Fang Xiancheng didn't expect him to make such a big move, and couldn't help saying: "My lord, even if you change all the managers of the saltworks, it may be difficult for us to control the saltworks."
He lowered his voice and said, "Magistrate Lu has tried this method before."
It’s just that in the end both sides suffered, and the County Magistrate Lu couldn’t afford to gamble, so he took a step back before the loss was greater. The salt farm was replaced by a steward surnamed Song, and Fang Xiancheng, who was still the chief bookkeeper at the time, was promoted to the county magistrate. In a word, the former county magistrate's surname was Song, and he was a brother of Song's master.
After he resigned "due to illness", Fang Xiancheng replaced him, and Song's director was brought up at that time, and Song's director was still in charge of the salt field.
So Fang County Chancellor was promoted all the way up by Lu County Magistrate, and Song Master Book is from the Song family line. What about Dong Xianwei
Bai Shan smiled slightly, and said to Fang Xiancheng: "Don't worry, I can bear the worst outcome of this matter, so you can do it with confidence, the sky will fall, and I, the county magistrate, will bear it."
Fang County Prime Minister stared at Bai Shan for a while, nodded and then retreated.
Is this the difference between a noble family and a poor family
Or is there a difference between background and no background
If it was County Magistrate Lu, he must have planned it slowly and would not have dared to make such a big move.
Man Bao watched him leave, tsk-tsk said: "You don't have enough manpower, Fang Xiancheng speaks and shuts only Lu County magistrate."
Bai Shan said indifferently: "Just tame him. It's just that I just came here and we don't know each other well. After two years, you can see who he is!"
Bai Shan spoke domineeringly, but Zhou Man still asked him, "Who do you plan to use at the new saltworks?"
Since Fang Xiancheng is the magistrate of Lu County, he can't be used. You must know that Qingzhou has more than one place near the sea, and this thing can't be spread around before the results are produced.
Even Zhou Man, who is a good teacher, knows that it is his own merits that must be grasped, and he must not take advantage of others.
Bai Shan pondered and said: "I'll look for it again. If Lieutenant Dong is available, I'll use it. If not, I can only ask for someone from my family."
Bai Shan asked her, "Are there any elder brothers and nephews who are willing to come with me?"
Man Bao murmured, "Lizhong is not good, he is still farming in Zhuangzi and studying at the same time, Lixue they also want to select officials, what do you think of Liwei?"
Bai Shan sat up straight involuntarily, nodded repeatedly and said, "He's not bad, why don't you write a letter and ask him to come over?"
Bai Shan got up and walked around twice, thinking: "The matter of salt is not just a salt field, there are still many things that can be done in the future, but Li Wei has come to my place, what about the fourth brother?"
Man Bao waved his hand and said: "There is still Lijun, don't worry, there is no shortage of people in the family."
This is the benefit of having a large family.
So Bai Shan turned to the back of the desk, picked up a pen and began to write letters to his family, "Qingzhou is too far away from the capital, let Liwei bring his wife along, so as not to miss her."
Man Bao said "hmm" twice, and said to him: "Ask at home again, if there is any news from the Imperial Medical Office, why didn't you send me someone?"
Man Bao had been writing to Xiao Yuanzheng for a long time, but there was no news at all, and he didn't know whether he would send someone over.
Everyone doesn't know whether Xiao Yuanzheng answered or not, but the Zhou family started preparing for Zhou Liwei as soon as they received the news from Bai Shan.
Old Zhou Tou said to him: "When you get there, listen to your uncle and sister-in-law, and don't cause trouble for them."
Zhou Liwei agreed.
Mrs. Liu came to talk to Lao Zhou and Mrs. Qian, "Bai Shan is an only son, and he doesn't have any brothers. He still needs a lot of care from his in-laws in the future."
Qian said with a smile: "The in-laws are polite now, my uncle is willing to take a few children, that is the children's blessing."
Longzhou wanted such a blessing very much.
After hearing the news, the family who stayed in the capital couldn't help but came to the door, and said to Mrs. Liu: "It's not convenient to always live in Zhou's house. After all, this is the dowry of my nephew and daughter-in-law. If it spreads, outsiders will say that we are long Zhou Bai's family is incompetent, Bai Shan is on soft food."
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Mr. Sanlang is too worried. Our grandparents have lived in Zhou's house for so many years, and no one has discussed it before. How can we say it now?"
"Today is different from the past. At that time, the two of them were not married, so it can be said that they lived in the future Yue's family, but now that they are married, it is not appropriate for you to still live in Zhou's house." Bai Min said: "Aren't you in the capital?" I bought several yards, why not choose one and move out.”
Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "I'll discuss it with the children later. Before the two children left, they had entrusted their in-laws to take care of our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If we move out suddenly, I'm afraid people will think that our two families are at odds. It’s also embarrassing, so I talked to the children about it.”
Bai Min was silent for a while, and couldn't find any other better excuse to persuade him, because he also didn't want to worsen the relationship with the Zhou family.
He paused for a long time, and finally said: "I heard that Bai Shan is struggling in Qingzhou, and there is no manpower available?"
Mrs. Liu, "I haven't heard from the child. He wrote back and said that it's good there. The spring planting is coming to an end. He gets along well with the officials and people in Qingzhou. It's because he and his wife are busy, so the family No one cares about it."
Mrs. Liu knew why he came when he asked about the manpower, and without giving him a chance to speak, she said directly: "I originally wanted to take Mrs. Zheng there in person, and the two children are busy with other things. , me and his mother can help them take care of the back house."
"But the two children feel sorry for me. They feel that Qingzhou is far away, and it will be tiring to go there, so they didn't let me go, and your younger siblings didn't want to leave me. In the end, they asked their in-laws to let a child from their second room go. Look after the two kids."
Bai Min hurriedly said: "Auntie, there are many younger generations in the clan, why don't you pick a few children from the clan and send them over, so you can't bother the in-laws all the time."
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Choose it next time, the in-laws have packed up their things at this moment, and it's not an important thing, that kid Liwei went to give them a baby chores."
He also said: "The children of the clan should still focus on studying. In the future, it is better to be an official in the imperial examination. How can they bother with these mundane affairs?"
Bai Min: ...It is because it is difficult for some children to study and become an official, so they have to go out with the people in the clan who have already passed the examination to select officials, and they have some prospects.
When children from poor families are sent out to become officials, they will bring their relatives and clan members to take care of housework and outside affairs. Some small families will naturally do the same in order to train their children.
Of course, their vision will be a little higher, and what they want to do is not to do things like "servants" or "vulgar helpers", but to directly participate in local affairs.
When Bai Shan left, he took Daji and Liu Gui with him, and even the cook. Now that he is writing a letter to ask for someone, it is obviously not for the so-called housework. Own hands, so let people pass.
Such an opportunity is so cheap for the Zhou family!
