Chapter 2959 Inspection (7 for book friend Murong Qingqing)
Chapter 2959 Inspection (Additional update 7 for the reward for book friend "Murong qingqing")
At that time, the conversation between Bai Shan and Mr. Song had spread to the outside world. Now the prestige of the Song family has been greatly affected. Even if he now has access to Governor Guo's path, unless Bai Shan can be squeezed out of Beihai County by him, the Song family will always be under Bai Shan's control.
Press one end.
Magistrate Lu felt complicated and a little happy, "Sure enough, the future life is to be feared."
It was much better than him planning for two years before daring to take action, and then losing when he did.
Magistrate Lu almost shed tears of excitement and sadness.
Governor Guo was not in his good mood. He sent someone to go to Beihai County again to "check carefully to see if Bai Shan is really not in the county government office."
Bai Shan was really not in the county government office. Since he was going to perform, he had to do it more realistically, so he went to the countryside the next day.
But now that the busy farming season is over and the crops in the fields are growing well, he doesn't seem to need to go to the countryside, so he thought about it and went to Longchi.
He stood on the beach of Longchi, looked out, and asked Zhao Ming, who was accompanying him, "Is Laizhou over there?"
"yes."
Bai Shan nodded slightly and looked up. There were only a few ships on the bay, so he asked, "Have you been to the ferry in Laizhou?"
Zhao Ming shook his head, "I haven't been there, but Prime Minister Fang County is from Laizhou, so he should have been there."
"I wonder how the ferry in Laizhou compares with ours..."
Zhao Ming couldn't answer the words. He felt that these words were very dangerous. Do you want to build a ferry in Longchi and grab the merchant ships going out to sea in Laizhou?
Bai Shan looked back at the old salt field not far away, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The salt field over there in Dajiawa is good, but the old salt field here is no longer necessary. We need to find another way to make a living."
Zhao Ming was speechless.
Bai Shan walked along the coast of Longchi for three days. After walking through the nearby terrain and villages, he turned around and went to Jiajiawa to see the new salt field.
Zhou Liwei hired many people to open a lot of salt fields. He calculated the time for drying salt in each field. Although it was very hard at first to be busy, and his hair fell out every night looking at the salt fields that he had written down and drawn, but after he became proficient, he
It's much easier.
Sometimes he just doesn't go to the salt fields to check the situation. He can tell which salt fields are about to harvest salt by looking at the pictures he drew and the data he wrote down.
Nowadays, salt is produced from salt fields almost every day.
When Bai Shan arrived, Zhou Liwei and his men were digging trenches.
He plans to dig ravines all the way to the first row of salt fields for drying. The seawater that has been dried once will enter the second salt field at the back, and then enter the third salt field after being screened...
The salt is then harvested and ready for use.
According to the book given by Bai Shan and Zhou Man, there is actually a way to reprocess the dried salt, which is to rub the salt, add water, filter it, and then dry it in the sun. The salt that comes out is white and fine.
I have never seen such fine white salt.
However, this is too labor-intensive and time-consuming, and it cannot be dried roughly in the field. After asking Bai Shanhou, they gave up this operation and felt that there was no need to put manpower on it now.
Zhou Liwei wore a bamboo hat on his head and his trouser legs were rolled up to his knees. Maybe it was too hot. He didn't bother to wear a robe and just wore a short gua. He was digging soil with a hoe in his hand. When Bai Shan arrived, the villagers called him twice.
Only then did he raise his head with sweat on his face.
Bai Shan looked at his flushed face and asked, "Are you suffering from heat stroke?"
Zhou Liwei wiped the sweat from his face and shook his head, "No? I think it's pretty good."
Bai Shan frowned and waved for him to come up.
Zhou Liwei put the hoe on the side, raised his foot and was about to jump up, but stumbled and fell backward...
Bai Shan grabbed his arm with quick eyes and hands, and he was led forward a step. When he was about to fall, Daji caught him.
Daji held Bai Shan with one hand and pulled Zhou Liwei with the other hand, pulling him up at once.
Zhou Liwei felt his eyes dazzled for a moment, and when he regained consciousness, he was sitting on the ground.
Bai Shan poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, preventing him from swallowing it, "Hold it."
A strange smell rushed from his tongue to his head. Zhou Liwei perked up and asked with a grimace, "What is this?"
"Xiaoshu Pills, pills made by your sister-in-law," Bai Shan asked with some gloating, "Does it work well?"
Zhou Liwei was speechless.
Bai Shan had already said to Zhao Ming: "Let everyone call it a day. It's still too early. Let them come back at the right time."
Zhou Liwei glared, "Whose family only goes to work during the You period?"
Bai Shandao: "Now that the sun is so hot, who gets to judge whether it's good or bad? It's just the right time. It takes an hour to get dark. That's enough."
Bai Shan insisted, and Zhou Liwei had no choice but to obey.
The villagers cheered and went home carrying hoes, baskets and shovels.
They came to dig ditches not to serve, but as hired laborers. The wages Zhou Liwei paid them were the same as the wages paid to the salt farm workers, which was quite a lot and better than fishing.
Although it was very sunny, they did not feel it was very hard, because they had to bask in the sun when going to the sea, and it was even more dangerous. Someone could die if they were not careful.
It is much safer to dig ditches on dry land, and Zhou Liwei also provides food.
In the past two months, they have eaten the most rice and noodles in history.
After all the villagers were dismissed, Bai Shan helped Zhou Liwei back to the house.
They built rows of houses at the foot of the mountain, near the salt fields. Now they mainly employ villagers from Xiaowa Village, so the houses are mainly occupied by Luo's patrol soldiers, and Zhou Liwei.
His wife Lanxin is also here.
When they helped Zhou Liwei back, Lan Xin was mending clothes in the house. She came out when she heard the noise and immediately went to greet her, "Uncle, you are here."
Seeing that Zhou Liwei's expression was not right, he was a little anxious and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Shan said to him, "I have heat stroke. Is there any boiling water at home? Let him drink some warm water."
Lan Xin said: "Yes."
Lan Xin immediately went to the kitchen to get water.
Bai Shan helped Zhou Liwei in, and Daji came in with a basin of cold water and twisted a towel for him.
As soon as Zhou Liwei put it on his face and pressed the pill under his tongue, he felt that his dizzy head became much clearer.
When he calmed down, Bai Shan looked him up and down, shook his head and said: "How long has it been so long? Why have you become so bad? If your sister-in-law sees it, she will think that I have wronged you. Don't be like this."
Work hard, even if you work, you should balance work with rest. We don’t need to eat to become a fat man."
Zhou Liwei: "...Didn't you say that the county government has no money, so you are just waiting for the official salt to be sold to make money?"
"Yes, but life is more important than money, and we now have a lot of official salt in stock."
Bai Shan has always cherished his life. Even if he was busy, he would always control it so that it would never harm his body.
In this regard, Zhou Man and he are particularly similar. Except for a few special occasions, the two of them basically do not overtax their bodies.
Especially Bai Shan, so he always gave people the impression that he was doing everything slowly, which made Zhou Liwei a little anxious.
So he wisely changed the subject and asked Bai Shan: "Do we need official salt? Do we need to transport it to the county seat?"
"No need," Bai Shan said: "The time is not up yet, keep putting it in the warehouse. I'm just... having nothing to do in the county office, so I came to see you."
Zhou Liwei stared: "Being a county magistrate is so relaxing?"
