After Bai Shan finished speaking, he looked away and looked at Zhou Man. The two reached a consensus, reached out and gave each other high fives and smiled.
Zhou Man said: "Then it's agreed. I'll write this paragraph down in a memo when I get back. I'll take it out and read it when I have children in the future. You won't be able to beat or scold your children because they don't do well in their homework or don't work.
"
Bai Shan frowned, "Am I that kind of person?"
Zhou Man said, "That's not necessarily the case. Some men are like orchids and jade trees when they are young, but when they grow older, they turn into black dead trees and old vines."
These words frightened Bai Shan and he immediately touched his face and found it was smooth. He breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, okay.
Although he has grown out now and does not have a little baby fat like he did a few years ago, he looks a bit more resolute now that he is angular, and he feels very satisfied with it.
Bai Shan quietly looked at Zhou Man, stretched out his finger to poke her thin waist, and asked: "Then do you think I am Zhilan Yushu now, or..."
Zhou Man turned his head and looked at him critically. After a while, he said reluctantly: "Let's just call it Zhilan Yushu."
Bai Shan was unhappy, "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. What does it mean to be a yes? Please tell me clearly, does it count as a Zhilan Yushu?"
Zhou Man thought about it and said with a tangled look on his face: "I think you are the star of the bright moon, the orchid and jade tree, and you must be a gentle person like Senior Brother Yang."
Bai Shan tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, let's be the bright moon star."
The two people's eyes met, and he couldn't help but laugh. His eyes were filled with stars, and his whole person was very lively.
Zhou Manbian couldn't help but laugh too.
The two of them had a silly laugh at each other for a long time. Daji coughed heavily, and they both came back to their senses and turned to look at him.
Daji nodded his chin forward, and the two of them looked over. Cui Yuan was standing at the door awkwardly, with one foot inside and one foot outside, neither in nor out.
Bai Shan cleared his throat, stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong with the county government?"
Cui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked in and said, "Sir, there is an urgent document delivered from the capital."
Bai Shan turned around and nodded to Zhou Man, and went back with Cui Yuan.
Several guards came to deliver the official document. They were familiar with Bai Shanye and could often be seen in the palace.
Bai Shan opened the official document and looked at it. He was slightly happy and couldn't help but ask, "When will they arrive?"
The guards said: "His Highness was already preparing when we left the capital, and we should be on the way now."
Bai Shan pondered, "Where is Governor Guo..."
"He has also received the official document," the guard said after a pause: "His Royal Highness is traveling for inspection, so there is no time in the official document to the governor's office. This time, he is accompanied by the censor from the Censorship Station.
, and Mr. Tang from Jingzhao Mansion, if His Highness has something to say, all places should not be extravagant in reception. Once discovered, they will find out the cost and come to the aid. When the time comes, at the Yushitai, His Highness will not intercede for someone who knowingly commits a crime."
Bai Shan understood and told him to be careful.
Because he was familiar with the person, he said directly and speechlessly: "...I would like to entertain His Highness well, but the county government must also be rich. Look at me in Beihai County..."
"Your Highness also said that although you can't be extravagant, your food and accommodation must at least be normal," the guard immediately interrupted Bai Shan and said, "Don't cry about poverty with Your Highness, Your Highness has no money now."
Bai Shan looked unbelieving.
"It's true," the guard sighed: "I heard from the adults in Zhan Shifu that the expenses of the Imperial Medical Office this year were too high. His Majesty gave several bills to the prince, and several large expenditures were paid by the East Palace.
.”
Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, the bill was sent to Zhan Shifu. The prince was not stupid, so he had to grit his teeth and pay.
Bai Shan looked confused, "Has Man Bao spent money recently?"
The guard looked at him suspiciously, "Don't Master Bai know? Because Master Zhou ordered an extra Wen Tiandong to come to Qingzhou, and the medical offices in various places that have been opened now are asking for people from the Imperial Medical Office, and they also want more
One more person was added, and finally a male doctor and a female doctor were paired up, saying that this would allow more female patients to go to the medical department for treatment."
Since the number of people has increased, the expenses have naturally increased. There are more female patients seeing doctors, and the expenses for medicinal materials have also increased, so...
Bai Shan was silent.
He stood up and said, "I understand, don't worry, I won't ask for money from the prince."
You can have normal entertainment, don't even think about luxury.
The safest place was naturally their county government office. Bai Shan looked around and decided to rent a house. When the prince arrived, they would move out and temporarily let the prince live in the backyard of the county government office.
Knowing that the prince was coming to visit the salt farm, Bai Shan was very happy even when he interrogated Zhu Qi and others. He said with a joyful smile on his face: "Go on, if you are willing to confess, you can do it. If you don't want to, I will replace you with someone else."
This casual attitude made Zhu Qi feel aggrieved and uneasy.
Judging from the situation last night, Bai Shan didn't need to be interrogated. Everyone rushed to confess, so it seemed that it was useless for him to keep his mouth shut.
Zhu Qi sighed and had no choice but to do it.
Bai Shan asked the clerk to record the confession and adjourned it, then signed the document. He called Dong County Lieutenant and said, "Go to the Song family to get someone."
"Song Min?"
Bai Shan nodded and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Dong Xianwei said: "Sir, he is just a nephew of Mr. Song, and he is still a concubine. There is no use for him."
Bai Shandao: "I don't care if it's useful or not. If Zhu Qi confesses that he was the one who instigated it, then we'll arrest him and follow the law."
And who said it’s useless?
No matter who is arrested, as long as his surname is Song or he is openly related to the Song family, this incident will be a big blow to the Song family.
He just escorted the people back to the county town, and the students at the county school couldn't help but get angry. If they arrested the Song family at this time, the knowledgeable people in the city would probably hate the Song family even more.
Do you really think it is so easy to become a squire family?
Any family that can become an aristocratic family must have the ability to protect a land, and must have the prestige to manage a land. It must have done things that have greatly benefited the local people. Over the years, it must have continuous talent, prestige and virtue, and then it can become an aristocratic family.
And the things they did to fight against each other during the inheritance of aristocratic families is another matter.
The Bai family in Longzhou has fallen to the bottom of the aristocratic family, but they still have prestige in Longzhou. When encountering natural or man-made disasters, regardless of whether they use money to occupy large amounts of land in private, at least they can maintain their reputation on the surface.
Very good, the food that should be donated must be donated, and the refugees that should be resettled must be resettled...
And the Bai family can become a famous family. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been many ancestors who prayed for the people. Even Bai Shan, who dislikes his family very much, has to say that he now occupies some of the shade left by the trees planted by his ancestors.
.
If the Song family wants to dominate one side, it still has to go hard.
First there was County Magistrate Lu, and now there is Bai Shan. It is basically impossible for him to win people's hearts and gain prestige.
Bai Shan clicked his tongue and said, "The place your Majesty chose for me is really wonderful. I'm so lucky."
