Chapter 2972 ​​Thoughts surge

After leaving the courtyard, Governor Guo and others were not idle. Inspector Luo and Zhou Liwei made room for them. The soldiers squeezed each other and made a row of rooms for them.

They were lucky enough to live in the same row as the prince, but the distance was just a matter of distance.

As Bai Shan's confidants, both of them unanimously assigned the room closest to the prince to Bai Shan and Zhou Man. Therefore, except for the princess consort, Yin You and Tang lord Ning Yushi, they were the ones brought by the prince.

Two already.

It was such a coincidence that Governor Guo's room was right next to Bai Shan and Zhou Man's. When he took his subordinates to his room and wanted to have a private chat, he found that Bai Shan and Zhou Man's servants were busy next door.

He was silent for a moment and then looked at Magistrate Lu.

Magistrate Lu immediately understood and said sideways: "Sir, it's still early, why don't you go and sit in my room?"

Governor Guo nodded, and the other officials followed him.

When we arrived at Magistrate Lu's room, it was quieter and the light was dimmer.

Governor Guo simply stopped entering the house, and stood in the open space in front of the door, looking at Magistrate Lu, and asked: "Magistrate Lu, I remember that you were the one who built the Jiawa Saltworks in the first place, right?"

Magistrate Lu sighed, looked around and said, "Your Excellency, you should be able to tell that there should be a wall in front of you. The walls on the left and right are still there. Half of these rooms now were built by me before."

He pointed at the stoves not far away that had not been completely dismantled and said: "I built those stoves for cooking salt. They have been dismantled a lot. Now only the ones in front are left.

.”

Some of the ones that were not dismantled were still being used for cooking, and the soldiers in the kitchen were cooking.

"So the salt-drying method was discovered by County Magistrate Bai?" Governor Guo asked just to confirm again. If Magistrate Lu knew about this method, he would have used it long ago.

Magistrate Lu nodded and sighed in his heart, no wonder Bai Shan could deal with the Song family so forcefully. If he had this treasure in his hand, he would not be afraid of the Song family.

The Song family doesn't have that much prestige and land in Beihai County. They are able to interfere in county affairs only because they control the Longchi Salt Field.

Bai Shan came to the rescue and shut down the Longchi Saltworks. Two arms of the Song family were cut off directly.

Governor Guo also thought about the Song family, but he quickly threw it out of his mind. For him, the Song family was not worth mentioning at this time, and even the power struggle with Magistrate Lu was not that important.

With the advent of the salt-drying method and the prince's emphasis on it, Governor Guo undoubtedly had a wider road in front of him, but there were also more knives on the road.

Opportunities and dangers coexist.

He is hesitating.

Not only Governor Guo, but also the officials standing in front of Governor Guo also had different thoughts.

As soon as they left, they dispersed and automatically got together in twos and threes. "Once this salt drying method is introduced, our other coastal counties in Qingzhou can also change their salt production methods."

"I still don't know if it's true or false?"

"Bai Shan has a bright future, why would he lie about this kind of thing? Don't look at Ning Yushi's disbelief. If you have seen the salt production process with your own eyes, in fact, you have no doubts in your heart. It's just to be more sure so early.

That’s all.”

"Then the sky in our Qingzhou is going to change?"

"Qingzhou is okay. Originally, the county that produces salt is mainly Beihai County, and the most important one is Jiangnan, right?"

"Yes, if this method spreads, then all places near the sea can dry salt. Will the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River..."

"We have all seen the salt-drying method today. It seems quite simple. Aren't you afraid that we will spread the word?"

"Yes, you can definitely learn from Jiangnan."

As soon as Magistrate Lu and others dispersed, he also called in his staff.

He and other officials' aides stayed at the end of the crowd and did not hear what was said in front of them, but they had eyes to see.

He still can't come to his senses even now, mainly because he followed Magistrate Lu all the way from Beihai County to Linzi County.

So I checked again and again, "Is it really caused by the sun?"

Magistrate Lu nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

The staff finally sighed: "No wonder."

He felt that this could not be blamed on County Magistrate Lu being inferior to others, but rather, "The accumulation of aristocratic families is different after all. You don't need to take it to heart."

Magistrate Lu: "I didn't take it seriously, but Bai Shan's method probably did not come from the accumulation of aristocratic families."

He said: "Although I don't know where his salt-drying method comes from, a big family like Cui Yang doesn't know it, let alone a small family like the Bai family that lives in the interior. And Bai Shan just

Side branch."

The staff member looked at it and found that there was no worry on the adult's face. On the contrary, he was still a little excited, "My lord?"

Magistrate Lu walked around twice and said excitedly: "This is not only an opportunity for Baishan, but also an opportunity for Beihai County, and an opportunity for Qingzhou. Naturally, it is also an opportunity for Linzi and us."

The staff thought the same thing and became a little excited, "Your Excellency and Magistrate Bai are still allies."

County Magistrate Lu shushed and asked him to speak in a lower voice, "The salt-drying method cannot be concealed. There are too many people who saw it today. Even if we control it, it won't take long for the method to spread to Jiangnan. So Beihai County

There’s actually not much time.”

"Magistrate Bai will definitely cooperate with you again."

County Magistrate Lu also thought the same. He smiled and touched his mustache, "Guo Governor has better hands and eyes. I'm afraid that if he thinks more, he may not be able to completely get together with Bai Shan." This was his chance.

.

It was completely dark outside, and only human figures could barely be seen.

Bai Shan and Mr. Tang walked slowly back to their rooms while enjoying the sea breeze. They lived in two adjacent rooms.

Master Tang stopped in his tracks because he saw the lights on in the house in front of him.

Bai Shan said, "Princess and the others haven't come back yet. Senior brother, do you want to go with me to pick them up?"

Mr. Tang thought for a moment and then nodded, "That's fine."

Bai Shan glanced at Daji behind him, and then slowly walked towards the seaside with Mr. Tang. After a while, Daji came up with two torches and handed one to Baishan.

Bai Shan took it and explained to Mr. Tang, "The wind is strong at the seaside and the lantern cannot hold the fire."

Mr. Tang nodded, looked back at the bustling salt field in the night, smiled slightly and said: "With a few more people here, this place will continue to be lively, and it will definitely be prosperous in the future."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's just that the road in and out is difficult. If we want to attract more merchants here, the most important thing is to build roads."

Mr. Tang nodded and said with a smile: "You are quite courageous. Do you mean you want to stay in Qingzhou for a long time?"

Bai Shandao: "What's wrong? In Beihai County, we govern the place and do things for the people. When we go to other places, don't we also govern the place and do things for the people?"
