Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Governor's Palace.

At night, just as Hu Zongxian was still dealing with the backlog of official business in the Governor's Mansion in recent days, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Hu Zongxian's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he spoke.

"Your Excellency the Governor, here is a letter sent by Elder Yan Ge personally!"

As he spoke, he took out a letter raft from his bosom and respectfully handed it over to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, the official knows, you go down first."

Hu Zongxian took the letter, and then spoke.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

When the visitor saw that his mission to deliver the letter had been accomplished, he respectfully withdrew and closed the door with him.

"I don't know what the teacher sent me in the letter?"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he opened the letter and began to carefully read the contents on it.

After reading the contents of the letter for a long time, Hu Zongxian breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to the daily greetings, the most important thing in the letter is to let him temporarily slow down the progress of changing rice to mulberry, and no longer have to be so anxious! ”

"Huh~ It's okay to do this, the people can also suffer a little less!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he put the envelope aside and continued to deal with the rest of his official business.

……

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Hu Zongxian ordered the guards to summon everyone to the hall of the governor's palace, and he had something to announce.

For Hu Zongxian's order, everyone did not dare to disobey it in the slightest, and soon, everyone rushed to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion one after another to wait.

I saw Hu Zongxian pacing briskly and walked into the meeting hall of the Governor's Palace.

"I've seen the Governor!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian coming, everyone got up from their seats and saluted him respectfully.

"Sit, sit! The official called everyone over today, because there are two things I want to announce to you. ”

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he sat on the top, swept his eyes from everyone one by one, and said slowly.

"Please speak up, Lord Governor!"

Seeing this, Zheng Michang, who was on the side, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and said so.

Hu Zongxian did not directly answer Zheng Michang's question, but turned to look at Ma Ningyuan and asked, "At present, in the whole of Zhejiang, how is the progress of changing rice to mulberry?" ”

Seeing Hu Zongxian's question, Ma Ningyuan hurriedly got up from the chair, and after recalling for a while, he gave an answer.

"Teacher, at present, about thirty percent of the land in Zhejiang has been replanted with mulberry seedlings! I believe that the original goal will be achieved soon. ”

"Teacher, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Ma Ningyuan was quite surprised that Hu Zongxian suddenly asked about the progress of changing rice to mulberry.

After listening to Ma Ningyuan's report, Hu Zongxian nodded, and then looked at everyone.

"The first thing this official wants to say is this!"

"Just last night, Yan Ge sent a letter to the official, explaining in the letter that the progress of changing rice to mulberry can be temporarily slowed down!"

"In addition, after the first batch of raw silk comes out, the government is not allowed to buy it at half price! If necessary, it can even be acquired at a premium. ”

"That's all there is to the letter, what do you think?"

After roughly repeating the contents of the letter, Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to everyone and asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Lower Officials think this is a good thing! In this way, the government will also have more time to slowly guide the people to plant mulberry trees. ”

After Gao Hanwen learned the news from Hu Zongxian's mouth, he got up from his chair excitedly.

"Well, this official thinks so too, in this way, it can also make the people suffer less! As long as the people see that this is profitable, at that time, they will take the initiative to plant mulberry trees without the compulsion of the government. ”

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

After Hu Zongxian put down the teacup and looked around, he continued.

"The second thing this official wants to say is related to Zhao Zhenji, the minister sent by the imperial court!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian mention Zhao Zhenji, everyone present couldn't help but start to get nervous, and their hearts also raised their throats.

In the eyes of everyone, this Zhao Zhenji was ordered by the emperor to come to Zhejiang to investigate thoroughly, and the imperial court did not reduce or reduce taxes for the people!

As the minister of the Qin Mission, Zhao Zhenji naturally has the power to cut first and then play, and everyone present also inquired from various channels about His Majesty's attitude after learning about this matter.

Your Majesty let the civil and military officials of the capital kneel outside the Palace of Heart Cultivation until dark!

Hu Zongxian took in the expressions of everyone present, and after coughing lightly, he continued.

"According to the exact news, at the latest tomorrow, Zhao Zhenji, the minister sent by His Majesty, will arrive in Zhejiang!"

"What? So fast! ”

After learning the news, Zheng Michang suddenly stood up from his chair, his face full of panic.

"It's over, it's all over! What if this minister didn't say a word and started to take people directly! ”

He Maocai on the side was also like Zheng Michang, and his face was also full of panic.

"Your Excellency, save us! If this minister is held accountable, we will be completely finished. ”

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian, his face full of pleading.

"Yes, please save my life, Lord Governor!"

After Zheng Michang, He Maocai also asked Hu Zongxian for so.

"Look at your little bit of interest, the minister hasn't come yet, and you are scared half to death!"

Hu Zongxian took his eyes off the two of them and scolded angrily.

"So, the Governor has a way to deal with it?"

After listening to Hu Zongxian's words, Zheng Michang's eyes also burned, called the flame of hope.

"The matter has come to this point, where is the official to deal with it, I just hope that this minister sent down by His Majesty can raise his noble hand!"

"You two, don't give me any crooked ideas in the meantime! If you accidentally anger the minister, everyone will have to walk around without food, understand? ”

Hu Zongxian was not at ease with Zheng Michang and He Maocai, and then said a few words.

"Don't worry, Governor, we'll follow your instructions!"

"Yes, you say east, we will not go west! You said that we will never go to the sea of fire! ”

……

"Quanzhou is ahead, we are about to arrive!"

When Yang Zongtai looked at the city that was haunted by dreams and was very familiar not far away, his face was full of excitement, and then he involuntarily increased his volume.

And the wife in the carriage was also relieved when she learned the news, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"We're finally back."

"yes, we're finally back! To tell you the truth, during Nan Zhili's tenure, the husband often dreamed of this scene, but he didn't expect that now, it has really become a reality. ”

"Thinking back to the previous days when I was the Taifu Temple in Nanzhili, it was like having a nightmare."

Yang Zongtai looked at the familiar scenery around him and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, I saw a team of officials rushing out of Quanzhou City, and along with them, there were also the people in Quanzhou City, a large area of Wuyang, and there was no end in sight.

Immediately, the group of officers stopped less than ten paces away from the carriage.

Soon, the leading official arched his hand at Yang Zongtai and said respectfully.

"I've seen Lord Zhixian later!"

"You're here to pick up the official?"

Yang Zongtai was quite surprised by this, and immediately asked.

"Yes, Lord Zhixian! Since I learned that you were transferred back to Quanzhou, the people have been looking forward to it, counting the days every day, and now, I finally look forward to you back! ”

Perhaps to confirm that what the official said was true, the rest of the people also knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

"I'm waiting to welcome the magistrate!"

Yang Zongtai seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, arched his hand to everyone present, and said in a deep voice.

"This official is here, thank you!"

Subsequently, surrounded by the people at the scene, Yang Zongtai's carriage entered Quanzhou City.
