Chapter 152 News
Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

During the few days when Hu Zongxian returned to the Governor's Mansion, it was rare for him to be free, because before that, Zheng Michang had almost dealt with the backlog of affairs in the previous Governor's Mansion.

In addition, the officials of the Governor's Mansion are considerate of Hu Zongxian, unless they encounter some major issues that cannot make up their minds, otherwise, they will generally not disturb Hu Zongxian's rest.

"Really, every time I see a wonderful place, it's over!"

Hu Zongxian frowned, threw the newly bought idle books heavily on the ground, then got up from the seat, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Just as Hu Zongxian was sipping tea carefully, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master Governor, this is a letter written to you by Mr. Yan Ge himself."

"Well, bring it in." Hu Zongxian said, putting down the teacup in his hand.

After Hu Zongxian received the letter, the guards left first, and when they left, they did not forget to close the door of the study.

"A letter from the teacher? What happened recently?"

With countless questions in mind, Hu Zongxian took apart the letter that was written with the four characters of Ruzhen's personal letter, and saw the contents on it.

"How is my beloved student? Last time you came to the capital to report on your duties, you were able to drop by to see me. I am very happy! I also heard that you have received an appointment from the imperial court to capture the leader of the pirates, Wang Zhi."

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must be observed! As a teacher, I hope you can pay more attention to your own safety while serving the court. Don't act impulsively when things happen, you need to think twice before acting. Only then can there be no danger."

"As a teacher, I hope everything goes well for you. By the time this letter arrives, I'm afraid you have already triumphed, right?"

"In addition, there is a piece of paper in this envelope, which contains the specific items for changing rice to mulberry. I am in good health, don't read it."

After reading the contents of the letter, Hu Zongxian stood there, silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

Chief envoy, when Zheng Michang was reviewing today's official documents, the voice of his subordinates came from outside the door.

"Master Chief Executive, Your Excellency Governor wants you to go to the Governor's Mansion!"

"Well, I understand, you can go down."

After hearing the news, Zheng Michang put down the brush in his hand and said loudly.

"Does the Governor have anything to discuss with me? Or is it because I did a great job last time, and the Governor wants to reward me? Could it be that the imperial court's award is already on the way?"

With all kinds of questions in mind, Zheng Michang embarked on the road to the Governor's Mansion.

When he rushed to the governor's mansion in a hurry, he found that everyone was already waiting here.

"It turns out that I'm not the only one who called me!" Zheng Michang thought so, and most of his previous illusions were shattered.

After a while, Hu Zongxian walked into the meeting hall with his hands behind his back.

"I have seen the Governor!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian's arrival, everyone got up from their seats and said respectfully.

"Well, let's all sit down." Hu Zongxian nodded and said in a deep voice.

After everyone sat down, Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Qi Jiguang who was sitting aside, and asked, "How is the situation of the soldiers?"

Seeing Hu Zongxian's question, Qi Jiguang hurriedly replied respectfully: "Report to the governor, the current situation in the barracks is normal!"

"Well, that's good, don't relax the discipline in the barracks."

Hu Zongxian was quite satisfied with the situation reported by Qi Jiguang, nodded and instructed.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor, the last general will surely live up to the great trust of Your Excellency Governor!" Qi Jiguang replied in a deep voice.

After Qi Jiguang finished questioning, Hu Zongxian sat at the head, and after pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he continued: "I just asked you to come here today for one thing."

"That's changing rice into mulberry!" Hu Zongxian looked at the crowd and said word by word.

"What? Change rice to mulberry!"

"So fast?"

Hearing the news about Hu Zongxian, all the people present were shocked. Ever since the imperial court finished measuring the land in Zhejiang, there was no movement.

But later, the dam was destroyed, the people were displaced, and the government was devastated for disaster relief!This change of rice into mulberry has been shelved until now.

But now the imperial court is bringing up the old story again, and once again implementing the national policy of changing rice to mulberry, which made everyone present feel a little surprised.

Hu Zongxian saw the reactions of everyone present, and then he coughed twice, and took out the specific items about changing rice to mulberry from the letter Yan Song had sent to him earlier.

Immediately he said loudly: "Here is the letter sent by Mr. Yan Ge to the official. The letter contains the specifics of changing rice to mulberry. You can read it yourself!"

"At that time, when the food prepared in Jiangsu, Fujian and other places is in place, it will be officially implemented."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he handed over the specific matters of changing rice to mulberry.

Everyone read the above specific items one by one, and then said in unison: "Your Excellency, we will definitely implement the transformation of rice into mulberry!"

"Well, okay, that's all the things I asked you for, you go down and prepare first."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"Yes, Governor! I will take my leave first."

After everyone finished speaking, they got up and left one after another, but Qi Jiguang at the side still had some doubts and kept wandering.

"Oh, Qi Jiguang, do you have any questions?"

Seeing Qi Jiguang's appearance, Hu Zongxian couldn't help asking.

"Your Excellency, the general thinks that Fujian should not be on this list!"

"The last time we went to Fujian to conquer the Japanese pirates, you can see the situation there. Countless people are starved of food. How can we gather so much food!"

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, don't these officials you mentioned know about it? When the imperial court divided it, it didn't take into account the specific situation in Fujian!"

"Don't worry, I will report this matter to the imperial court at that time. If it is really not possible, just ask Fujian to pay the minimum share. Besides, the food is just a reserve, and I don't know if it will be used at that time."

Hu Zongxian saw Qi Jiguang's worry, and then comforted him.

"The general was not careful and offended the governor for a while, please blame the governor!"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian already had a countermeasure for this matter, Qi Jiguang also felt a little ashamed of what he had said before.

"It's okay, it's great that you have this kind of heart, at least you still have those ordinary people in your heart!"

Seeing this, Hu Zongxian followed closely and comforted him.

"Your Excellency, this is the news from the imperial court, saying that your reward is already on the way!"

At this moment, a guard with a hurried look came in from outside the conference hall and reported to Hu Zongxian.

"Well, I understand, you can go down."

When Hu Zongxian learned that the imperial court's reward was on the way, he was not too excited, but nodded and responded lightly.

"Yes, this subordinate will leave now!"

After the guard finished speaking, he turned and left.

……

After Zheng Michang and He Maocai came out of the Governor's Mansion, they met at Shen Yishi's house to gather together.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why isn't there any news from Mr. Xiaoge? Could it be that we were abandoned?"

Zheng Michang drank the tea in the cup and said with a sad face.

"How is it possible, perhaps the elder Xiaoge was too busy and forgot about this matter."

Seeing this, He Maocai comforted him quickly.

"Boss Shen, did you get any news before this?" Zheng Michang didn't give up, and turned to Shen Yishi for confirmation.

"No, before that, I didn't get any wind."

After Shen Yishi finished speaking, he picked up his rotten porcelain bowl, and drank the cold water inside in one gulp.

"Then this matter is really strange. Usually, we get the news first. Why is it the other way around this time?" Zheng Michang frowned, rubbing his chin, thinking about the possibility.

"You don't even think about it, the governor's qualifications are much stronger than ours! Among other things, he is a student of Mr. Yan Ge, and this relationship alone is not comparable to us."

He Maocai who was on the side picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, comforting him.

"Ugh."

After listening to He Maocai's words, Zheng Michang also felt helpless and heaved a long sigh.
