I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 121 Boost morale
After disposing of those who stole the salt tax with extremely cruel means, Zheng Bichang believed that no one would dare to think about this batch of salt tax in a short time.

Just when Zheng Michang thought the matter was over and was enjoying tea leisurely in the chief secretary's yamen, the officials from the Governor's Mansion hurried over and came before him after being informed by his subordinates.

"Master Chief Executive, the Governor-General has invited me to discuss something important with you."

"Well, I see, you go down, this officer will hurry over!"

After the future people sent away, Zheng Michang was a little confused for a while.

"What's going on, isn't the case of the theft of salt tax already closed? Does the Governor have other tasks for me? Or is he going to implement the transformation of rice into mulberry? But Mr. Ge and the others didn't inform me?"

With doubts in his head, Zheng Michang embarked on the road to the Governor's Mansion.

……

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhezhi, Hu Zongxian saw that the person who had been sent to report had rushed back, and he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, if only Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang were still there, I would be able to entrust everything to him!"

Just as Hu Zongxian was sighing, a subordinate announced from outside the hall: "Report to the governor, the chief minister is here!"

"Well, I know, let him come in." Hu Zongxian waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" After obtaining Hu Zongxian's consent, his subordinates rushed to the door and asked the guards on both sides of the Governor's Mansion to let Zheng Michang in.

After a while, Zheng Michang hurried to the hall.

"My lord governor, why are you looking for an officer?" Zheng Bichang said with a respectful look on his face.

"Sit!" Hu Zongxian said calmly, pointing to the chair beside him.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor." After Zheng Michang answered, he sat down on the seat that Hu Zongxian pointed out just now.

"I have asked you this time because I really want to ask you to do something!"

As Hu Zongxian said, he picked up the teacup on the side, and after blowing off the floating tea dust on it, he took a sip.

"Even though your words are good, Governor Governor, even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I have to take care of the matter for you!" After hearing Hu Zongxian's words, Zheng Michang immediately put on an expression of death.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. You don't need to go down the mountain of swords and fire for me." Hu Zongxian looked at the expression on Zheng Michang's face, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.

"I'm ignorant, please tell the Governor!" After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he got up from his seat and bowed to Hu Zongxian.

"This official has just received the appointment from the imperial court. I will not be in the Governor's Mansion in the near future! It just so happens that my aide, Xu Wei, has also resigned from his official position and is preparing to take the provincial examination in August this year."

"So I want you to temporarily replace me to handle the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, how about it?"

Hu Zongxian's tone was very flat, but it gave people a sense that he could not refuse.

"Your Excellency Governor, just leave all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials will definitely handle it properly without any mistakes!"

After listening to his immediate superior's request, Zheng Michang was ecstatic for a while, and then forced himself to calm down, patted his chest, and responded.

"Well, when Yan Maoqing comes to collect the salt tax, I will trouble you to receive him."

Hu Zongxian looked at Zheng Michang's confident look, and then added another sentence.

"Don't worry, there's no problem, leave it to the next official!" Zheng Michang patted his chest again, and replied.

"After I hand over the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to you, what should you do with the affairs of the Chief Secretary's office?"

"Why don't I find someone else, I think that He Maocai is quite free all day long."

As Hu Zongxian said, a trace of worry appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, no! To tell you the truth, the affairs of the chief secretary's office have almost been dealt with." Seeing that Hu Zongxian wanted to hand over this important task to He Maocai, Zheng Michang panicked and quickly explained.

"Well, since that's the case, all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion will be left to you in the next period of time."

Seeing that the matter could be ordered, Hu Zongxian's mood improved a lot, and he said loudly.

"Your Excellency Governor, don't worry, the next official will definitely work hard! Handle the affairs of the Governor's Mansion properly."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, his face was full of respect.

"Clean up and move to the Governor's Mansion later!"

Hu Zongxian drank the tea in the cup and ordered.

"Yes, Governor! I'll go back and pack my things now." After Zheng Michang said, he bid farewell to Hu Zongxian and left.

On the way back to the chief secretary's yamen, Zheng Michang's heart was full of joy: "I, Zheng Michang, have also changed my luck now, and have been approved by the governor!"

"My lord governor entrusted me with such an important matter, can't it explain the status of this official in his heart? Maybe my lord governor, the letter of recommendation to His Majesty is already on the way..."

During the whole conversation, Zheng Michang didn't try to understand the reason of the matter from Hu Zongxian. Without him, as a subordinate, he only needs to follow the orders of his superiors, and don't ask about the rest.

……

"I am the governor of Zhejiang Province and the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian! He is also the commander-in-chief of this operation. I believe that some of you already recognize me."

As before, Hu Zongxian said loudly, looking at the solemn soldiers in the audience.

"Therefore, I don't want to say anything more. This time, your mission is to wipe out all the Japanese pirates entrenched near the Zhoushan Islands! This operation, like the previous one, does not need to hand over the gains! In addition, in the battle Every time you kill a Japanese pirate, you can get one tael of silver, and there is no upper limit."

"Do you have any questions?"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he looked at the excited soldiers in the audience and said loudly.

"Report, sir, no!" Immediately afterwards, a huge sound wave came from the audience, which made Hu Zongxian's ears buzzing.

"Okay, the whole army obeys the order, get on the boat, and set off!"

"Yes!"

……

Zheng Michang quickly finished the work of the Chief Secretary, and then sent someone to bring the luggage and stayed in the Governor's Mansion.

"I've seen adults!"

"grown ups!"

"Subordinate, I've met my lord!"

Zheng Michang sat at the head, looking at the officials of the governor's mansion who were respectfully saluting to him, he couldn't help feeling secretly refreshed.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be the governor. It's so cool!"

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Michang coughed twice, and said: "My official is Zheng Michang, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, entrusted by the Governor-General. From now on, I will handle all the affairs of the Governor-General's Mansion!"

"However, this official is new here, and I am not very familiar with the various affairs of the Governor's Mansion, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions. Please bear with me."

"I'm counting on you guys for these days!"

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he got up from his chair, bowed his hands to these officials, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't dare to dare, as officials of the Governor's Mansion, it is our duty to help your lord handle affairs!"

"Yes, it is my duty to assist the chief in dealing with affairs, sir, don't be too outsider."

"That's what we should do."

Seeing this, the officials of the Governor's Mansion quickly bowed to Zheng Michang in salute.

At this moment, a guard's announcement came from outside: "Report to your lord, ask for an interview with the envoy He Maocai!"

When Zheng Michang heard the guard's announcement, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, thinking in his heart: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

"Let him come in!" Zheng Michang sat at the head and ordered.

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left quickly.

After a while, He Maocai's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Excellency, the lower officials have important reports!"

When He Maocai walked into the hall and looked at Zheng Michang sitting at the head, his face was full of surprise: "You...you you, Zheng Bichang!"

I saw Zheng Michang smiled slightly, and said softly: "That's right, it's my official."
