Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2889 confidant

  Man Bao took a sip of water first, and asked him, "What happened to the magistrate Lu?"

  Bai Shan said: "He agreed."

The county magistrate Lu certainly agreed. Otherwise, if Bai Shan and Guo Cheng unite, as Bai Shan said, Guo Cheng is a person who loves power. They are both in Qingzhou City, and there will definitely be conflicts. As a governor, his power is still very high. big.

  At that time, if Bai Shan and Guo Cheng form an alliance, it will be the worst for him.

  Man Bao thought for a while and said: "In the past two days, I will take Wen Tiandong to get acquainted with the county, and then take him to the countryside. When Guo Cishi arrives, I will talk to him about the development of the medical department."

  Bai Shan nodded, "Be careful when you go to the countryside."

  Man Bao responded.

  Bai Shan had to take Zhou Liwei to get acquainted with the county government in the past two days, so he took him with him to deal with various government affairs, mainly to familiarize him with Fangxian Chengdong County Wei and others.

  Fang County Cheng couldn’t help but look at Zhou Liwei’s words, thinking that he shouldn’t have come to be Master Bai Shan, so he couldn’t help asking, "Where do you want to put Zhou Langjun?"

  Bai Shan smiled and said, "First let him get acquainted with the county government."

  Dong County Wei felt a little bit, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Shan.

  Sure enough, within two days, Bai Shan took Zhou Liwei and Dong Xianwei to the countryside, and directly took them to the new saltworks in Dajiawa.

  A lot of salt fields were driven out here. The village chief listened to Bai Shan's instructions and led the villagers to dig a deep gully to extend it out. When the seawater inverted, it could flow down these gully to the various salt pans.

  Even if the seawater can't flush the sea water back, it is easy for them to pour seawater into the gully.

  But at this moment, not only the salt pan was opened in front, but also the sunny land on the hillside at the back was leveled and ridged to form a piece of divided fields. At this time, the fields were also seawater, but thinner.

  No, it can't be said to be thin, but there are white crystals underwater, which seems to have raised the ground a bit, making it appear that there is less water.

  The head of the village greeted him excitedly when he saw him, "My lord county magistrate, come and see if we are drying like this, right? Do you think there is salt in this field?"

Bai Shan stepped forward, stretched his hand into the field and twisted it. He twisted the white crystal with a finger, and tasted it in his mouth. It was a bit bitter but salty. He nodded in satisfaction, "Yes. Salt."

  The village chief knew it was salt a long time ago, so he was so excited. He didn't expect the sun to get the salt out.

  Bai Shan asked, "Have you used the salt here?"

  The village chief quickly said: "No, no one of us dare to move without the order of an adult."

  Bai Shan smiled and said, "I want to compare the difference between the salt that you get out of the sun and the salt that you cook."

  There are still some. The salt from the sun is less bitter than the salt from the boil. Bai Shan eats the two kinds of salt and meditates, “Why is the boiled salt more bitter?”

  His eyes looked back and forth on the sea water in the field, and finally looked at the two salt pans before and after he thoughtfully.

Wei Dong Xian didn’t think about why the salt was more bitter. He only felt that the innocence in Beihai County was about to change. He was a little excited and couldn’t suppress his emotions and asked Bai Shan, "My lord, the quality of these salt is better, isn’t it? Can you sell it at a better price?"

  Bai Shan returned to his senses, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Natural."

  He asked Lieutenant Dong, "The two inspectors in Beihai County, who do you have a better relationship with?"

  Dong County Wei's heart jumped, and he immediately lowered his head and said: "Xiaguan and Luo Xunjian have a good chat, and occasionally they meet for a drink together."

  Bai Shan nodded, and said to him: "When I go back, I will also ask him out for a bar."

He looked deeply at the lush hillside not far away: "Although the new saltworks does not require firewood to boil salt, it is not good for a fire in such a good place. I will give an order to let inspector Luo bring someone over. Stationed at the new salt field, Dong County Wei Duoduo assisted him."

  Dong County Lieutenant responded immediately, "Yes."

  Bai Shan was satisfied, and only then introduced Zhou Liwei to the village chief, “This is the steward of everyone's Wa salt farm, Zhou Liwei, you will listen to his dispatch in the future.”

   said to Zhou Liwei again: "If you don't understand anything about the salt field, you can ask the village chief. I will go back to the old salt field to look for it and see if I can find two helpers for you."

   Zhou Liwei responded.

Zhou Liwei wants to take charge of the salt field, so he can’t return to the county seat. He lives in the village directly. Bai Shan said, “I’ll set aside a certain amount of money for you. In turn, you will choose a plot of land nearby to build the house. Live, if there are long-term workers who are exposed to salt in the future, they also need to live."

   Zhou Liwei responded.

The village chief beside    looked anxious and said hurriedly: "My lord, everyone in our village will work hard."

  Bai Shan smiled after hearing the words: “Under the same conditions, it is natural to give priority to the admission of people from the village, but the salt field will expand later, so this number of people is obviously not enough.”

Because this piece of land can’t grow too much food, it’s vast and sparsely populated. Dajiawa is basically a fishing village, and some of it is mountain forest, and the village is small. They don’t rely on farming for a lot of harvest. There are also villagers who go to the sea to fish, and their lives are worse than in Xiaowa Village.

  He needs to recruit a large number of people even if it’s just for the salt field, and some people will definitely move over when the time comes.

  Bai Shan touched his chin thoughtfully. The population of Beihai County is still too small. It would be nice if some people could migrate from other places.

  Looking back to find out if there is a way to produce high yields on these grounds, I dare not say how high the yield of food is, as long as it can be the same as the Central Plains area, it can also feed many people.

With a plan in mind, Bai Shan quietly said to Zhou Liwei: "Pay attention to calm the emotions of the villagers. If you have time, take a walk around and find suitable places to build houses and live in. In turn, Yantian needs to build more. There are houses."

   Zhou Liwei responded and asked, "My uncle, would you like to find bittern on the beach?"

  It was also the first time he saw the sea. He had only seen well salt but never sea salt, and asked, "Is there bittern under the seabed?"

Bai Shan has already memorized the booklet given by Man Bao, and he has also thought about it. He said: "Some places have them, and some don't. I don't know if there is any in this sea. You can find one if you have time. Look, maybe there will be."

   "By the way, the sea is not the same as the river at the entrance of the village. Don't swim in the sea and be swept away by the waves. I am not responsible."

  Zhou Liwei: "...I am not a child."

  I’m a little older than you, do you need to tell him about this kind of thing?

  Bai Shan left without worry, the new salt field had salt out of it, and he let go of his hands and feet when he had to deal with the old salt field.

  Dong County Wei asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to tell Fang Xiancheng about this?"

  Bai Shan pondered for a moment and said: “Don’t worry, wait until the old salt field is handled.”

  Dong County Lieutenant realized that he was Bai Shan's first confidant, no, the second confidant, and the first confidant should be Zhou Liwei, who has just taken office.

  However, Zhou Liwei was just a small official, and he couldn't be compared with him. Lieutenant Dong felt that he was still the first confidant as far as the county government was concerned.

See you tomorrow
