You can't buy as much salt as you want. Officials who come to buy will bring official quotations, also called salt quotations.
It is the amount of salt that needs to be purchased approved by the governor's office.
Take this official guide and go to the salt producing area to buy official salt. The best result is sufficient amount, and the bad result is insufficient amount.
Insufficient quantity will also be marked on the official quotation, and the amount sold will be written down, so as to prevent someone from stealing official salt and using it as private salt.
Of course, this does not completely eliminate private salt, it just blocks a road.
Zhou Liwei has been studying these things for a while, but this is the first time he has come into contact with this kind of government affairs, so he is still a little nervous, and his palms are sweating.
He glanced at Bai Shan, who smiled at him, nodded, and stood aside with his arms folded waiting.
Seeing this, the other officials showed a little more respect for Zhou Liwei, the manager of the saltworks, and hurriedly brought out the officials.
Zhou Liwei glanced at it, and then said to Changgong behind him, "Bring the scale."
Bag after bag of official salt was carried out, weighed and put aside, the official who bought it stepped forward, touched the bag of salt and asked, "Can you take it apart and have a look?"
Zhou Liwei stepped forward and opened the bag to show him.
The other purchasers also gathered around immediately. Everyone twisted a little salt and put it in their mouths to taste. It was indeed the same as the salt sent last season, and everyone nodded in satisfaction.
They checked it carefully, and randomly selected a bag of salt and released more than half of it for inspection. After confirming that the quality was the same, they returned it with satisfaction.
After weighing a sufficient amount of salt, Zhou Liwei wrote on the official quotation that the amount had been purchased and redeemed, then stamped the saltworks stamp, and looked at the purchasing official, "Where's the money?"
After the official was stunned for a moment, he quickly asked people to catch up with the car, and asked them to carry the money down. The two sides made an agreement, so Zhou Liwei asked Guan Yin to collect the money, and the other party asked someone to pull the salt truck aside.
But he didn't leave, and continued to watch other salt buyers.
Bags of salt were brought out one after another, and one warehouse was sold out. Zhou Liwei turned around and took them to the warehouse next door.
Everyone's eyes flickered, Beihai County is really capable, and there is really so much salt to replace the salt fields in the south of the Yangtze River
This matter has little impact on them. For the salt officials who buy them, as long as there is official salt for them to buy, where can they buy it
To be honest, seeing the salt farm in the south of the Yangtze River being robbed of their business, they were still a little secretly happy.
But in fact, the salt in Beihai County is not enough to supply so many people.
As soon as they left, Zhou Liwei said, "Little uncle, there are still sixty-eight bags of salt in the storeroom, and it will not be enough for me to buy a few more."
He said: "The time is too short. Although the salt production is quite high now, there are many places that need to buy salt."
Bai Shan nodded, "I know, don't worry, I have a solution."
His solution was to write a letter to the governor of Laizhou.
From time to time, an official from Beihai County came to buy official salt. He sometimes asked them to take them to the salt field, and sometimes introduced them to officials from Laizhou.
Officials who bought official salt were fooled into going to Laizhou, where they not only bought official salt, but also transported official salt at Laizhou wharf.
Bai Shan smiled slightly when he heard about it, and handed the envelope to the yamen servant, "Send it to the post station. This is a letter to Dengzhou. This is for the capital. Send it."
"yes."
Bai Shan stretched his waist and turned his neck to go home through the small door. After walking for a while, he saw Zhou Zhou Lang standing on the porch staring at a flower in a daze.
Bai Shan stepped forward, "Fourth Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Looking at the flowers," Zhou Zhoulang said blankly, "I've been back for two days, how do you think I still shake things when I look at them?"
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment and then said: "The sequelae of being on a boat for too long?" He has never been on a boat for so long, so he doesn't know.
Zhou Zhoulang shook his head, "No, I also took a boat when I went there. Although I felt a little shaking when I got off the boat, it was fine after a night's sleep. This time it was especially serious. Look, this flower is growing well. Moved again."
Bai Shan: "...it was blown by the wind.
"Oh," Zhou Lang looked away, turned to look at the pillars in the corridor, and rubbed his forehead.
Bai Shan asked with concern: "How is it? Did it shake?"
"Not at the moment, but sometimes when I turn around or turn my head suddenly, it will shake. The most important thing is that I often have nightmares. When I am half asleep and half awake, I feel that the bed is shaking, just like being on a boat," Zhou Lang sighed. : "Bai Shan, do you think I am sick?"
Bai Shan dragged him away, "Ask Man Bao if he is sick."
"No, listen to me," Zhou Zhoulang held him back, "Isn't there a sentence in what you often say, that is, knowledge and crafts have their own specialties..."
"Industry specializing in surgery?"
"That's right, that's right." Zhou Zhoulang exhaled, "I think Man Bao might not be very good at this, after all, she has never been on a boat before."
Bai Shan looked at the other party seriously, and after confirming that he was serious, he nodded and said: "You are right, then I will help you go back to rest first, and I will send someone to invite a doctor later."
Zhou Zhoulang supported his hand and walked, "This is not good, will sister-in-law be angry if she finds out?"
Bai Shanren smiled and said: "No, sister-in-law is busy taking care of her son now, I will let the doctor come and leave quietly, so I won't know."
Zhou Zhoulang exhaled, "Okay, just come quietly."
After sending him back to his room, Bai Shan lifted up his robe and ran to the medical office to find Zhou Man.
Zhou Man was compiling medical books, and because he was in the middle of writing, he didn't go home from the office.
Hearing the movement, he looked up, saw that it was Bai Shan, then lowered his head to write again, "Why are you here?"
"Come and invite the doctor."
Zhou Man didn't raise his head, "Who are you asking for?"
"Fourth brother."
Zhou Man stopped writing and thought for a while, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shan: "Sickness?"
He was also a little uncertain, and said with a smile: "He said that he is shaking when he sees things now, and he always has nightmares at night. He thinks he is still on the boat. He wants to ask another doctor to take a look."
Zhou Man pondered for a while, and finally put down his pen, "He can't trust my medical skills."
Bai Shanren smiled and said, "He said it's a specialization in surgery, you may not be good at curing seasickness."
Zhou Man was taken aback, his eyes lit up slightly, "Yes, it's really possible, so who should I ask? Dr. Tian and Dr. Shao have both gone back to the Yamen. Well, Dr. Wei is still there, so Dr. Wei can go and have a look."
Zhou Man stroked his chin and began to think, "Actually, the fourth brother's main problem is not seasickness, he is worried, and he can't be at peace until now, that's why it's been so late. I've already prescribed tranquility soup for him."
Bai Shan sighed, and became more serious, "It's no wonder that fourth brother is afraid. I'm scared when I think about it now. Brother Tang Xuexiong's letter arrived today, and he has gone to Jiangnan. Since Mr. Wei wrote a letter to the new Yanzheng, Yang Xue Brother Tang has been assassinated all the time, some were assassinated on the road, and some were assassinated in the mansion, Tang Xuexiong and the others went all the way to Jiangnan, and after entering Jiangnan, they were assassinated twice."
He sighed and said: "Those people are already crazy, and it's thanks to the fourth brother who came out of Senior Brother Yang empty-handed. Whenever he brings something, even if they can't find something wrong with it, I'm afraid they will think about it. Don’t miss out on wrong kills.”
Just thinking about it made him feel scared, let alone Zhou Zhoulang.
Zhou Man frowned, disgusted, "When will the situation in Jiangnan be stable?"
"Soon," Bai Shan said, grabbing her hand, "The new Yan government is going to implement it. They have made such a big noise recently, it's impossible to leave no traces, let alone Senior Brother Tang."
