Chapter 401: Letter from Nanjing

Chen Yue returned to the governor's palace in Yangzhou City, and did not directly meet with Liang Huanping, the salt transport envoy, and Ma Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou, but summoned the messenger from Nanjing in the secret room.

The messenger was Liu Neng, the envoy of Jinyiwei, who secretly came to Yangzhou from Nanjing.

"Master Hou!" Seeing Chen Yue, Liu Neng showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Is my father okay?" Chen Yue smiled and nodded, and first asked about his father Chen Jianghe's situation.

"The old marquis is all right, and now he is making every effort to form a brocade guard, and he is very motivated."

Liu Neng's answer made Chen Yue laugh knowingly, his father has always been a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and now he is reused by Chongzhen, and it is understandable that he has burst out with great enthusiasm.

After talking about the family life, Liu Neng introduced the situation in Nanjing to Chen Yue.

Since Chen Yue made such a big move in Yangzhou, the Nanjing ministers were indignant, mostly dissatisfied with Chen Yue's actions, and impeachment was held every day.

"It turns out that His Majesty is quite calm, and all the impeachment twists and turns are left in the middle, but since the chaos in the salt area, the news of the trouble in the stove household and even the attack on Dongtai County has reached Nanjing, His Majesty is very shocked, worried that there will be a large number of thieves like the thieves and thieves, and yesterday morning I convened several ministers and assistants of the cabinet to discuss the matter, I am afraid that in the near future, there will be a question of Hou Ye Your holy decree to come to Yangzhou.

I was worried that Hou Ye was unprepared, so I took a boat to report to Hou Ye by starry night! ”

Liu Nengdao, the dusty and tired face showed his hard work all the way, and he drove more than 200 miles from Nanjing to Yangzhou in one day and night.

"Good work." Chen Yue's casual soothing made Liu Neng excited.

"Serving the Hou Ye is what his subordinates should do!"

Chen Yue smiled and nodded, and his heart was turbulent. He could think of Chongzhen's anger at this time, for Chongzhen, the thief definitely touched his nerves. Since the rebellion of thieves in northern Shaanxi in the second year of Chongzhen, the entire Ming Dynasty has been turned upside down, and Beijing has also been captured by thieves.

Now that I finally came to Nanjing, and when I was preparing to reorganize the society, there was a riot in the heart of the two Huai, and it was the Lianghuai salt area, which was very important to the imperial court's finances, and it was hundreds of miles away from Nanjing.

Of course, now Chongzhen will not do anything to himself no matter what, one is the great contribution he has made, and the other is the strength of his father and son, but Chen Yue doesn't know how long the suspicious Chongzhen's trust in himself can be maintained?

Perhaps, before doing this by yourself, you should communicate with Chongzhen. However, if he had told Chongzhen, Chongzhen would not have agreed with him at all, right?

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" Seeing that Chen Yue had been silent, Liu Neng hurriedly called out.

"Oh, what else? Although. Chen Yue came back to his senses.

"I have a letter from Miss Wan'er here." Liu Neng said and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Yue respectfully.

Chen Yue took it, checked it, and saw that the fire paint on the envelope was intact, so he took out a knife and carefully cut the envelope.

On the white letterhead, there were Wu Wan'er's beautiful and beautiful small characters, Chen Yue took the letter paper and looked at it carefully, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.

In the letter, in addition to greeting Chen Yue and informing her family of the situation, Wu Wan'er reported an important matter, hundreds of thousands of acres of fields under the name of Sihai Commercial Bank have harvested more than 200,000 stone of grain, which has been loaded and set sail and is being sent to Yangzhou.

In addition, the shopkeeper sent to Huguang by the Four Seas Firm reported that with the assistance of He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, the purchase of summer grain in Huguang was very smooth, and at least one million stone of grain could be purchased.

Wu Wan'er also said in the letter that the reason why He Tengjiao was so cooperative was that he hoped that Chen Yue would have the opportunity to speak well in front of the emperor and help him become the governor of Huguang.

He Tengjiao wants to be the governor of Huguang? Chen Yue smiled, this guy has a very strong ability to meet and welcome, and his ability to brag is even greater, but his selfishness is too great, and his ability is not good. However, it seems to be a good thing to have a governor of Huguang who is inclined to himself.

Since He Tengjiao took the initiative to move closer to him, he would have the opportunity to talk to Lu Zhenfei and Qian Qianyi in the future, and it would be okay for him to get what he wanted.

Now that a large amount of grain has been shipped and is about to arrive in Yangzhou, his plan can be carried out smoothly! At this moment, Chen Yue was full of confidence.

Let Liu Neng go to rest first, and then return to Nanjing after he has finished writing a letter to Wu Wan'er, Chen Yue came to the main hall, where Liang Huanping, the salt transport envoy, and Ma Mingming, the prefect of Yangzhou, were waiting.

"Pingnanhou, you can make us wait!" Seeing Chen Yue, Liang Huanping shouted dissatisfied.

He came to the governor's palace yesterday and learned that Chen Yue had gone to the military camp in the north of the city, so he sent someone to the military camp to deliver the letter. Today, I heard that Chen Yue was back, so I came to the Governor's Mansion early to wait, who knew that Chen Yue was back, and he waited for a long time to see people, and the tea was washed three times, which made him quite impatient. Chen Yue is of course the Marquis of Chaopin, the governor of Jiangbei, and Liang Huanping is also a member of the Sanpin, and the official position of the salt transport envoy itself is not under the control of Chen Yue.

Compared with Liang Huanping, although the Yangzhou prefect Ma Zhi was also anxious, he still maintained the etiquette of a subordinate official, and bowed to Chen Yue who came in.

Chen Yue ignored Liang Huanping, walked to the main seat and sat down, and then waved his hand to signal the two to sit down.

"Ben Hou is evaluating the officers of the guard station who came from all over the country, and the two adults hurriedly called me back, but I don't know what happened?" Chen Yue picked up the teacup, blew the duckweed on it, took a sip, and then asked slowly.

Liang Huanping suddenly became angry when he heard this, such a big thing happened, and Chen Yue still acted like no one, which really made him angry. In the final analysis, Chen Yue wanted to meddle in the salt and Huai salt politics because he was greedy, and he blatantly used a knife against the three major salt merchants, but he made him, the salt transport envoy, carry the black pot. Chen Yuegong is a world-class man, and he is a heavy general of the imperial court to resist strong enemies in the north, the emperor and the imperial court will not move him, isn't he the best person to carry the blame, maybe the imperial court's holy decree to depose him is already on the way!

Thinking about his good salt transportation to make this big fat difference, he can get a lot of money every year without bothering, and now Chen Yue has been in Yangzhou for two or three months, and he has forced himself to the edge of the cliff, and Liang Huanping's eyes are red.

"Master Hou, the stove households in the salt district of Tongzhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an, rioted, thousands of stove households surrounded Dongtai County, and the actions of the salt area were extremely dangerous, and the subordinates asked Lord Liang to see the Hou Ye, and I would like to ask the Hou Ye to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Before Liang Huanping left violently, Ma Mingli hurriedly said.
