After making up his mind, Cao Shunhe did not hesitate at all, only to see him summon his subordinates and command in a deep voice.

"Now you go and count how much grain is left in the granary to mobilize!"

"Yes, Governor!"

After listening to Cao Shunhe's instructions, the subordinates did not hesitate for a moment, and soon took the order.

Not long after, the subordinates who had been sent before counted the grain that was currently available for mobilization in Jiangxi and truthfully reported it to Cao Shunhe.

After Cao Shunhe learned the exact number from his subordinates, he immediately supported his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

"At present, there are only 28,000 stones of grain available for mobilization in the province?"

"No matter what, no matter what, when this batch of grain arrives, it should be able to alleviate Zhejiang's current urgent needs."

"As long as this batch of grain can last until the local mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang mature, all the problems will be solved!"

Thinking of this, Cao Shunhe turned his gaze to the previous subordinate, and immediately commanded.

"Pass on the official's order, all the grain that can be mobilized at present will be loaded onto the ship, and then immediately transported to Zhejiang!"

After listening to Cao Shunhe's order, a look of hesitation appeared on the subordinate's face, and he was bold enough to admonish Cao Shunhe.

"Patrol ...... Your Excellency the Governor, didn't the Household Department already issue a corresponding notice to you not to transfer food without authorization? You're ...... now"

Before the subordinate finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Cao Shunhe: "Where is so much nonsense, are you in charge of the household department, or are you in charge of this official?" ”

The subordinate saw that the expression on Cao Shunhe's face became cold, and his tone was full of impatience, so he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Lord Governor said that you are the top boss of the lower official, how can the lower official disobey your orders?" ”

"As long as you give an order, even if you go up to the Sword Mountain and go down to the Sea of Fire, the lower officials will never frown!"

Hearing this, Cao Shunhe did not make any comment, but continued to add.

"Don't worry, if something happens, the official will take care of it alone, you just have to do it!"

"Yes, Governor!"

After getting Cao Shunhe's promise, the subordinate immediately relieved his heart and immediately responded in a deep voice.

After this subordinate left, only Cao Shunhe was left in the room, and after that, I saw him spread out his pen and paper and write a reply to Hu Zongxian.

"Brother Ruzhen, I have received the letter you sent earlier, and at present, there are 28,000 stones of grain available for mobilization here in Jiangxi."

"I have sent someone to load the grain on the ship immediately, if nothing happens, in about three days, the grain will be transported to Zhejiang in batches, and I hope Brother Ruzhen does not have to worry!"

When the last word fell, Cao Shun and the whole person couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then put the brush in his hand back to its original position, and after the ink on the paper was dry, Cao Shunhe called his cronies and admonished.

"You must hand this letter into Hu Zongxian's hands, and no one can pass through anyone's hands in the middle, understand?"

"Yes, Governor, I will deliver the letter!"

I saw that the cronie carefully put the envelope away, and then made a promise to Cao Shunhe.

"Well, stay safe on the road!"

Cao Shunhe looked at the back of this cronie who was about to leave, and couldn't help but remind.

"Thank you, little one, Lord Governor!"

I saw that the cronie suddenly paused, turned around, and said respectfully.

Soon, Cao Shunhe's order to transfer grain was passed down through officials at all levels.

The officials in charge of the grain began to count where the grain should be transferred from, and how many ships would be needed to load the grain of 28,000 stones, and began to plan the route for transporting the grain.

Such a big movement naturally can't hide the eyeliner that Xu Jie laid in Jiangxi in order to be safe.

"You immediately tell Xu Ge Lao and them the news, without any delay!"

"In addition, tell them that everything is according to the previous plan, and this batch of grain must not be allowed to arrive in Zhejiang smoothly!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

After rushing around the clock, the cronie who was in charge of delivering the letter finally arrived in Zhejiang a day later.

At this moment, in the study of the Governor's Palace.

Ever since Hu Zongxian sent someone to send the letter, the whole person has been in a state of worry, and no one knows better than him the risks involved.

If the time comes, the court will track it down, and it will be a trivial matter to lose your official position and abandon your post, and what you are most afraid of is being labeled as a party for personal gain!

And once this big hat is buckled, not only will Cao Shun and this person's career be completely ruined, but even he himself will be punished extremely severely.

"Alas, I hope that when the time comes, the teacher will be able to come forward to protect Cao Shunhe after seeing the letter I wrote to him!"

Just as Hu Zongxian was still thinking about this matter and what he might do, a knock from outside the door pulled him back to reality.

I saw Hu Zongxian's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately ordered.

"Come in!"

As the words fell, I saw a guard from the Governor's Palace walk in, his face full of respect, and immediately reported.

"Your Excellency the Governor, according to your previous instructions, at this moment, the envoys have arrived at the Governor's Mansion one after another, and are now waiting in the council hall!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and then got up from his seat and spoke.

"Well, this official will go over right away!"

After that, I saw Hu Zongxian walking towards the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion with a steady pace.

"Alas, what can I do now, the food in the warehouse is getting less and less, and it can't last long!"

In the conference hall, I saw Zheng Michang retracting his gaze after looking around, his face full of helplessness.

"There's no way, let's boil it again, besides, before this, hasn't the governor already personally written a letter to Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, we just need to wait for the result with peace of mind!"

He Maocai, who was on the side, heard this, and immediately comforted him.

At this moment, I saw Hu Zongxian step into the meeting hall, and when everyone saw this, they hurriedly got up from their seats and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the Governor!" ”

Seeing this, Hu Zongxian waved his hand quite casually and ordered: "Sit, sit!" ”

After everyone sat back in their seats, Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Zheng Michang on the side and asked.

"What is the current situation, and how long can the grain in the warehouse last?"

As soon as Hu Zongxian's words fell, Zheng Michang responded without thinking: "Your Excellency, since the last time the government issued another relief grain, the current situation is quite stable!" ”

When Zheng Michang said this, he suddenly changed his words, and then said cautiously: "It's just that the remaining grain in the warehouse can last for eighteen days at most, if there is still no grain after eighteen days......

Zheng Michang didn't go on, but everyone present understood what Zheng Michang was trying to express.

If, eighteen days later, there is still no grain arriving in Zhejiang, then the change from rice to mulberry will officially be declared a failure.

When the time comes, everyone will be to blame, and they will all have to end up miserable!

Hu Zongxian saw that everyone's mood was a little low, and after being silent for a while, he immediately spoke comfortingly.

"Don't worry, before this, this official has already written a letter of help to Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, and he should be able to receive a reply by tomorrow at the latest!"
