I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 169 Tan Lun I'm Sorry, I'm an Undercover Agent
Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

Since Lu Fang received Jiajing's order last time, asking him to send someone to thoroughly investigate whether the tax reduction and exemption for the people in Zhejiang has been implemented, he has non-stop dispatched elite members of Jinyiwei to Zhejiang to investigate.

"My lord, where should we start to investigate next?"

"Don't worry, it's time to collect the land tax in two days, and everything will come to light by then!"

"By the way, we only investigate whether the tax reduction and exemption for the people are in place, and don't ask about the rest! Do you understand?"

Perhaps because he felt a little uneasy, the officer exhorted his subordinates like this.

"My lord, don't worry, I understand the rules."

"Well, it's good to understand, and it's best not to make any trouble for me when the time comes!"

……

At this time, the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang Province.

Hu Zongxian called everyone together and asked about the progress of the matter.

"I asked you to go down to prepare earlier, how are you preparing?"

Hu Zongxian sat at the head, and asked after looking around.

"Teacher, the government has already made corresponding preparations, and the specific list has been distributed to the subordinate staff responsible for tax collection!"

Ma Ningyuan stood up first and responded.

"Well, well done."

Hu Zongxian was quite satisfied with Ma Ningyuan's current progress, nodded and said.

"Aren't you two very familiar with that Shen Yishi? What does he say?"

Hu Zongxian then turned his gaze to Zheng Michang and He Maocai and asked.

"Your Excellency, that Shen Yishi dare not have the slightest complaint about the government's decision! He also promised that after three days, he will double the part of the previously concealed land tax."

Zheng Michang got up from his seat and reported to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, that's fine too."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"That, my lord governor..."

Zheng Michang hesitated with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Say what you have to say, don't dawdle!"

Hu Zongxian glanced at Zheng Michang, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, the two of us are not familiar with Shen Yishi, and it's usually just some official contacts."

Cowardly, Zheng Michang said this to Hu Zongxian.

"Oh, really?"

Hu Zongxian had a panoramic view of the expression on Zheng Michang's face, and asked a question.

"Your Excellency, we really have nothing to do with that Shen Yishi, we just know each other!"

Seeing this situation, He Maocai immediately stood up from his seat and explained.

"Forget it, since you said it's okay, then it's okay."

Hu Zongxian didn't know what these two people were thinking, so he waved his hands immediately, saying that he didn't pursue it.

"Thank you, Governor! Thank you, Governor!"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian was going to expose the matter, Zheng Michang and He Maocai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded with gratitude.

"During this period of time, you should give me more time to change the rice into mulberry, understand?"

Hu Zongxian looked at the two of them and continued.

"Understand, understand, Governor, don't worry!"

"It's not your business to change rice into mulberry. If something goes wrong, everyone will be responsible!"

Seeing this, Zheng Michang quickly flattered him.

"Well, it's good that you know."

"By the way, Ma Ningyuan, when the time comes, let those subordinate officials who collect land taxes restrain themselves. If they dare to use the old tricks, I will never let you go lightly! Do you understand?"

"Teacher, the students will give orders later."

Hearing Hu Zongxian's advice, Ma Ningyuan nodded in response.

"Okay, that's it, I still have things to do later."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and said slowly.

"My lord governor, I will take my leave now."

After everyone finished speaking, they got up from their seats and left the meeting hall.

……

In Fujian, Tan Lun is currently handling official business in the government office.

Since he sent the letter through Hu Zongxian's channel last time, he has been looking forward to a reply, and in the process, Qingliu sent him several related letters.

After thinking for a long time, Tan Lun finally chose to deal with it temporarily.

'咚咚咚' came a knock on the door from outside.

Seeing that the thoughts in his mind were disturbed, Tan Lun frowned unobtrusively, and said in a deep voice.

"Come in!"

After hearing a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Tan Lun's bodyguard came in.

Seeing that it was his personal bodyguard, most of Tan Lun's resentment due to being disturbed by his thoughts dissipated, and then asked: "What's the matter? Did you reply to the letter?"

Hearing this, Tan Lun's bodyguard knelt down on the ground and said in a low voice, "Report to the governor, here is your majesty's reply."

After Tan Lun's bodyguard finished speaking, he took out the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Tan Lun respectfully.

"Well, you don't have anything to do here for the time being, you go down first."

After Tan Lun took the envelope from the personal guard, he ordered.

"Yes, Lord Governor, this subordinate will retire now!"

After Tan Lun's bodyguard cupped his hands, he left the room and closed the door behind him.

After Tan Lun was alone in the room, he opened the envelope nervously.

The above content is very little, only a short sentence.

"I already know what Ai Qing said before! Act according to the contents of the letter first, and if you have any questions, you can report them directly to me."

After Tan Lun read the above content, he tightly clutched the letter paper in his hand, with an excited expression on his face.

There is no other reason. Ever since Tan Lun decided to stand firmly on His Majesty's side, he has been fighting alone for a long time without any support.

Right now, the emperor's reply letter is telling Tan Lun bluntly that you will be my man from now on, work hard, and I will support you behind!
May I ask, in the entire Ming Dynasty, who had thighs thicker than the emperor?
After calming down, Tan Lun began to sort out the meaning conveyed by Jiajing in the letter.

"Your Majesty means, first let me do what Mr. Xu Ge and the others want! Then secretly observe their every move and report to His Majesty."

Tan Lun pinched his chin, thinking so.

"By the way, why did His Majesty give me the same privileges as Governor Hu? Does Governor Hu have the same responsibilities as me? He is responsible for monitoring the strict party, and I am responsible for monitoring Qingliu's side."

The more Tan Lun thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little creepy in his heart.

"It turns out that all of this is under His Majesty's control! Didn't His Majesty know everything that happened before?"

The more Tan Lun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He immediately stopped his thoughts, called the guards outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "Call them all to the government office, I have something important to announce!"

"Yes, Lord Governor, this subordinate will go now."

After receiving Tan Lun's order, the guard left quickly.

After a while, all the officials summoned by Tan Lun arrived in the government office.

I saw Tan Lun pacing out of the back hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the many officials below, and said loudly: "Today, I have asked you to come here because I have an extremely important matter to announce!"

"Governor, please tell me, the lower officials must be so heartbroken that they will die!"

"Yes, yes, the governor just needs to give orders."

"Governor, please give an order! Even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, the lower officials will never frown."

Tan Lun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, the next thing I want to announce is to wipe out the bandits in Fujian Province!"

"what!"

When the officials heard this, their faces were full of astonishment.
