Chapter 468: Good Waiting
At the end of the fifth watch of the next day, Chen Letian took Liu Daming, Ying Sheng, Yu Hou and four guards from the waterway and took a boat to the Chengdu Governor's Palace.
The Governor's Mansion and the Court of the King of Shu are both in Chengdu.
In terms of official position, the Governor's Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Shu Palace.
This is the inevitable system of Shudi autonomy. It was a privilege granted to the king of Shu by the imperial court. However, in the case of the King of Shu, the Governor's Mansion is independent, or from the perspective of the Shu Prince's Mansion, they basically do not give orders to the Governor's Palace. There are things in the Governor's Mansion that are directly reported to the imperial court, although a copy will be copied and sent to the Shu Wangfu at the same time as the report to the imperial court, but it is just a formality.
However, because of the high degree of autonomy of Shudi, the Governor's Palace, a special case in autonomy, does not have many official documents to make, although he is not regulated, he has no power. His greatest power was actually to report to the imperial court what was happening in Shu.
The existence of the Governor's Mansion of Bashu Province is the most unique existence in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
In a few words, I want to make it clear what he is responsible for, what he is responsible for on the surface, what he is not actually responsible for, what must be managed, and what is not necessary but must be managed... It's hard to say in a sentence or two.
However, Chen Letian and they want to beat the drum to voice grievances, which is absolutely possible.
There is an iron rule in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the lower-level people can skip the level and beat the drum to voice grievances.
For example, if the people of a county feel that there is no way to file a lawsuit, they can go to the state, and if the state feels that there is no way, they can go to Beijing to file a lawsuit.
In principle, even everyone can go directly to Beijing to sue the emperor.
But you can't tell the truth. For example, if you go to Beijing to sue the emperor, you have to have a reasonable reason. For example, involving relatives of county magistrates, or involving state and county magistrates, and there may be dangers that cause the person who filed the complaint to have to skip the level to file a lawsuit.
In this case, the higher-level government will accept it, otherwise it will not be accepted.
Chen Letian went to the Governor's Mansion to file a lawsuit, and his reason was very correct, what he wanted to sue was the county order, so there was no problem with the qualifications to sue.
From the waterway to Chengdu, the scenery along the way is also beautiful, the green mountains and green water birds on both sides of the Shudi waters, the flowers are fragrant, and the spring color is beautiful, which makes Chen Letian feel very happy.
With them, there were also two people who were temporarily sent by Li Xuan'er in the end. These two people are obedient to Li Xuan'er, and they regard Li Xuan'er as a master from the bottom of their hearts.
Even compared with Chen Letian, they still listened to Li Xuan'er's words more.
Chen Letian also laughed at Li Xuan'er for this, saying that your two apprentices are too loyal, what did you bow to them?
Li Xuan'er frowned and said, what nonsense, they are loyal to me because they respect you.
Chen Letian laughed and said, "When I first came, they fell to the ground on the five bodies that you admired, and I didn't see it."
Li Xuan'er said, as soon as you appeared, you beat the two killers without the power to fight back, and one look made my two apprentices admire.
This time, Li Xuan'er had to let these two follow Chen Letian. In fact, there is a desire to temper the two, although Li Xuan'er did not say it explicitly, but Chen Letian knows it. Li Xuan'er wants these two prominent characters in the shopping mall to go out for a walk more, and dissipate the turbidity that has been stuffed in her chest for so many years as soon as possible.
No matter who you are, if you can't fulfill your long-cherished wish for many years, there will be a turbidity in your chest. This turbidity is very bad, and it is very harmful to both the body and the spirit.
It's not that Li Xuan'er understands medical skills, but that his father told him since he was a child.
As Li Xuan'er grew up, she became more and more in agreement with what her father said.
In Ying Sheng and Yu Hou, she felt this turbidity from them from the first time she saw them.
Because of this turbidity, these two people seem very dull when it comes to cultivation and martial arts. This also greatly affects their work.
If the mentality is not good, if the heart is not pure enough, then doing things will be half the effort.
And this time Chen Letian didn't think about taking the two of them, but Li Xuan'er thought about it and let them follow.
It is also beneficial to go out and take a look more, even if it is just to go to the city of Chengdu to see the shops along the street, even if it is just to go to the Governor's Mansion to see the wide gate of the red gate and blue tiles.
"Brother Lotte, you have to take care of my two apprentices, otherwise I will be unhappy. ”
When she got on the boat at the dock, Li Xuan'er, who came to see Chen Letian, said with a smile to Chen Letian.
"Master, don't worry, we will definitely serve Master well. The two said.
When Chen Letian heard the word "waiting", he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and then caught a glimpse of Feng Shan smiling beside him.
"Feng Shan, you have nothing to do during this time
Practice the Tai Chi I taught you, and I'm going to test you when I come back. Chen Letian said.
Feng Shan suddenly wilted, he was taught Tai Chi by Chen Letian in the past few days, where is teaching boxing, he is catching him and beating him. Finally, the owner went out to work for a few days, he thought he could rest, but he didn't expect a mockery of the owner, and he was immediately retaliated by the owner. The owner, the owner, don't adults remember villains, don't you understand.
The speed of the boat is neither fast nor slow, which is suitable for everyone to watch the scenery.
Chen Letian held a teapot that may be inlaid with gold and jade, tasting tea, this teapot is not light or heavy, and it also has a good hand warming effect. This is what should be won over him.
Now Chen Letian feels that there are really a lot of benefits to taking these two rich businessmen, and they really serve themselves very well. First of all, they have money, and they don't think about food, drink, housing and transportation money at all, and secondly, they have all kinds of precious, easy-to-use and good-looking utensils, just like the teapot in Chen Letian's hand at this moment.
Liu Daming also has a teapot in his hand, although the workmanship is not as luxurious as Chen Letian's hand, but it is also first-class and exquisite.
"Uncle Shi, this teapot was in the court of the King of Shu five hundred years ago, called the Azure Pot, it is rumored that it was used by the former King of Shu, but I don't believe it, because the King of Shu at that time was born recklessly, and he always used a bowl to drink tea and wine, and this kind of exquisite teapot was only used by his heirs, and it would never be used by him..." Suddenly, I felt that the teapot in my hand was a lot heavier.
Ying Sheng saw this scene and added: "There were many such teapots in the court of King Shu that year, although they were exquisite, but the number of pieces was also many, so they were not worth a few dollars. ”
Chen Letian really realized what it means to serve well.
I also realized why so many officials couldn't withstand the corrosion of businessmen. It is true that the officials' own injustice and lack of purity in their hearts are the main aspects, but the merchants' various ways of serving and coaxing are also one aspect. I don't feel it once or twice, but over time, it can really make people feel a kind of meticulous comfort.
It can be said that as long as you go out with you, even for two or three hours, you can feel infinitely comfortable.
And in terms of speaking, with such sincerity and indifference to money, it is really difficult for an official to dislike such a businessman.
