Chapter 2985

In Bai Shan's mind, Tang He said to him when he left that day, "once the salt administration is opened, not only Yang Heshu, but also you and Zhou man will attract attention. After all, you two are the initiators."

He said, "but both of you have good abilities and don't take bribes. I'm afraid it's difficult for them to criticize you on business, so they can only start from your home."

"Your family and Zhou man's family are good breakthrough points. It's easy to be good. You should be careful from today on."

Bai Shan recovered slightly and couldn't decide whether Ning Yushi was reminding him, warning him or something else, so he said with a calm smile: "Ning Yushi joked. My fourth brother-in-law just sold the surplus medicinal materials planted at home and bought and sold some other things for the villagers. He's not a special merchant. Where would he do this business?"

"Really? It's just that I always heard that Lord Zhou's brother is doing a great deal of business in Beijing. It's a rumor?"

Bai Shan nodded affirmatively, "it's a rumor."

Ning Yushi smiled and skipped the topic for the time being.

When Bai Shan returned to the county government, he entered the office to meditate.

When Dong county Lieutenant came home from the yamen, he saw that he was still in the office. He knocked on the door, put his head in and asked, "Your Excellency is very busy on official business?"

Haven't you been idle lately?

The county magistrate handed over part of the county affairs to the county magistrate Fang and him. It is said that he should not be busy at the moment.

Bai Shan raised his eyelids and looked at him. He put down his pen, folded the half written letter and put it in his arms. A yamen servant said, "wash the pen."

Dong felt that the magistrate was not in a good mood. He touched his nose and walked out with him.

Bai Shan looked back at him, "I'll go home."

Dong county lieutenant was stunned and said, "the lower officer also goes home."

Bai Shan raised his chin. County magistrate Dong smiled awkwardly and turned to the county yamen gate. Isn't he used to it and didn't he change it?

Bai Shan came home from the small gate of the county yamen. Bai Erlang and they were all there. Cui yuan lived near the small gate. When he came out for a walk, he saw Bai Shan's thoughtful face and was overjoyed. He came forward and asked, "what's the difficulty of Lord Lang?"

Bai Shan saw him and slightly raised his eyebrows. Then he remembered that he was also a person with staff. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "fortunately, it's not very difficult to make decisions, but it will take some effort to achieve it, and things are cumbersome, so it's just a headache."

Cui yuan immediately said, "Cui is willing to serve Lord lang."

Bai Shan took him with him. He is an aide. Some things should be understood.

He introduced Cui yuan to Bai Erlang.

Bai Er looked at him strangely. "We lived in the backyard of the county government and didn't see childe Cui."

Bai Shan: "... At first I thought that the prince would live here. Even if man Bao and I moved out, others in the yard naturally moved out."

But in the end, the prince didn't live, so Bai Shan and Zhou Mancai didn't move. Cui yuan came back after Bai Erlang and they moved away.

Bai Shan read half of the letter to Zhou man and said, "you know, Beihai county official salt will be famous all over the world soon. You probably don't know what's going on in my family?"

This was mainly said to Cui yuan. He said, "I was born in the Bai family of Longzhou and was a collateral branch. Once the salt drying method is broken, I may become a thorn in the eye of some people. I can't find a hole here, so I can only look for it from my family."

Cui yuan was a little nervous and hurriedly asked, "how is the relationship between lord Lang and his family?"

"Generally," he said, "although we have more contacts in recent years, we seldom meet. Moreover, my family now mainly lives in the capital and earlier in mianzhou."

Cui yuan understood as soon as he heard it. It's not ordinary. It's obviously very poor.

"Then they can't threaten the Lord."

Bai Shan nodded. "It's not a threat, but the reminder should be done." Bai Shan looked at Zhou man. "I'm going to write to my grandmother, but the change of salt drying law and salt policy can't be spread from us, so..."

So what reason is he looking for?

Cui yuan thought about it and said, "it's not a secret for the crown prince to patrol the administration of officials, and it's not a secret to come to Qingzhou. Why not use this as an excuse?"

Bai Shan thought this was a good reason and gladly adopted it.

When Cui yuan was sent away and only five of them were left, the other four looked at Bai Shan together.

Bai Shan looked back at them and raised his eyebrows. "What am I doing?"

Yin or drank tea without talking, Bai Erlang asked with a smile, "are you testing your staff? I can find such a reason. Can't you think of it? "

Man Bao also smiled: "you still pretend to be distressed and embarrassed."

Bai Shan: "... I'm really distressed."

"Ah?" Zhou man looked at him suspiciously, and yin or looked up curiously.

Bai Shan sighed: "it's not because of Bai, but because of your family."

Zhou man pointed to his nose and asked, "my home?"

"Yes," Bai Shan sat beside her and said, "I have a general relationship with my family. It's not difficult to inquire about such things. I'm afraid the trouble they can give me is to encourage the family to come to the door and invite benefits, but you are different."

Zhou man asked, "my problem... The caravan in the hands of the fourth brother?"

"Yes," Bai Shan said, "although the fourth brother has pressed the scale of the caravan, he still makes more money every year."

It can be seen from the money Zhou man gets every year.

"Even if we say that most of what he sells is the output of the fields and villages, which also belongs to crops, but if the scale is too large, it will still be recognized as a commercial nationality," Bai Shan said. "Now the Zhou family is not only an official, but also Lixue and Ligu, Sanniang and Liru. There will be Lizhong and Liwei in the future, and even the children of the fourth brother will take an official career in the future, so the family must not fall into a commercial nationality."

Although Zhou man and Zhou Liru have been married, which does not have a great impact on them, the Zhou family is one, especially Zhou man and Zhou Liru have deep feelings for their family.

So it's best to prepare for this kind of thing in advance.

He said, "the fourth brother had better hand over the caravan in his hand."

Zhou man turned his eyes and said, "for example, write it down in someone else's name like your caravan?"

Bai Shan flashed a smile in his eyes and nodded, "yes."

"But your family doesn't have a servant, and the servants you buy now can't trust. Even if you leave their family and have the other party's deed of sale, there will still be risks, so you can only give it to your relatives." Bai Shan said: "or choose a close family from Qili Village to help, or..."

He looked at man Bao. Man Bao also looked up at him and blinked, "give it all to Lijun?"

Bai Shan flashed a smile in his eyes and nodded: "yes, in fact, in the long run, it's better to give it to relatives than to Lijun. Married women rarely intervene in their mother's financial business, but your family is somewhat different."
