Man Bao nodded repeatedly and gave her a thumbs up.

The wontons were served quickly, and a big bowl was filled with fat wontons. Chang Yu said: "The dough at his house is not as kneaded as the one outside the imperial city, but the stuffing at his house is good.

And there are a lot of them, as big as a wonton.”

Man Bao nodded repeatedly, and after taking a bite, she said: "We passed by Xiazhou before and found that when eating wontons there, they eat them individually on a plate, so they don't call them wontons, they call them dumplings, and they eat them with vinegar.

, I think it’s pretty good.”

"Really?" Chang Yu said, "I'll try it later."

By the time the group of them finished eating their wontons, there weren't many people at the stall. They just sat there and talked while watching the people coming and going on the street.

Wei Yu sighed: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe."

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Only when the people are safe can the country be peaceful."

But in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the arguments among the adults in the small court meeting in the past few days, as well as the emperor's various worries in private.

The national peace and security of the country is still very weak, with too much time and too many hidden dangers.

Bai Shan couldn't help but roll his thumb on the knuckle of his index finger and lowered his eyes to think.

When she went back, Manbao couldn't help turning her head to look at him. When she was about to return home, she couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand.

Bai Shan looked down at her.

Man Bao asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Shan shook his head, "It's okay."

"You were unusually silent after eating wontons, and you seemed to be in a bad mood."

Bai Shan held her hand tightly and walked forward for a few steps before slowly stopping. He paused and said: "Man Bao, it's not until today that I understand why Senior Brother Yang came out of the Hanlin Academy.

He rejected the invitations from the Zhongshu Provincial Department and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and directly chose Luojiang County as the county magistrate."

Man Bao looked at him quietly.

Bai Shandao: "Although the Jin Dynasty is young, it still has many shortcomings. His Majesty is wise and generous, and he is willing to accept advice. That's why the country is now peaceful and the people are safe. However, there are still many, many problems under this prosperity."

"I consider myself well-read in poetry and books, including those unofficial histories you brought out. I have imagined in my mind more than once how prosperous the Jin Dynasty will be in the future." Bai Shan raised his head and looked ahead. There was a wide avenue in front of him.

Not far away is the gate of Zhou's house, and further down the tall and long wall is the Du family's house.

"However, I used to be so confident, but now I am so hesitant." He said: "In just these three months, the Dajin I saw is very different from the Dajin I thought before. It is wise and powerful.

Like Your Majesty, as wise as Mr. Wei, and as mentally tough as Mr. Tang, they have to make concessions cautiously in many situations."

He said: "I took it for granted before."

Man Bao listened quietly.

Bai Shan squeezed her hand tightly, and then loosened it, but in the end he couldn't help but tighten it. He said: "I have no way, at least now I really can't think of a way to perfectly solve these things. As powerful as Your Majesty, he

You have to be cautious and careful in your calculations, let alone me!"

What could be behind him?

The Bai family, a small fourth- and fifth-rate family who will abandon him at any time, and then there is Man Bao, who is from a commoner family and is still walking on thin ice; Bai Er, who is attached to the royal family, and his eldest cousin who comes from the same family as him...

Perhaps also add a prince.

But if even the emperor has to deal with the situation carefully, how much weight can be added by adding a prince?

So it’s still a matter of method.

Bai Shan, like the emperor, did not want to use violence to solve these problems, because in the end, the most seriously injured people must be the common people.

Although it is said that when things prosper, people suffer, and when things die, people suffer. But people who die will definitely suffer even more.

Bai Shandao: "I can't find a solution if I stay in the capital. I want to go out."

Man Bao was surprised, "Are we going to release it now?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "I think I will apply for a post next year when I have a chance to report on my work, and I will start as a county official."

Is that decentralization?

Man Bao tilted his head and looked at him.

Bai Shan sighed and said, "You must have thought about it, even if I am demoted and sent to another place, I still want to start as a county official."

He said: "Now I know why Brother Yang insists on sending local officials outside. We can't find a solution in the capital, so we can only find it at the local level."

Man Bao probably understood what he meant, and said to him: "Go ahead, I support you."

When Bai Shan heard this, he exhaled, took her hand and said, "If we can't live together in one place..."

Man Bao said: "I will miss you."

Bai Shan:...It seems that he was not comforted.

He squeezed Manbao's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Manbao looked around, and when Daji and Xibing behind him weren't paying attention, he stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the face, whispering: "I will really miss you."

Bai Shan felt as if he had eaten honey, and then he felt a sense of sourness. He whispered, "I will miss you too."

Daji behind him:... He said it as if they were going to separate tomorrow.

The two went home hand in hand. After thinking for a long time, Bai Shan decided to write a letter to Yang Heshu. He felt that he should tell Yang Heshu about this matter and ask for his opinion.

When the letter was sent to Xiazhou, officials from the Yushitai and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment in Qizhou also returned to the capital, bringing back a large number of account books and land books, all of which had been sold by the governor of Qizhou in the past eight years.

Land flow direction.

The emperor only met the governor of Qizhou once, and then he was unwilling to see him again. Instead, he met with Patriarch Zheng twice.

After the emperor and the court's conspiracy and conspiracy, the results of the treatment came out quickly.

The governor of Qizhou was dismissed for dereliction of duty, and a large number of public land transactions sold during his tenure were cancelled. The emperor took back the land at the original price, no matter how many hands it changed hands in the middle, or how much the buyer paid in the last hand.

.

The canceled transactions were determined after careful investigation and calculation by Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Household Affairs. They can confirm that no one is innocent.

This announcement will not only be posted on the city wall of Qizhou and the bulletin board outside the governor's office, but also on the bulletin board of Dali Temple in the capital, and a copy will be sent to each household.

Just when the people involved became angry and planned to violently resist the law, the Zheng family returned the land without paying a penny, and included an apology note, indicating that the land was bought by a steward in the family.

When I bought it, I said it was because the land was cheap, but I didn't know there was a hidden reason behind it. Mrs. Zheng unintentionally set a bad example for Da Jin. I feel really guilty.

Anyway, the ten hectares of land were returned to the name of Qizhou Governor's Office.

Then the emperor showed favoritism and directly allocated this piece of land to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which was in short supply of job land.

Wei Zhi and other ministers turned a blind eye and acted ignorant.

When other families saw this, they hesitated for a moment, and then the Ministry of Punishment and the local county government officials came to the door with copper coins to redeem their fields...

Some people handed me over silently, but some people simply closed the door and said they were not at home.

This period is very sensitive. Spring plowing has ended, the crops in the fields have grown, the wheat has turned yellow, and it will not take long to harvest. Even the tenants below will not agree to redeem the land at this time.
