Chapter 2893 There is no shortage of money (1 more update for the reward for book friend "Murong qingqing")
Magistrate Lu was the quickest to know about this, and his master couldn't help but said: "Sir, Magistrate Bai will not tear up the covenant, right?"
Magistrate Lu thought for a while and said: "No, he has mentioned before that the alliance is a private matter. In addition to the two of us, there are five magistrates in Qingzhou City. It is better to do it in the dark."
Magistrate Lu thought of something and couldn't help but smile, "I finally understood what he said that day. We are only doing this for the people of Qingzhou. He is the parent officer of Beihai County, and I am the parent officer of Yidu County.
As long as it is good for the people and has meritorious deeds, why should we be too rigid in our stance?"
The master frowned, "What he means is that as long as it is beneficial to Beihai County, he will betray the covenant with you?"
"No, it's not a betrayal," County Magistrate Lu shook his head and smiled: "It's a waste that I am more than ten years older than him, but I didn't expect it to be an insignificant difference. I haven't thought about these things as clearly as the couple."
The master was confused.
Magistrate Lu had already stood up and said: "Let's go, let's go to see Governor Guo. The busy farming season is about to end. Last year, due to the official turmoil in Qingzhou, the labor force in Yidu County was still far behind. We just waited for the Dragon Boat Festival to summon a group of laborers."
service."
"Not only do some canals need to be opened, but also the roads need to be repaired." County Magistrate Lu said: "We went to Governor Guo to ask for money, but if we are late, we are afraid that the money will go to Beihai County and the Medical Department."
Governor Guo himself did not expect that after seeing off Zhou Man, he would meet Magistrate Lu who was begging for money.
Man Bao happily ran back to tell Bai Shan what they had agreed upon this time, and said: "I think Governor Guo is very generous. Isn't the county government short of money now? Why don't you try to ask him for money?
?”
Bai Shancai waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, we are not short of money in Beihai County now. We will not mention the money until we go to visit the governor during the Dragon Boat Festival."
As soon as Man Bao came back from Qingzhou City, he went to ask for money. This was too eager, which is not good.
Zhou Man was surprised: "You are not short of money anymore?"
Bai Shan grinned, unable to suppress the smile on his face and said, "Today Liwei sent someone back to say that the first batch of salt has been collected from the new salt farm."
Manbao's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is the sun-dried salt really better than boiled salt as you said?"
"It's even better than what I ate last time." Bai Shan took out the small jar of salt from the drawer and showed it to her. "I asked Liwei to build another crystallization pond at the back, and the salt brine was dried in the first crystallization pond.
After the crystals are produced, they are shoveled out, rinsed and filtered with salt water and then exposed to the sun. The salt produced by the sun is whiter than the salt from the previous crystallization tank, and the impurities filtered out are also fewer."
Manbao twisted a few salts and tasted it, and found that it was indeed a high-quality salt, right?
Bai Shan nodded, "So I say we are not short of money in Beihai County. At this rate, we can build more salt fields along that coastline. Even if the old salt field can no longer produce salt, we are not afraid."
"But the salt farm alone is not enough. There is not enough food in Beihai County. It is not an option for the grain shops to always bring in food from outside. We still have to find ways to increase food production."
He said: "We are harvesting wheat recently, and I plan to visit every village down there."
Man Bao said: "I am also about to take Wen Tiandong to the countryside for a free clinic."
The two hit it off immediately and decided to go to the countryside together.
Fang Xian Cheng was already used to the two people's enthusiasm for going to the countryside, but he couldn't help but remind Bai Shan again, "County magistrate, the county government does not store much salt now, and the official salt we give to the governor's office must be seven days at the latest."
The month is about to be handed in."
Bai Shandao: "I know this well, Magistrate Fang, don't worry. The county government hopes that you will take good care of it. Since the long-term workers at the old salt farm can't boil salt, it should be closed temporarily."
When Fang Xian Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bai Shan's expression. Seeing his calm face and relaxed tone, he guessed that there was progress in the new salt field, and it was very possible that the salt had already been boiled.
But I haven't heard of anyone cutting down trees on a large scale in Jiawa recently.
Fang Xian Cheng asked hesitantly: "What about the Song family..."
"Aren't all the stewards who committed crimes sentenced to the governor's office?" Bai Shan said: "Then the Song family is no different from other people here. We treat them as normal."
"By the way, is Mr. Song still ill?" Bai Shan said with a smile: "In that case, let's select someone from below to temporarily take over his responsibilities. Well, I think Zhao Ming is not bad, let him temporarily
Let’s take the position of acting registrar.”
Zhao Ming was born in Zhaojiazhuang. Although the Zhao family is far inferior to the Song family in Beihai County, it still has many members and is considered the most powerful family besides the Song family.
Fang Xian Cheng's eyelids twitched, knowing that Bai Shan's patience with Master Song had run out and he was planning to take action again.
Since Bai Shan decided to promote Zhao Ming, he called Dong County Lieutenant and Zhao Ming to him and directly asked him to temporarily take over the post of chief registrar and then said: "While I am away, you will help Fang County Cheng handle the county government affairs."
Affairs."
Zhao Ming humbly agreed.
Bai Shan still took Lieutenant Dong with him when he went to the countryside this time. Fang Xiancheng already had a feeling that the county magistrate and Lieutenant Dong seemed to be getting closer.
Oh, by the way, Lieutenant Dong is Zhao Ming’s brother-in-law.
Man Bao watched the whole scene from the side, and when he returned to the backyard, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "It's better for our medical department to not be so fussy."
Bai Shan: "If you look at it in twenty years, everything that is happening in the county government today will be happening in the medical office. Now your medical office has just been established for the purpose of construction only. The talents recruited have low qualifications and naturally have few rights.
But in another twenty years, as long as the Medical Department is stabilized, there will be no shortage of these fights, and there will be fights where there are interests."
Man Bao thought for a while and couldn't deny what he said, so he remained silent.
Bai Shan held her hand and smiled and said, "We'll think about the future later. It's better to deal with the current things first."
He said: "Food is the first priority for the people, and mulberry farming is a big deal, not only for our county government, but also for your medical department."
Man Bao: "...What does this have to do with our Medical Department?"
"Of course," Bai Shan said deceptively: "Grains are the basis of body energy. Isn't that what you said? So grains are important. Can the body of a well-fed person be the same as the body of a hungry person?"
Man Bao shook his head.
"So, if the people under our control can have enough to eat, there will be fewer diseases. Do you think the purposes of the county government and the medical office are the same?"
Manbao couldn't shake her head and deny it, but she also knew that he was deceiving her, so she said, "What can I do?"
"I don't know. Let's look around. Don't you also want to dig up some flowers, plants and trees? When we go to the beach, if we encounter fishermen going to the sea, we can also see if there are any living creatures that you haven't seen before.
I’ll buy it for you.”
Man Bao tried his best to suppress his smile, "That's what you said."
