Master Song thought about it, got up and went downstairs, no matter what, Song Min would fish it out, and the reputation of the Song family could not be damaged.
He sighed, feeling that Bai Shan's goal had been achieved.
Zhou Man picked up a plate and looked at it, and felt that it was still not good-looking, far worse than what she saw in the capital, "Next time I go to Qingzhou City to see if there is any good, His Royal Highness is not here, it is Come, I don’t mind too much if the porcelain in our house is not good enough.”
Bai Shan also looked around, but there was also nothing he liked, so he nodded, "Okay, let's go to Qingzhou City to have a look next time when we are in Xiumu."
Anyway, Qingzhou City is not far away, so I can play there for a day when I am resting, and then I will chat with Lu County Magistrate, and discuss with him the problems of Beihai County.
As the predecessor, he must know more about the situation in Beihai County than he, the new county magistrate. Since they are all allies, it is natural to communicate and cooperate more.
Zhou Man was about to turn around and go out, when she caught sight of a slender beauty bottle on a shelf, she let out a "huh" and stepped forward to look.
The shopkeeper had already been waiting. Before Bai Shan and Zhou Man didn't like his porcelain, he didn't say a word. Now that Zhou Man liked it, he immediately went up to him and introduced with a smile on his face: "Master Zhou likes this beauty." A vase? This was brought from the area around Shangzhou, and it’s the best white porcelain, whether it’s paired with winter jasmine flowers in spring, or red plums and wintersweets in winter, it’s all very beautiful.”
Bai Shan glanced at it and said, "Take it down and have a look."
The shopkeeper immediately took it down carefully and showed it to Bai Shan.
The two of them went up to have a look, and found that it was indeed delicate, although not as detailed as those used in the capital, but it was also interesting.
Bai Shandao: "What is the price?"
After thinking about it for a while, the shopkeeper tentatively said, "Ten hanging coins?"
Bai Shan: "Are you asking me?"
The shopkeeper became more confident, and said with a smile: "If the county magistrate and Mr. Zhou like it, ten hanging coins will be enough."
Bai Shan said without changing his face: "It's too expensive, up to eight hangs."
Brother Zhou also bought some porcelain from Shangzhou and sent it to the grasslands and the Western Regions. In the past two years, in order not to fall from the agricultural registration to the commercial registration, he mainly bought and sold medicinal materials, tea, cattle and sheep and other agricultural products. Handled less.
But no matter how little it is, there are still some, Bai Shan has not missed the porcelain he brought back, so he naturally knows how much the bottle is worth.
The shopkeeper didn't expect Magistrate Bai to be so ruthless, and the price reached his bottom line with one offer.
Seeing that County Magistrate Bai and Lord Zhou were looking at him quietly, he nodded with a heartache on his face and said, "Forget it, eight hanging coins, my lord will take it."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "We didn't bring so much money with us, so we sent it to the backyard of the county government office to pay the money to Wu Yue."
The shopkeeper responded, and brought a slip to Bai Shan to sign.
The two of them wanted to go out contentedly, but as soon as they turned around, Master Song led someone in.
The two met each other, Bai Shan was stunned for a moment, but Master Song immediately laughed, raised his hand and said in salute: "Master Bai, Master Zhou, what a coincidence today, are you two here to buy porcelain?"
Bai Shan also came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Go for a walk after dinner, Master Song also has this kind of elegance today?"
It's not uncommon for Bai Shan and Zhou Man to go shopping, but what's strange is that Mr. Song, who can't see the end of the dragon, will go out for shopping.
Master Song smiled and said: "Coincidentally, the old man also took a walk after dinner. What kind of good porcelain did the two adults fancy? I wonder if we can share it?"
Bai Shan felt that he didn't want to appreciate the porcelain with them, but that he rarely had time to go out shopping with Zhou Man, so he didn't intend to spend his time playing games, so he said directly: "We've already finished watching it, it's just an ordinary Bai Shan. It’s all porcelain, Master Song’s house should have quite a few.”
He looked out at the sky and said with a smile, "It's getting late..."
The hint is strong,
Master Song had no choice but to cut straight to the point: "Master Bai, Mr. Song would like to have a private conversation with him. Do you think we should sit in the teahouse next door?"
Bai Shan glanced at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man knew that he would not be at a disadvantage, and that the county government office and the medical office were separated. She could get news from Bai Shan, but it was difficult for her to directly participate in the affairs of the county government office, so she nodded slightly, "I'll go shopping on the street for a while." Go shopping and see what else is worth buying."
Bai Shan smiled and said yes, and asked Xibing to follow her closely.
Zhou Man and Master Song nodded and left with the cakes.
Xibing was a little unhappy, thinking that Mr. Song was too unsightly, and the lady and the master finally had time to go shopping.
"He's not an official in the county government office, what important matter can he have to tell the Lord Lang right now?"
Zhou Man picked up the wooden carvings on the booth indifferently and said, "Is it about Song Min and the salt field?"
Zhou Man's guess is right, Master Song is indeed looking for Bai Shan for Song Min and the saltworks.
He first expressed his heartache and regret that Song Min ordered Zhu Qi and others to investigate the new salt field, and then said that Song Min is his clan after all, although he hates iron and does not agree with his actions, but he has to Run for him, so I hope the county magistrate will be lenient.
Of course, in order to express sincerity and resolve conflicts, he believes that the Longchi Salt Field should start construction as soon as possible, and June is approaching, Beihai County also needs to send a batch of official salt to the Governor's Mansion, and the county government also needs to have income...
In short, Mr. Song is willing to come forward to persuade the stewards and workers of the saltworks to start work. He has worked in the saltworks before, so it is still a bit thin-skinned.
Bai Shan, Bai Shan refused.
Master Song was taken aback for a moment.
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Master Song may have misunderstood. The closure of Longchi Salt Field was not because the stewards and workers were unwilling to start work. The salt farm was the salt farm of the Beihai County Government. The stewards were disobedient and they were changed; the workers were unwilling to start work." It would be good to recruit another batch to learn how to cook salt, the reason why it stopped working is because the county doesn't want it to open."
The crown prince is coming soon, and the salt drying method is about to leave Beihai County to face the whole Jin Dynasty. Will he still care about a small Longchi salt field
Bai Shan emphasized again: "All the salt and iron in the world are government-run, and the Longchi Salt Field is also Dajin, which belongs to the Beihai County Government. No one can surpass the Beihai County Government to determine its life and death."
Master Song's complexion changed, and he couldn't help showing a stern look on his face, and he looked at Bai Shan with stern eyes.
Bai Shan looked back at him lightly, without fear.
The eyes of the two met in the air, and for a long time, Mr. Song's forehead was sweating, and he couldn't help but look away, "Master Bai, it's better to think again, after all, in one month, there will be officials at the governor's mansion." .”
Bai Shan's face was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.
Master Song's heart continued to sink, he was not sure if Bai Shan was just pretending, or if he really had such confidence, could it be that there was something tricky in the new salt field, he already had enough official salt
