Magistrate Lu was the quickest to know about this, and his master couldn't help but said: "My lord, Magistrate Bai won't tear up the covenant, will he?"
County Magistrate Lu thought for a while and said: "No, he mentioned before that the alliance is a private matter. Besides the two of us, there are five county magistrates in Qingzhou City. It is better to be in the dark than in the open."
County Magistrate Lu thought of something and couldn't help smiling, "I finally understood what he said that day. I did all this for the people of Qingzhou. He is the parent officer of Beihai County, and I am the parent officer of Yidu County. As long as it is good for the people under the rule, and there are meritorious things, why should you be too rigid?"
The master frowned, "What does he mean by this, as long as it is beneficial to Beihai County, he will betray the covenant with your lord?"
"No, it's not betrayal," County Magistrate Lu shook his head and smiled, "I'm ten years older than him, but I didn't expect it to be false. I haven't thought about these things as well as their husband and wife."
The master is at a loss.
County Magistrate Lu had already got up and said, "Let's go, we'll also go to see Governor Guo. The busy farming season is coming to an end. Last year, because of the turmoil in Qingzhou's officialdom, the labor force in Yidu County was still far behind. Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, a group of servants was summoned. service."
"Not only some water canals need to be opened, but also roads need to be repaired." County magistrate Lu said, "We are going to ask Governor Guo for money. It's too late. I'm afraid the money will go to Beihai County and the medical office."
Governor Guo himself didn't expect that he would send Zhou Man away, and then welcome County Magistrate Lu who was crying for money.
Man Bao happily ran back to tell Bai Shan what they had agreed on this time, and said: "I think Governor Guo is very generous. Isn't the county government short of money now? Why don't you try to ask him for money?" ?”
Bai Shancai waved his hand boldly and said: "Don't worry, we don't need money in Beihai County now, we won't mention the money until the Dragon Boat Festival when we go to meet the governor."
As soon as Man Bao came back from Qingzhou City, he went to ask for money, and he acted too eagerly, no good.
Zhou Man was surprised: "You are not short of money?"
Bai Shan grinned, couldn't suppress the smile on his face and said: "Today Liwei sent someone back to say that the new salt farm has received the first batch of salt."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is sun-dried salt really better than boiled salt as you said?"
"It's even better than what I ate last time." Bai Shan took out the small jar of salt from the drawer and showed her, "I asked Liwei to build another crystallization pond in the back, and the brine was dried in the first crystallization pond. After the crystals are shoveled out, they are rinsed with salt water and filtered, and then exposed to the sun, the salt out of the sun is whiter than the salt in the previous crystallization pool, and the impurities filtered out are also less.”
Man Bao twisted a few salts to taste, and found that it was really, "Is this considered top-grade salt?"
Bai Shan nodded, "That's why I said that we are not short of money in Beihai County. At this speed, we can build more salt fields along the coastline, even if the old salt fields can no longer produce salt, we are not afraid."
"However, it is not enough to rely on the salt farm alone. There is not enough grain in Beihai County. It is not a solution for the grain shop to always import grain from outside. We still have to find a way to provide grain production."
He said: "Recently, I am harvesting wheat, and I plan to visit all the villages below."
Man Bao said, "I'm also going to take Wen Tiandong to the countryside for a free clinic."
The two hit it off and decided to go to the countryside together.
Fang Xiancheng is no stranger to the two people's eagerness to go to the countryside, but he couldn't help reminding Bai Shan again, "County magistrate, the county government doesn't store much salt now, and the official salt we give to the governor's mansion should be no later than seven days." It will be handed in in a month."
Bai Shandao: "I know this matter well, Fang County Prime Minister don't need to worry, the county government hopes you will take good care of it, since the long-term workers in the old saltworks can't cook salt, let's temporarily close it."
When Fang Xiancheng heard it, he couldn't help but look at Bai Shan's expression. Seeing his calm face and relaxed tone, he guessed that the new salt field had made progress, and it was even very likely that the salt had been boiled.
But recently I haven't heard of anyone cutting down trees on a large scale over there.
Fang Xiancheng asked hesitantly: "Then the Song family..."
"Aren't all the offenders sentenced and sent to the Governor's Mansion?" Bai Shan said, "Then the Song family is no different from other people in my place now, just treat them as usual."
"By the way, is Master Song still sick?" Bai Shan said with a smile: "If that's the case, then choose someone from below to take his place temporarily. Well, I don't think Zhao Ming is bad, let him temporarily Let’s take on the post of chief bookkeeper.”
Zhao Ming was born in Zhaojiazhuang. Although the Zhao family is far inferior to the Song family in Beihai County, they still have a lot of people. They can be regarded as the most powerful family besides the Song family.
Fang Xiancheng's eyelids twitched, knowing that Bai Shan's patience with Master Song had run out, and he planned to make another move.
Since Bai Shan decided to promote Zhao Ming, he called County Captain Dong and Zhao Ming to him, asked him to take the post of Chief Registrar temporarily, and said, "When I'm not around, you will help Fang County Chancellor handle the county government affairs. business."
Zhao Ming responded humbly.
Bai Shan still took County Captain Dong with him when he went to the countryside this time, and County Chancellor Fang already felt that the county magistrate and County Captain Dong seemed to be getting closer.
Oh, by the way, County Captain Dong is Zhao Ming's brother-in-law.
Man Bao watched the whole scene from the sidelines, and when he returned to the backyard, he couldn't help but click his tongue and said, "It's better for our medical department, don't worry so much."
Bai Shan: "Look again in 20 years, everything that happened in the county government today will be staged in the medical department. Now your medical department has just been established, and the purpose is only to build. The talents recruited are low-qualified, so naturally they have little authority. There will be fights, but in another 20 years, as long as the medical department stabilizes, there will be no shortage of these fights, and there will be fights where there are interests."
Man Bao thought for a while, but couldn't deny what he said, so he remained silent.
Bai Shan held her hand and said with a smile: "I'll think about the future later, it's more important to deal with the current matter first."
He said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Farming and mulberry is a big deal. It is true for our county government, and it is also true for your medical department."
Man Bao: "...what does this matter to our medical department?"
"Of course there is," Bai Shan said flickeringly: "Five grains are the basis of body energy, isn't that what you said? So five grains are important. Can the body of a person who has enough to eat be the same as that of a person who is hungry?"
Man Bao shook his head.
"So, if the people under the rule can have enough to eat, then the disease will be reduced a lot. Do you think the purpose of the county government and the medical department are the same?"
Man Bao couldn't shake her head to deny it, but she also knew that he was fooling her, so she said, "What can I do?"
"I don't know, let's have a look around, don't you want to dig some flowers and trees? Then go to the beach, if we meet fishermen going into the sea, we can also see if there are any living creatures that you have never seen before. I'll buy it for you."
Man Bao tried his best to suppress his smile, "That's what you said."
Bai Shan nodded.
