Chapter 41 Postal

The next day, Li Chengqian, dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked out of the East Palace and went to the Yamen of the General Department of Posts and Roads on the east side of Tianhe Avenue.

This act is a business matter, and the prince is officially traveling, so the battle naturally cannot be small.

However, after arriving at the Yamen, he still withdrew a group of guards and honor guards, and only brought Izumo with him.

At the entrance of the yamen, the officials had received the notice early and were waiting here in advance.

Although the postal route commander is their commander, it is not enough for them to grovel so much that they can wait here in advance, but if the other identity of the postal route commander is the crown prince, then the meaning is completely different.

If you are disrespectful to the prince, you will be killed on the spot, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not say anything because of this.

And interestingly, the second prince Li Chengze also arrived here one step ahead of schedule and waited at the door with them.

The meaning of this made many of them swallow and spit subconsciously.

Seeing the arrival of the prince, all the officials knelt down one after another and said, "The ministers see the prince." ”

Li Chengze did the same, and said respectfully: "Welcome to the prince." ”

Li Chengqian ignored those officials, walked up to Li Chengze in three or two steps, and helped him up.

"Where is the second brother, between you and my brothers, why bother."

Li Chengze didn't care, it was not the first time he knelt in front of the prince, but this time, it was rare to have no grievances and resentment in the past.

On the contrary, a faction of calm and free.

"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished."

Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile, took Li Chengze's arm and walked towards the house.

"Between you and me, presumably my father doesn't want to see a scene where there will be a brother wall, after all, they are brothers, even if there are some disputes on weekdays, what can they do?"

There is no beginning or end to what he said, but Li Chengze understood the meaning.

Emperor Qing asked him to be a whetstone, can't he really see the scene of their brothers killing each other one day?

It's definitely impossible.

But when the prince said this, he obviously had a deep meaning.

Probably that is to say, because of Emperor Qing, they must fight, but after last night, it may have been a real fight in the past, and now they are fighting, I am afraid that it will be more of an acting.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze smiled and said, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true. ”

Immediately, the two separated from each other tacitly, maintaining a distance that was not far away.

After they entered the hall and sat down, the officials who were kneeling at the door got up and entered the palace one after another.

In the lobby, there were more than a dozen officials of different sizes and grades standing densely.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head, the entire postal system does not have much business in a year, and it has to support so many officials.

Moreover, the current people are only officials of the rank who are in charge of Kyoto Road.

There are seven roads in Qingguo, not to mention that in addition to these high-level officials, there are also many officials who do not know how many people are not in the stream.

The reason why Emperor Qing agreed with him to rectify this postal system is probably because he is a little distressed about the reason why he has lost a lot of silver in vain over the years.

At this time, an attendant came over with more than a dozen files and placed them in front of Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian opened it, he read lightly: "Jiang Shansheng, the chief envoy of the Kyoto Road, and Langzhong of the military department, is Wupin, I heard that Cai Jian, the squire of the military department, is your brother-in-law?" ”

At the bottom of the hall, a man about thirty years old standing at the head of the hall slammed his knees on the ground and said, "The minister is afraid. ”

Li Chengqian ignored him and read down the file one by one.

"Yuan Hailiang ......"

Every time I read someone, there was a person who couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the ground.

At the end of the reading, no one in the main hall of the entire government was still standing.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Heh, they are all relatives." ”

He casually swept the file aside, smiled gradually, and said lightly: "I don't care whose relatives you are, I didn't come here to smash your jobs, but the ugly words are ahead, if anyone dares to make any small moves in secret, then, no one can keep you." ”

Under the slightly cold voice, all the officials felt a chill in their hearts.

can't help but secretly complain, the prince is menacing, and they are afraid that they will have a hard time in the future.

However, on the face, they all said solemnly: "The ministers are willing to saddle the horse for the prince and serve the death!" ”

Li Chengqian pursed his lips quietly, he didn't believe a word in the words of these people.

Or rather, he has a congenital distrust of most people in this world.

For example, the East Palace has a system of officials to maintain the operation of the East Palace.

But he never thought of letting these people come out and do things for him.

Mainly because of distrust and unfamiliarity.

In half a year, there is not much contact, most of them are Xiao Gui Cao, as long as the affairs can operate normally.

After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not to mention, he is 100% sure that among these people there must be Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

is like Lin Ruofu's most trusted Yuan Hongdao, who has been friends for decades, but in the end he is Chen Pingping's person.

Who can stand this?

Therefore, until there is no suitable candidate, he would rather maintain the current pattern of the East Palace.

And these people in front of him are the same in his opinion.

First of all, the relationship between these people is intertwined and it is not easy to act rashly, and secondly, after dealing with these people, he has no more suitable candidates for a while, as for the recruitment hall, although many people have been recruited in the past six months, it is not enough to fill the vacancies of these people.

On the contrary, as long as they can be obedient, they don't have to pay too much attention to these people.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said, "Your attitude is very good, I hope you can always maintain it in the future."

Today, the main thing is one thing.

The postal road related system should be changed to the postal service, this place will be called the general post office in the future, under the jurisdiction of the seven roads, then set up seven road branches, the post stations under the seventeen states also have their own changes, the specific regulations, from someone to you later. ”

Hearing this, the officials below were all silent.

I even felt a little more relaxed in my heart.

Because of this policy of changing names, they have long been familiar with Emperor Qing's decades of reign.

Whether it is useful or not, it is difficult to say, but to refuse, that is impossible to refuse.

There are even people who secretly complain in their hearts, sure enough, if there is a father, there is a son.

Li Chengqian glanced at them and probably knew what they were thinking, but his changes were completely different from those of Emperor Qing's new policy, which they knew they were not aware of, and they would have to suffer in the future.

Of course, there is no need to say much about it now.

Then, he said in a deep voice: "I need to convey this decree to all parts of Gyeongkoku within 20 days, and within two months, I will see the heads of the various places, including the post chiefs from all over the country, gather in Kyoto." ”

Seeing that the officials seemed to have a difficult face, he immediately shouted: "This is a notice, not to ask for your opinions, can they come to the two to say, but if there is a mistake in the process of conveying the decree, one of the people present will be counted as one, and all of them will get out!" ”

Hearing this, the officials in the hall tightened their hearts and hurriedly said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, we should do our best." ”
