Why did the imperial court redeem these lands? Because the prices they sold back then were too cheap.
Some of these lands are sold for only one-third of the market price, and some are only sold for one-fifth or even less.
They were all sold by the governor's office on the grounds that the treasury was short of money when Qizhou had a natural disaster or a big expenditure.
Now the imperial court will redeem it at the original price.
What's annoying is that the Ministry of Household Affairs asked them to use their land to pay off their debts, but instead of letting them pay off their debts directly at the current market price, they paid the price at which each piece of land was redeemed.
It is equivalent to Qizhou reselling the land they selected to the Ministry of Household Affairs at a price of one-quarter, one-fifth or even lower.
Can Governor Yu agree?
Of course I can't agree to it.
Everyone is so angry, okay?
However, so much official land cannot be placed in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue. Does he have to report to the Ministry of Revenue every year when the land is divided into small fields after autumn?
Not to mention how much things would be delayed by going back and forth, this is equivalent to exposing the internal affairs of Qizhou to the eyes of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Can the parent of Governor Yu agree to this?
Of course we cannot agree to that.
So Bai Shan saw a booklet in Zhongshu Province that cursed Liu Shangshu three hundred times.
Bai Shan read it once and threw it aside, classifying it as a useless piece of information. These pieces of information would not get past the hands of the emperor, and they could directly approve and reproduce them in Zhongshu Sheng.
Upholding the friendship of working together, Bai Shan wrote a letter to Governor Yu to remind him: "Why not bargain?"
It's not a battle in front of the battle. Insults can make the other party angry and upset, so he kills the other party. This is a court, so starting a scolding battle in this way has no effect at all, but will only increase hatred.
Since the Ministry of Revenue has made an offer, Qizhou can make a counter-offer if they are interested. If they are dissatisfied with this solution, then they have to come up with another solution, otherwise they will always be led by the Ministry of Revenue.
Bai Shan handed the letter to the guard at home and said: "Send it to Qizhou quickly. Please stay for two more days. If you get a reply, take it back. If there is no reply, don't take it."
Man Bao was curious, "Have you made friends with Governor Yu?"
Otherwise, how could we interfere in the fight between Qizhou and Hubu?
Because they only quarreled over this matter in the distance, other ministers stood aside and watched, so much so that it didn't even meet the standards of the imperial meeting. If Bai Shan hadn't been in Zhongshu Province, she wouldn't have known about it.
Well, as an imperial physician, she really would not be involved in such political affairs, and there was no need to know.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "This is not only helping the governor, but also helping Liu Shangshu. It is also helping the people of Qizhou."
He said: "Yu Prefect is right to be concerned. Qizhou affairs should still be handled by Qizhou. If the Chengding fields need to be transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs first, going back and forth may delay the wheat sowing season after autumn. It will not be beneficial to the people.
.I think Liu Shangshu has no intention of controlling the affairs of Qizhou, but the conditions are more stringent so that the price of Qizhou will be lower."
"But Governor Yu may have been too angry and didn't think of this for a while."
Governor Yu really didn't think about it at the moment, but two days after sending the zhezi away, the anger in his chest was not so strong, so he thought of it.
And Chang Shi also came to remind, "Sir, since the Ministry of Revenue has set the price, we might as well pay back the price. I believe His Majesty will make the decision for us."
But in his last letter, he cursed Liu Shangshu’s ancestors...
Just at this time, Bai Shan's letter arrived. Governor Yu opened it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Shi looked at him with concern, "Sir..."
Governor Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can go and write a discount. You can use the land to offset the debt, but it must be offset at the current market price. The price should be higher, so that you can negotiate back and forth."
When Chang Shi saw that he had listened to his opinion, he was overjoyed and bowed and left.
The deputy general came over and said, "Sir, the note you wrote last time..."
He was standing aside and saw it at the time. He felt that if someone scolded him like this, he would not care about bargaining, it must be as disgusting as possible.
Yu Cishi said: "The zhezi was stopped by Bai Shan and was not sent to the imperial court."
He touched his beard and said, "I owe him a small favor this time."
The zhezi was stopped in Zhongshu Provincial Department, and the official responsible for approving it glanced at the entire article, which was full of curse words, and then directly put a small red cross on it and sent it to the lower province of Zhongshu.
After checking it and confirming it was correct, it was thrown into the trash can.
There are two places for the excerpts in the trash can. One is to throw them directly in the archives and destroy them after they have expired. The other is to send them back to individuals so that the person who wrote the excerpts will know how useless the excerpts they wrote are so useless that they cannot even be used.
I can't even pass the Zhongshu Provincial Committee.
Now that Bai Shan has traveled between the two departments more often, he knows some tricks. If the place is not far away, there are frequent exchanges of information, and the transmission cost is not high, they will send it to others.
If it is far away and there are few exchanges of zhezi, the zhezi will be thrown directly into the archives.
If it weren't for the fact that all exchanges need to be archived for a certain period of time to prepare for future inquiries, they could just destroy such nonsense.
Therefore, Liu Shangshu didn't know that there had been a letter scolding him and his ancestors, and two days later he received a counter-offer from Qizhou.
He became happy, things were finally on the right track, and he began to bargain happily with Qizhou.
Jiang was obviously still old and hot. When Liu Huan and the others went out to get together during the holiday, he said: "My grandfather has been very happy for the past two days. He walked with wind in his eyes."
Zhou Man said: "Your Majesty has been very happy recently. The weather is so hot, and he can still eat three large bowls in one meal."
Bai Shan held back a smile and asked, "Then I asked you to check your stomach?"
Man Bao said: "It's nothing serious. I gave him sour plum soup. Just drink a bowl every afternoon and evening."
Mingda said: "Then I will go to the palace tomorrow to see my father."
A familiar voice came from downstairs. Zhou Man immediately went to the window and looked down. When he saw Mr. Tang helping Mrs. Tang get out of the car, he immediately waved to them happily, "Senior Brother Tang, we are on the second floor."
Tang He looked up, smiled slightly, and went upstairs with Mrs. Tang.
Seeing so many people in the box, Tang He was speechless for a long time. He agreed to treat him to dinner, but ended up inviting so many people?
Bai Shan happily welcomed the people in. They were all acquaintances, and there was no need to introduce them. After greeting each other, they sat down.
Mrs. Tang sat on the other side of Princess Mingda and said with a smile: "Princess, why don't you go to Princess Danyang's summer banquet?"
Mingda smiled and said: "I have a bit of a bitter summer, and my aunt also knows that, so she didn't go."
But Princess Changyu and her consort went away.
Mrs. Tang also felt that the summer banquet was not fun, so she made excuses not to go.
Mr. Tang sat next to Bai Shan, shook his head and whispered: "You are treacherous. Tell me clearly, is it you who invites this meal, or you?"
"Of course I'm the one to treat you," Bai Shan said: "Brother, am I the kind of person who takes other people's money to treat guests?"
