Lu Yan took the banknote, feeling completely relieved. He said, "Thank you very much for the reward, sir. Please wait. I will help you buy 20,000 horses in a month at most. But you have to send soldiers to escort them. We really can't do that."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "No problem."
Just as Lu Yan was about to leave, the doorman came crawling in: "Master, the eunuch from the palace is here again."
Zhao Lin was slightly puzzled.
Since it is used again, it must be safe.
"Why are you so panicked?" Zhao Lin asked.
The doorman said, "The eunuch said that you can no longer serve as the prefect and asked you to go out and receive the imperial edict."
Is he going to lose his job?
Lu Yan felt relieved as he held the two banknotes in his hand.
In this case, there is no need to do things for him, it's a pity to waste the money.
"oh?"
Zhao Lin was only slightly startled and said with a smile: "Let's go and see what Eunuch An is up to."
Zhao Lin took people out to greet them.
Anquan was arrogant and serious, saying, "Zhao Lin, your term as prefect has come to an end. Why don't you kneel down and accept the order?"
Sudi narrowed his eyes, murderous intent filling his eyes.
Zhao Lin glanced at Anquan, pulled Sudi, knelt down and said, "Your Highness Zhao Lin respectfully welcomes the imperial edict."
He safely unfolded the imperial edict and said, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that since arriving in Qingzhou, Zhao Lin has collected the flower and stone levy, suppressed the rebels and bandits, governed Qingzhou, and supervised the Qingmiao loan. Every single one of these has been reported to the court and has brought peace to the people. I am deeply pleased. I hereby promote Zhao Lin to the position of Governor of Jiujiang. This is my decree!"
After Anquan finished reading the imperial edict, he smiled and said, "Master Zhao, are you scared? Please accept the edict quickly."
"I bow to thank Your Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
After Zhao Lin thanked him, he stood up, took the imperial edict, handed it to Shen Yuan, and said with a smile, "Eunuch, you scared me to death just now."
Anquan laughed and said, "I'm just joking with you, and you're scared?"
Anquan glanced at Sudi.
This guy seems to be the third place winner in the imperial examination. He looks as handsome as a beauty, but why is he so fierce? It looked like he wanted to kill someone just now.
It seems that we should not only pay attention to Zhao Lin, but also to the people around Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin ordered: "Come here, take the eunuchs to rest."
Someone immediately came over and led the safe followers to rest nearby, and naturally offered them some silver.
Zhao Lin personally led Anquan to the main hall and said, "Thank you for troubling me again, eunuch. It's really hard work."
Anquan smiled and said, "For such a good thing, we can't wait to go there every day."
The benefits Anquan got from Zhao Lin amounted to at least 100,000 taels of silver, as well as various house deeds and beauties. This was more than all he had gained in all these years. How could he not want to run away?
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one to announce the decree every time.
He had snatched this on purpose.
"Congratulations, Lord Zhao. There has never been such a young governor."
Lu Yan next to him secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I didn’t show it, otherwise I would be in trouble now.
The emperor is too kind to Zhao Lin. He has become a governor at such a young age. He will definitely be one of the ministers in the cabinet in the future.
We must take the opportunity to build good relationships.
Lu Yan said, "I will not delay any longer and will return to serve you immediately."
"Thank you, Lord Lu. Shen Yuan, please see Lord Lu off for me." Zhao Lin said.
"No, stay, stay."
Seeing that Shen Yuan was still holding the imperial edict, Lu Yan didn't dare to let him deliver it. He said a few polite words and left quickly.
"We have to go back and tell Lord He that even though Zhao Lin is the governor, he has no control over us. However, he has a bright future. Why not take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him?"
Lu Yan thought secretly.
Anquan glanced at Lu Yan's back and said to Zhao Lin, "You are really generous. You spent 20,000 horses."
Zhao Lin sighed, "Don't mention it. The one who just left was Lord Lü Yan, the deputy supervisor of the Ganxi Horse Farm. He was in charge of escorting the horses here, but they were robbed along the way."
"What?"
Anquan was shocked and asked quickly, "How much did you take?"
Zhao Lin said, "Fourteen thousand, only six thousand left."
"Damn it. Didn't Zhao Chenhan clear the area nearby? Why are there still robbers?" Anquan asked.
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know. This group of robbers probably numbered several thousand, so it's possible that Zhao Chenhan wasn't able to wipe them out completely."
Anquan and Zhao Lin exchanged a glance and immediately said, "When we get back, I'll tell Godfather immediately and have him file a serious complaint against Prince Zhao in front of His Majesty. He can't even do this little thing, how dare he mention the son of a military family?"
Zhao Lin said, "Thank you, Eunuch An."
"Master, there are more people outside. A large group of them have come. They said they came from the capital specifically to celebrate your promotion to governor."
The doorman ran over and said.
Zhao Lin and Anquan exchanged a glance and said, "You're welcome."
Soon, Bai Shicheng, Jiang Yichen, Han Renjie and others came in.
"Congratulations, Lord Zhao. Congratulations, Lord Zhao. The youngest governor in history. Young and promising. Young and promising."
These people all bowed their hands in congratulations, their faces all smiling.
