After giving instructions to the guards, Hu Zongxian sat back down in front of the bookcase and began to continue to deal with the business that had not been completed before.

Just as Hu Zongxian picked up the brush and was about to annotate the official document in front of him, he only listened to Zheng Michang's shouts from outside the study.

"Great thing, Lord Governor, ship, ship is coming!"

"What!"

Hu Zongxian was shocked by the news brought by Zheng Michang, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

And during the time when Hu Zongxian was stunned, none of the brushes in his hands were held steady, and they fell on the official document in front of him with a 'click', forming a small stain.

Hu Zongxian came back to his senses and hurriedly removed the brush from the official document, but it was too late, and the words in the place where the brush fell before had become blurred.

After that, I saw Zheng Michang's anxious steps and entered the study of the Governor's Palace, and as soon as he entered the study of the Governor's Palace, he reported to Hu Zongxian without thinking.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's a great thing, not long ago, those subordinates who had been sent to the dock to keep an eye on the dock came back to report that there were several large ships transporting grain that had arrived at the dock!"

When Hu Zongxian learned the news from Zheng Michang's mouth, the whole person was still in a trance, and immediately asked.

"What did you just say, say it again!"

Although Zheng Michang felt quite strange about Hu Zongxian's request, he still repeated what he had said before.

And this time, Hu Zongxian's reaction was obviously much greater than before, I saw that his face was full of smiles, stroked his beard, and said loudly: "Haha, okay, good, in this way, those Sannong in Zhejiang will be saved!" ”

When Hu Zongxian said this, he shifted his gaze to Zheng Michang again, and asked.

"By the way, is this grain transported from Jiangxi?"

Hearing this, Zheng Michang's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and after thinking for a long time, he immediately replied.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the lower officials still don't know where the grain came from, and after getting the news, the lower officials came to report to you non-stop, so they didn't verify this aspect......

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the matter, and immediately ordered.

"You immediately send someone to store all the grain transported into the granary, and at the same time ask Ma Ningyuan to post a notice over there, telling those Sangnons that the government is about to distribute relief food for them!"

When Zheng Michang heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded without thinking.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Just as Zheng Michang was about to leave, he saw a guard hurriedly run into the study and report to Hu Zongxian.

"Your Excellency Governor, the man you sent to deliver the letter earlier has returned, and according to him, he also brought a letter from Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian!"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he paused suddenly, his face was full of incredulity, and he said to himself silently: "Could it be that all these grains in front of me were sent by Tan Lun?" ”

Hu Zongxian seemed to see what Zheng Michang was thinking, and immediately turned his gaze to the guard, and commanded.

"Let him come to see the official immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

The guards quickly took the order and left, and after a while, they saw the cronie who had been sent by Hu Zongxian to deliver the letter enter the study.

As soon as he entered the study, he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Governor, the little one is fortunate to be dishonored, and the letter has been successfully delivered to Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian!"

When the cronie said this, he immediately took out the envelope from his arms, handed it to Hu Zongxian, and said respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this letter is from Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, and I have entrusted the little one to bring it to you!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, after receiving the letter, he immediately said unhurriedly: "Well, I've worked hard for you. ”

"Where, being able to serve the Governor is a blessing that many people can't ask for, and the small ones are just doing what they should do."

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and immediately commanded.

"Well, okay, let's go down!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After the cronie left, Hu Zongxian did not want to avoid Zheng Michang, and immediately opened the envelope in his hand and began to browse the contents on it, only to see that it was written.

"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."

"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!"

After Hu Zongxian read the contents of the letter from beginning to end, he put the letter aside, with a look of sudden realization on his face, and said to himself silently.

"I see, all this is in the hands of Your Majesty, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zheng Michang, who was on the side, took in the look of sudden realization on Hu Zongxian's face, and was even more curious about the content of the letter.

Hu Zongxian seemed to see what Zheng Michang was thinking, and only after putting away the letter did he explain.

"Well, the current grain is transported from Fujian!"

Seeing that the guess in his heart was confirmed, Zheng Michang's face suddenly appeared in shock, and he subconsciously said: "But that Tan Lun is from Qingliu's side, how could he ......?"

It's just that before Zheng Michang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Hu Zongxian's words.

"Sometimes, the position is not important, this is the way things are in the world, you have me, I have you, things are good here, bad things are bad here!"

When Hu Zongxian said this, he turned his gaze to Zheng Bichang, and then added.

"You might as well think about it, what should we do if Tan Lun didn't send these grains?"

Zheng Michang continued to think about Hu Zongxian's train of thought, and immediately, the picture that appeared in his mind made him shudder.

Seeing Zheng Michang's thoughtful look, Hu Zongxian chuckled lightly and said slowly.

"In that case, then the official will give you a word, maybe you can use it in the future!"

When Zheng Michang heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately said respectfully.

"Please show me the Governor!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he withdrew his gaze from Zheng Michang's body and said in a deep voice.

"When doing things, it's impossible not to ask, but ask if you should or shouldn't!"

"It's impossible not to ask, but it's not ...... to ask"

Zheng Michang repeatedly chewed on the sentence given to him by Hu Zongxian, for a long time, Zheng Michang's whole person seemed to have an understanding, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Hu Zongxian: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Governor!" ”

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and immediately commanded.

"Well, you go down and get busy first, and you must let those Sangnons know as soon as possible that the government is about to distribute enough relief food for them!"

"Only in this way can we stabilize the current situation!"

After listening to Hu Zongxian's words, Zheng Michang immediately arched his hand and responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor, the Lower Officials will definitely take care of this matter!"

……

On the other hand, after Zheng Michang left the Governor's Palace, while sending people to receive food, he also informed Ma Ningyuan of the news by the way.

After a short time, there were officials beating gongs and drums and shouting everywhere on the streets of the city.

"Everyone listen, the government will distribute a full amount of relief food to everyone in a few days, please don't be impatient!"

"The government has also posted notices all over the city!"

"Listen to it, the government will ...... in a few days"

Soon, through word of mouth among the people in the city, most of the people learned that the government was about to distribute sufficient relief food in the near future.

For those people who planted mulberry seedlings, this is undoubtedly good news, the government can distribute enough relief food, which means that they and their families no longer have to go hungry and be afraid!

However, there are also many different voices, such as: "In that case, why didn't you give us enough relief food before, and why did you delay it until today?" ”

"There must be someone in the government who is greedy for the relief food that should belong to us, and these corrupt officials should be found out!"

It's just that these voices have been ignored by the Sannons, and their minds are full of anticipation at this moment.

In a place in the city where a notice was posted, many of the Sannons had gathered, and after hearing the propaganda of the officials, they came to the place where the notice was posted.

But helplessly, none of the people present were literate, so everyone had to look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.

At this moment, an old boy happened to pass by tremblingly, and when everyone saw this, they hurriedly grabbed him and said some kind words before the old boy agreed to read the contents of the notice for them.

Seeing that the old boy agreed, everyone immediately made way for him, and looked at the old boy with an expectant look, and that kind of look was something that the old boy had not seen for a long time.

Immediately, the old boy snorted coldly, walked proudly past the road that the crowd had made way for him, and when he came to the notice, his eyes widened with great difficulty, and he read the contents of the notice intermittently for everyone.

"Self-...... From the date of posting of the announcement, all ...... All mulberry farmers who plant mulberry seedlings and leave their names and places of origin on the government's register can receive a full amount of relief grain, with ...... The specific time is waiting for the ...... Notice! ”

After the old boy finished reading the contents of the notice, the crowd burst into cheers.

"Okay, okay, don't be hungry anymore!"

"yes, now I'm finally able to eat a full meal!"

The message posted on the notice made all the Sannons present feel very happy, and for them, it represented hope, hope to continue living!

And the old boy looked at the cheering crowd in front of him, and seemed to realize in his heart: "The old man has been poor all his life, and during this period, he was even blinded, and in the end, he didn't even pass the exam!" ”

"Since there is no longer any thought about fame, the old man might as well take advantage of the fact that his body is still able to move, and do more things that are beneficial to the people!"

After making up his mind, the old boy left the scene trembling as he had come.

In the following period, an old boy suddenly appeared in the city, and he would wait by the notice every day, explaining the contents of the notice to the illiterate Sannon or the common people.

The people were all grateful for this, and seeing that the old boy was living in difficulty, they gave him a lot of help.

……

Jizhou, Governor's Palace.

At this moment, I saw Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, put aside the letter sent by the cabinet in his hand quite casually, and immediately fell into thought.

Not long ago, the imperial court sent someone to send a message that Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, was asked to personally lead the army to assist the current Zasaktu Khan Tumaihan and quell the rebellion from the tribe.

After Yang Xuan learned the news, he immediately began to mobilize heavy grain and grass, and made a plan for the upcoming battle.

Yang Xuan originally thought that he only needed to wait for the arrival of Tumaihan with peace of mind, and the army could be officially mobilized and go to the Chahar Department to quell the rebellion.

Who knows, at this juncture, the latest order came from the cabinet!

The contents of the letter were much the same as the previous ones, except that at the end they added that they wanted to cut off Tumaihan's wings as much as possible while helping him to quell the rebellion.

After a while, I saw Yang Xuan come back to his senses and sighed: "Alas, the previous plan was done in vain!" ”

After this, Yang Xuan summoned his subordinates and gave instructions.

"Go, invite Lord Shangshu to the Governor's Palace, and say that this official has something important to discuss!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

The subordinates quickly took the order and left, and after a while, I saw Yang Bo, the left Shangshu of the military department, enter the governor's palace under the guidance of the guards.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Bo noticed that Yang Xuan's face was a little abnormal, and he didn't care about greetings, and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

When Yang Xuan heard this, he didn't respond immediately, but just pointed to the empty space on the side and said slowly.

"Let's sit down first!"

After Yang Bo sat down on the chair, Yang Xuan immediately handed over the letter sent by the cabinet to Yang Bo, and said unhurriedly.

"See for yourself!"

Hearing this, Yang Bo took the letter from Yang Xuan's hand and began to browse the contents from beginning to end.

Time passed like this, and after Yang Bo finished browsing the contents of the letter and put it down, Yang Xuan couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and hurriedly asked.

"How?"

When Yang Bo heard this, he didn't immediately answer Yang Xuan's question, but sighed with emotion.

"It seems that the imperial court still has a hand in Tumaihan, and it doesn't fully trust it, but it's okay to save the trouble of raising tigers!"

"Alas, it's just that the previous plans have to be rearranged, not only that, but the danger will also be greatly increased, you have to be more careful when you lead the army this time!"

Yang Xuan naturally sensed the concern in Yang Bo's words, nodded imperceptibly, and immediately spoke.

"Well, it's just that in this way, the combat effectiveness of the Chahar tribe will be greatly reduced, and it may not be of much help in the next battle with Altan Khan!"

Yang Bo didn't seem to care about this, and instead said: "It's okay, they only need to shed blood for my Daming, as for killing the enemy, we have to do it personally!" ”

When Yang Bo said this, he added: "After all, this is the safest way at the moment!" ”

Yang Xuan also agreed with Yang Bo's words, nodded, and spoke.

"Since the purpose of the operation has changed, the specific planning, as well as the transfer of heavy grain and grass, will have to trouble you!"

"Hmm."
