Zhao Xuanji stayed on Li Chen's carriage for a long time, and did not get off the carriage until the motorcade stopped for a rest while passing through Baoding Mansion.
Li Chen also came down. Outside, it was a group of officials from Baoding Prefecture who were kneeling on both sides of the road to welcome him.
"The humble minister Lin Qiuming, the governor of Baoding Prefecture, together with all the officials from Baoding Prefecture, came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Thousand Years Old."
Li Chen looked at the dense crowd of officials kneeling on the roadside and said they were officials, but the local landlords, officials, and squires with status in Baoding Prefecture would naturally squeeze their heads and follow them, even if they knew they had spoken to the prince.
The chance of talking was almost non-existent, and there would be no real benefit from participating in such a greeting, but they were just looking for a name.
When the prince passes by, naturally only the most famous and prestigious people in the area are qualified to come and greet him on behalf of the local area. This is an oath to one's own strength. No matter whether you want to come or not, you must come, otherwise you will be considered as not strong enough.
Eligible to participate.
Li Chen knew some of the twists and turns, but he was still a little impatient.
“Didn’t I say that the government along the way would not allow such a grand project to be carried out?”
Li Chen glanced sideways at Xiaochuanzi and said, "Is it because you didn't pass on what I said, or the people below didn't take my words seriously?"
Of course, Ogawazi knew that these words were not actually meant for him, nor did he mean to accuse himself, but he still replied cooperatively: "Your Highness is a wise man. In fact, all civil and military officials and local people hope to admire your highness...
Your Highness does not want to waste the people and money, but this is also what the people want."
Damn, I really did some reading. This idiom was used so smoothly that Li Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
Lin Qiuming, the prefect of Baoding, was also a wonderful man. He took over the conversation in a very clever and sensible manner and said: "Your Highness cares about the people and is unwilling to waste people and money. This is the embodiment of Your Highness's benevolence. I don't dare to disobey, and I also treat Your Highness."
He was moved by kindness, so he did not make a big fanfare. He just led some squires and officials who strongly requested to come to greet His Highness, and boldly asked His Highness to stay in the city temporarily and set off again tomorrow morning. In this way, all the people in Baoding Mansion also
An honor.”
Li Chen listened with a smile on his face, showing no real emotion or anger. When Lin Qiuming finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the nearly 100 rich or noble people present, pretending not to notice that all Lin Qiuming said was beautiful.
nonsense on the scene.
Everyone carries the sedan chair. As a prince, he cannot ignore the rules too much. He even has to take the initiative to uphold the rules, because as a person in power, these rules maximize his interests to a large extent. He is the one who
The person who benefits most from the rules.
If he didn't have this respect and even awe for the prince, how could he get more power?
After a drink and a peck, since he got the benefits, Li Chen naturally had to make some decisions that were not so random at many times.
Therefore, the greater the power and the higher the position, the less freedom one has.
Power is brought by systems and rules, and systems and rules will inevitably constrain writing.
Li Chen did not comment, but just took a step and said: "Don't talk about such stupid things as staying overnight. The motorcade set off from the capital in the early morning. It's just past noon. If we stay here, we can only reach the south in the year of the monkey. But now that we are here, we are in Baoding."
Let’s go after lunch.”
Lin Qiuming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the prince gave him this face, and the current result was what he had expected before. It was impossible for the prince to stay in Baoding Mansion, which was very close to the capital, just after leaving the capital, so he respectfully said: "Wei
