Chapter 41 Post
The next day, Li Chengqian, dressed in a fine attire, left the East Palace with hustle and bustle, and went to the Yamen of the Chief Post Office located on the east side of Tianhe Avenue.

This behavior is official business, and the crown prince is going on an official trip, so the battle is naturally not to be taken lightly.

But after arriving at the Yamen, he still shunned all the guards and guards of honor, and only brought Izumo with him.

At the gate of the yamen, a group of officials had received the notice early and waited here in advance.

Although the Postal Route Commander is their chief, it is not enough for them to bow their knees and wait here in advance, but if the postal route commander's other identity is the prince, then the meaning is completely different.

If he is disrespectful to the prince, he will be killed on the spot, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not say anything about it.

And what's interesting is that the second prince Li Chengze also arrived here one step earlier and waited at the door with them.

The implication of this made many of them swallow subconsciously.

Seeing the prince's arrival, all the officials knelt down one after another and said, "I see the prince."

The same is true for Li Chengze, he respectfully said: "Welcome the prince."

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

"What's the matter with the second brother, between you and me, why is it so?"

Li Chengze didn't take it seriously, it wasn't the first time he knelt in front of the crown prince, but this time, it was rare that he didn't have the aggrieved and unsatisfied feelings of the past.

On the contrary, it is calm and free and easy.

"A king is a king, a minister is a minister, and etiquette cannot be abolished."

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, took Li Chengze's arm and walked into the mansion.

"Between you and me, my father probably doesn't want to see a scene where brothers fight against each other. They are brothers after all. Even if there are some disputes on weekdays, so what?"

What he said was endless, but Li Chengze understood the meaning.

Emperor Qing asked him to be a whetstone. Could it be true that one day their brothers would kill each other?

Certainly not possible.

But when the prince said this, it was obvious that he had a deep meaning.

It probably means that because of Emperor Qing's reason, they must fight, but after last night, it might have been a real fight in the past, but if they fight now, it's probably more like acting.

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

Immediately, the two separated tacitly from each other, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

After they entered the hall and sat down, the officials who were kneeling at the door got up and entered the government office one after another under the words of the servant.

In the lobby, more than a dozen officials of different ranks, big and small, stood densely.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head. The entire postal system doesn't have much business in a year, so it has to support so many officials.

Moreover, the current people are only officials who are in charge of Jingdu Road with high grades.

There are seven roads in the Qing Kingdom, not to mention that apart from these high-ranking officials, there are also an unknown number of low-level officials.

The reason why Emperor Qing agreed with him to rectify the postal system was probably because he felt sorry for the waste of a lot of money over the years.

At this time, a servant came over with dozens of files and placed them in front of Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian opened it, he read lightly: "Jiang Shansheng, the chief envoy of Jingdu Road, and a doctor of the driving department of the military department, is a fifth rank. I heard that Cai Jian, the minister of the military department, is your brother-in-law?"

Under the hall, a 30-year-old man who stood at the head knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said, "I'm panicked."

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

"Yuan Hailiang..."

Every time a person was read, one person couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the ground.

At the end of the reading, there was no one standing in the main hall of the government office.

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Oh, they are all relatives."

He casually swept a file aside, his smile faded, and he said lightly: "I don't care who your relatives are, I'm not here to destroy your jobs, but the ugly words are up front, if anyone dares to do something secretly , then no one can protect you.”

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

Can't help crying secretly, the prince is coming aggressively, they are afraid that they will have a hard time in the future.

But on the surface they all said solemnly: "The ministers are willing to saddle up for the crown prince and die!"

Li Chengqian curled his lips calmly. He didn't believe a word these people said.

In other words, he has an innate distrust of most people in this world.

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

But he never thought about letting these people come out to do things for him.

Mainly because of mistrust and unfamiliarity.

In half a year, there was not much contact, most of them were Xiao Gui Cao Sui, as long as the business could run normally.

After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, what's more, he is 100% sure that there must be Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping among these people.

Just like Lin Ruofu's most trusted Yuan Hongdao, after decades of friendship, he turned out to be Chen Pingping's person.

Who can bear this?
Therefore, before there is no suitable candidate, he would rather maintain the current structure of the East Palace.

And the people in front of him seemed the same to him.

First of all, the relationship between these people is complicated, and it is not easy to act rashly. Secondly, after dealing with these people, he has no more suitable candidates for a while. As for the recruiting office, 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 are obedient, there is no need to put too much thought on these people.

Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and said: "Your attitude is very good, I hope you can keep it in the future.

Today, the main thing is one thing.

The system related to the postal route has been changed to the Postal Service. This place will be called the General Post Office in the future, and the Seventh Road Branch under its jurisdiction will be set up with the Seventh Road Branch Office. The post stations including the seventeen prefectures will also have their own changes. The specific regulations are as follows: Someone will pass it on to you later. "

Hearing this, all the officials below were silent.

There was even some relief in my heart.

Because of this policy of changing names, they have already been familiar with it during the decades of Emperor Qing's reign.

It's hard to say whether it's useful or not, but it's impossible to refuse.

There are even some people secretly complaining in their hearts, that if there is a father, there will be a son.

Li Chengqian glanced at them, and he probably knew what they were thinking, but his changes were completely different from Emperor Qing's New Deal, which knew what was happening and didn't know why, and they would have to suffer in the future.

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

Afterwards, he said in a deep voice: "I need to convey this decree to all parts of the Qing Kingdom within [-] days. Within two months, I want to see the people in charge, including postmasters from all over the country, gather in the capital."

Seeing that the faces of the officials seemed to be troubled, he immediately shouted: "This is a notice, not a solicitation for your opinions. Can they come to the two to discuss, but if there is a mistake in the process of conveying the government order, one person present will count as one. Everyone must get out!"

Hearing this, the officials under the hall felt tense, and hurriedly said: "Yes, His Royal Highness, we will do our best."

 Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for follow-up reading, daily updates are uninterrupted, thank you very much for your support!
