I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 323 The government issued the land!

"Well, that's great!"

After Tan Lun finished reading the contents of the letter, he slammed the table and said excitedly.

"In this way, with the land in the hands of the people, it only takes two or three years at most for Fujian to fully recover, and the taxation is also settled."

Tan Lunxuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart, summoned his cronies, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Call the chief minister, the procurator, and other officials to the government office. I have important things to announce!"

"Yes, my lord."

Tan Lun's cronies left the government office non-stop after receiving specific instructions, and conveyed the news to the local chief envoy, inspector envoy and many other officials.

……

In the hall, many officials gathered together, discussing each other with each other.

I saw a tall and thin official couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and immediately asked his colleagues on the side.

"You said, why did the Lord Governor call us to come to the government office this time?"

"Does it need to be said, before the Lord Governor personally led the army to wipe out all the bandits entrenched in our Fujian Province, which is a great contribution!"

"I don't know, the last time the governor asked us to gather here, it was to discuss the matter of sending troops to suppress the bandits!"

"Is there something else going to happen?"

Seeing this, the official who was questioned glanced at the tall and thin official and said anxiously.

"Hey, gentlemen, don't worry, we'll find out later..."

At this moment, Tan Lun walked into the hall very leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, the officials who had been waiting here stopped their communication immediately, bowed to Tan Lun, and said in unison.

"I have waited to meet the governor!"

"Sit, everyone sit!"

Tan Lun was in a good mood, with an unstoppable smile on his face, he waved his hand quite casually, and said so.

"It seems that the governor is in a good mood today!"

"Could it be the reward from the imperial court?"

With such thoughts in mind, many officials present breathed a sigh of relief and sat down one after another.

After everyone sat in their seats, Tan Lun nodded and said slowly.

"Everyone should know that I personally led the soldiers to wipe out all the bandits entrenched in Fujian!"

Seeing Tan Lun like this, those officials stood up from their seats one after another, flattering Tan Lun.

"Your Excellency, this time you can be regarded as removing a major disaster in Fujian. As far as I know, the local people are all grateful to you and praise you!"

"Yes, yes, the governor has made such a contribution this time, so there must be a big reward from the imperial court!"

"We represent the local people in Fujian, thank you sir!"

Tan Lun was noncommittal about these sycophants, but he coughed lightly twice, motioning everyone to sit back in their respective positions, before he opened his mouth to speak.

"In this operation, I confiscated a total of 380 taels of silver from this group of bandits entrenched in our local area in Fujian, as well as from the homes of landlords and gentry who were associated with these bandits. In addition, there was another [-] acres of land!"

"what!"

Many officials present gasped after hearing the figures reported by Tan Lun.

Since Tan Lun returned victorious, the details of what was seized in this battle have not been announced.

Before that, many officials present had a rough guess about the specific number in their hearts, but when they actually learned the specific number from Tan Lun, they were inevitably shocked.

"Two thousand three hundred and eighty-two thousand taels of silver, and fifteen thousand acres of land!"

Recalling these two figures, many officials present could clearly feel that their breathing gradually became faster, and their inner greed began to emerge gradually.

Tan Lun seemed to see what these people were thinking, and then added.

"By the way, I forgot to mention that the two thousand three hundred and eighty-two thousand taels of silver have already been transported to the capital via the Grand Canal before this!"

Hearing this, many officials at the scene let go of those thoughts that they shouldn't have.

But then some officials noticed that Tan Lun had mentioned the [-] mu of land, and immediately asked expectantly.

"Dare to ask, Lord Governor, what should we do with the remaining [-] mu of land?"

As soon as the words fell, many officials present could not help turning their eyes to Tan Lun, waiting for his answer.

Under everyone's gaze, Tan Lun picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip before continuing.

"I plan to distribute these lands to those people who have no land. What do you think?"

"what!"

Hearing Tan Lun's words, the faces of many officials present were full of astonishment, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Lord governor, no!"

"Isn't it a waste of such a lot of land to be distributed to those troublesome people for no reason?"

Perhaps because of being too angry, the tall and thin official from before stood up, turned his gaze to Tan Lun who was sitting above him, and said in a deep voice.

After he said these words without reservation, he successfully gained the contempt of many colleagues present.

"Idiot, even if you really think so in your heart, you can't say it!"

Afterwards, the tall and thin official knelt on the ground with a 'plop', turned his gaze to Tan Lun who was sitting on the head with a blank face, and begged.

"Your Excellency Governor, I'm an official, I didn't notice that I said something wrong for a while, I still hope that my lord..."

It's just that before the official finished speaking, Tan Lun interrupted him coldly.

"No, you didn't say anything wrong at all. What you said just now are all in your mind!"

"Besides, you don't need to apologize to me."

Seeing that Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, had already sentenced himself to death in his heart, the official's eyes dimmed instantly, and he didn't speak anymore, just maintaining the previous posture of kneeling on the ground in a daze.

Seeing this, the remaining officials looked at this person with mockery in their eyes, and tried their best not to show any strangeness.

After all, one less person can get more share of the pie.

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he looked around and said mockingly.

"I know that in this room, there are many people who think like him!"

"It's just that you are not as stupid as him, and you didn't speak out what was in your heart."

"Is this the sage book you read? Ah!"

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he glanced over the many officials present one by one.

But none of those officials dared to meet Tan Lun's gaze, perhaps because of guilty conscience or other reasons!
Afterwards, Tan Lun looked away, sneered, and continued to add.

"Do you think that this kind of thing can be decided by the official alone?"

At this moment, many officials present reacted, and their hearts were full of fear.

"That's right, it involves [-] mu of land. It's not something Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, can decide on alone. There must be a lot involved!"

"Damn it, I was almost fooled by the lard, this is an opportunity to express myself!"

"You know, this Tan Lun is backed by Qingliu, and behind him is the Old Pavilion platform."

Thinking of this, these officials looked at Tan Lun with a hint of flattery.
