As the governor of Chuzhou, Liu Jian never thought that he would receive such grand courtesy.
After Xu Yunyan, an idealistic, ambitious and capable lord in Zhaojia Village, Wanghai Township, unexpectedly obtained a large amount of sea salt, Liu Jian was frightened and the governor, who knew that salt and iron were sold exclusively by the government, hurried to Zhaojia Village, thinking that We need to see how Zhaojiacun studies this matter and how they will dispose of the salt.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as Liu Jiang came to the beach, he saw Xu Yunyan rushing over with some marshals from Zhechong Mansion, which shocked Liu Jian.
Are you trying to hide the news and kill people to silence them?
"My life is at an end."
Just when Liu Jian was so worried and thinking that this matter might bring disaster to him, Xu Yunyan and others ran up to Liu Jian and talked to Liu Jian happily.
"You came just in time, Governor Liu."
This moment frightened Liu Jian. "Master Xu, we have something to talk about. What's going on?"
"President Liu has something to discuss with you. Look at the amount of salt here. Should we study how to deal with it?"
Seeing the embarrassed look of the governor Liu Jian, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stated his plan, but after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, his words changed again.
"It seems that Governor Liu knows the identity of this official?"
"Isn't that right? Isn't it normal to know that you are a lord?"
Liu Jian didn't say how he knew it, but he knew Xu Yunyan's identity, which made Xu Yunyan laugh twice in embarrassment, and then pointed to the pile of snow-white salt in the distance.
"Your Majesty, the Governor, will have his birthday soon. I would like to give these gifts to His Majesty through the capital. Do you think this is appropriate?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Liu Jian nodded hurriedly: "It's appropriate, it's too appropriate! If your Majesty knew that Lord Xu could produce so much white salt, he would definitely be happy, and this move would save Chuzhou a lot of money." With so little manpower and material resources, I, the governor, am still here to thank Sir Xu."
When Liu Jian said this, Xu Yunyan became curious, "Why can Chuzhou get any unexpected gains if I give a gift to His Majesty?"
Just when Xu Yunyan was stunned here, Liu Jian started to explain again.
"The new emperor's accession to the throne and certain major festivals such as his sixtieth birthday require gifts from all over the country. We have nothing to give gifts to in Chuzhou, we can only transport some local products.
It not only requires elite soldiers and strong generals to escort them, but also generals. Now that Lord Xu has a large amount of sea salt, Lord Xu will definitely escort them personally.
There is no need for officials to worry about the safety of this journey, and with Lord Xu's sea salt, Chuzhou can just be happy and there is no need to work as hard as before. "
After Liu Jian finished speaking, Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "What does this mean? It seems that you want me to lead a team to escort this sea salt to the capital, and use part of this sea salt as a gift to Chuzhou?"
After Xu Yunyan looked at Liu Jian like this and asked weakly, Liu Jian scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's it. I wonder if Lord Xu can cut off his love?"
Xu Yunyan is not a stingy person, and he doesn't want ordinary people to spend money.
"It's nothing to cut off love."
Xu Yunyan looked at the large amount of sea salt, "It doesn't matter if I give some to Chuzhou, but I wonder if the governor can arrange how many people to escort the goods? If there are enough people to escort the goods, everything will be easy."
"Is there anything else to say? Just send out half of the manpower from the government. Such a heavy object is worthy of the country's auspiciousness. How can you be so frightened and fearful?"
When Liu Jian said this, Xu Yunyan clapped his hands, "Then it's settled."
Liu Jian watched Xu Yunyan agree and then rubbed his hands and looked at Xu Yunyan, "Then I wonder if Master Xu will give us Chuzhou a lot?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Liu Jian's philistine look and said, "It's too early to tell. I don't know how much salt there is. Let's load the car directly. After loading, we will see how many cars there are before we decide to give it to Chuzhou." How much do you want to keep? How good is that?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Liu Jian hurriedly agreed, "This is very true. Then I will dispatch my troops and generals now and discuss it with Mr. Pan of Zhechong Mansion."
As Liu Jian said this, Xu Yunyan hurriedly complimented next to him, "Then there is Mr. Lao Cishi. If this move is really appropriate and can reduce some tax burdens for the people of Chuzhou, why not do it?"
Not long after, Liu Jian returned from the scene, not only with numerous carriages, but also with the soldiers who had been fully equipped for the past two days from Zhechong Mansion.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yunyan stared at him, "What does this mean? It seems that the governor is ready to suppress the rebellion."
After Xu Yunyan said this here, Liu Jian scratched his head in embarrassment, "How could this be the case? Aren't I afraid that something might go wrong with this country's auspiciousness? I specially deployed troops and generals in advance."
Although Liu Jian said this, Xu Yunyan looked at him with doubts on his face, "This is not good, Mr. Liu."
This time Xu Yunyan lowered his voice and did not call him the governor. Instead, he called him Master Liu. Liu Jian was stunned and looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion, and Xu Yunyan said something here.
"Zhe Chong Mansion can only be mobilized by the generals and the Ministry of War in Beijing. Officials here have no right to mobilize."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Liu Jianshe immediately changed his face, "Brother Xu, look at this..."
Liu Jing's expression changed after she said this, and she stuttered a bit. Xu Yunyan patted his hand, "Brother Liu, I understand what you mean. We are all for the good fortune of this country."
At this time, Liu Jian finally swallowed his heart and no longer had to worry here, but this also let Liu Jian know Xu Yunyan's fox-like thoughts.
Xu Yunyan and Liu Jian started arguing here after they had their own thoughts, but overall it was quite enjoyable.
After a while, all the sea salt was loaded into the truck, and an official from the governor's office came to report.
"Master Governor Xu Jue." After the official saluted, he looked at the two of them with a ledger and said calmly after taking a breath.
"My lords, all the sea salt has been loaded onto the truck. There are five thousand bags in total. One stone per bag."
The two people who didn't think it was salty at first jumped up when they heard this.
Xu Yunyan is happy and knows a lot, but he doesn't know so much.
Liu Jian was shocked, seriously shocked. How big was this? How many people are there? Why so many?
But after being shocked, he rubbed his hands and smiled maliciously.
