Time didn't pass too long, and soon, Tan Lun followed the footsteps of the guards and met the person who claimed to be sent by Hu Zongxian in the hall of the mansion.

Seeing Tan Lun's arrival, the visitor looked quite restrained, and after saluting Tan Lun respectfully, he immediately carefully took out the letter in his arms, and handed the envelope to Tan Lun with both hands, and said respectfully.

"I've seen the Governor!"

When Tan Lun heard this, he didn't take the letter in a hurry, but immediately asked.

"This is the letter that your lord asked you to hand to this official?"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving a positive reply from the visitor, Tan Lun took the envelope from the visitor's hand unhurriedly.

After Tan Lun took the envelope, he looked at the tiredness on the face of the person who came and couldn't hide it, and immediately commanded.

"Okay, the official 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, Governor!"

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

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

"Brother Zili, the foolish brother took the liberty to write a letter to disturb, and I hope you don't blame it, at present, the situation in Zhejiang is really not optimistic!"

"Because before this, the grain in the hands of the local mulberry farmers in Zhejiang who changed rice to mulberry was purchased by unknown people at a high price, resulting in the fact that there was not enough grain in the hands of those mulberry farmers to support the maturity of mulberry seedlings."

"At present, the remaining grain in the local granary in Zhejiang can only last for about ten days, if there is no grain to arrive in Zhejiang after ten days, those mulberry farmers will suffer!"

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

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

At the end of the letter, there was a hastily added sentence: "If the court investigates it at that time, all the responsibility will be borne by me, Hu Zongxian!" ”

After Tan Lun read the content of the letter, he couldn't help but be silent for a long time, and at this moment, he was also deeply touched by Hu Zongxian's determination in the letter.

After a long time, I saw Tan Lun come back to his senses, put the letter in his hand aside, and said to himself silently: "Your Excellency Governor, it seems that Your Majesty's previous evaluation of you is not wrong at all, you are loyal to the country and dedicated to the people!" ”

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

After finishing his feelings, Tan Lun immediately sat down in front of the bookcase, spread out the pen and paper, and wrote a reply.

"Your Excellency, your letter has been received!"

"To tell you the truth, as early as two days ago, Your Majesty sent someone to send a letter to Xiaguan, asking Xiaguan to immediately transfer grain to Zhejiang, and after receiving the letter, Xiaguan did not dare to delay in the slightest, and sent someone to load 18,000 stone of grain on the ship overnight."

Tan Lun paused when he wrote this, as if he was considering the language, and after a while, I saw Tan Lun pick up the pen again.

"As of the moment the lower official received your letter, the fleet transporting the grain has already been on departure for two days, so you don't have to worry, your Excellency Governor, you just need to wait for the food to arrive!"

When 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 paper into the envelope, and then called his subordinates and commanded.

"Give the official's reply to the person who came to deliver the letter before, and let him bring it back with him!"

When the subordinate heard this, his expression immediately turned grim and he responded respectfully.

"Yes, Governor!"

After taking the letter from Tan Lun's hand, he didn't stop at all, but turned around and left the study.

Tan Lun looked at the back of his subordinates leaving, sighed helplessly, and said slowly.

"Alas, I hope that in time, it can be in time!"

……

Night falls, Yuwang Mansion, study.

Since the end of the cabinet deliberations during the day, Xu Jie, for the sake of safety, summoned everyone to the study of Yuwang's Mansion to discuss the next countermeasures.

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

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

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

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

On the Jiangxi side, Xu Jie also made full preparations in advance, and through various means, Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe was too busy to take care of himself, thus greatly delaying the progress of transporting grain to Zhejiang.

"We only need to survive this time to see the last light!"

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

"What do you think of the proposal that Yan Song made during the day?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Gao Gong on the side immediately followed up with his words.

"Well, it's a very subtle idea, he Yan Song can actually think of making a fuss about the newspaper, it's really not to be underestimated!"

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

"In addition, the Liuxinju and the Yan family also have an unclear relationship, as far as I know, Zhao Cunyi, the boss of the Liuxinju, reached an agreement with Yan Shifan, and the two sides will divide the income of the Liuxinju into three or seven."

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

"Thirty or seven points, the Liuxinju pickles in the capital right now are quite popular, just this one, his Yan family can share at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from it!"

"Don't forget, Your Majesty has put this errand in the hands of Yan Song!"

"When the time comes, Yan Song will hold an auction in the same way that the previous Maritime Trade Division issued a certificate for going to sea, and at that time, merchants throughout the capital will participate in it."

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

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

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to keep an eye on the whole process!"

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

Seeing this, Zhu Zaikun frowned, and immediately explained to everyone.

"Before this, Lone had already told me not to go near the study if there was nothing important!"

"So, something must have happened!"

After explaining to everyone, Zhu Zaikun immediately spoke.

"Come in!"

As the words fell, there was only a 'squeak', and the door to the room was pushed open, only to see a slave enter.

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

"Elder Xu Ge, this is a letter from your housekeeper!"
