I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 29
That night, the father and son finished their walk and returned to Yan's mansion. Immediately afterwards, an anonymous letter was handed to Yan Shifan by the doorman.

"Who sent this letter? Did you see the face clearly?"

Yan Shifan took the letter from the servant, frowned, and asked instead.

"Old man Xiaoge, the person who came here was also entrusted by others, as for other things, I don't know!" The doorkeeper bowed and saluted.

"Okay, you go down! Don't mention this to anyone, understand?"

"Little understands."

"Double your regular money this month."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaoge!"

Yan Shifan ignored the servant behind him, but took the envelope and went straight back to his room.

After he read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "How dare they!"

And the content recorded in the letter is impressively the plan discussed by several Ge elders and King Yu earlier, which naturally also includes the poisonous scheme of destroying dikes and flooding fields to make Zhejiang mess up!After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Yan Shifan didn't dare to delay too much, and knocked on his father Yan Song's door directly.

"What's the matter?" Yan Song opened the door, dressed in unlined clothing, it seemed that he was going to sleep soon.

"Father, my son just received an anonymous letter, look!" Yan Shifan said, and handed the letter to his father.

Yan Song took the letter, walked tremblingly to the bed, put on reading glasses, and began to read the contents above.

After a long time, Yan Song raised his head, his cloudy eyes were full of horror, and asked in a deep voice, "Who gave you this letter?"

"Father, this letter was sent by a servant, but the exact identity is unknown."

"Father, should we report this matter to His Majesty for his decision?"

After pondering for a moment, Yan Song replied: "You don't need to report this matter to His Majesty, since they want to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, let them destroy it!"

Yan Song looked at the horrified look in his son's eyes, and explained: "The autumn harvest is already over half. At this time, the embankment will be destroyed and the fields will be flooded, which will affect nine counties with 10,000+ mu of land! Once the fields are flooded, the people will not have enough food. Naturally, the price will depreciate significantly, so we can take this opportunity to lower the price of the fields, and when the time comes, all the harvested fields will be planted with mulberry trees, which will be regarded as an early implementation of the conversion of rice to mulberry."

"Let that Shen Yishi handle this matter, let him prepare the grain in advance, and exchange the grain for the field."

Yan Song waved his hand and ordered in a low voice.

"But father, the child is still a little worried. What should we do if Zhejiang really gets into chaos?"

"Don't worry, there is not enough food in Zhejiang Province, and it can be transferred from neighboring provinces. As long as the scale is controlled, Zhejiang will not be chaotic!"

"Yes, father, the child will go down and inform."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan bowed and left.

……

"Mr. Xiaoge, this is a letter from your student Gao Hanwen." Yan Shifan had just returned to his mansion after arranging everything properly, the housekeeper bowed and handed out the letter.

"Go down." Yan Shifan waved his hand with a tired look on his face.

After the housekeeper went down, Yan Shifan read the letter Gao Hanwen wrote to himself by the light of the candle: "Teacher, student Gao Hanwen, how are you doing recently..."

After thoroughly reading the contents of the letter, Yan Shifan threw the letter aside and rubbed his temples non-stop. Everything that happened today made him feel tired. First, Qingliu was going to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, and then his student Gao Hanwen Inadvertently touching the court tax and not implementing such a big minefield.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Shifan finally took up a pen and wrote: "Hanwen, the teacher already knows what you said in the letter! The imperial court will send people to Zhejiang to investigate soon, and please speed up the progress of measuring the acres..."

After finishing writing the letter, Yan Shifan immediately called the housekeeper and sent the letter, and when the housekeeper was about to leave, he also ordered: "Go and let Zheng Michang and He Maocai watch him, and don't let him mess with me again." Trouble! You can use some means if necessary."

"Yes." The butler bowed and left after listening.

……

In Zhejiang, Shen Yishi's home, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, and Yang Jinshui gathered here.

"Boss Shen, this time we must follow Yan Ge's wishes!" Zheng Michang picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"That's natural. After Shen received the news from Mr. Yan Ge and the others, he bought [-] shi of grain from a neighboring province overnight. It must be able to meet the requirements." Shen Yishi put down the rotten porcelain bowl in his hand and responded.

Seeing that the rotten porcelain bowl in Shen Yishi's hand was running out of water, the maid at the side hurriedly poured cold boiled water for it.

"The price of the land has been reduced by half, which is really a good idea! As far as I know, those are all good farmlands. I believe Boss Shen will be able to make a lot of money this time." Yang Jinshui looked at it. Come here, high-pitched.

"It's all for Mr. Yan Ge to do something. After the task is completed, you will be indispensable!" Shen Yishi picked up the rotten porcelain bowl again, blew on it, and drank the water in it.

"At that time, all the harvested fields will be planted with mulberry trees. Firstly, this year's orders from the Weaving Bureau can be successfully completed, and secondly, the conversion of rice to mulberry can be carried out in advance. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone." He Maocai couldn't help but admire after hearing this.

"It's just everyone, how should we deal with another matter entrusted by Mr. Xiaoge?" He Maocai hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth.

Everyone knew that what He Maocai was referring to was that Mr. Xiaoge told them to look at Gao Hanwen and stop causing any trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Michang said: "After my observations during this period of time, this apprentice of Xiaoge Lao is a rare person with high moral character, who hates evil like hatred! If he acts rashly, I'm afraid it will not end well."

"It's not easy. Pull him over. As the saying goes, it's the hardest thing to bear the grace of a beauty! It just so happens that Boss Shen has raised a lady Yun?" Yang Jinshui thought for a moment and said coldly.

"Eunuch Yang means... let's make a game?" After hearing Yang Jinshui's suggestion, Zheng Michang's eyes lit up.

Yang Jinshui just nodded slightly, without answering.

"But Boss Shen has to be the villain." Yang Jinshui looked at Shen Yishi at the side with a playful expression.

"Me?" Shen Yishi put down the rotten porcelain bowl, his face full of doubts.

"It must be you, you are the most motivated among us!" He Maocai also understood what Yang Jinshui meant, and said slowly.

"Okay, I'll make preparations when I go down later, and we will hold him in our hands, are we afraid that he will be disobedient?" Shen Yishi nodded, agreeing to Yang Jinshui's suggestion.

"I'll invite Gao Hanwen over that night!" Seeing that the matter entrusted by Mr. Xiao Ge was perfectly resolved, Zheng Michang also had a smile on his face.

……

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang Province, after reading the letter sent back by Yan Shifan, Gao Hanwen couldn't help smiling when he learned that the imperial court would send people to investigate thoroughly in the near future. The teacher was still the same teacher, nothing changed!At the same time, Gao Hanwen also secretly made up his mind that he must speed up the process of clearing Zhang's land in order to repay his kindness for knowing him.

"Brother, accompany elder brother to a banquet tonight."

I saw Zheng Michang coming in a hurry, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he called Gao Hanwen aside, and said in a low voice.

"What banquet?" Gao Hanwen frowned slightly. His original plan was to use tonight to organize the land data that had been measured before into a book.

"It's hard to explain to you, anyway, this banquet is very important to my brother!"

"In that case, I will go." Gao Hanwen nodded, agreeing to Zheng Bichang's invitation.

"Then I will wait for the good news for my brother." After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he left quickly, leaving only Gao Hanwen who was confused.
