I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 353 Alright, I'm Winning

At this moment, Zhu Shunxian's home.

Since the imperial court promulgated a new policy to reduce the amount of money and money distributed to the clan to half of the original amount, the life of Zhu Shunxian's family has visibly become more difficult.

In order to make a living, Zhu Shunxian's mother had no choice but to return to her old business, relying on the embroidery skills she learned when she was young, to barely support the family.

Zhu Shunxian's father also let go of his status as a relative of the emperor, rented a piece of land, became a farmer, and summed up a lot of experience.

And today was the day when the results of the children's test were announced. Early in the morning, Zhu Shun rushed to the local county government to check the list.

At this moment, the vicinity of the bulletin board of the county government office was already crowded with people who came to check the exam results, among them were some gray-haired old men.

"Give way, let everyone!"

Zhu Shun said so first, and then squeezed into the crowd with all his strength.

"Ouch, what are you squeezing!"

"Who stepped on my foot!"

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Zhu Shunxian. They all want to see their rankings earlier. With such thoughts, the crowd becomes more and more crowded.

Finally, after a lot of effort, Zhu Shunxian squeezed to the forefront. When he saw his name on the list, No. 2, he shouted excitedly.

"Okay, I hit it!"

And Zhu Shunxian's words, undoubtedly, completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene. Those students who hadn't seen their rankings pushed forward even harder, and the crowd became more and more chaotic, with yelling and crying. ear.

Zhu Shun first looked at the increasingly chaotic crowd near the bulletin board, panted heavily, and spoke with lingering fear.

"Huh, luckily I ran out in time!"

After resting for a while, Zhu Shun regained his strength and thought so.

"I have to tell my father the good news quickly!"

After that, Zhu Shun didn't stop at all, and immediately set foot on the journey home.

When Zhu Shunxian returned home, he suddenly found that the whole family was waiting for his news.

Seeing Zhu Shunxian coming back, Zhu Shunxian's mother rushed up to greet him, her face full of concern.

"I'm back, let's rest for a while!"

Zhu Shun first heard the words, nodded silently, and immediately sat down on the seat, picked up the teapot beside him, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Seeing that Zhu Shunxian had almost rested, Zhu Shunxian's mother asked cautiously after carefully considering her words.

"How about it, did you pass the exam?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you didn't pass the exam. Next time..."

To this, Zhu Shunxian just nodded and responded quite calmly.

"I passed the exam, my ranking is No.2!"

Hearing this, Zhu Shunxian's mother's face was full of surprise. Before that, she had already planned in her mind how to comfort the lost child.

But now, Zhu Shunxian said that he passed the children's test and got the No.2 result. How can he not move her!

Zhu Shunxian was stunned for a long time before he said slowly.

"Okay, okay, our family is going to produce a scholar!"

Zhu Shunxian's father, who had been silent for a long time, interjected at this moment.

"What kind of scholar, can you take a longer view, maybe our Shun'er can become a high-ranking official!"

……

Fujian, Zhangzhou Prefecture.

After waiting for a period of time, the manpower Xu Jie sent to Fujian was finally in place.

At this moment, they were waiting in the hall of the government office, waiting for Tan Lun's instructions.

In the hall, Tan Lun was sitting at the head. After looking around, he opened his mouth.

"Presumably before everyone came here, Elder Xu Ge had already emphasized the importance of this operation to you, right?"

Hearing this, the expressions of many officials present were serious, and Song Yiwang stood up and said respectfully to Tan Lun.

"Yes, Lord Governor, before this, Elder Xu Ge has repeatedly emphasized to us!"

Hearing this, Tan Lun felt relieved, and then added.

"This matter is not only related to the smooth implementation of our previous plan, but also related to the local people in Fujian."

"Therefore, I hope that you can use your heart and don't secretly play tricks behind your back. Otherwise, not only Xu Ge will not spare you, but even His Majesty will not spare you!"

Tan Lun's words undoubtedly set off a huge wave in the hearts of these officials.

"What, Your Majesty knows about this?"

"Not only that, His Majesty is still paying close attention to this matter. If I can take this opportunity to perform well, won't I be able to win His Majesty's favor?"

"Hmph, it seems that some adjustments should be made to the previous plan."

Tan Lun had a panoramic view of the expressions on the faces of all the people present, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Did you all understand what I said?"

Seeing Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian speaking, those officials immediately suppressed the chaotic thoughts in their hearts and said in unison.

"Master Governor, I will understand!"

Seeing this situation, Tan Lun nodded, and immediately called his subordinates to distribute the files that had been prepared to the many officials present.

Faced with the doubts on everyone's faces, Tan Lun picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and then explained.

"These are people who have been registered with the government and have no land, a total of 630 people!"

"Among them, local officials in Fujian are in charge of 630 people, and you only need to be responsible for the remaining 1000 people."

"According to my vision, if the [-] mu of land is distributed equally, each person can get about five mu of land, which should be enough for the daily expenses of a family!"

"However, in the process of actually distributing the land, the land should be divided according to the actual situation of these people's homes!"

When Tan Lun said this, he paused for a moment, and then gave instructions.

"I don't care how you divide it, but each commoner must get at least five acres of land."

"If I let this official know that someone is tampering with this, secretly occupying the land that should belong to the common people, or embezzling it and selling it to those landlords and gentry, this official will not forgive me lightly!"

Many officials in the hall, after listening to Tan Lun's murderous words, put away their irrational thoughts and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

……

Nearly three days had passed since Hai Rui took a boat from the capital city to Kaifeng in Henan via the Grand Canal.

During these three days, Hai Rui finally got used to the roughness of the boat gradually, and his seasickness also eased a lot.

At this moment, Hai Rui was sitting in the cabin, reading the book in his hands with peace of mind by the burning candle on the table.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside the cabin, interrupting Hai Rui's thoughts.

When Hai Rui heard the commotion outside, he reluctantly put down the book in his hand, and immediately gave instructions.

"Come in!"

As soon as Hai Rui finished speaking, there was a "squeak", and the door of the cabin was pushed open. Xiao Er, the bodyguard in charge of guarding Hai Rui's safety, walked in and saluted him respectfully.

"I've seen adults!"

Seeing this situation, Hai Rui nodded, and immediately asked.

"Tell me, what can you do with me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er hesitated for a moment before responding.

"My lord, I think you haven't been out of the cabin for a day, so I came here to check on the situation, just in case..."

Hearing this, Hai Rui didn't show any anger on his face, he waved his hands, and immediately spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Afterwards, Hai Rui changed the subject and asked Xiao Er.

"According to the current speed, how long will it take to reach Henan?"

After thinking for a while, Xiao Er gave his answer.

"My lord, according to the current speed, it only takes a week to reach Henan!"
