Tang He stood on the pier and looked into the distance, watching one ship after another entering the port, and one after another leaving the port, his restless mood gradually settled down.
"It's shocking," Tang He said softly, "With this achievement alone, you can be famous in history."
As long as the Longchi Wharf is open for a day, Bai Shan's name will be circulated for a day.
Bai Shan asked with a smile, "Brother Xue invited me to the pier early in the morning just to say this?"
Tang He smiled slightly, "Not really, I just want to see if your official ship from Longchi Wharf has returned."
He put his hands back and asked Bai Shan seriously, "Have you thought about exterminating the pirates?"
"Extermination is impossible, but it is possible to keep out the enemy and stop more people from joining the bandits," Bai Shan said, "as long as they pay a higher price and get less benefit, they can stop many daredevils." People who are big but not desperadoes follow the bandits."
"That's why you proposed General Liu to take over as governor of Qingzhou?"
Bai Shan added: "One."
Tang He nodded and asked, "When will General Liu arrive?"
After counting the time, Bai Shan said: "In four or five days, His Majesty will still hand over the management of the Bohai Navy to him. Qingzhou Inspector is concurrently in charge, and he will move the military account to Qingzhou."
"Which county do you put it in?" Tang He smiled and said, "I think your Beihai County is very good. It is close to the sea, has salt fields, and a wharf. If the pirates come ashore, your Beihai County will bear the brunt of it. The garrison should need a lot."
Bai Shan pondered, and asked after a while: "You should tell me what you want to do directly. I'm a little flustered when you ask me like this."
Tang He said: "If you want to find out where the salt on the official ship went, and who shipped the wasted salt, you must ask the pirates to confess, and your ships at Longchi Wharf have been harassed by pirates all the time, so you have Have you thought about suppressing bandits? Let's go together?"
Bai Shan: "You? Do you have soldiers?"
"I don't have a soldier, but I have an official position," Tang He said with a smile: "To inspect the imperial censor and to inspect the world, I can ask the governor of Pingzhou and the governor of Dengzhou to send troops to suppress bandits together in my capacity."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart fluttered instantly.
Tang He saw it, and encouraged him to say: "It means that I am investigating the shipwreck case, otherwise I would not get involved in this matter. I will also write a letter to His Majesty in conjunction with the military administration of various state governments."
Bai Shan asked, "Where are the soldiers and horses in Laizhou?"
"Laizhou is not good, I have other uses."
Bai Shan nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to convince General Liu, senior brother, will you go with me?"
Tang He shook his head and refused, "I can't leave Laizhou for too long, and I can't let people erase the things I found so easily."
Bai Shan was surprised, "Then you still come here, I thought..."
"Think there's nothing wrong with it?" Tang He shook his head and smiled, "You have to be more relaxed when investigating the case. I forced them too hard before, so they all shrank and didn't dare to move. I didn't make any progress. That's good. I Come out to relax, they can also breathe, win-win, why not do it?"
Bai Shan twitched the corner of his mouth perfunctorily, "Brother, as long as you are happy."
After talking about the business, Tang He started to turn his head to have some fun. Seeing many laborers squatting or standing around the pier waiting to be selected, he asked Bai Shan, "Are these the workers you hired to build the pier before? "
Bai Shan glanced at it and said, "Partly."
"What about the rest?"
"Divided into four parts, the best ones are kept on the wharf and are under the control of the Haisi Yamen. The wharf needs manpower to operate and repairs," Bai Shan said: "Most of them took the money and went back to their hometowns. Some of them are homeless, and I put them in the official farmland to do long-term work, and as long as they do well, I can settle down later.”
"The others stayed here." Bai Shan nodded his chin towards the laborers, and said, "Although it's hard work, they can make a lot of money, not much worse than when they built the wharf."
Tang He nodded and said, "Everyone has their own path."
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Yes, what I can do is to let them choose more paths." He smiled slightly, "As for how to choose, it's up to them."
Tang He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "I can't do such trivial things, and that's what I admire most about you and Changbo."
Bai Shan was speechless for a while, "Isn't investigation more trivial?"
"So what's the matter, looking for those physical evidences is like opening a gift box. Before opening, no one knows what's inside, full of unknown pleasure, but the results of these things you have done have already been predetermined, and there is no such thing as that." A sense of surprise."
Bai Shan: "I feel a sense of accomplishment when things are done."
"I have a sense of accomplishment after solving the case, and I still have a sense of surprise in the process." Tang He shook his head and said, "This is incomparable."
Instead of arguing with him, Bai Shan pointed to the fishing boat slowly approaching the shore in the distance and said, "The fishermen who went out to sea are back, brother, do you want to go and have a look?"
Tang He's heart fluttered instantly, "The sea cucumber I ate last night was good."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "My sister-in-law made it. I learned from the local cooks for a while. If brother Tang likes it, we can go and see if there are any good sea cucumbers. We can buy some and let my sister-in-law continue to cook."
"Will you get angry if you eat too much?"
Bai Shan: "Just eat two."
Seeing Bai Shan leaving, Tang He hurriedly followed.
Coincidentally, Zhou Man and the others were there when they arrived, holding the two children by the hand.
The two children held hands and stood on tiptoe on the wooden board to watch the fish jumping in the boat and all kinds of strange things. Bai Jingxing was courageous. When he saw a big rock, he broke free from Bai Ruoyu's hand and went up to get it.
Wu Yue hurriedly reached out to grab her, how dare she let her board the boat
"Little lady, what do you want?"
Bai Jingxing pointed to the stone, "There is a stone!"
The fisherman looked along, stretched out his hand to take what she was pointing at, and said with a smile, "Little lady, this is a sea oyster."
Zhou Man reached out and touched his daughter's little head, and said with a smile, "Sea oysters are also called oysters. They taste salty and flat. If you eat them for a long time, they can strengthen your joints, kill evil spirits, and live longer."
Bai Jingxing asked, "Can you grow up quickly?"
Zhou Man pinched her little earlobe, "What do you want to grow up to do?"
"When I grow up, I can always go out like my mother, and I can eat a lot of good things that I can't eat like my mother. Everyone should listen to me, just like listening to my mother."
Zhou Man said: "That's not something you can do when you grow up. You still have to be capable. What do you think you will be able to do in the future?"
"The ability to make others obey."
"Then you should study more," Zhou Man said sadly, "You have to be better than everyone and more knowledgeable than them, so that they can listen to you."
Bai Jingxing didn't know if he understood or not. Anyway, he nodded wildly, took the big rock, looked at it over and over, curious, "Mother, how do you eat this? Will it break your teeth?"
