In the past few days, the imperial historians have classified the new forms of paper submitted for study.

Chen Letian was also very happy to see that everything was going according to plan.

Sometimes Liu Daming would be asked to go to the street to buy some delicious and exquisite snacks for them to eat.

At first, these imperial historians refused, but they couldn't stand Chen Letian's coercion. Chen Letian said, if you don't eat, you will look down on me Chen Letian, and think that I Chen Letian is a businessman who does business, and the money in my pocket stinks.

The imperial historians said, by no means, we can't eat your Lord Chen, this is the rule of our imperial history.

Chen Letian said what rules, no matter how big the rules are, you have to eat, if you say that you only work and don't eat, then I have nothing to say, what is the value of this bit of food and drink, even if it is said in front of Your Majesty, this is not a bad thing, Your Majesty will definitely praise me for doing things, I am to boost your efficiency...

It's all said and done, and the imperial historians can't insist anymore, just eat. Anyway, Lord Zhongcheng has explained to them, in addition to the key points to grasp, the small things must listen to Chen Yushi. Chen Yushi is a person who does things unreasonably, you can't get entangled with him in small things.

When they heard this, they were very puzzled, Lord Zhongcheng had never seen Chen Letian, could it be seen just by what was written in the chapter, Lord Zhongcheng is really amazing.

And sure enough, after arriving here, in a short time of getting along, they knew that Lord Chen was just like what Lord Zhongcheng said, and he didn't follow common sense. They admired Lord Zhongcheng even more.

Eating some of Chen Letian's food almost every other day, they would be a little unaccustomed to it if they didn't eat for a day. asked Liu Gongzi, this famous master in Shu said that these are not expensive, and more than a dozen of us only need two dollars of silver for a meal. The main thing is to be able to find, like this kind of osmanthus cake with grape flavor, there is only one in Chengdu that makes the most delicious, that is, the Qingqing shop in the north of the city, and this shop only supplies a limited amount of this osmanthus cake every day. Because it tastes good, anyone who wants to buy it has to go to the queue early to get it. Unfortunately, I happened to know the shopkeeper of this shop, so I asked him to keep some for me.

Everyone is very moved, it's not worth much, but it's bothering.

During the break, Chen Letian would chat with them there. Most of them are talking about their parents, and Chen Letian will tell them about his affairs in the capital, when he was a child, when he joined the army, and after returning to Beijing.

The trust in them was fully expressed. new

Sometimes they ask Chen Letian some questions.

For example, this morning, during a break, a royal historian surnamed Huang asked Chen Letian: "What is the root cause of corruption in Shudi?"

Chen Letian said: "This problem is quite big, I can only say my own opinion. He drank his saliva and said: "First of all, let's make it clear that the corruption in Shu is only relative to the relatively clear places of our Great Song Dynasty. If it is compared with the Liang State and the Wei State, Shu Di is not necessarily more corrupt than them. Personally, I think there are three reasons, first, Shu officials have been like this since ancient times, even in the Qingming era, we can see more shadows of corruption in Shu when we look through the history books. That is to say, it seems that it can be seen from the habit that the people of Shu are not very disciplined in doing things, and they don't care much about many details. In our common people, being informalistic is not necessarily a bad thing, and it is good to get by. However, in the officialdom, if we still hold this mentality, then everyone is almost okay, it's not a big deal, and if we don't take it seriously and don't take it seriously, can the atmosphere in the officialdom still be good? Second, the high-level officials of Shu are not clear in the first place, except that they do not have military autonomy, and even the appointment and dismissal of personnel are nominally done by the imperial court, but in fact they are still appointed and dismissed by the Shu Prince's Mansion, and the imperial court can just agree to it. And the high-level of the Shu Palace itself doesn't care about what is honest and honest, as long as they don't cause trouble to the court is their ultimate goal, as for life, it is to get by, and life must be happy. Third, there is the problem of the system, but because of the foreshadowing of the first two articles, I think that even if we find a perfect system, once we arrive in Shudi, it will be implemented by such officials, and it will definitely not be implemented well. In the end, it's just as it should be, and it's nothing. ”

After such a long speech, Chen Letian picked up the teacup again and took a few sips.

Huang Yushi thought for a while, nodded and said: "In general, the system is implemented by people, and whether the system decided by people can be implemented." Chen Yushi is very right, but I still don't understand, if the existence of the system is meaningful, but what is the use of the system?"

"Okay, that's a good question. Chen Letian clapped his hands, and the other imperial histories had actually been listening, and they all looked at Chen Letian at this time, and Chen Letian said: "The system does need people to implement it." No matter how good the system is, it is in vain for me to implement it without good people. But people can control the implementation of the system, and the system can control people in the same way. The two go hand in hand. On the other hand, without people like you, who are really dedicated to picketing hundreds of officials, the imperial history system would not be able to be implemented, but without the system of the Imperial History Observatory, how can such pillars of talent as you be promoted? We cannot rely only on the system, nor can we do without the system. Personally, I believe that the viability and reliability of the system can determine the thinking of the people who implement the system at some level..."

The imperial historians frowned and thought about it when they heard it, they were all smart people, and they immediately figured out that they had never thought about it before, their existence made the imperial history platform not an empty and useless yamen, and the imperial history platform gave them a place to use. A good system can suppress people's greed to a certain extent and increase the enthusiasm of officials to be honest.

"We didn't think like this, Lord Chen really had a deep insight, which made me feel ashamed of people who were a few years older. Zhang Yushi arched his hand.

Chen Letian thought to himself, I didn't come up with these things out of thin air, the things in the unknown letter made me have countless insights than you, and those unheard of theories frightened you. said modestly: "Lord Zhang has won the award, and I am just hearsay." ”

Zhang Yushi thought to himself, can we hear such a thing by hearsay? Why don't we have such good luck? Just take Chen Letian as a humble remark.

As a result, the ten deputy envoys, including Zhang Yushi, became more and more convinced of Chen Letian.

From not believing it at the beginning, to trusting it now. In fact, it only took a few days.
