"Everything has come to this, your excellency must make plans early!"
"Return to the mansion!"
After taking a deep breath, Han Mo no longer had any intention of heading south.
He was currently unable to prevent Tong Guan's actions, and even if he were to submit a memorial to the emperor at this moment, it would likely be impossible to stop this matter.
In this era without telephones or satellites, by the time his memorial reached Bianliang City, the emperor had reacted, and an envoy was sent to Hebei, the Jurchens would have already invaded Yanjing City!
Although he didn't know what had happened, seeing Han Mo's grim expression, Jiang Yan didn't dare to ask anything and immediately ordered the team to change direction and return to the Zhizhi Shi Si.
"Young Master, are you worried that Prince Xin is fostering the enemy for his own gain?"
In Han Mo's office, watching Han Mo stand before the vast map of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time without speaking, Yuan Xingchi asked in a low voice.
"His affairs are easy to resolve, but the subsequent matters are truly a bit troublesome..."
As Han Mo said this, he angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
Seeing his extreme reaction, even Yuan Xingchi was a little confused. He had been by Han Mo's side for so long and had never seen Han Mo lose his temper like this.
"Tong Guan mismanages the country, deserving of death!"
After cursing through gritted teeth, Han Mo turned back to his seat.
"Young Master! This memorial cannot be written!"
Seeing Han Mo preparing to write the memorial, Yuan Xingchi quickly stepped forward and held his wrist.
"I'm not writing a memorial, I'm writing a letter to Master Yuan Miao!"
After letting out a long breath, Han Mo said in a flat tone.
"At this time, I'm afraid he can't influence His Majesty..."
"We'll talk after I finish writing the letter!"
Han Mo didn't explain much to Yuan Xingchi. After all, Shao Bowen had predicted the heavenly secrets and vaguely seen the Jingkang Incident.
But Yuan Xingchi did not have this ability, and it was too difficult to explain the memories he brought from the future.
Moreover, he didn't have anyone to replace Yuan Xingchi. The affairs of Japan still required him to make a trip, so the matters here were essentially unnecessary to mention.
"Man proposes, God disposes!"
After taking a deep breath, Han Mo picked up his brush and quickly wrote a letter. After sealing it with wax, he called Jiang Yan again and asked him to send the letter to Bianliang City quickly.
"You don't need to worry about the matters here, Sir. I will write to Li Bao now. When his army arrives, you can set off with the fleet!"
"Young Master, you..."
"Don't worry, Sir, I won't do anything rash. What I can do at this time is accumulate strength!"
Seeing Yuan Xingchi's concerned look, Han Mo quickly said.
"Don't worry about the affairs of Japan, Sir. Within half a year at most, there will be good news!"
"Then I'll entrust everything to you!"
After taking a deep breath, Han Mo immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Yuan Xingchi earnestly.
"You flatter me, Young Master. It is my honor to be of service to you!"
After quickly returning the salute, Yuan Xingchi said again.
Half an hour later, Yuan Xingchi finally walked out of Han Mo's office with two letters, while Han Mo once again fell into deep thought.
"Someone, go and call Xu Fengnian to me!"
After hesitating for a long time, Han Mo gave another order.
"Your Excellency, you have something to ask of me?"
Seeing Han Mo again, Xu Fengnian's face immediately showed an excited expression.
Since he obtained his official position, he had not had any formal assignments until now, and the opportunities to meet Han Mo had become fewer and fewer. Originally, he thought that Han Mo had already forgotten about him, but today he heard that Han Mo remembered him again, and he felt a strange little excitement.
"I have a task on hand that I need you to help me with. Originally, this kind of thing shouldn't be entrusted to you, but at this moment, I really don't know who else I can trust. You can choose to go or not."
Seeing the excited expression on Xu Fengnian's face, Han Mo said with a frown.
"Your Excellency, please just give me your orders. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have had a chance to succeed in my life, let alone bring honor to my ancestors now!"
As soon as Han Mo finished speaking, Xu Fengnian immediately knelt on the ground.
"Good. I won't say anything more. As long as you can help me accomplish this, from now on, as long as I, Han Mo, am alive, no one will be able to bully you!"
As Han Mo spoke, he reached out and helped Xu Fengnian up.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
"Have you inspected the granary outside the city?"
After finishing the pleasantries, Han Mo got straight to the point.
"The one newly built by the Zhizhou?"
"That's right. It contains eighty thousand shi of grain, and another fifty thousand shi will be delivered within the next few months. I'll give you three hundred men and ten thousand guan of copper coins. I want you to transport all this grain to Taiyuan City within half a year without anyone noticing!"
"Transported to Taiyuan City?"
Hearing him say this, Xu Fengnian was completely stunned.
"That's right, but you don't need to worry too much. General Wang is in Taiyuan at this time. I will send someone to notify him, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can directly find him! You can also rest assured about Mingzhou City. I will also speak to Lord Li, and he will help you with whatever you need. However, the matters along the way will depend on yourself. You cannot use official ships, do you understand?"
After Han Mo finished speaking, Xu Fengnian fell into silence.
This matter was too challenging for him. He was merely a servant in the Princess's mansion, how could he have handled such a big task?
"Can I bring my father?"
After a long silence, Xu Fengnian asked again.
"Of course, that's not a problem. But you cannot use the identity of the Princess's mansion. From today onwards, you are ordinary merchants! This matter is of great importance, you must think carefully!"
Looking at his still somewhat childish face, Han Mo said earnestly.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely accomplish this matter!"
After receiving Han Mo's permission, Xu Fengnian knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Han Mo.
"Good, then this matter is entrusted to you. Be very careful along the way!"
"Yes!"
