Bai Shan and the prince quietly agreed on this matter, and no one told it. Not even Ning Yushi, not even Tang He knew about it.
The prince did not ask Bai Shan where so much housing expenses came from, nor did Bai Shan take the initiative to mention it.
After seeing the salt field, the prince also took a look at Bai Shan's tightly covered warehouse. After seeing the salt stored in it, he nodded with satisfaction and then left the salt field with others.
Ning Yushi and a group of guards stayed behind. They would not leave until they saw the salt from the seawater in the salt field.
Ming Da returned to the county town with them, and after walking around the county government office where Zhou Man and the others lived, he said, "It looks pretty good."
Zhou Man said proudly: "We bought some things after we moved in. I didn't know you and Bai Er would come, otherwise we would definitely arrange another room for you."
The prince who was walking in front heard her words, looked back at her, and simply asked: "Zhou Man, how is your medical department?"
Zhou Man perked up and stepped forward to reply.
The prince entered the main hall and after listening to her report on the progress of the Qingzhou Medical Office, he said: "Since the medical office here in Beihai County is on the right track, it is time for the Qingzhou side to start running as well. Don't slack off."
Zhou Man assured: "Yes, I will not slack off."
She paused and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, I don't need people for the development of the Medical Department for the time being. I need money."
The prince almost spit out the tea he just drank. He said angrily: "Ask Bai Shan to go."
Zhou Man glared, "The local medical office is subordinate to the Imperial Medical Office, and the state treasury allocates funds."
The prince turned the tea cup in his hand and said: "Bai Shan wants people and is not short of money. And you have medical skills. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can definitely help him retain more people."
He raised his chin slightly and said, "Are you still short of money when I introduce you?"
Zhou Man blinked and turned to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan standing aside:...
Don't be fooled by the prince, I don't know whether he will give you money at this time, but you can always ask the prince for some money.
The prince had already stood up and said: "Okay, your county government is too small. It's not too late. Let's go back to Qingzhou City."
Governor Guo, who was waiting on the other side, became happy when he heard this and immediately said: "Your Highness, the carriage and horses are ready, and we can leave now."
The prince nodded slightly and told Mingda and Bai Erlang, "If you want to stay in Beihai County, I won't stop you, but you are not allowed to cause trouble."
Mingda agreed, "Brother Prince, don't worry, we are very obedient."
Of course the prince believed in his sister, but he didn't quite believe in Bai Erlang.
So he glanced at Bai Erlang warningly, and when he looked at Yin He, his expression softened a little. He just nodded gently to Yin He, told Bai Shan to take good care of him, and then turned around and left with Tang He.
"If there are any difficult cases that cannot be solved, please hand them over to Mr. Tang for review." After leaving these words, the prince took his people back to Qingzhou City.
When Governor Guo saw that the prince and Bai Shan were finally separated, he was relieved, so he looked much better at Bai Shan who sent them out. He smiled and said to Bai Shan, "Do a good job."
Bai Shan respectfully agreed and watched as Governor Guo led his subordinates to get on their horses and follow the prince away. His eyes met Magistrate Lu who was on the horse. The two of them nodded anxiously and slightly, and then Magistrate Lu led his staff to chase the governor.
.
Zhou Man stood beside him, and when the prince and his group completely disappeared from sight, she breathed a sigh of relief, "We are finally gone."
Bai Shan turned around and tapped her nose, "The princess is still here."
Zhou Man shrugged and said, "Mingda won't mind too much, right Mingda?"
She turned back to look at Mingda behind her.
Mingda smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Prince is also very amiable and peaceful."
No matter what happens to the prince, it will be difficult for him to get along with Keqin peacefully, right?
"Let's go back and discuss where to have dinner tonight." As soon as the prince and the others left, Zhou Man and Bai Shan felt refreshed and relaxed, and they were finally in the mood to entertain their three good friends.
The prince didn't live here, so Zhou Man and the others moved back to the main courtyard, and then tidied up the guest rooms a little before allowing Mingda Bai Er and Yin You to stay.
However, Zhou Man still asked Mingda, "Do you want to live with us, or go out and rent a yard?"
Mingda said: "Buy one."
Everyone turned to look at her.
Mingda said: "Since you want to stay in Beihai County, we will definitely have the opportunity to come again in the future. Why not buy a yard to live in? It will be more convenient to live in the future."
Mingda just bought it if she wanted to. Houses in Beihai County were not expensive, so the expense was not worth mentioning in her opinion.
She ordered, and Bai Shan was the county magistrate, and the house information could be found directly at the county government office. She was not short of money, so the next day the servant bought a yard near the county government office, and then the servants started cleaning and decorating it.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man naturally sent their servants to help, and their servants also started shopping in the county town.
The steward of the Song family trotted into the main room and reported to Master Song in a low voice: "Master, Chief Song is here."
Master Song raised his head.
Master Song came in from outside with a haggard look, raised his hand and saluted, "Uncle."
Master Song narrowed his eyes slightly, he could see that this nephew's respect for him was no longer what it used to be.
Master Song showed a faint smile on his face, pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Sanlang is here, sit down."
Chief Secretary Song did not sit over, but chose a chair below to sit down, and said anxiously: "Uncle, the county government is busy with work, and I finally found some time in the busy schedule..."
When Mr. Song heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let me keep the story short. Last time you asked someone to deliver a message, your words were a little unclear. Did you say that the nobleman from the capital is the prince?"
"right."
Mr. Song clenched the teacup in his hand and asked, "I wonder why you are here, sir. Over there..."
Master Song sighed and said with a headache: "Uncle, you also know that my status is sensitive, and the county magistrate hides everything from me. Although I know that the noble person here is the county magistrate, I really don't know what's going on with you.
.”
Master Song frowned.
Four days ago, the county town suddenly became lively. Some noble people came to their Beihai County. He took a look from a distance, and Governor Guo wanted to accompany him.
He sent someone to find Mr. Song that day, but the county government said that Mr. Song had gone to the countryside.
This reason... made Mr. Song very angry, but when he arrived at Master Song's house, he was indeed not at home.
Before he could find out anything, Qingzhou City suddenly returned the coral tree and silver they had sent out early the next morning. He wanted to go to see Governor Guo in person to ask why, but Governor Guo went to Jiawa again.
, that area was strictly guarded by soldiers, let alone go in, or even get close.
He could only wait.
But within a few days, he also found out that the nobleman accompanying Governor Guo was the crown prince!
Among the people who came with the crown prince were two censors and an official from the Jingzhao Prefecture. I heard they were both very powerful. They went out to inspect the capital, and Governor Guo obviously did not dare to commit crimes against them.
