Standing on the steps outside the door of Pei Ji's mansion, Xu Shanxin was very irritable.

He didn't know how he was assigned the task of going to Bashu by Xu Ling and Pei Ji, and if Xu Shanxin was allowed to choose, he didn't want to go.

Everyone knows what the situation is like now with the general Zhenxi of Bashu and the imperial court, but no one knows what the attitude of the two sides is.

Xu Shanxin is not without confidence in himself, but he really doesn't know what kind of attitude he should use to face Li Xinchen. Because Xu Shanxin knows too little about Li Xinchen, an opponent he may face in the future.

From the rumors, he knew too many sides of Li Xinchen.

The descendants of Li Cheng, the "Shixing Spear King" who once followed Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, the genius who instigated the battle of Jingzhou, the heroic general who defended Zhangshan County alone to block Wei Chi, and the hero who entered Shu with light troops and took the entire Bashu alive······ There are even rumors that Li Xinchen and Her Royal Highness the princess in the palace don't know if it's true or not.

Li Xinchen brought too much talk to the people of Jiankang Mansion after tea and dinner, and this kind of talk was obviously not enough for Xu Shanxin to judge what kind of person his opponent was.

A brave and warlike general, a sinister and cunning hero, or an out-and-out infatuation who loves the country and loves the beauty more?

Xu Shanxin is not afraid of being an enemy of anyone, he believes that his persistence and stubbornness can defeat any difficult opponent, but without knowing what the opponent is like, Xu Shanxin asks himself why it is impossible to defeat the opponent.

What's more, Xu Shanxin doesn't even know what kind of attitude the imperial court has now, does he want to continue to maintain a somewhat strange relationship with Li Xinchen, and he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely win over Li Xinchen as a newly rising force?

Therefore, Xu Shanxin wanted to ask Xu Ling's opinion very much, but Xu Ling, the old fox who chose him as the envoy, obviously did not intend to directly face Xu Shanxin's problem, so he simply closed the door and thanked the guests, hiding from Xu Shanxin.

Although Xu Shanxin has not been in the officialdom for a long time, he also knows Xu Ling's thoughts, I am afraid that if he leaves Jiankang Mansion with his front foot, Xu Ling will recover his health on the back foot. So after eating a closed fast at the door of Xu Ling's mansion, Xu Shanxin came directly to Pei Ji's mansion without hesitation.

He must at least know what the imperial court is planning, otherwise Xu Shanxin doesn't even know if he can come back alive after this trip.

If Pei Ji didn't see him, then Xu Shanxin was really desperate.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a servant made a gesture of please: "My master asks Xu Jun to enter for a while." ”

Xu Shanxin gratefully bowed his hand and walked up the stairs.

At this time, Pei Ji was standing outside the council hall, with a little melancholy on his face, his son Pei Yun stood aside respectfully, compared to his father, Pei Yun at this time looked a little calmer and steady, and he didn't know if he didn't understand the general trend or was already confident, so he didn't panic.

Of course, Pei Ji knew why Xu Shanxin came, because Xu Shanxin's order as a messenger was decided by him and Xu Ling together, and now Xu Ling, the old fox, actually closed the door and thanked the guests, and pushed all the responsibilities over, although Pei Ji was very helpless, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to Xu Shanxin, who was standing outside the door in a hurry.

It really pushed this young man into a hurry, and he didn't know what was going to happen.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji could only sigh secretly in his heart, maybe he was not as ruthless and decisive as Xu Ling, or maybe this was the difference between someone who could become a left servant and a person who could become a capital official Shangshu.

Seeing Xu Shanxin walk in, Pei Ji immediately hurried up to meet him: "Xu Jun! ”

"Pei Shangshu!" Xu Shanxin was a little excited, at this time he wanted to get the answer he wanted from Pei Ji too much.

And Pei Ji looked at Xu Shanxin's slightly trembling hand, and made a gesture of please on one side: "Please Xu Jun speak." ”

——————————————-

"It's really admirable that the general can do this." Tang Yishun sat on the tea stall on the street with a teacup in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This is the downtown of Shu County, surrounded by a lot of traffic, many travelers rest here, and the surrounding is full of noisy and noisy sounds, which makes Tang Yishun, who grew up in a family, feel a little uncomfortable.

And Pei Zilie, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly and looked at Tang Yishun's gaze, not far away, Li Xinchen was talking with a few porters and businessmen and scholars at the adjacent table-maybe it would be more appropriate to "spit and fly" if it was ugly-a few people talked about the pleasant place, picked up the tea bowl in their hands, and drank it with water instead of wine.

The things they discussed were nothing more than the new owners of Shu County and the future of this city, and several porters complained to Li Xinchen that there were no bluestone paved roads in several streets, which were really muddy; Several merchants suggested that perhaps the taxes at several checkpoints in the north could be reduced, otherwise no caravans would be willing to go to the Sword Pavilion and other places in the north; The scholars were obviously very interested in the schools that had begun to be built in Ba County and other places, and it might be a good choice to teach and educate people to spread the doctrine of the saints without the opportunity to get ahead······

Li Xinchen was also dressed as a scholar, and while smiling and responding to the proposal of several people, he beckoned the shopkeeper next to him to continue to add water.

If other Shangguan did such a thing, Pei Zilie would definitely look at him differently, but Li Xinchen's doing this was not unexpected by Pei Zilie.

This is also the reason why Pei Zilie has followed Li Xinchen from beginning to end, this young man does not have the sense of distance of the superior "does not eat the fireworks of the world", if he is allowed to choose, he may be more willing to fight with the soldiers and people under his command.

As if feeling the gaze here, Li Xinchen quietly winked at Pei Zilie and Tang Yishun.

And Tang Yishun shook his head and didn't say anything, but he also knew the significance of Li Xinchen's actions, and just quietly kept in mind the problems that Li Xinchen had just discussed with those businessmen and scholars.

Tang Yishun had to admit that these issues are just trivial matters compared to the overall policy, but it is these details that often determine success or failure. For example, a merchant just said that the passage tax in the northern passes is high, so after a long time, the business travel to Jiange, Jiameng Pass and other places will decrease, and over time, the connection between these places and the core town of Shu County will naturally weaken, which is not much good for Li Xinchen to establish rule over these passes.

And there are many similar problems, all of which Tang Yishun didn't think of at all before, after all, Tang Yishun or Li Xinchen are not almighty gods, they haven't personally experienced such problems, how can they think about them thoroughly.
