Bai Shan shook his head, "No, His Majesty is worried that the rebellious army will offend the people along the coast, so he will definitely order us to pursue the Baekje rebel army until we drive out all the rebel army, so if they don't leave, I won't be able to return to Beijing. "
He said: "My wife is going to give birth in two months, and I can't wait for His Majesty's order to arrive before I do it. And will the governor have the heart to let the people along the coast suffer for more than ten days?"
Governor Liu: "...I've already sent people to pursue it? It's useless for you to stay here. You might as well go back to Beihai County to handle government affairs."
Bai Shan shook his head, "I can do logistics for you, and I can guarantee that the soldiers will be motivated and enthusiastic. As for Beihai County, there is Fang County Prime Minister here, so don't worry too much."
He paused and said: "My lord, don't you also want to take the opportunity to see Fang Xiancheng's ability?"
Inspector Liu looked at Bai Shan for a long time, and finally asked with his hands behind his back: "Are you sure? Are you really going back to the capital?"
Bai Shan has made too many contributions to Beihai County. Although Beihai County is now defined as a middle county, but with its current development speed, it will be a matter of time before it becomes an upper county. He can stay in Beihai County for another two years , then directly take over the entire Qingzhou.
Jumping three levels at once, and working in a familiar place, the future is no worse than returning to Beijing.
Bai Shan nodded, and said with certainty: "I have to go back to the capital, and I have to go back before May."
Inspector Liu shook his head, "That's all, let County Magistrate Bai stay, and I will leave the deployment of our army's supplies to you."
Bai Shan responded.
Inspector Liu took one last look at him, turned around and left with his entourage, "Order troops, I will go to patrol the border in person."
"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?"
Inspector Liu said: "Bai Shan is right. The people on the seaside must not suffer from the rebellion. Moreover, if someone is in a hurry to go home, he should be treated as a favor."
"We didn't stop Mr. Bai from going home, did we?"
"Fool, this family is not that family. Alas, the hero is sad and beautiful. It's better to be an official. I don't have such troubles."
"My lord, if Madam hears this..."
"Shut up, you are the only one who hears this, if you don't say it, how would Madam know?"
When the emperor's imperial decree arrived, Governor Liu not only wiped out almost all the scattered troops, but also wiped out the regrouped pirates on nearby islands.
Beihai County provided all the food, grass, and military salaries that were consumed, but after the bandits were suppressed, Beihai County's finances recovered a little bit, and most importantly, some was distributed to the soldiers, so that the soldiers' enthusiasm for suppressing the bandits was high.
Bai Shan also received some spoils, and excitedly ran to Liu Shishi to exchange pearls.
Inspector Liu generously exchanged with him, "I only heard that pearls are exchanged for gold and silver, but Master Bai is just the opposite."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "It's useless for me to hold these gold and silver, but there are wives and daughters at home, and they all like pearls, so it's just right."
Inspector Liu asked, "The delegation of envoys is about to arrive in Qingzhou, and the rebels here have almost been cleared up. When will Mr. Bai plan to return to Beihai County?"
Bai Shan then said seriously: "The next official will go back with the official boat tomorrow."
He gave a deep bow, and said respectfully: "The lower official is going back to Beijing to report on his duties, and the handover of county affairs still needs to be sealed by adults."
Governor Liu waved his hands generously and said, "I'll give it to you in a while, but,"
He paused and said: "Master Bai recommends Fang Xiancheng to take over, and the court may not agree. Mr. Bai is a great talent, but he has made Beihai County a sweet pastry. Now I don't know how many people want to take a bite."
Fang Xiancheng has no foundation in the court.
Bai Shandao: "The next official will write another letter, whether it succeeds or not depends on the destiny."
Inspector Liu nodded, "I will also send you a note."
But no matter who came to take over, Bai Shan had to go back to take over the county affairs and was ready to return to Beijing.
Of course, before that, he had to send the mission sent by the imperial court out of Longchi Wharf.
When Bai Shan was handing over in Beihai County, Jingzhong also received his papers. The emperor threw the papers between him and Governor Liu on the case, and stretched out his hand to open the papers on the side and put them together.
Seeing this, the prince asked, "Father is worrying about the post of magistrate of Beihai County?"
The emperor said: "There are quite a few people who want to take over, and even the magistrate of Shangxian County wants to be transferred. Hmph, it is not a mistake for the magistrate of Shangxian County to become the magistrate of Zhongxian County. Why should I be transferred like this?"
The prince didn't care and said: "It's fine if it's applicable. When Bai Shan went to Beihai County, didn't he also get demoted and transferred?"
The emperor raised his eyelids to look at him, "Then you are interested in the candidate?"
"No, but I asked Zhou Man in private, and she said that Beihai County is now a cornucopia. If it wants to keep generating money, not only benefiting the local people in Beihai County, but also blessing the Jin Dynasty, it needs an upright and open-minded person. , Officials who know how to operate go.”
Emperor: "If not?"
"Then we need an official who understands the way of business and current affairs," the prince said. Beihai County is not too bad either."
The emperor knocked on the table and said: "The county magistrate of Beihai County has no foundation in the court, but he has been operating in Beihai County for many years."
The prince said: "I asked Zhou Man that Fang County's magistrate is not from Beihai County, not even from Qingzhou, but from Laizhou, and his family background is average. In the past five years, even if Beihai County has developed rapidly, except for the county government. Apart from his house, he has no extra foreign money."
The emperor asked: "Do you like this Fangxian Cheng?"
Prince: "Beihai County is the painstaking effort of Bai Shan and Zhou Man. Since both of them recommend this person, it means that this person has something special. At least he can keep Beihai County temporarily."
The emperor nodded slightly after being silent for a long while, and put away the documents on the case, "In this way, the pressure on Beihai County and Baishan will be greater."
The prince said: "With Bai Shan's heart and ability, this matter is not worth mentioning."
That's it.
Zhou Man found out the information from the Chongwen Museum, and found out the news when he passed by the Zhan Shi Mansion in front of him. He was completely relieved, and Beihai County finally had a suitable successor.
Zhou Man happily went out of the palace to go home, but Bai Jingxing's child was not at home, but in the Princess Mansion opposite the back door, so she went to pick up the child with her waist supported.
It happened that Bai Erlang sent Yin Yu out, and when he saw her, he smiled and asked, "Bai Shan should return to the capital in three or four days, right?"
"I didn't get the letter, how did you know?"
Yin Ru smiled slightly and said, "I guess."
Zhou Man had a look of disbelief, and Yin Ji said, "Anyway, he will definitely come back before May. For this, he sent a lot of people across the sea to Beisha City to teach the method of drying salt, and even made a fuss in the sea merchants. After publicizing this matter, I heard that the city lord of Beisha City loves and hates him, and the two even fought in Beisha City."
Zhou Man was very surprised, "Why didn't I know? No, how did you know?"
"I don't know, I can't do it. The lack of ordnance under the governor of Qingzhou Liu is the depreciation bought from my father. I led the way."
