Chief Li paused and then said: "What you are saying is that I will send someone to bring Asi back."
He smiled and said: "She is married and has to take care of the children. She hasn't been back for a long time. Her mother and I were sick so we didn't tell her."
Bai Shan nodded, "Chief Li and Mrs. Li are kind, and as children they should also be filial."
So in less than an hour, Bai Shan saw a young woman coming in leading a little girl in the main hall.
Bai Shan put down his pen and looked at her with a smile, "Ms. Li?"
The young woman nodded coldly and looked at Bai Shan. When she saw him sitting at the top, she turned her eyes and didn't see Chief Li, so she asked, "Are you the chief's new staff?"
"No," Bai Shan ignored the servants standing outside the hall, and slowly but clearly introduced his origins, "I, Bai Shan, come from... Chang'an, a native of Longzhou, the former left minister of the Jin Dynasty, and occasionally traveled to the south.
of Xinjiang.”
Li Si was stunned.
Bai Shandao: "Mrs. Li should also know that malaria is rampant in the Liaozi Department. The people in the city are panicked and urgently need someone from the Li family to come forward and comfort them."
Li Si looked sarcastic and asked: "Where is the big leader?"
Bai Shan: "He was also infected with malaria..."
Li Si's face froze, and the expression on his face slowly faded, and finally turned expressionless.
Seeing that she was silent, Bai Shan didn't rush her and just took the official document next to him and started processing it.
After a long time, Li Sicai asked expressionlessly, "What should I do?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said kindly: "It's very simple. Please ask Madam Li and the officials from the Chief's Mansion to go out to help the people and make arrangements for all the patients."
Li Si frowned when he heard this, held his daughter's hand tightly, and asked after a while: "Are there many people infected with the disease in the city?"
Bai Shan picked out a piece of paper from the papers nearby and handed it over.
Li Si stepped forward to take it, and couldn't help but take a breath at one glance. She squeezed the paper in her hand tightly, and now she finally knew why the Chief's Mansion came to her.
So many people are infected with malaria. If no one from the Chief's Mansion goes out to comfort them, Annan City will definitely be in chaos, and then the entire Liaozi tribe...
Li Si wanted to throw away the paper in her hand and tell the noble man in front of her that she didn't care. She was no longer a member of the Li family. She got married ten years ago.
But she held the paper tightly with her fingers and did not throw it out. Instead, she closed her eyes and said, "Okay, but I also have conditions."
Bai Shan did not bargain with her, but said directly: "Ms. Li, please tell me."
Li Si pushed the little girl who was holding his hand forward and said, "This is a little girl. Please send her to the Central Plains. I don't want her to be rich and powerful. As long as she doesn't become a slave and can be fed and clothed."
Bai Shan tapped his knees lightly with his fingers. After a moment, he smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Shan waved to a servant from the chief's palace, pointed at the little girl and said: "Send her to the princess's courtyard and hand her over to the care of the maids next to the princess."
Li Si was surprised, and then Bai Shan said: "In addition to the former Imperial Medical Officer, the people traveling here with me this time are also the current princess and consort."
Li Si's attitude became more cautious. He lowered his head slightly and said humbly: "My lord, just give me your orders. I will listen to you."
Bai Shan was very satisfied with her attitude and even more satisfied with her choice.
Mingda, Bai Erlang and Yin You had already been received at the chief's mansion. Mingda helped Zhou Man sort out patient data, while Bai Erlang and Yin You helped Bai Shan count the supplies and allocate manpower in the city.
Medicinal materials, grain, cloth, wood for building medical sheds, etc., all require statistical arrangements.
So they were not in the courtyard, holding back tears. After the timid little girl was sent to an empty courtyard with no other people, she finally couldn't help crying.
When the eldest maid who stayed in the courtyard saw this, she couldn't coax her any further, so she had to take her to find the princess.
As a result, the princess was not found, but Zhou Man was found first.
Seeing that she was only six or seven years old, Zhou Man burst into tears, so he took her to his side, took out a candy and gave it to her, and asked with a smile: "Whose little lady is this? She is so beautiful."
The palace maid hurriedly said: "It's Chief Li's granddaughter, sent here to the princess. Master Bai agreed that Mrs. Li will take her back to the Central Plains to raise her."
Zhou Man was surprised, "Are we raising him?"
The palace maid smiled and said: "It is said that as long as I am rich, I will be safe. Then I will find someone to take care of me in the Central Plains."
Zhou Man frowned, "Why don't you raise her by yourself?"
The palace maid paused and said, "Perhaps you are afraid that you will contract malaria?"
Of course, it was more than that. Zhou Man's mind was racing, thinking of the stories of love and hatred of the Li family in southern Xinjiang that he had heard from Wu Yin in the past few days.
Wu Yin: ...I am obviously talking about the development story of southern Xinjiang.
Chief Li was forced to lead his people to leave the large tribe and seek development elsewhere. Of course, he did not wander around all the time. Otherwise, how could he control the entire southern Xinjiang as soon as he came back?
Marriage has always been one of the most effective ways to win over power. Chief Li was still wandering outside, so he married his eldest daughter back to the Zhang family.
After he rushed into the chief's house and tied up Chief Zhang, he told the court that Chief Zhang was guilty of withholding tribute, and at the same time killed all his cousin's sons and grandsons, including his own grandson who had just turned one year old.
The Zhang family was full of family members, but only their female relatives were left behind. They were taken by Li Si to live on the other side of Annan City. The father and daughter seldom saw each other.
When Zhou Man heard about this incident, he sighed with Bai Shan, "Sure enough, power is stained with blood. There are many ways to do it. There is no need for him to stain his hands with the blood of his relatives."
Unexpectedly, she met the daughter of one of the parties in just two days.
Zhou Man touched her little face with pity and said, "There are many patients here and it's not safe. Let her rest in the teahouse."
Zhou Man said: "Princess and the others are above."
Not only the princess is there, but Bai Er and Yin You are also there. The three of them are checking the supplies calculated by the officials, frowning as they look, "This chief was quite frugal in the first two years, but this year he has gradually become extravagant. It seems that
I was also blinded by the prosperity.”
While Bai Erlang was calculating how many days these supplies would be available with an abacus, he sighed: "Why bother? The price of shipping things to southern Xinjiang is much higher. I really want to enjoy it, so I just brought the money and went out for some fun. I have enjoyed good things.
, it’s great to enjoy the beautiful scenery again.”
Mingda said clearly: "Not everyone can stick to their original intention after getting what they want. Moreover, who knows that his original intention is for the people of the Liaozi tribe, rather than for himself and the glory of his ancestors?
"
Bai Erlang was curious, "What do you think Bai Shan would do? Are you really so bullied by him that you have to work for him for free?"
The general manager is also questioning this with Chief Li. Isn't it good to hand over so much power to Bai Shan?
