Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2964 Fooling and fooling

   When Bai Shan and Zhou Manxiang arrived at Cishi’s Mansion, Guo Cishi’s face had turned black again.

  But seeing that the clothes of the two are neat, their faces are white and clean, the whole person is refreshed, and their faces are full of smiles. Even the impetuous Guo Cishi feels a little more comfortable.

  Bai Shan was dressed in a green official uniform, while Zhou Man was in crimson. When the two entered the study, they hurried forward to salute Guo Cishi.

  Guo Cishi glanced at Bai Shan, only waved at him, got up and replied Zhou Man, then asked Zhou Man to sit down, and then asked the standing Bai Shan, "Why did you come now?"

Bai Shan said with a guilty expression: "My lord, a few days ago, someone crossed the checkpoint and entered the new salt field in everyone's Wali. You also know that banditry has only occurred in Beihai County, and the lower officials are always afraid that there will be similar things in the local area. Existence, but the subordinate official lives in the high hall and does not know the evil underneath, so in order to prevent the people from being threatened by violence, the subordinate official took people to the countryside on unannounced visits."

Bai Shan listed the villages he walked through and some basic information. Some small villages have only appeared in recent years. Not to mention Guo Cishi, it is that Bai Shan only found out that there is such a village when he went to the place and asked the villagers, so Guo The governor's eyes darkened, and he interrupted quickly, "Okay, this official knows, so have you returned to the county government?"

Bai Shan said “no” with a look of ashamed expression. He said: “The lower official came across the government officer who reported the letter yesterday on the way back to the county government. The adults were afraid that the officials would delay the affairs of the adults, so they packed up their luggage and waited outside the city. As soon as we met, we immediately came to Qingzhou City. After half a night on the road, we arrived before dawn. We'll come in when you drive."

  A pair who didn’t know that Guo Cishi wanted to go through the back door to let Song Min go.

  Guo Cishi didn't say a word, glanced at the aides standing by and bowed his head to drink tea.

  The staff quietly retreated.

  The room calmed down for a while, and Bai Shan was standing like a loose body. Although the atmosphere was a bit weird, he didn't seem to be affected.

  Zhou Man looked at this and that, and didn't say anything at all. With a slight smile, she picked up the cup and drank tea. She wanted to vomit out with just one mouthful.

  She barely swallowed, and after looking down, she realized that it was a cup of strong tea.

  She immediately put down the tea cup, feeling that the bitterness in her mouth faded a bit before looking at Guo Cishi, after looking at him for a moment, she asked: "Master Guo won't stay up all night, right?"

  Guo Shi sighed, "Can't sleep~~"

  The staff came in and nodded slightly to Guo Cishi through the crowd. Guo Cishi sighed again, pointed to a seat next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk."

   Then turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "No way, do you know who came to our Qingzhou City yesterday?"

   Before Zhou Man could answer him, he said: "His Royal Highness!"

   "A prince, a princess, and a horseman, brought the civil and military officials from the court to Qingzhou, Master Zhou, do you think I can sleep?"

   Zhou Man was taken aback and stared, "The princess and the horse? Is it the white two? Ahem, I mean, is it the princess Mingda and the white horse?"

  Bai Shan was also startled, and looked up at Guo Cishi in a daze.

  Guo Cishi quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Man’s name, with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "It is Princess Mingda and the white horse."

Zhou Man couldn't help but look at Bai Shan. Bai Shan also looked at her. The two of them silently looked at each other, pressing the joy in their hearts, and trying to sullen their faces and listen.

  Guo Cishi seemed to see their excitement, he coughed slightly, and after attracting their attention, he looked sad, "I don't know why your Royal Highness came straight to our Qingzhou?"

  He suspects that Bai Shan and Zhou Man recruited the people. After all, she did not mention Zhou Man. She was compiled by Chongwenguan. She has the channel and right to discount. Bai Shan, who saved it from the book, must also have a channel to contact Beijing.

  In fact, people are indeed recruited by Bai Shan.

  Bai Shan and Zhou Man looked at each other in the air, then Bai Shan bowed his head and said, "My lord, maybe it's for the salt field."

  Guo Cishi frowned and asked, “Your salt farms in Beihai County have existed for decades. Why did Your Highness suddenly become interested in this?”

  Bai Shan: "Perhaps it wasn't that I was suddenly interested in the salt farms in Beihai County. It was just because I needed to understand the official salt, so I came to see the salt farms?"

  Guo Cishi’s heart beats faster. Does this mean that the court is going to take action against Yanzheng?

  Nowadays, most of the salt in Dajin comes from Jiangnan. Although there are a lot of well salt and sea salt in various regions, it is Jiangnan that can provide large amounts to various places and pay a large amount of salt tax.

  And the salt tax and salt policy in Jiangnan...

  Even if Guo Cishi has never been to Jiangnan, he feels his scalp is numb just after thinking about it. I don’t know how much it is, and how many people’s interests are involved...

He swallowed, and wisely didn't ask any more, but said: "It's too early. Your Royal Highness and the others should have gotten up too. You used to be the prince's companion. You must know the prince's habits better. You are better off. Ask the prince how he is accustomed to living, and see what else needs to be purchased, and tell me that I can get someone to prepare."

  Bai Shan stood up to respond and looked at Zhou Man.

   Zhou Man also got up, bowed with him, and then stepped back.

As soon as    and others left, the two staff members who were in the same room said: "My lord, is the court going to take action on Jiangnan's salt tax?"

  Guo Cishi: "You ask me, who am I asking?"

  He stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Our majesty has a deep mind and can bend and stretch. Who knows what he is thinking at this time?"

   But no matter what he thought, he knew that Bai Shan came to Beihai County and was afraid that he would not just be a small magistrate.

  He just said, even if it was released, it wouldn’t be a magistrate of the next county, right?

  It turns out that the meaning of drunkard is not in wine.

  Guo Cishi thought for a while, and finally sighed, and said with a bit of heartache: "Return the coral tree and the silver money sent by the Song family."

"grown ups……"

  "Since Bai Shan has not returned to the county government, then this matter has never happened. You send someone to Beihai county government. Since Bai Shan has been sentenced, let's deal with it according to the law."

  The prince is here, it is better to be quiet at this moment.

  Thinking about it, he could only respond, but he was still a little skeptical, "My lord, the magistrate Bai did not receive the news, don’t you know anything about the county government?"

Guo Cishi hummed: "Regardless of whether he really doesn't know it or whether he doesn't know it, he found a reason, but he came to see me anxiously. knowledge."

  Furthermore, Bai Shan also gave him the news he wanted to know. He is no longer just his subordinates. They are more of a cooperative relationship. If this is the case, you can't look at him from the eyes of ordinary subordinates.

  　See you at six in the afternoon
