Finally, at noon on the eighth day, the boat arrived at the ferry port in Chengdu City.

A total of eight people with four people and four guards got off the boat, and the feeling of steadiness on the shore with both feet was very good.

"This is the first time I've come back to Chengdu to see how this Furong City makes people forget to go home. Chen Letian walked as he walked.

The walls of Chengdu are at least half shorter than those of the capital, and the thickness is less than half of the capital.

From this point, it can be seen that the king of Chengdu has never had any warlike consciousness.

However, there is a folk saying that the king of Shu has always used this method to make others not interested in attacking the city.

Or to put it another way, because the Chengdu city gate is easy to break, it is simply regarded as the last country to break through every time Shu is destroyed.

And in the end, maybe it will surrender without a fight.

Just like at the end of the Nine Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony, the horsehooves of the first emperor trampled all over the court of the eight kings, and in the end, except for a few who did not spend great effort to annex the meaning, all the others were annexed, leaving only a Shu land.

Then the king of Shu directly surrendered his land, and this surrender directly made Shu the only country that did not suffer from the scourge of swords in the later stage of the struggle for hegemony.

"What should the walls of Chengdu do if they are so high and thick? It's already His Majesty's, who is it to guard against?"

This is what the King of Shu said in the face of the question of the Great Song Emperor when he met the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for the first time in Shu.

Then the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty at that time smiled and said: "The way of Taoism, doing nothing and doing nothing, is vividly in you." But then again. When the country is in danger to that point, no matter how high and thick your Chengdu city is, you can't stop the soldiers and horses. ”

The king of Shu thought so, and the old ministers of Shu also thought so.

Chen Letian stood in front of the gate of Chengdu and looked up for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "Let's take this as a warning, don't forget the lessons of history! ”

After everyone entered the city, they were greeted by a bustling long street. According to what Chen Letian had seen on the map before, the road led directly to the Shu Palace, the Governor's Mansion.

Go to the Governor's Mansion first, and then go to the end of the Shu Palace.

In fact, in terms of architectural pattern, the Governor's Mansion and the Shu King's Mansion are completely incomparable. The Shu Palace, which is the original palace of the Shu Kingdom, has not changed at all. The Doge's Palace was only built later

It's just a government office, two or three times larger than the average county government.

There is a proverb among the people of Chengdu that says that the Shu Wangfu is missing, and the Governor's Mansion throws a stone to the corner. The affairs of Shu are decided by the two governments, no one is afraid of anyone, and no one listens to anyone.

This proverb is a good indication of the size of the Shu Prince's Mansion and the smallness of the Governor's Mansion.

However, Chen Letian is going to shop for the time being, and he is not in a hurry to go to the Governor's Mansion to complain. It's hard to come to this Jinguan City, you must take a good look.

After walking less than half a mile into the city gate of Chengdu, Chen Letian was attracted by a bookstore next to the road. The reason why he was attracted was because the signboard was really eye-catching.

The names of normal bookstores are very book-like, such as Huating, Shuyuan and the like. But this bookstore is called Jin Ge Iron Horse. The signboard is very large, written with four gilded characters, which makes people look at it, and it will not be associated with a bookstore at all, but a casino or an armory shop.

Also, the signboards of other studies are not big or public, he is very public, big and bright.

In addition, next to the signboard, there is a similar wine flag, on which is written a slightly smaller line: Jin Ge Iron Horse is here two taels of silver.

The flag fluttered in the wind, quite imposing.

Chen Letian was completely aroused by the signboard, and then looked at it, all the books and the four treasures of the study were placed in the shop, and there were also many four treasures of the study room at the door.

"This bookstore is okay, I definitely want to go in and have a look. Then Chen Letian went in first. Ying Sheng Yu Hou and the four guards were waiting outside, and only Liu Daming accompanied Chen Letian inside.

Chen Letian's eyes swept over the stall table in front of the door, on which were some books that had been popular recently. There are storybooks and poems.

The booksellers of the Great Song Dynasty all have a truth that everyone knows. In the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to sell books, what is the best book to sell?

If you ask someone who can read and write, he will tell you stories, books and poems.

Especially storybooks, in the peaceful and prosperous times of the last few decades, what they sell is simply like the chicken in the vegetable market, and it has become something that every household has to buy and cannot lack.

As long as they are literate, no one dares to say that they have never read a storybook.

When you walk in, there's a world inside. The four treasures of the study can be seen everywhere

Pick it up. The price is clearly marked above, and Tong Su is not bullied.

Chen Letian, as a person who is a businessman at home, expects that this bookstore must be the first bookstore in Chengdu in terms of location and size.

You have to have that strength to open a bookstore here.

As long as Chen Letian enters the bookstore, he is reluctant to leave without buying something. Therefore, I bought a dozen taels of silver, according to the store's own words, it is an out-of-print book, and it is all the books of the Analects and other sages.

In fact, this kind of scriptures are found in large shops and stalls, but the degree of exquisiteness of the binding is different. In this kind of big bookstore, the bindings of one or two silver are sold, and in the small bookstalls that can be found everywhere, the bindings are sold for pennies, but in fact, the content is the same.

"Even though the content is the same, I just love the beautiful binding. When he came out of the bookstore, Chen Letian said to the shopkeeper who followed behind.

Although the shopkeeper is well-informed, there are still not many guests who spend a dozen taels of silver to buy books without hesitation. And after learning that the other party was from the capital, the shopkeeper was even more careful.

"Childe comes often, we eat, drink and play a lot in Chengdu, but there are not many bookstores, and this bookstore is also the largest in Chengdu. Childe must appreciate his face when he comes back, and invite Childe to have a few drinks at the next opportunity. The shopkeeper said.

Chen Letian nodded: "I must come to bother." ”

Before he even found a place to live, he bought a large bag of things, and a powerful guard followed Chen Letian with a large stack of books.

Chen Letian looked at him and said, "Don't be too serious, knowledge can't be judged in catties." ”

The guard shook his head again and again and said, "Boss, it's not heavy, I can bring another 200 catties." ”

"They're all rude guys, haha. Chen Letian patted this nine-foot-tall guard who Feng Shan carefully selected again and again, it was really too honest.

There are Ying Sheng and Yu Hou, except for visiting the bookstore to buy books, they don't know how to arrange, all the other accommodations are eating, drinking and playing, they are all clear.

Arrange for them to stay in one of the best restaurants in Chengdu. Chen Letian said to them, save some money and flowers, we don't know how long we will stay in Chengdu, don't be in such a hurry to spend. As a result, they were unconvinced and said that the owner looked down on us too much, and our family background was left to the owner to eat, drink and play as he pleased, and it would take fifty years to spend it.
