Bai Shan: "... who do you prefer?"
Man Bao said very casually: "I can accept anyone, as long as it is an individual."
Bai Shan looked at her speechlessly, and when she finished the booklet, he took her to dinner, and said, "Your Majesty let you out because he wanted you to find a way for the local medical department and the local county government to live in harmony and develop together. The person you want to bring with you at this time is equivalent to your right and left hand in the future, and even this person will take over your position, do you think this person can be casual?"
Man Bao frowned slightly, "I have taught all the students in the Imperial Medical Office, and they are all the same here."
After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "At this time, Zheng Gu and the others all have their own positions, and the Imperial Medical Office will not let the four of us, master and apprentice, be in the same place."
Isn't this just forming a party? Who knows if it will be selfish
So what does it matter who it is
Bai Shan said: "I thought you would have someone you liked."
After thinking for a while, Man Bao shook his head and said: "It's all right. The local medical department was just trying to figure it out. Everyone's ideas are different. There are so many students in the Tai Medical Department. I can't understand the thoughts of each of them. It's better to follow the fate, no matter who is here, we will work together and inspire each other."
When Bai Shan heard it, he thought it made sense, so he didn't care about her.
After dinner, Zhou Man sent a letter to Xiao Yuanzheng, and handed it to Bai Shan together with the notebook, and said like a grandpa, "Pass it out tomorrow."
Well, the post station is also under the management of the county government, unless it is a secret letter, otherwise the letter will really have to be handed over to the county government and then sent to the capital.
Bai Shan took it, put it on the table beside him, rubbed his forehead, went to bed and hugged her, and once the quilt was covered, he said: "Go to sleep, you have to go to the countryside tomorrow."
Going to the countryside is hard work. Generally, the county magistrates who are more conscientious will choose a few villages to visit every year, learn about the people's conditions, and persuade them to teach farming and mulberry;
The very conscientious county magistrate, like Yang Heshu back then, visited every inch of the land under his jurisdiction.
Bai Shan intends to go to every village as much as possible, at least to know the grain and sowing conditions.
However, unlike Yang Heshu, who likes to enter the village with only a young servant, he not only rides a horse, brings guards, but also Dong Xianwei and Yamen servants, and pulls two carts of grain behind him.
Man Bao also brought western cakes, along with some commonly used medicinal materials and so on.
Dong Xianwei asked, "Where do you want to start?"
Bai Shan said: "Look out along the way, go to Li Zhuang first."
It was going to the southwest direction, and it would take about two quarters of an hour to trot out of the city. County Captain Dong didn't expect him to go to such a nearby place first, and nodded after a moment of stupefaction.
So everyone went to Lizhuang first.
Most of the people in Lizhuang have the surname Li. They belong to the same family, and the head of the village is also surnamed Li, who is in charge of three nearby villages.
The villages near the city are better developed than other villages. There are already people planting seeds in the villages. Not every household has the grain seeds supported by the imperial court every year, and it is not enough grain seeds that can cover a family for a whole year. .
Therefore, no one from a family with a good family background is really waiting for the grain to be sown.
Naturally, Bai Shan also knew this, so he only checked the population situation in the village, and then took people to the field to watch people sow seeds, touched their seeds, and asked about last year's harvest.
Bai Shan grabbed a handful of seeds in his hand, pressed them one by one, turned his head and asked Zhou Man, "I remember that we need to wait for it to germinate."
Man Bao nodded, "It will be sent after two days of soaking."
Bai Shan asked the villagers curiously, "Don't you soak the seeds here?"
The villager said: "I have soaked it before, and it is said that it is a method from the Central Plains, but after we soaked it, it grows old, and many buds were broken when we sprinkled it. It is better not to soak it."
Bai Shan pondered and said: "Soaking hair now... Last night was a bit stuffy, so you can get up around midnight to soak your hair, and it should be about the same in the morning of the third day."
With one less day's work, the sprouts should not grow so long.
But the farmers were somewhat unwilling.
Although most of their seeds were planted by themselves, they were kept very hard, and there was not much surplus. If they were soaked, they would have to go to the county town to buy grain seeds, which was not worthwhile.
Bai Shan didn't force it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "You can choose two or three catties and soak it to see the effect. This is how we breed in the south, and the annual emergence rate is very high."
The county magistrate didn't force it, but the farmers hesitated, and couldn't help asking: "Adults can also farm?"
It's no wonder they were so suspicious of Bai Shan, it's because he is too white, very different from the previous magistrate Lu who looked shrewd and dark.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "I can't say I'm proficient, but I have been working in the field since I was a child. Farming is the same as studying. You can try a few more methods. I also know that farmers are not easy to take risks, so you can only use a few pieces of land each year. Try the new method given by the Yamen, if it is high-yielding, it will naturally be the best, and other places will be able to keep up next year, if it is not high-yielding, it will not have a great impact on you, just change to a new method next year."
When they were young, they were particularly interested in farming for a while. For this reason, they read a lot of agricultural books and miscellaneous notes, which recorded the methods of farming in various places, as well as various strange methods found by Zhou Man. Tried it on my own small farm.
Most of them are successful, of course, there are also failures.
The people in Qili Village and Master Bai are used to watching them toss, and let them toss wildly, and the toss has achieved results. They followed closely in the second year, and if they didn't, they smiled and said to them, "Eat a little The cutting grows a wisdom."
Bai Shan believes that farmers all over the world need to learn from such a fall.
There are quite a few villagers watching, most of them are not willing to take the effort, but some are willing to take the risk.
As Bai Shan said, take out three or four catties of grain seeds to try, even if this amount of grain seeds is discarded, the impact will not be too great.
Seeing that someone was willing to listen, Bai Shan was happy, so he communicated with them and asked, "How do you solve the fertilizer problem here?"
While Bai Shan was communicating with the villagers, Man Bao listened to Ke Ke and dug some things in the field and on the side of the mountain. Most of the children and village girls who followed her were around her.
Man Bao also specially called a few daughter-in-laws in the village and asked them: "Did you take the medicine yourself when you were sick, or went to the city to see a doctor?"
"What kind of medicine do you take? It will be fine after a while."
Man Bao asked: "Where is the child, do you want to suffer too?"
"It's more difficult for children. I usually go to the town to find a doctor to get two sets of medicine." The young daughter-in-law sighed and said, "The most fearful thing about raising a child is having a fever. My child has had a fever twice this year, and every time I'm terrified." .”
She didn't know that Zhou Man was an imperial physician, so she sized her up and asked with a smile, "Has Madam also given birth to a baby? I think both adults and Madam are very good-natured people, so the baby must be easy to take care of, right?"
