Chapter 211 The Message Has Been Delivered
Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

At night, when Hu Zongxian was still dealing with the backlog of official affairs in the Governor's Mansion in recent days, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Come in!"

Hu Zongxian frowned imperceptibly, and said.

"Governor, here is a letter sent by Mr. Yan Ge himself!"

As the visitor spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it respectfully to Hu Zongxian.

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

Hu Zongxian took the letter, and then spoke.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Seeing that his mission of delivering the letter had been fulfilled, the visitor respectfully withdrew and closed the door with him.

"I don't know what's in the letter the teacher sent me?"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he opened the letter and began to browse the contents carefully.

After a long time, after Hu Zongxian read the contents of the letter, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to the daily greetings, the most important thing in the letter is to let him temporarily slow down the progress of changing rice to mulberry, so there is no need to be so eager! "

"Huh~ This is good, and the common people can suffer less!"

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he put the envelope aside and continued to deal with the remaining official duties.

……

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Hu Zongxian ordered the guards to summon everyone to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion. He had something to announce.

Regarding Hu Zongxian's order, everyone did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and soon, everyone rushed to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion to wait.

I saw Hu Zongxian walking briskly into the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.

"I've been waiting to meet the governor!"

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

"Sit down, sit down! I called everyone over today because I have two things I want to announce to everyone."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he sat on the head, swept his gaze from everyone one by one, and said slowly.

"Please also speak frankly, the governor!"

Seeing this, Zheng Michang on the side couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, so he said.

Hu Zongxian did not directly answer Zheng Michang's question, but turned to look at Ma Ningyuan, and asked, "What is the progress of changing rice to mulberry in the whole of Zhejiang?"

Seeing Hu Zongxian's question, Ma Ningyuan quickly got up from his seat, and after a moment of recollection, he gave the answer.

"Teacher, currently about [-]% of the land in Zhejiang has been replanted with mulberry seedlings! I believe the original goal will be achieved soon."

"Teacher, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Ma Ningyuan was quite surprised that Hu Zongxian suddenly asked about the progress of changing rice to mulberry.

After listening to Ma Ningyuan's report, Hu Zongxian nodded, and then looked at everyone.

"The first thing I want to say is this matter!"

"Just last night, Mr. Yan Ge sent me a letter, which stated that the progress of changing rice to mulberry can be temporarily slowed down!"

"In addition, after the first batch of raw silk comes out, the government is not allowed to buy it at half price! If necessary, it can even buy it at a premium."

"This is the whole content of the letter. Do you have any opinions?"

After Hu Zongxian roughly recounted the contents of the letter, he turned his gaze to everyone and asked.

"My lord governor, I think this is a good thing! In this way, the government will have more time to slowly guide the people to plant mulberry trees."

After Gao Hanwen learned the news from Hu Zongxian, he stood up excitedly from his chair.

"Well, this official thinks so too. In this way, the common people will suffer less! As long as the common people see that it is profitable, they will take the initiative to plant mulberry trees without being forced by the government. "

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

After Hu Zongxian put down the teacup and looked around, he continued.

"The second thing I want to say is related to Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian mentioning Zhao Zhenji, everyone present couldn't help becoming nervous, and their hearts were raised in their throats.

In the eyes of everyone, this Zhao Zhenji came to Zhejiang to conduct a thorough investigation under the emperor's order, and there was a case where the imperial court did not implement tax reductions and exemptions for the common people!

As an imperial envoy, Zhao Zhenji naturally has the right to kill first and act later, and everyone present has also inquired from various channels about His Majesty's attitude after learning about the incident.

Your Majesty made all the civil and military officials in the capital kneel outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation until dark!
Hu Zongxian had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone present, and continued after coughing twice.

"According to the exact news, Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty, will arrive in Zhejiang by tomorrow at the latest!"

"What? So fast!"

After Zheng Michang heard the news, he stood up suddenly from his chair, his face full of panic.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over now! What if the imperial envoy starts to arrest people without saying a word!"

He Maocai on the side, like Zheng Michang, also had a look of panic on his face.

"Your Excellency, you have to save us! If the imperial envoy pursues it, we will be completely finished."

After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian, his face full of pleading.

"Yes, please, Governor, save our lives!"

After Zheng Michang, He Maocai also asked Hu Zongxian to do so.

"Look at how promising you are, you're scared to death before the imperial envoy arrives!"

Hu Zongxian looked away from the two of them and angrily said.

"So, the governor has a way to deal with it?"

After hearing Hu Zongxian's words, Zheng Michang's eyes also burned with a flame called hope.

"The matter has come to this, what can I do to deal with it, I just hope that the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty can hold his hand high!"

"Both of you, during this period, don't give me any crooked ideas! If you accidentally offend the imperial envoy, then everyone will be overwhelmed, understand?"

Hu Zongxian was not at ease with Zheng Michang and He Maocai, and then gave a few words of advice.

"Don't worry, my lord governor, we will definitely follow your instructions!"

"Yes, you said to go east, we will never go west! You said to go to the mountain of swords, we will never go to the sea of ​​fire!"

……

"Quanzhou is in front of us, we will be there soon!"

When Yang Zongtai looked at the very familiar city not far away, his face was full of excitement, and then he involuntarily increased the volume.

After hearing the news, the wife in the carriage also breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face.

"We're finally back."

"Yeah, we are finally back! To tell you the truth, during my tenure in Nanzhili, my husband often dreamed of this scene, but I didn't expect that it has really become a reality now."

"Recalling the days when I served as the Prime Minister of Taipusi in Nanzhili, it was like a nightmare."

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Yang Zongtai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, I saw a group of officials rushing out from Quanzhou city, together with the common people in Quanzhou city, it was a vast expanse with no end in sight.

Immediately, the team of officials stopped less than ten steps away from the carriage.

Soon, the leading official among them bowed his hands to Yang Zongtai and said respectfully.

"I've been waiting to meet the magistrate!"

"Are you here specially to pick me up?"

Yang Zongtai was quite surprised by this, and asked immediately.

"Yes, Lord Magistrate! Ever since they learned that you were transferred back to Quanzhou, the common people have been looking forward to it, counting the days every day, and now, they finally expect you to come back!"

Perhaps it was to prove that the officer's words were true, and then the rest of the people knelt down on the ground and said excitedly.

"I'm waiting to welcome the magistrate!"

Yang Zongtai seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, he bowed his hands to everyone present, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm here, thank you all!"

Then, surrounded by the people at the scene, Yang Zongtai's carriage entered Quanzhou City.
