The Xiang family rebelled in advance this time, and it can be said that they were not occupied by the right time, place and people. Although they successfully captured five counties, they were extinguished in an instant.

Those who supported the Xiang family's uprising were all the nobles and rangers in Chu. Even the local tyrants were still hesitating and watching and did not follow the trend. There were indeed many bandits who responded to the uprising, but the scale was very small. Dozens and hundreds of people were suppressed by the local police lieutenant before they could gather.

When the court ordered the troops to send troops, Chen Xu had already notified Chen Ping to arrange for the reporters to follow the army. During this period, some news about the southeastern counties also came back. However, Chen Xu instructed the newspaper to publish the news of the bandits' destruction of the local area and looting the money of the towns and towns, and to promote the brutality of the rebels. When the newspaper was circulated, most of the people in other places knew about the rebels' chaos. People from all over the country were not happy about the rebels' behavior, but were angry with the same hatred of the enemy. In this way, even if the rebel forces of the six countries who were ill-behaved, they became very passive and cautious. When the several counties in the southeast were in chaos, the northwest, northeast and the Central Plains were extremely stable, and there were basically no chaos.

Using propaganda to dismantle the fighting spirit of the rebel forces and at the same time unite the people, this is the huge role of the Daqin Metropolitan Daily in the field of ideological and political affairs today.

After several years of rapid development, the role of Daqin Metropolis Daily in the public opinion propaganda position has become very obvious, and it has gradually begun to achieve Chen Xu's original intention and purpose of opening a newspaper.

Today, the last imperial edict in the court will soon be promoted through newspapers. In this way, the people of the world know that the court not only suppressed the cruel and unkind rebels, but the emperor was also very concerned about the lives of the people in the chaotic areas. It was exempted from taxes and corvee service, and opening warehouses to provide relief to refugees were all benevolent actions. Now, grains are accumulated in various granaries in the Qin Dynasty, so neither the emperor nor the officials are too stingy. This is a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people.

For a full month, Chen Xu was busy splitting the Huaxia Money House. This matter seemed simple, but it was not easy to completely straighten it out. However, as spring came and the weather gradually became warmer, the matter gradually became clearer. Almost all preparations for the Finance Department, the Central Money House and the Huaxia Money House were completed.

Fan Caiying still controls the Huaxia Money House, while Yang Kun is recommended by Chen Xu to serve as the supervisor of the newly prepared central bank. As for the Finance Department, Chen Xu will not get involved, because the Finance Department only manages the court's income and expenditure, and does not belong to the top-level structure. Chen Xu just needs to manage the central bank well. The best candidate was Fan Caiying, but not to mention that Daqin did not have such an important official position, nor did he have any in the future. Chen Xu had to give up after thinking about it.

There was no objection to Chen Xu's recommendation of Yang Kun as the head of the Central Money House, Zhao Wei, and he was very grateful, because the officials of the entire Shaofu were completely disgusted with the operation system of the Central Money House and had no idea how to operate it.

Although Yang Kun did not understand finance very well, he had a very flexible business acumen after all. After Chen Xu and Fan Caiying's indoctrination, he took on this job excitedly and excitedly. This job also made Yang Kun's identity rise to the top, from a casual official with a job in his position to a third-rank official in the Shaofu. Because his position played a great role in the economic prosperity and stability of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor was not stingy after Chen Xu recommended it and directly awarded the title of the junior high school, becoming an important official in the court who controlled the entire financial lifeline of the Qin Dynasty.

Yang Kun was naturally grateful for Chen Xu's recommendation and vowed to follow the leader of Qinghe Houma in this life.

In the spring of the 32nd year of Emperor Qin Shihuang, two newly prepared imperial offices, central bank and finance office, officially opened offices.

The first order for the central bank to open a yamen is to encourage powerful merchants in counties across the country to build money houses in various places, and to carry out in-depth cooperation with Huaxia Banks, and to open money houses throughout all counties and even towns in Daqin as soon as possible.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Chen Xu planned the central bank. He used the power of the court to promote the development of the financial industry and improve grassroots financial units. This will not only quickly promote monetary reform, but also form a financial network spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. Time is too late. With the Chinese bank alone, it will not be able to complete this task in ten or twenty years, because in too remote places, the Chinese bank's hands cannot stretch out that long or so far, but the power of the people can easily be realized. Local merchants are encouraged to invest in opening money houses, and soon expand the bank business to places like Bajun and Shujun, and even in the future, it can open it to areas outside the central rule of the Qin Dynasty, such as Yuezhi and Lingnan.

It was mid-spring February, and everything was full of grass and birds were flying. The whole of China was red and green from south to north. In this spring season, a larger round of national road construction has entered a state of rush. After the spring sowing, a large number of civilians carried pots, pans and bedding tools to work and make money at various construction sites. Cement factories across the country also sold a large amount of fired cement to road construction contractors everywhere. In addition, the demand for coal, iron ore is also increasing day by day. The whole of China is full of thick smoke for firing and steel. The booming basic industry can already see signs.

The situation in the southeast has completely calmed down, and the court reports that are coming and going are no longer about rebels and bandits. Most of them are related to people's livelihood, crackdowns and road construction.

The Xiang family rebels have disappeared. Apart from Xiang Bo and Zhonglimei who escaped by boat, the main force of the entire Xiang family is basically dead. But what Chen Xu has always been worried about is that Ji Bu, the bandit leader, was actually missing, without any news.

However, the crackdowns across the country are still continuing, and the wanted order to arrest Ji Bu is still on the countless counties, counties and pass walls across the country. The people in various places have unprecedented enthusiasm for the crackdown. With the enthusiastic reporting and participation of the people, this round of crackdowns that will last for half a year has been arrested, and all of them have been sent to various places for construction of roads as prisoners. These idle men who do evil in cities and villages can only honestly throw their arms around and move bricks under the suppression of the state machine, becoming a new force in the construction of the Qin Dynasty.

For Chen Xu, the past year was definitely the year that he remembered the most. He took Liu Bang, defeated Xiang family, killed Huangshi Gong, rescued Shui Qingrou, and began to build sailboats to prepare for the future global voyage. He also conquered Yuezhi. The tentacles of the Qin Dynasty had penetrated into the Western Regions. With the implementation of the new Shang laws, the financial situation of the Qin Dynasty was completely straightened out at the turn of winter and spring. Now the development of the Qin Dynasty has begun to develop in the direction he envisioned step by step. The identity of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others has changed. History has completely reversed in the past year. No matter how the Qin Dynasty develops in the future, there will be no situation of Chu and Han fighting for hegemony. That tragic national suicide chaos has almost disappeared without realizing it.

In the past year, thanks to the support of the First Emperor, the classics of the ancestors of various schools of thought have also been printed and launched in large quantities. The Chinese Scriptures, which compiled the brilliant poetry, books, classics, and the history books of ancient and Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have been constantly sorted out. This is an unprecedented cultural event. In addition to the Literature Academy, all the famous scholars in the world participated in it. Every day, a large number of compiled manuscripts were submitted to the Literature Academy. Tens of thousands of disciples were immersed in it and could not extricate themselves. Even the emperor and the civil and military officials of the dynasty were very much looking forward to the grand occasion after these classics that could be passed down for generations. It was definitely a kindness and contribution that was created.

"Comfortable!" On the banks of the stream full of flowers, Chen Xu lay on the grass with gentle elastic thighs pillowing on the water, holding a sweet grass root in his mouth and squinted his eyes to bask in the sun.

Ying Shiman and a few maids sat on a huge cushion mat next to teased Chen Xi who had just crawled. They were surrounded by balang drums and various small toys made of bamboo and wood, and even a colorful picture album with soft water hand-painted patterns of various flowers, birds, insects and fish.

On the bank of the stream, Meng Wan, Xing'er and Yu Ji and other girls were running back and forth in colorful groups to pick wild flowers and play. In the stream, a group of teenagers and servants were catching shrimps and crabs.

Sisters Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei were flying kites with several maids not far from the river beach, and laughter like silver bells came from time to time.

There were sounds of thundering in the distant valley from time to time, and there were laughter and laughter. Meng Yun and a group of dandy were casting nets to catch five-colored fish.

This is the place where I had a picnic with the emperor two years ago.

However, there was no emperor here to join in the fun today, and everyone felt unparalleled relaxation and freedom.

Chen Xu hasn't lived so easily for a long time.

"My benefactor~~"

As the sound of horse hooves came from afar, two tall horses were soon seen galloping towards him. The man in front of him was Yu Wuya who had been out for several months. The woman who was wearing a long blue skirt next to him and also carrying a sword was Yu Wuya's happy enemy Xia Zijin.

"Brother Yu is back!" Chen Xu got up in surprise, and Shui Qingrou also stood up.

"My benefactor, such a fun picnic is not waiting for me!" The horse rushed to Chen Xu and neighed and stopped. Yu Wuya turned over and jumped off the back and complained loudly.

"Why should I wait for you if you are not at home? And where are your kids?"

"Baby? What baby?" Yu Wuya sat next to Chen Xu in confusion, picked up a fried crab in the plate next to him and started gnawing.

"Of course it's your baby. I thought I would have a nephew and bring it back after so long!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded at Xia Zijin who was dismounting from behind.

Yu Wuya's hand trembled and the crab fell to the ground. He secretly looked at Xia Zijin and picked it up and blew it a few times. He shook his head with a black thread and said, "My benefactor, don't talk nonsense, we are going out to find Ji Bu, how can we have time to have a baby!"

"Didn't I say I'll come back soon if I can't find it? Look, my daughter is about to get married. If you don't hurry up, you will have a baby. Then you won't have your share!" Chen Xu joked.

"Puchi~" Shui Qingrou and the maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and sneered their bodies and trembled.

Ying Shiman couldn't help but complain: "Husband, Xi'er is only eight months old, and it will take more than ten years to get married!"

"Hehe, do you understand the baby's bride? Although Xi'er is young, this marriage should be done early. Maybe in a few days, the emperor will not be able to help but come to propose marriage. Then you tell me what to do? I don't want my daughter to marry a princess and become a princess in the future!" Chen Xu said with a dry laugh.

"What my benefactor said is that Xier should be as free as us in the future, go wherever we want, eat, drink, and have everything we want. If you become a princess, you will definitely not be happy..." Yu Wuya nodded while eating crabs, then turned to look at Xia Zijin who was sitting down and said, "Zijin, we must also work hard to help our benefactor fulfill this wish, give birth to a person who takes the lead and start first...ao~"

Xia Zijin's cheeks flushed and pulled her hands back from Yu Wuya's waist, rolled her eyes hard and said angrily: "Do you blame me if you are useless?"

"Hehe, there is such a beautiful spring scenery. We will find a place to work hard in a while... "Yow~" Yu Wuya grinned and screamed again, while Xia Zijin stood up with red clouds on her face and floated to see Fan Caiying and others flying kites.

"Senior brother, Sister Zijin is thin-skinned and so public, how can you say such a shy voice?" Shui Qingrou also glared at Yu Wuya with blushing cheeks.

"Is she thin-skinned? Why didn't I notice it?" Yu Wuya gently rubbed the soft flesh on his waist in depression and muttered, "Last time I kicked me onto the couch and climbed up..."

"Puff~~"
