Zhou Man fanned his cattail fan back to the backyard, counted the time when Bai Shan would come back, sighed, and called Wu Yuesan to say: "Pack up two bags, we are going out at night."
He said again: "Put the things in the house in order. If the crown prince comes to Beihai County later, he may live with us, and we have to move out at that time."
Even Wu Yue waited a little nervously, "His Royal Highness is coming?"
Zhou Man nodded, waved his hand and said: "Go and tidy it up, by the way, in addition to the official uniform, put two sets of better clothes inside, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, we can't be underestimated now."
Since you want good clothes, you need good shoes and accessories to decorate. Once you organize things like this, you can’t hold them in two bags.
Wu Yue said: "Lady, put it in a box and put it on the car."
Zhou Man rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "Good idea, go, let someone get the carriage ready."
Bai Shan didn't know anything at this time, and was leisurely looking at the salt in the warehouse with his hands behind his back.
The dried salt is packed in fine sacks and piled up in the warehouse. To prevent moisture, the ground is separated by stones and boards to a hand-wide space, and the salt bags are piled on top.
Bai Shan counted, checked the ledger and nodded slightly. The ledger was fine. According to the current salt price, their inventory would be enough for Beihai County's financial expenditure for a year.
Salt really makes money.
Bai Shan reached out and patted the salt bag, sighing.
Every time Zhou Liwei came to the warehouse, he felt a sense of accomplishment and was very happy. He couldn't understand his little uncle's sigh, "Little uncle, is there less salt?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "No, I was thinking, salt is something that we rarely use, but it is an indispensable thing in every household, but it is so difficult for the essential things to get to the common people at a low price, can this be a good thing ?”
Zhou Liwei didn't quite understand, "Isn't the price of salt always the same?"
From childhood to adulthood, it seems that nothing has changed.
Bai Shandao: "But now the cost of obtaining salt has been reduced. If we don't cook salt, the consumption of wood will also be reduced. As long as the climate is suitable and manpower can keep up, we can dry sea salt on a large scale..."
Bai Shan paused, and kept many words in his heart, only said: "I don't know how much the price of salt will be at that time?"
Zhou Liwei thought simply, and said with a smile: "If there is too much salt, it will definitely be cheaper."
Bai Shan didn't nod his head, but he didn't shake his head either. His eyes swept over his official salt bit by bit, and he left the warehouse with some satisfaction.
Zhou Liwei locked the warehouse and nodded with the soldiers guarding outside.
The two most important places in Dajiawan, one is the salt field, and the other is the three large warehouses that have been opened up, so Luo inspectors have sent confidantes to guard them.
But only Zhou Liwei has the key to get in and out of the warehouse, and only Zhou Liwei can lead people in and out.
Bai Shan walked with him for a while, looked back and said, "The salt field should have its own soldiers."
Zhou Liwei: "Huh?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and then shook his head, "Forget it, for the long-term, it's better to intersect. When there are more people in the salt field, you can choose some of the long-term workers to be the salt field guards, and inspect Luo. Soldiers guarding warehouses and saltworks together.”
"Of course, the main responsibility for inspection and defense lies with Luo Inspector."
Zhou Liwei didn't quite understand it yet, and Bai Shan was about to teach him some ways of checks and balances when he heard the rapid sound of horseshoes.
He turned to look.
Daji saw that it was the servant of the county government, so he waved and called to attract the two people who were still running to the salt field.
When the two yamen servants heard the sound, they turned their heads and took a look, then immediately turned their horses and ran over.
The two of them were very tired, and the horse was also tired, so they jumped off the horse and said, "My lord, the governor's office sent a letter yesterday, saying that Governor Guo wanted to come to our Beihai County in person, but today they sent another messenger, saying that it was from Qingzhou city. My lord, tell your lord to go to Qingzhou City quickly, Master Zhou told us to call your lord quickly, let your lord go back quickly."
The yamen servant finished speaking such a long sentence in one breath, and almost missed it in one breath.
Zhou Liwei didn't know that his little uncle came here to hide from the governor, so he immediately urged: "Little uncle, then you should go back quickly."
He was angry again, "What kind of nobleman is calling you back in such a hurry?"
Bai Shan had already guessed it, and became happy, "You will see me later, you stay here and watch the saltworks, I will go back right away."
Zhou Liwei: "Can I see you too?"
But Bai Shan had already hurried to his residence, and didn't answer his question.
He took Daji and the accompanying yamen servants back to the county seat, but they didn't enter the city, because it was already dark when they reached the gate of the city. Although the gate of the city was not closed, it would not be open for long.
Zhou Man asked the carriage to be parked on the roadside outside the city gate, and she sat on the shaft with her legs dangling. When she saw the group of them coming fast, she immediately covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief and waved to them.
The dust was flying, Bai Shan reined in the horse when he arrived, looked at the horse and cart she brought, and asked, "Is this going to drive at night?"
Zhou Man nodded, "Guo Governor must be angry and guilty now, we'd better go there earlier, don't make the relationship too rigid."
Tomorrow they will enter the city as soon as the city gates open. Seeing their hard work and hard work, Governor Guo must be able to understand that they didn't deliberately let him go.
Bai Shan thought for a while, and felt that what she said made sense, so he turned to the yamen servants and said, "Go back."
Dong Xianwei is also in the convoy, he really wants to go to Qingzhou City with Bai Shanzhouman, but he can't, because Fang Xiancheng is in Qingzhou City at this time, and Beihai County must be guarded here, otherwise the county magistrate and county magistrate He and the county lieutenant are not in the county yamen, so the chief secretary of Song can't shake the sky
Sure enough, when Bai Shan saw Lieutenant Dong, he smiled slightly and said, "The county government has been entrusted to Lieutenant Dong and County Chancellor Fang. By the way, where is Cheng County Fang?"
There are too many people here, so it's not easy for Dong Xianwei to tell him that Fang Xiancheng went to Qingzhou City to find the county magistrate for help, so he could only say: "It just so happens that it is a holiday, and Fang Xiancheng took his family to Qingzhou City to do some shopping."
Bai Shan: "... I'm taking a rest today, but I'm going to the office tomorrow. Hasn't he come back yet?"
Dong Xianwei looked at Bai Shan innocently, hoping that he could understand his eyes.
Bai Shan didn't understand it, but he guessed it in his heart and got a general idea.
Fang Xiancheng gave Bai Shan the impression that he was a workaholic, the more work he was given, the happier he was, and he didn't dislike heavy work at all.
Would such a person skip work and accompany his family to go shopping in Qingzhou City
It would be nice if he didn't take his holidays to work overtime.
So he must have gone to the county magistrate Lu.
Bai Shan thought about it, nodded with County Captain Dong, and said: "County Dong will keep an eye on the county government, and we will be back in two days."
Upon hearing this, County Captain Dong asked excitedly, "My lord, do you want to confiscate the mansions of the wealthy households in the city for backup?"
"No need," Bai Shan said after taking a deep look at him, "Don't mess around, if a nobleman comes, he can just live in the backyard of the county government."
Whose family is requisitioned
Is it from the Song family
Is he insane? Is he sending a thigh to the Song family at this time
