life. There are almost no stories of Yizi eating and famine in the world of Qin Dynasty."

As Li Si said, he took a step forward, then bent down and bowed to the end.

"Your Excellency, please open new coins!"

At this moment, Chen Ke also took a step forward, sitting up straight, like a tall and straight pine tree.

"Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo Chen Ke seconded the proposal."

Fusu also sat upright, with a dignified and joyful expression: "Since ancient times, only when the emperor is a sage and a wise emperor can the head of Guizhou be healthy and the world submit."

"Now, the father is able to make the people in the mountains and rivers safe and healthy, and eat well. This achievement is beyond heaven."

"I ask your majesty to issue new coins, in the name of your majesty!"

Ying Zheng looked at the three people kneeling and sitting under the stage. No matter which of these three people they were, they were all people he trusted.

He raised his hand slightly, and his voice was equally heavy and solemn: "Yun."

Chen Ke and the other three were overjoyed, they got up quickly, and then bowed again: "Mr., thank you, Your Majesty, for your enlightenment."

Ying Zheng's voice was faint, but his excitement could be seen in his eyes: "I have already seen the order to pass on the order, when the world is safe, but I have never seen the wealth of the people in the world."

"The Great Qin Banliang, as a coin issued in the early days of the empire, is no longer applicable to the current situation."

"That's why, I ordered the prime minister to forge new coins, such as the right prime minister Li Si, the left prime minister Chen Ke, the manufacturing department Chen Ping, and a group of craftsmen. If today's auspicious auspiciousness comes, the new coins will be Qin coins."

"After this day, the original half and two coins will no longer be used, and copper coins and silver coins will be used for measurement."

"Abolish the use of cloth and gold. Before the law is promulgated, cloth can still be circulated. When the law arrives, cloth and gold will no longer be circulated."

At this time, Chen Ke took a step forward, with a bit of dignity in his voice.

He knew that the forging of new coins would have an impact on the ordinary head of the Qin Dynasty, so he had already prepared countermeasures.

"Report to Your Majesty, I request Your Majesty to set up "exchange points" in each county."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke, and the smile on his brows never faded: "You want Qianshou to exchange the half tael in his hand into Qin coins? It's only natural at this time, and it's naturally possible."

Chen Ke lowered his head, with a little embarrassment in his voice: "Your Majesty, what I want is not just half a tael, but gold, cloth, etc."

He pondered and said: "Nowadays, whether it is copper coins or silver coins, there are more stored in the treasury, so there is no need to worry about things that cannot be exchanged."

"What I think is that cloth can be traded in the past, but now it is not allowed. What if some people have some cloth in their homes?"

"Cloth was also commonly used in the past, and it was more stable than other currencies, so some common people's homes may have some reserves."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and asked, "What if some wealthy people hoard a lot of money for this reason?"

Chen Ke said unhurriedly: "This matter is simpler."

"The cloth can be exchanged for new currency, which is His Majesty's grace, so there is naturally a number."

"There is a limit to the amount that can be exchanged by a household, so let five be the limit. If there are more than five horses, I'm afraid it's not the family of the commoner Qianshou, but the family of the little rich."

"After all, after half taels are in circulation, most transactions still use half taels."

Chen Ke chuckled: "Isn't the time limit for the identity certificate issued two years ago and changed over time?"

The first batch of ID cards were issued three years ago. At that time, the technology was not yet clear, so the period imprinted on them was three years, and it should expire now.

"Your Majesty can order people all over the world to go to the government office to exchange old currency for new currency, cloth for new currency, and gold for new currency, with their ID cards. On the one hand, they can prove that they belong to a family, and on the other hand, they can exchange for new coins. personal I.D."

"So, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
