Tang He stood on the pier and looked out into the distance, watching one ship after another entering the port and one ship leaving the port, and his irritable mood gradually calmed down.
"It's shocking," Tang He said softly: "With this achievement alone, you can leave your name in history."
As long as the Longchi Pier is open, Bai Shan's name will be spread.
Bai Shan asked with a smile, "My senior brother invited me to the pier early in the morning just to say this?"
Tang He smiled slightly, "Not really, I just want to see if your official ship from Longchi Pier is back."
He put his hand back and asked Bai Shan seriously, "Have you ever thought about annihilating the pirates?"
"It's impossible to annihilate, but it can keep out the enemy and stop more people from joining the bandits," Bai Shan said: "As long as they pay a greater price and get smaller benefits, it can stop many brave people from joining the bandits."
Da Qing is a bandit who is not yet a desperado."
"Is this why you proposed General Liu to take over as governor of Qingzhou?"
Bai Shan added: "One."
Tang He nodded and asked, "When will General Liu take office?"
Bai Shan calculated the time and said: "In four or five days, His Majesty will still leave the Bohai Navy to him. He will also serve as the governor of Qingzhou. He will move the military tent to Qingzhou."
"Which county should you put it in?" Tang He said with a smile: "I think your Beihai County is very good. It is close to the sea, has salt fields, and docks. If pirates come ashore, your Beihai County will be the first to bear the brunt. It should need a lot of garrison troops."
Bai Shan pondered for a while and asked after a while: "You'd better tell me directly what you want to do. I feel a little flustered by your question."
Tang He said: "To find out where the salt on the official ship went and who transported the lost salt, we need the testimony of the pirates. Your ships at Longchi Pier have also been harassed by pirates, so you have
Have you ever thought about suppressing bandits? Let’s do it together?”
Bai Shan: "You? Do you have soldiers?"
"I don't have soldiers, but I have an official position," Tang He said with a smile: "I patrol the censor and patrol the world. I can use my identity to ask the governor of Pingzhou and the governor of Dengzhou to send troops to suppress the bandits."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart suddenly moved.
Tang He saw it and encouraged him: "That means I am investigating the shipwreck case, otherwise I will not get involved in this matter. I will also contact the military and government of the various states and write a letter to His Majesty."
Bai Shan asked: "Where are the soldiers and horses in Laizhou?"
"If Laizhou doesn't work, I have other uses."
Bai Shan nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to persuade General Liu. Senior brother, will you go with me?"
Tang He shook his head and refused, "I can't leave Laizhou for too long. What I found so easily cannot be erased."
Bai Shan was surprised, "Then you still come here, I thought..."
"Think everything is safe over there?" Tang He shook his head and smiled: "In investigating cases, you have to be relaxed. I forced them too hard before and they were too afraid to move. I also made no progress. This is good. I
Come out and relax, and they can also get some fresh air, a win-win situation, why not?"
Bai Shan twitched his lips in a perfunctory manner, "As long as my senior is happy."
After talking about the business, Tang He started to have some fun. He saw many laborers squatting or standing around the dock waiting to be selected, so he asked Bai Shan, "Are these the workers you hired to build the dock before?"
"
Bai Shan took a look and said, "Part of it is."
"Where are the rest of the people?"
"It was divided into four parts, and the best ones stayed on the dock and were managed by the Haisi Yamen. The dock needs manpower to operate and repairs," Bai Shan said: "Most of them took the money and returned to their hometowns.
Some of them are homeless, and I will give them long-term labor in government fields. As long as they do a good job, I can help them settle down later."
"Others are left here," Bai Shan nodded his chin towards the laborers and said, "Although it is hard work, you can make a lot of money, not much worse than when you built the dock."
Tang He nodded and said, "Everyone has his or her own path."
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Yes, what I can do is give them more options to choose from," he smiled slightly, "As for how to choose, it depends on themselves."
Tang He reached out and patted his shoulder, "I can't do such trivial things. This is what I admire most about you and Chang Bo."
Bai Shan was speechless for a long time, "Isn't the investigation more trivial?"
"So, rummaging through those physical evidences is like opening a gift box. Before opening it, no one knows what is inside. It is full of unknown pleasure. But the results of what you are doing have been predetermined for a long time. There is no such thing.
A feeling of surprise.”
Bai Shan: “It feels like a sense of accomplishment when things are done.”
"I feel a sense of accomplishment after solving the case, and I also feel a sense of surprise during the process." Tang He shook his head and said, "This is incomparable."
Bai Shan did not argue with him, but pointed to the fishing boats slowly approaching the shore in the distance and said: "The fishermen who went to sea are back. Senior brother, do you want to go and have a look?"
Tang He was instantly moved, "The sea cucumber I ate last night was pretty good."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law made it. I learned from the local cook for a while. If Senior Brother Tang likes it, we can go see if there are any good sea cucumbers and buy some back later for my sister-in-law to continue cooking."
"Will you get angry if you eat too much?"
Bai Shan: "Just eat two."
Tang He saw Bai Shan leaving and quickly followed him.
By coincidence, when they arrived, Zhou Man and the others were also there, holding two children on their hands.
The two children held hands and stood on tiptoes on the wooden board to look at the jumping fish and various strange things in the boat. Bai Jingxing was brave and saw a big stone, so he broke free from Bai Ruoyu's hand and walked up to get it.
Wu Yue hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her, but how dare he let her get on the boat?
"Little lady, what do you want?"
Bai Jingxing pointed to the stone, "There is a stone!"
The fisherman looked along, stretched out his hand to take what she was pointing to, and said with a smile: "Little lady, these are sea oysters."
Zhou Man reached out and touched his daughter's little head, and said with a smile: "Sea oysters are also called oysters. They have a salty taste. If you eat them for a long time, you can strengthen your joints, kill evil spirits, and help you live longer."
Bai Jingxing asked, "Can you grow up quickly?"
Zhou Man pinched her earlobe and asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up quickly?"
"When I grow up, I can always go out like my mother, and I can also eat a lot of good things like my mother that I can't eat. Everyone should listen to me, just like my mother."
Zhou Man said: "That's not something you can do when you grow up. You still have to be capable. What abilities do you think you will have in the future?"
"The ability to make others obey."
"Then you should study more," Zhou Man said sadly, "You have to be better than everyone else and more knowledgeable than them before they can listen to you."
Bai Jingxing didn't know whether he understood or not, but he nodded randomly, took the big stone, looked at it over and over, and was very curious, "Mother, how do you eat this? Will it chip your teeth?"
