Although the sound of the drum yesterday spread throughout Chengdu City, only a dozen people at the beginning of the drum and dozens of people after retiring from the hall saw Chen Letian's appearance. The distance is far away, and the people who didn't come and only heard about it didn't see Chen Letian.

This name has been circulating in Bashu for more than a month, and most people still want to see it.

As for why they all want to meet, in fact, there are rumors that Chen Letian is handsome and chic, some say that Chen Lotian is burly and rough, and some say that he is bookish and polite... Anyway, there are all kinds of theories.

When they actually saw it, everyone found that Chen Letian didn't look strange at all, he didn't have sharp fangs, and he didn't look like Pan An. It's just that his face is quite white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but he doesn't look like a person from the military, and at first glance he still looks like a scholar. It's just that Gu Panjian has a momentum that ordinary people don't have, probably only the soldiers of the army.

So the next morning, there were a lot more people who came to wait outside the governor's yamen to see Chen Letian.

Chen Letian was still a mile away from the yamen of the Governor's Mansion when he was stopped by the crowd.

"Excuse me, the owner wants to enter the Governor's Palace. Liu Daming and the guards opened the way in front.

Chen Letian walked leisurely in the back, smiling as he walked and greeting the crowd of people on both sides of the crowd, as if he was the top student in the examination and rode a horse to patrol the streets, and he was just about to get a white horse with a big red flower in his crotch.

"Chen Gongzi, did you come by boat from Bazhong City, and how many days have you been there?"

"For about five or six days, the waterway was very clear, and there were no killers who intercepted me, which surprised me, I came with the intention of dying. ”

"Chen Gongzi, you are from the capital, why do you care about the affairs of Bazhong City? Do you have a vendetta with Cao County Order of Bazhong City?"

"There is definitely no grudge, I didn't know him at all before I came to Shudi, and I can even say that I don't know Cao Xianling to this day. I'm just doing my duty as a great Song people. When the road is uneven, you have to draw a knife to help, it's as simple as that!"

"Chen Gongzi, I heard that you were almost beaten yesterday, did you rush into the Governor because the Governor remembered the relationship with Cao Xianling's old friend?"

"It's... No comment, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. ”

"Chen Gongzi, are you doing this to sensationalize, I heard that you are going to participate in the scientific examination, do you want the court to notice you?"

"What did the imperial court notice about me? Don't say that I wasn't prepared to take the imperial examination, even if I wanted to take the exam, even if I succeeded in attracting the attention of the Confucian scholars of the imperial court with this method, what was the use? When I corrected the papers, the names of all the students were sealed, and the teacher didn't know which paper was written by whom, right?"

"May I ask Gongzi Chen, was he instructed by the county lord to deal with Cao County's order?"

"What's your name? You can go to court with me and help Cao County Order fight a lawsuit with me, if you win, Cao County Ling will definitely give you a lot of silver." ”

The crowd of people on the one-mile road, Chen Letian answered a lot of questions and knew a lot of people's thoughts. This was his impromptu idea.

When he was standing outside the crowd before anyone noticed him, the head of the guard suggested that he climb over the wall from the side, otherwise he would be torn by the people.

Chen Letian was almost ready to do this, but after thinking about it, he just talked to the people and made the people feel better about themselves, no matter what you say, this is a good thing, and it is an invisible hole card when you negotiate with the governor in the future.

Finally, through the crowd and walked into the palace gate and walked to the public hall, the governor was already sitting on the hall and said, "Student Chen, don't salute, just bow your hand." ”

Chen Letian said no with his actions, still knelt down on one knee and saluted, then got up and arched his hand and said with a very serious expression: "The student has something to say." ”

The Governor didn't know what Chen Letian was selling, so he nodded and said, "You say." ”

"Lord Governor, the student is from the Northern Army, and he has spent a lot of time in the army. Chen Letian said: "When I was in the Northern Army, our robes often discussed military matters together, and once we talked about Bashu. Our robes unanimously believe that Shu has not had a war for thousands of years, and now it is extremely rich. These are the works of the Governor-General. If Shu is not stable, how can we, the officers and men of the Northern Army, concentrate on the outside world and rely on the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the enemy! Therefore, my lord, it is not that the students do not disrespect the adults, but it is precisely because the students admire the Governor so much that they salute the adults!"

These words directly made the people in the hall dumbfounded, including Liu Daming.

However, Liu Daming quickly reacted that this was the owner acting according to the plan set yesterday. Yesterday the two of them agreed to have a better attitude towards the Governor today, and not to deal with the Governor as they did yesterday.

Yesterday it was hard, today it has to be soft. In this way, this battle, which is destined to not be easy, can be fought according to their vision.

It's just that Liu Daming didn't expect the owner to come up and praise the governor like this with such a huge bend, which is really clever.

Also quick to react was the Governor.

What kind of person is the governor, a high-grade official who is a feudal official, and when he was a minister, he was a great official.

He thought to himself, this young man is really a set, he was so disrespectful to me yesterday, and he praised me like this today, but... It's really nice to boast about, young man, it's incredible, and in time I'm going to be an older fox than I am. The Governor couldn't help but laugh a few times, and said, "What classmate Chen said about this official is very ashamed, ashamed, ashamed. This official has been here for many years, and if you think about it carefully, you haven't done a few things that are really beneficial to the country and the people, and Chen is mocking this official when he says this. ”

Chen Letian arched his hand and said: "My lord, what the students say is from the bottom of their hearts. My lord, do you think, if it weren't for you..."Originally, what Chen Letian wanted to say next was: Over the years, how can Bashu be among the best in terms of taxes every year?

But then he thought that he couldn't say this, so he immediately changed his words: "If it weren't for you, how could Bashu be praised by the saint every year as a model of civil peace!"

The Great Song Dynasty has a tax ranking every year, and although the specific number of taxes will not be announced, the ranking will be listed for all officials and ordinary people to see.

Bashu Road is ranked in the top ten almost every year, and even in the top five most of the time.

But it's a pity that all these taxes belong to the king of Shu, and not a penny goes into the imperial treasury. So Chen Letian almost said the wrong thing just now, if he said this, it would be tantamount to questioning the governor in disguise, no matter how much money he collected, he would not hand it over, all of it would be squandered by the king of Shu, and you, the governor, would be useless.

Although it is a common practice of the imperial court to Bashu Dao for so many years, once it is said, there is no benefit except for the suspicion of scolding the governor for his incompetence.
