Chapter 2879 Believe

For two days in a row, Bai Shan didn't mention the matter of building a stove. Instead, he asked the village chief to lead the villagers to open three or four salt fields at the seaside, and then drove them directly into the sea water to dry.

Chief Song stayed there for two days, feeling that Bai Shan's efforts were in vain, but seeing that he had hit a wall and refused to look back, he rarely expressed any objections.

However, it was too hot at the beach, so Chief Song said to Bai Shan, "Sir, there are still many things to deal with in the county government office. Why don't I go back to the county government office first?"

"No need," Bai Shan said, "There is County Magistrate Fang over there at the county government office. The matter of the new salt farm will be left to the village chief. We will go inspect the next village."

Secretary Song: "...Sir, let them handle this salt field? What if they cook the salt secretly?"

Bai Shan disagreed, "Private salt is a serious crime. Their family lives here, and I have opened a salt farm here. How can they think so?"

"I haven't decided yet who will manage the salt farm. I'll wait until I think about it. Anyway, the sun won't produce salt for a while, so I'll keep it for now."

Chief Secretary Song:......

The village chief on the side was very sad when he heard this.

Bai Shan went to him privately, circled several places for him and said: "I have visited these places in the past two days. These places have the highest salt content. Some of them even have salt brine underground, so your salt fields must be dug from here to

Here, if there is salt brine, it is melted and dried in the salt fields."

The village chief was shocked and asked quickly: "Since there is salt brine, it can be used after stirring it with water and boiling it again. Why do you have to melt it in the salt field?"

Until now, the village chief still doesn't believe that the sun can produce salt.

Bai Shan insisted, "You are right to listen to me. Now you dig the salt fields to dry the salt. I will come back after a while."

Although the village chief is worried about the future of the village, Bai Shan pays the wages, and he already knows about the secret cooking of salt in the village, so the village chief dare not disobey him.

He could only respond with a sigh,

When Bai Shan saw that he obeyed, he safely took his people to other villages and began to patrol. At present, the main thing is spring planting. Bai Shan also took a look at the situation of wheat.

Man Bao followed him all the way to the free clinic with a cart full of medicinal materials. When she finally consumed all the medicinal materials, they returned to the county town.

Dong County Lieutenant and Master Song, who were already dark, became even darker. However, Bai Shan and Zhou Man always wore hats, and maybe they were born with them. They didn't tan much, which made Master Song jealous.

As soon as they entered the city, Master Song subconsciously wanted to follow them back to the county government office. However, a servant from his family came over and said, "Master Sir, the old lady is not feeling well."

Upon hearing this, Chief Song immediately said: "County Magistrate Bai, I will go home first to see my old mother. Over there at the county government..."

Bai Shan nodded immediately and said: "Go, we are there at the county government office. Say hello to the old lady for me and ask her to take care of herself."

Chief Song agreed and immediately picked up his robe and hurried home with his servants.

Man Bao watched him run away and tutted: "I wanted to be polite. If the illness doesn't heal, I can also go out for medical treatment."

Bai Shan said: "Don't scare him now, let's go back."

Man Bao nodded.

The county government office was very quiet, and it looked particularly peaceful on the surface. As soon as the two entered the county government office, Fang Xiancheng immediately welcomed them out, and the three of them went to the office to talk.

Lieutenant Dong Xian looked around and went to find his subordinates.

When his subordinates saw him, they looked horrified and said, "Lieutenant Dong County, you are finally back. Do you know how much has happened in the past few days?"

Lieutenant Dong Xian asked calmly: "How big is the matter?"

The other party lowered his voice and said: "Fang County Magistrate took advantage of the absence of the county magistrate, you and Master Song to check the salt farm's accounts. As a result, he found out that something was wrong, and immediately took away Manager Song from the salt farm. Not only that, the household

The two secretaries on the other side of the room have also been captured and are currently in prison."

He was about to cry but said without tears: "It would be better if you came back half a day earlier. Early this morning, Fang County Cheng led us to ransack the three people's homes."

Lieutenant Dong Xian asked curiously: "Have you copied anything?"

"I copied it out. There are a lot of valuable silks and silks, and several sacks of copper coins. Not to mention that Manager Song is only in his early thirties. Even if he works for another thirty years, he won't be able to earn anything with his little salary and family land.

There are so many things, and now he can't tell the origin of them, and there are errors in the accounts. Unless the county magistrate shows mercy, he will be dead."

Lieutenant Dong County said: "County Magistrate Bai will not be merciful, just let them give up."

Most of the matter was done through consultation between Magistrate Bai and Magistrate Fang.

Although Bai Shan now favors Fang Xian Cheng more than him, Dong Xian Lieutenant is the person who has stayed with Bai Shan the most since he came to the county.

He had been watching how the county magistrate handled local affairs and relations.

To be honest, although it was a bit aggressive, I have to say that the speed at which he did this was much faster than the way County Magistrate Lu had slowly laid out his plans before taking power.

Of course, the result must be clear. If Bai Shan wins, then he will be the one to rule the Beihai County government from now on; if Bai Shan loses, not only will those families remain the same as before, but they will even become more powerful than before.

The county magistrate's business over the past few years will be ruined.

However, County Lieutenant Dong was not anxious at all. He said to his subordinates: "Don't talk about these gossips anymore. We are just following orders and doing things. We will do whatever the superiors tell us. Do you understand?"

The subordinate nodded blankly and asked, "Aren't you going to remind Master Song about this?"

He remembered that their boss had a very good relationship with Master Song.

Just as the thought flashed across his mind, his boss slapped him on the head. Dong County Lieutenant said angrily: "Do you need us to remind you? They have gone home long ago. We are just a group of government officials responsible for public security. We will protect and govern them.

My fellow citizens, just protect the adults and don’t let traitors cause trouble, and don’t worry about the rest.”

Subordinate: "Oh."

County Lieutenant Dong sent away his subordinates, turned around and glanced at the office over there, and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the county town was going to be in chaos again. He didn't know who would suffer this time, or whether both parties would suffer.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to be a fisherman, otherwise it would be very profitable to be a fisherman at this time.

In the office, Bai Shan flipped through the account books. Fang Xiancheng was very considerate and specially painted the problematic accounts in red and marked them on the edges so that he could understand them at a glance.

He handed the booklet to Zhou Man to read and asked, "Only one steward was arrested?"

Fangxian Cheng said: "My lord, Beihai County must pay a certain amount of salt to the Qingzhou governor's office every quarter. If too many people are arrested and the sea salt cannot be boiled, they will be punished at that time."

Bai Shandao: "If you don't catch them, will they be able to boil the salt on time?"

"this……"

Bai Shan said simply: "Arrest all those who can find out the problem now, and then interrogate them. Arrest all those who can find out the problem, and then we will investigate again."
