I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 442
Not too long passed, and soon, Tan Lun followed the footsteps of the guards and met the man who claimed to be sent by Hu Zongxian in the hall of the government office.

Seeing Tan Lun's arrival, the visitor seemed quite cautious. After saluting Tan Lun respectfully, he immediately took out the letter from his arms carefully, and handed the envelope to Tan Lun with both hands, saying respectfully.

"I have seen the governor!"

When Tan Lun heard the words, he did not take the letter in a hurry, but immediately asked.

"Is this the letter your lord asked you to submit to me?"

"Yes, Governor!"

After getting a positive answer from the visitor, Tan Lun just took the envelope from the visitor in a leisurely manner.

After Tan Lun took the envelope, seeing the unconcealable tiredness on the visitor's face, he immediately gave instructions.

"Okay, the officer has received the letter, you go down and rest first!"

When the visitor heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and he immediately responded.

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

After that, the visitor left the hall under the leadership of the guards, and Tan Lun also returned to the study.

After closing the door of the study room, Tan Lun opened the envelope in his hand and began to browse the contents. The contents of the letter were.

"Brother Zili, brother Yu took the liberty to write a letter to bother me, please don't blame me. The current situation in Zhejiang is really not optimistic!"

"Before this, the grains in the hands of those mulberry farmers in Zhejiang who had been converting rice to mulberry were bought by unknown people at high prices, which led to the lack of enough grain in the hands of those mulberry farmers to support the mulberry seedlings to mature."

"Right now, the remaining grain in the local granary in Zhejiang can only last for about ten days. If no grain arrives in Zhejiang after ten days, those mulberry farmers will suffer!"

"At that time, at least half of the people in Zhejiang will end up starving and dying everywhere, selling their children and selling their daughters. As their parents and officials, Brother Yu really can't bear to see such a scene."

"Therefore, brother Yu implore you to transfer food from Fujian as soon as possible to save those people, brother Yu will be very grateful!"

At the end of the letter, there is another sentence added in a hurry: "If the court finds out, I, Hu Zongxian, will bear all the responsibilities!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Tan Lun couldn't help being silent for a long time. At this moment, he was also deeply touched by the determination shown in the letter by Hu Zongxian.

After a long time, Tan Lun came back to his senses, put the letter in his hand aside, and said to himself silently: "My lord governor, it seems that your majesty's evaluation of you earlier is correct. You are loyal to the country and serve the people wholeheartedly!"

"Even if His Majesty didn't write me that letter, I, Tan Lun, will definitely try my best to help!"

After expressing his emotions, Tan Lun immediately sat in front of the desk, spread out the pen and paper, and wrote a reply.

"Your Excellency, your letter has been received!"

"To be honest, as early as two days ago, His Majesty sent someone to send a letter to the official, asking the official to go to Zhejiang to adjust the grain immediately. After receiving the letter, the official did not dare to delay , sent people to ship [-] shi of grain overnight."

When Tan Lun wrote this, he paused, as if he was considering his language. After a while, Tan Lun started to write again.

"As of the moment when the lower officer receives your letter, the food convoy has already set off for two days. Therefore, Mr. Governor, you don't have to worry, just wait for the food to arrive in peace!"

After the last word fell, Tan Lun put the brush in his hand aside, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, Tan Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, after the ink on the paper was dry, Tan Lun put the letter into an envelope, called his subordinates, and ordered.

"Give my reply letter to the person who sent the letter before, and let him take the reply letter back!"

When the subordinate heard the words, his expression immediately turned serious, and he responded respectfully.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After taking the letter from Tan Lun, he didn't stop there, but turned and left the study.

Looking at the back of his subordinate leaving, Tan Lun sighed helplessly and said slowly.

"Hey, I hope there will be time in time!"

……

As night fell, Prince Yu's Mansion, study room.

Since the cabinet discussions during the day were over, Xu Jie summoned everyone to the study of Prince Yu's Mansion to discuss the next countermeasures together for the sake of safety.

In Xu Jie's view, he is only one step away from the final victory!

At present, if Zhejiang wants to obtain food, there are only two ways to go. One is to wait for the imperial court to adjust grain, and the other is to adjust grain from neighboring Zhejiang provinces. This first road has been completely blocked by Xu Jie. , As for the remaining road, it is also full of thorns.

First of all, among the many provinces adjacent to Zhejiang, only Jiangxi and Fujian have surplus grain for mobilization.

Needless to say about Fujian, the governor of Fujian, Tan Lun, is a veritable member of the Qingliu faction, and the two sides have a natural hostility in their positions, and because of this, Xu Jie is very relieved of Tan Lun.

As for the Jiangxi side, Xu Jie had also made sufficient preparations in advance. Through various means, the Jiangxi governor Cao Shunhe was too busy to take care of himself, which greatly delayed the progress of grain transportation to Zhejiang.

"You only need to survive this period of time, and you will be able to see the last light!"

Xu Jie thought so, and after looking around, he turned his gaze to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng aside, and asked.

"What do you think of Yan Song's proposal during the day?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Gao Gong at the side immediately responded with words.

"Well, it's a very subtle idea. He Yan Song actually thought of making a fuss about the newspaper. It's really not to be underestimated!"

When Gao Gong said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add.

"In addition, there is also an unclear relationship between Liuxinju and the Yan family. As far as I know, Zhao Cunyi, the owner of Liuxinju, has reached an agreement with Yan Shifan. Seventy percent."

After listening to Gao Gong's narration, Zhang Juzheng on the side also added.

"Thirty to seventy cents, the Liuxinju pickles in the capital are quite popular right now. For this item alone, his Yan family can get at least 10 taels of silver from it!"

"Everyone, don't forget that His Majesty has entrusted this task to Yan Song!"

"At that time, Yan Song will hold an auction in the same way that the Department of Maritime Trade previously issued the sea-going certificate. At that time, merchants in the entire capital will participate in it."

"After going through the whole process, Yan Song can not only gain His Majesty's favor, but also benefit from it along the way."

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's analysis, Xu Jie couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to watch the whole process!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study, which attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Zaixi frowned, and immediately explained to everyone.

"Before this, Gu has already told you not to approach the study if there is nothing important to do!"

"So something must have happened!"

After explaining to everyone, Zhu Zaixi immediately gave instructions.

"Come in!"

After the voice fell, there was only a "squeak", the door of the room was pushed open, and a servant came in.

As soon as the servant entered the room, while taking out the letter from his arms, he looked in the direction of Xu Jie and said respectfully.

"Old Xu Ge, this is a letter from your steward!"
