"As ordered, Your Majesty, the Maritime Trade Department will definitely get this matter done as soon as possible!"
After listening to Jiajing's instructions, Gao Gong knelt on the ground and responded in a deep voice.
After hearing Gao Gong's response, Jiajing nodded, then turned his gaze to Xu Jie and asked.
"By the way, Mr. Xu Ge, Tan Lun wrote to me earlier, saying that the land of the gentry and landlords who had colluded with the bandits would be divided equally among the local people. How is the current situation?"
After hearing this, Xu Jie's face was filled with joy and he immediately responded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to Zhejiang to assist Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian!"
"I guess there will be results soon."
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he added another sentence.
Jiajing did not comment on Xu Jie's words, then picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and gave the order.
"This is a good thing. Take out the land of the landlords and gentry and distribute it to the common people who have no land!"
"It's just that in the process of dividing the land equally, we must pay attention to fairness and justice, and we must not turn a good thing into a bad thing. Do you understand?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xu Jie and suddenly raised his tone.
Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, Xu Jie did not dare to show any slightness, and said in a deep voice with a look of determination on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will personally check this matter."
"If anything goes wrong in the middle, I will come and see you!"
Jiajing was very satisfied with Xu Jie's attitude at this time, and his tone could not help but soften.
"Well, as long as you know the importance of this matter."
"After all, this is related to the livelihood of those people. If you don't pay attention, it will lead to catastrophe!"
Jiajing seemed a little worried, and then added another sentence.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Wei Chen has made corresponding plans before this, and the people sent to Fujian are all smart and capable people!"
Perhaps to dispel Jiajing's concerns, Xu Jie stood up and continued.
"Well, with Mr. Xu Ge's words, I can rest assured."
"I'm waiting for your good news!"
Jiajing looked away from Xu Jie and said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Xu Jie quickly bowed and responded.
Yan Song on the side couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he saw Xu Jie so easily issued a military order in front of Jiajing.
"What exactly is Xu Jie thinking?"
"This is not his style at all!"
Just as Yan Song was getting into a brainstorm, Jiajing, who was sitting on the throne, dropped another bombshell.
Jiajing looked around and then said slowly.
"My dear friends, do you remember last time that I said that I wanted to compile that book called science?"
After hearing this, everyone present looked stern, with excitement that could not be concealed on their faces.
There is no other reason than to leave a name in history!
Yan Song was seen kneeling on the ground tremblingly, asking Jiajing.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, when do you plan to officially start?"
Following Yan Song's question, everyone present couldn't help but turn their attention to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
At this moment, the question Yan Song asked was exactly what they were concerned about!
Jiajing heard this and after pondering for a moment, he gave the order.
"In this way, after the imperial examination is officially over, we can officially start compiling it!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the emperor confirm the specific time.
At the same time, when everyone thought that they would have the opportunity to leave their name in history in the future, they could not suppress the excitement in their hearts. They all knelt on the ground and said in unison.
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
Jiajing glanced at several people one by one, nodded, and said quietly.
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Next, after Jiajing learned about the construction progress of the navy and some trivial matters, he took Lu Fang and left the cabinet.
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
Under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone knelt on the ground and watched Jiajing leave.
After Jiajing left, everyone's faces were still filled with excitement. Xu Jie turned his attention to Yan Song and spoke first.
"Mr. Yan Ge, His Majesty wants us to compile a book on science. Maybe we can take this opportunity of compiling a book and leave a name in history!"
After hearing what Xu Jie said, Yan Song nodded and said with emotion.
"The book called Science in your Majesty's hands is so magical. Your Majesty once said before that this book contains everything in the universe!"
When Yan Song said this, he paused and continued.
"If we compile this book completely, we will not only complete His Majesty's mission, but we will also make a great contribution to the students of future generations!"
"Think about it, students in future generations will have to read the books we compiled. What a privilege it is!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, he couldn't help but start to think about it.
At this moment, Gao Gong on the side coughed twice and asked Zhang Juzheng.
"His Majesty just said to hold an auction at another time. When do you think is appropriate?"
After Zhang Juzheng heard what Gao Gong said, he frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Since His Majesty has ordered the matter to be settled, we should get it done as soon as possible!"
"Let's do this, you are in charge of the auction, and I am in charge of sending people to persuade those merchants who have certificates to go to sea, so that they can organize their fleets to go to sea as soon as possible!"
After listening to Zhang Juzheng's proposal, Gao Gong did not raise any objections, nodded and agreed.
"Well, that's what we'll do!"
…
Fujian, Zhangzhou Prefecture.
Ever since Tan Lun sent the letter, he has been waiting for Xu Jie's reply.
In the government office, Tan Lun was seen sitting in front of the desk, handling affairs unhurriedly.
Ever since Tan Lun led an army to wipe out all the bandits and disobedient landlords and gentry entrenched in Fujian, he has had a lot of leisure.
In the past, those people who were always sneaking around behind the scenes did not dare to do anything wrong again because of Tan Lun's methods!
These people did whatever Tan Lun said and did not dare to disobey him at all.
In today's Fujian Province, no one dares to challenge Tan Lun's authority!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. When Tan Lun saw this, he couldn't help but frowned and immediately gave instructions.
"Come in!"
After the visitor opened the door, he respectfully took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Tan Lun, and said respectfully.
"Sir, this is Mr. Xu Ge's reply to you!"
When Tan Lun saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself.
"The reply finally came!"
Immediately, Tan Lun took the envelope, waved his hand, and gave the order.
"Well, I have received the letter, you can leave now!"
"As you command, my lord!"
When the visitor saw that his mission for this trip had been completed, he turned around and left the room without stopping.
When the visitor left, he also closed the door behind him.
Upon seeing this, Tan Lun nodded, quickly opened the envelope and began to read the contents carefully.
In the envelope, apart from the daily greetings, the most important content is that I am aware of the problems you described in your letter earlier and have dispatched corresponding personnel to Fujian! "
"We will arrive soon!"
I coded this while I was busy, I don’t know if I will have time next time, sorry O_o
