Shu seems to have no ambition to compete for the world since ancient times, and there has never been any too powerful master since ancient times.

For thousands of years, just like the current King of Shu, it seems that the world has nothing to do with him, and the only thing he cares about is to serve the Great Song Dynasty as orthodoxy, and other than that, nothing matters.

From a certain point of view, this Shu land is like a paradise. It's just that this paradise is only for the Shu royal family, and for the people, it is not necessarily a paradise.

After all, here, the lives of the poor and white people are still not very good. Although the poor and lowly people in the whole Song Dynasty and even the whole world are not doing well, relatively speaking, as far as the entire Great Song Dynasty is concerned, the more important the city that the imperial court attaches importance to, the better the poor people will live.

In other words, the same poor people did not live well in the capital in Shudi.

So this paradise can't be considered a real paradise.

Gonggong Li, as a confidant eunuch who is often sent out by His Majesty, often hears the saint talk about the land of Xishu, saying that the Shu royal family is naturally impeccable and has nothing to say in terms of loyalty to the imperial court, but in terms of responsibility to the people of Shu, it is not satisfactory.

But as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, it is obvious whether he wants the former or the latter?

"Your Majesty. At this time, Gonggong Li didn't dare to come out, and when His Majesty forced him to say a few words, he only dared to answer so painlessly.

"But I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of Shu are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I bear to watch them suffer? I have the responsibility to save them!" His Majesty said very sadly.

Seeing His Majesty frowning, Gonggong Li couldn't bear the pain in his heart, and he didn't care about the head of the person, so he went out and said with relief: "Your Majesty, there are many people suffering in the world, you have to take your time, even if Your Majesty doesn't sleep for twelve hours a day, it's not so fast." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Well, I love to hear what you say. ”

Gonggong Li, who has been to Shu dozens of times, is in this magnificent court of the King of Shu at this time, thinking of His Majesty's concern for the people of Shu, he can't help but feel stirred in his heart. At this moment, he thought that if he was an intact body, he would definitely share his worries for His Majesty, instead of being like now, he could only be invited to a banquet by the King of Shu here, and be taken to watch all kinds of playthings...

"Let's go out for a walk. Grandpa Li shook his head and drove away the nonsense.

After changing into the clothes of a rich and noble family, accompanied by the guards and accompanying eunuchs, Gonggong Li went out.

The first place I came to was an inn and tavern that Gonggong Li would go to almost every time he came to Chengdu.

Five hundred steamed steamed buns. Five hundred boiled eggs and five hundred cooked cakes were all hot. In addition, there are 500 catties of rice and 500 catties of noodles.

The shopkeeper Liang of the inn received a notice sent by Master Li yesterday, and he had already prepared these things that Master Li wanted today.

At this time, Master Li arrived, and Shopkeeper Liang walked out of the shop to greet him. Bookbag netting

"Master Li, don't come unharmed. Shopkeeper Liang respectfully stepped forward.

"Liang shopkeeper is also good. Father-in-law Li laughed, at this time, the father-in-law's waist was straight, his laughter was hearty, and he didn't see the appearance of a crippled person. and the appearance of bowing and stretching out his neck and laughing when he looked at the tiger room in the court of the King of Shu.

Father-in-law Li met the shopkeeper Liang as a wealthy businessman in Beijing, the shopkeeper Liang is a small businessman who is very good at doing business, and the family runs this small inn together, providing food, drink and accommodation, and even making breakfast, and the braised vegetable stall is also set up in the store, and the baked cakes are also sold in the store... It can be said that the inn of the shopkeeper Liang is a collection of a variety of things related to eating and drinking.

When Gonggong Li came to Chengdu for the first time, he inadvertently came to this house for dinner, and when he saw the shopkeeper Liang for the first time, he made up his mind to do the business of the shopkeeper Liang.

"Master Li, everything is ready, and it's all hot in the back kitchen. "Shopkeeper Liang made a pot of five taels and one pound of good tea that he bought last night.

Gonggong Li nodded, sat down, picked up the teacup and looked around, and said, "The business is good, but the store is a little small." ”

"Master Li's eyes, who doesn't say it, but I don't dare to expand indiscriminately, and the grocery store next door wanted to transfer the shop to me in August last year, but I didn't dare to ask for it. Shopkeeper Liang stood next to him and said, he spoke a little fast, a typical shopkeeper who does things quickly.

Gonggong Li raised his eyebrows, thinking that you are really welcome, I finally came all the way to come here, and you will ask me for advice when you come up, and you are not afraid that I will be tired. However, Gonggong Li still likes the shopkeeper Liang very much, after all, no matter when, a person who is full of wanting to do things well and concentrating to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat is worthy of respect. After taking a few sips of tea, Li Gonggong said: "You can take it down, the current situation of your family, the benefits of a bigger shop outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you Master Li. When the shopkeeper Liang heard this, he immediately smiled, and immediately called his son to greet Master Li, and then asked his son to go to the store next door to promise the grocery store shopkeeper.

Gonggong Li smiled: "You don't have to be so anxious, dry the next door more, and say that the price can be lower." ”

Shopkeeper Liang rubbed his hands and said: "Master Li, who is not in the way, I just want to hear a word from you, I have a big man like you in my heart, no matter how much money you have, I can't compare." ”

Gonggong Li smiled and waved his hand.

Just like every time I came, just sit down for a while, and after drinking a cup of tea, Gonggong Li got up: "Pick up the things, let's go." ”

Shopkeeper Liang knew that Master Li was busy, and he didn't pretend to keep it, but this time he refused to accept Master Li's silver, and said: "Master Li, if you look at it, forget it this time, and talk about it later." This time, even if you are rude to invite Master Li, Master Li's time is precious, so I won't keep you. ”

In fact, so many things, although they are not worth too much money, but roughly calculated, they are always worth the net profit of two or three days of busy work in the last family. So Gonggong Li still weighed it slightly, and finally nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome." I hope that the next time I come, your business will be on the next level. ”

"By the auspicious words of Master Li, I will definitely live up to Mr. Li's expectations and redouble my efforts. Shopkeeper Liang was full of confidence, and I don't know if it was because of Master Li's words that his confidence increased, or if he had already made a bamboo in his chest, and only asked Master Li's opinion for the sake of safety.

Gonggong Li asked the guards to carry a good bag of 500 steamed buns, 500 boiled eggs, 500 catties of baked cakes, 500 catties of noodles and 500 catties of rice. Walk up the long street and head to your second destination.

Because of the tight wrapping, when you arrive at your second destination, these foods are still hot.
