Bai Erlang: "You want to buy their house and land?"
Bai Shan compared the blueprints in his hand, shook his head, "I don't have any money, let's think of a way to let them rebuild according to our blueprints."
But this matter is not urgent, Bai Shan just kept it in his heart, the most urgent thing is to build the wharf.
The new servants obeyed the instructing of the steward, and carried the wood into the water to build the building. They were shivering when they went into the water in this weather.
This is not the most tormenting thing. The most tormenting thing is that every three days, the long-term workers here can line up to receive their wages. They are the only ones who have nothing but to watch.
As for the construction of the wharf, even the most common long-term laborer pays 30 Wen a day, and those who need to go into the water, or have craftsmen, the wages are higher, ranging from 50 to 100 Wen.
They obviously do fifty cents a day's work, but there is no money left.
The servants didn't dare to be lazy, for fear of being punished more if they were lazy, so they worked while sniffing in pain.
Because of the slack season, the long-term workers who were put in various official fields were also dispatched one after another to build the wharf together. Just for their health, Bai Shan would let them take turns to return to the official fields to rest.
The group of three stayed in the pier all the time, planning every day how to make the most of the people and things in their hands.
If Dong Xianwei hadn't sent someone to find Bai Shan, he could have stayed here until the pier was initially completed.
"Inspector Guo summoned all the county magistrates and said they wanted to discuss major events for next year."
Bai Shan had to go back.
As soon as he was about to leave, Bai Erlang naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so he dragged Yin or wanted to go back to the county together.
In the end, Fang Xiancheng could only stay and help Master Cui.
Zhou Man's stomach is already very big, but she is in good spirits. Apart from edema in her hands and feet, she has no discomfort.
Recently, I even went to Qingzhou City to hold a free clinic.
On the other hand, Mingda is tired, the bigger the belly, the worse the body feels. Sometimes just standing still makes his back ache, but it is uncomfortable to sit or lie down, and he has a bad temper.
As soon as Bai Erlang came back, she turned her head to the side, and when he surrounded her, she got up and supported her stomach and went home first with the eldest maid.
Bai Erlang rubbed his head in bewilderment, turned around and asked Zhou Man: "What's wrong with Mingda?"
Zhou Man said: "If you don't come back to take care of Mingda, she will be angry, you can coax her to go."
Bai Erlang, "Didn't you let me go out to work?"
He was not willing to go out at first, he was still the one who understood Daxun, why did he become his fault again when he turned around
Zhou Man raised his eyelids to look at him, "Are you going to leave Mingda and go on your own, and continue to discuss the right and wrong of this matter with me?"
Shocked, Bai Erlang immediately turned his head to chase Mingda.
Bai Shan turned his head to look at her, seeing her gentle face, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry if I don't come back to accompany you?"
"I'm not angry," Zhou Man said, "My body is better than Mingda's. Her pregnancy is much more uncomfortable than mine. The body is uncomfortable, and the mind is also uncomfortable. That's why I was wronged. My feet are swollen and my waist is sore, but everything else is fine. "
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Bai Shan asked after a pause, "So I won't come back..."
"I'm quite comfortable," Zhou Man asked thoughtfully, "Jiangnan is also quite difficult. Doesn't the pier have to be opened next year? If you're busy, you can actually live in Longchi."
She can also do something else. It's really cool to have no one to control her.
Bai Shan looked at her silently.
Zhou Man lowered his head slightly under his gaze, "I thought about it, it's cold, I prepared knee pads for you, just wait, I'll show you."
Bai Shan watched her go back to the house, and immediately asked Daji to ask, "What has she been doing recently, she doesn't want me to come back so much?"
Daji thought for a while and said: "I didn't do anything, but there were a lot of letters received and sent out, and there were a lot of doctors who came to the medical office to ask my wife about medical skills recently, and my wife took two young ladies to teach by her side. "
He paused and said, "The western cakes were also put in the medical office by the lady, and Jiulan is the one who follows the lady the most now."
It seems that the staff of the Medical Department is not enough.
Bai Shan looked at him suspiciously, "Is there nothing else?"
Daji shook his head, "At least what I saw was gone."
Bai Shan turned around and went back to the house in a daze. In this case, why did Man Bao avoid him and not want him to go home
Zhou Man took out the knee pads and gave them to him, "Try it on, the seaside is windy and cold in winter, you can wear it when you go to Longchi again."
Bai Shan hugged his kneepad and asked her, "There are a lot of people in Longchi now, and there are often people who suffer from the cold and get sick. Would you like to go there and show them their health?"
"Sure," Zhou Man replied, "Choose a time."
Bai Shan became more and more puzzled, but didn't show it on his face, and said, "Let's go together next time when I go to Longchi."
Zhou Man asked, "When are you going next time?"
"The twelfth lunar month?"
Zhou Man looked confused, "It's not good."
"Why?"
"There are many patients in the hospital."
Bai Shan glanced at her face, "Oh" and said: "That's all, let's choose another time."
Zhou Man nodded again and again.
In the evening, after dinner, Shan Shan went to the study to deal with official documents, and by the way, looked through the letters sent from various places recently.
He and Man Bao never set up defenses against each other, and their desks were leaning against each other. When Bai Shan was not in the county office, she would open his letters first, and send someone to Longchi for him. Go, leave the unimportant ones, she will reply to the letter or just press it on the desk.
Her own letters, of course, were also stuffed in the drawer.
After reading his own, Bai Shan looked at Zhou Man's desk, saw that she was writing with her head down, and went forward to read the letters on her desk.
Zhou Man raised his head and glanced at him, perhaps because he was too used to it, he didn't take it to heart for a while, so he lowered his head and continued to write his own things.
Bai Shan flipped through and found a lot of letters from Xiao Yuanzheng, not mutual friends, he never read them, but there were too many, six out of ten letters were from Xiao Yuanzheng.
He stacked them up and put them aside, without reading them, he dug out two letters from the prince, then leaned on the desk and asked Zhou Man: "I have read Your Highness's letter?"
Zhou Man responded unintentionally.
Bai Shan then opened the letter.
The first letter to the prince was from the two of them. Man Bao mentioned this matter when he wrote to him. First, he told Bai Shan to prepare official salt as much as possible to deal with the Jiangnan shock in the future;
The second is to warn Zhou Man not to be idle, but he still spread the tree she was looking for and the news that he wanted him to spread it.
The second letter was the most recent, and it was written entirely to Zhou Man.
The crown prince and Zhou Man asked for medicine, besides some wound medicines that might be used, there were also new medicines that she had made.
And the dose is still a lot.
Bai Shan vaguely guessed what Man Bao was hiding from him, and turned to look at her, "Have you been working on medicine recently?"
"Huh, huh?" Zhou Man came back to his senses, and immediately denied it, "No, I've been paying attention to rest recently, and I don't take medicine often."
