Chapter 320: The Government Has Issued Land!

"Yes, that's great!"

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

"In this way, if the people have land in their hands, it will only take two or three years at most for Fujian to completely recover its vitality and pay taxes."

Tan Lunxuan pressed down his inner thoughts, summoned his cronies, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Call the political envoys, the probationary envoys and other officials to the government office, and the official has something important to announce!"

"Yes, sir."

After receiving specific instructions, Tan Lun's cronies left the government office without stopping, and conveyed the news to many officials such as the local political envoy and the inspection envoy.

……

In the hall, many officials gathered together, and they discussed word by word.

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

"You say, what is the reason why the governor called us to come to the palace this time?"

"Needless to say, the governor personally led the army to exterminate all the bandits entrenched in my Fujian, which is a monstrous achievement!"

"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 bandits!"

"Is there something big going on?"

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

"Alas, don't worry, you adults, we'll find out later......"

At this moment, I saw Tan Lun walking into the hall with his hands behind his back and leisurely.

Seeing this, those officials who had been waiting here for a long time hurriedly stopped communicating, immediately bowed to Tan Lun, and said in unison.

"I've seen the Governor!"

"Sit, everybody!"

Tan Lun was in a good mood, his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile, and he waved his hand quite casually, so he commanded.

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

"Could it be that the reward from the court has come down?"

With this 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.

"You should all know that the previous official personally led the soldiers to wipe out all the bandits entrenched in my Fujian!"

Seeing Tan Lun like this, those officials stood up from their seats one after another and patted Tan Lun's ass.

"Lord Governor, you can be regarded as getting rid of a major scourge in my Fujian this time, as far as the lower officials know, the local people are all grateful to you and praised!"

"Yes, yes, this time the governor has made such a contribution, presumably there will be a heavy reward on the side of the court!"

"On behalf of the local people in Fujian, thank you!"

Tan Lun was noncommittal about these sycophants, only to see him cough lightly twice, and after signaling everyone to sit back in their respective positions, he spoke.

"In this operation, this official confiscated a total of 23,820,000 taels of silver from this group of local bandits entrenched in Fujian, as well as the landlord and gentry who are related to these bandits, in addition, there are 15,000 acres of land!"

"What!"

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

Since Tan Lun's victorious return, the specific capture of this battle has not been announced.

Before this, many officials present had a rough guess about the specific number in their hearts, but when they really learned the specific number from Tan Lun's mouth, they were inevitably shocked.

"Two thousand three million eight hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, and 15,000 acres of land!"

Recalling these two figures, many officials present could clearly feel that their breathing gradually became short, and the greed in their hearts began to emerge gradually.

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

"By the way, the official forgot to say that these two three million eight hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver had already been transported to the capital through the Grand Canal before this!"

When many officials present heard this, they all gave up their thoughts that they should not have.

But then some officials noticed that the 15,000 acres of land mentioned by Tan Lun earlier, and immediately asked with anticipation.

"Dare to ask, Lord Governor, what ...... What should be done with the remaining 15,000 acres of land? ”

As soon as the words fell, many officials present involuntarily shifted their eyes to Tan Lun, waiting for his answer.

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

"The official plans to distribute all this land to the people who have no land, what do you think?"

"What!"

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

"Your Excellency, no!"

"So much land, just distributed to those people for no reason, isn't this a bad thing?"

Perhaps because he was too angry, he saw the thin and tall official from before stand up, turn his gaze to Tan Lun, who was sitting at the top, and said in a deep voice.

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

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

Then, I saw the tall and thin official kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', turning his gaze to Tan Lun, who was sitting on the top and expressionless, and pleaded.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Majesty will not notice that you have said the wrong thing for a while, and I hope Your Excellency will ......"

It's just that before the official's words were finished, he was coldly interrupted by Tan Lun.

"No, you didn't say the wrong thing at all, what you just said is what you thought in your heart!"

"Besides, you don't need to apologize to this official."

The official saw that Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, had already sentenced himself to death in his heart, and the look in his eyes instantly dimmed, and he no longer spoke, but maintained the previous posture of kneeling on the ground in despair.

Seeing this, the rest of the officials looked at this man with a look of amusement in their eyes, and tried not to show any abnormality in themselves.

After all, one less person can get an extra piece of the pie.

After Tan Lun finished speaking, after looking around, he said sarcastically.

"This official knows 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 don't say what is in your heart."

"Is this the book of the sages you read? Yes! ”

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he swept his gaze over the many officials present one by one.

And those officials may be because of their weak hearts, or for some other reason, no one dares to look at Tan Lun!

Then, I saw Tan Lun retract his gaze, and after sneering, he 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, this is about 15,000 acres of land, and it's not at all that Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, can make a decision alone, and there must be a lot involved!"

"Damn, I was almost blinded by lard, this is a chance to show myself!"

"You know, this Tan Lun has his back to Qingliu, and there is an old platform behind him."

Thinking of this, these officials had a little more flattery in their eyes when they looked at Tan Lun.
