Chapter 2977 Birthday Banquet

What exactly is there in our valley?

Master Song held the tea cup in his hand and thought. There were two people in his mind who were constantly at odds. One told him not to fight with his thighs with his arms; the other said that no matter who came, Longchi Saltworks was the most important thing for Beihai County.

The most important thing is that Bai Shan will not give up the salt farm, so the Song family still has a chance.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, Chief Song hesitated for a moment and then said: "Uncle, I vaguely heard the Dong County Lieutenant mention that His Royal Highness the Prince is going to send a group of soldiers to Beihai County. I don't know what the use is, but those people are for

For the county magistrate."

Mr. Song's face changed slightly, and the balance in his heart suddenly tipped to the other side.

He closed his eyes and said: "Last year was a troubled year, and I didn't celebrate my birthday very much. This year, I plan to celebrate it in a big way. The date will be June 12th. On that day, I will invite County Magistrate Bai, Mr. Zhou and the county government officials.

Your Excellency is here to attend. I will write you a few invitations in a moment and ask you to forward them to Magistrate Bai on my behalf."

Mr. Song’s birthday is in August, so it has been moved forward to June. Isn’t this too early?

However, Chief Secretary Song did not express his opinion. He agreed and said, "Who else does uncle want to invite?"

Mr. Song said: "I will invite anyone I can. I don't know if Magistrate Lu and Governor Guo of Qingzhou City are willing to show their favor."

Master Song understood clearly that Mr. Song even wanted to invite the county magistrate, so he obviously planned to take another step back.

Chief Song agreed and finally left with five freshly written invitations.

He first gave one to Dong County Lieutenant and Fang County Prime Minister, and then went to Bai Shan and presented the three envelopes, "...my uncle did not dare to come rashly to invite the princess and the consort, so he asked his subordinate to send the invitations.

If you are interested, you can go to the Song family to sit down and let the Song family take care of you."

There was also an invitation addressed to Zhou Man.

Zhou Man's official position is not small, so Mr. Song gave her a separate invitation to express his respect. However, Bai Shan and Zhou Man felt that he wanted to charge them an extra gift.

Bai Shan accepted the invitation and took the post home with him.

Zhou Man took Mingda to the medical office today to let her see her treating patients. Now they came back holding hands for lunch.

Bai Shan handed them two envelopes and said, "This is a birthday banquet sent by Mr. Song, will you go?"

Zhou Man said without thinking: "Of course."

She asked, "Mr. Song is a local gangster in Beihai County, right? When he celebrates his birthday, will the district chiefs and wealthy households come to attend?"

Bai Shan: "They should be able to do it all."

Zhou Man then turned around and said to Mingda: "Our opportunity has come. When the time comes, we will talk to the women who came to the birthday banquet, and we will learn from each other. Sometimes, as long as we convince these women from wealthy families, we don't need to do anything more."

No matter what, ordinary people will imitate their behavior."

Mingda was also a little excited, "Would you like me to help?"

"Of course," Zhou Man said, "You are a princess, so what you say is much more effective than me."

She said: "You don't need to ask them what to do, just tell them what the capital and the palace are like, and they will rush to imitate it."

Bai Shan looked back and forth between the two of them and asked, "What do the capital and the palace look like?"

Mingda's face turned red and he said, "This is our women's business."

Zhou Man, who was about to answer Bai Shan, swallowed his words, nodded and said: "Yes, don't ask, just do your own thing. By the way, do you want to threaten Mr. Song? Do you want us to cooperate with you?"

acting?"

"...No need," Bai Shan refused: "It will be enough for me to bring Dong Xianwei and Fangxian Cheng."

He glanced outside and frowned slightly, "Why haven't Bai Er and Yin Er come back yet?"

A guard came back and reported back: "County Magistrate Bai, the Prince Consort asked me to come back and say that he and Mr. Yin are dining out and will not come back."

Bai Shan couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous. He waved his hand and waited for him to retreat before he said to Princess Mingda: "Since the princess is determined to do good deeds in Beihai County, why not invite the consort to join us?"

So that he won't have to do nothing all day long.

Mingda smiled and agreed, but did not refuse.

At this time, there were still nine days until June 12th, and Bai Shan still kept everything about Jiawa secretly hidden. Chief Song tried hard for two days, but still couldn't get any news.

On the contrary, Mr. Song vaguely heard some rumors from Qingzhou City, saying that the salt farm in Jiawali produced a lot of salt, but it did not use the traditional method of boiling salt.

No matter how much Mr. Song inquires, he won't be able to find out. In fact, it's not that he can't find out. As long as he is willing to pay, there are still people who are willing to report in detail.

Even if there is a censor in Qingzhou City at this time.

But Mr. Song was unwilling to pay a high price for such a piece of news, so he always received somewhat vague news.

During this period, the officialdom of Qingzhou was completely empty, because most of the county magistrates in Qingzhou were newly appointed after the accident last year. They had only been in office for more than half a year, just a few months earlier than Bai Shan, and they were just getting used to it.

Come over here.

The prince suddenly came to inspect with his censor and Tang He. They were... faintly excited.

They haven't had time to make mistakes yet, and they don't want to make them, so they are quite happy to have such a big boss come down to supervise the management of officials.

Tang He checked the previous cases in each county and found that most of them were fine, so he followed the prince's instructions and took a look at the population of each county.

He directly told the prince: "It is impossible for Your Highness to move people from other counties in Qingzhou into Beihai County. They don't have many people."

The prince was very disgusted and said: "The gentry in Lu area are powerful, Qi and Wei are overcrowded, why is Qingzhou so poor and with so few people?"

Tang He said nothing.

The prince then rubbed his forehead and said, "That's all, let's go to Laizhou tomorrow to take a look. Doesn't Bai Shan want to compete with Laizhou for merchants and the ferry? Let's go and take a look at the ferry in Laizhou."

Tang He responded.

Yushi Xia couldn't help but ask, "What should Yushi Ning do?"

The prince said nonchalantly: "He is still looking at the sun-dried salt in the Jiawa Salt Farm. We will meet him after we finish looking at Laizhou."

He said: "If Laizhou can use it, the more places to dry salt, the better."

Xia Yushi thought the same thing, and transferred to Laizhou with Prince Tang He.

At this time, Bai Shan was dressed up and asked Daji to bring the birthday gifts they had prepared to the Song family to celebrate his birthday.

All in all, this is the first time Bai Shan has hosted such a grand banquet since he took office. The previous Dragon Boat Festival and Jie Feng Banquets were not of this scale.

So Bai Shan was also very concerned about this banquet. He deliberately put on a set of casual clothes that had just been made. As soon as he left the hospital, he turned around to find Yin He.

Yin You was also ready. When he saw him coming alone, he asked, "Where is Man Bao?"

Bai Shan said helplessly: "She ran to find the princess early in the morning. She is probably waiting for us on the street. Let's go."

Yin You asked Changshou to hold the gift box and said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Song will regret hosting the birthday banquet two months in advance after today."
