Bai Shan finally followed Zhou Man and saw Cui Wei, a middle-aged handsome man with very fair complexion. Unfortunately, his face was pale and haggard, which made him not look good.

Not to mention Zhou Man, who likes to look at faces, even Bai Shan couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked with concern: "Master Cui, are you okay?"

Cui Wei's official position was the same as General Nie's, lower than Zhou Man and higher than Bai Shan, but he had the same attitude towards the three of them. He just raised his eyes and glanced at them before saying coldly: "Nothing."

Zhou Man looked at his expression and sat on the chair beside the bed. Xi Cake immediately took out the pulse pillow and gave it to her.

Zhou Man felt Cui Wei's pulse, asked some questions, then looked at his troubled face and said: "Master Cui, you seem to be acclimatized."

Cui Wei didn't believe it, "As long as the carriage goes fast and bumps around, I will vomit."

Zhou Man asked him, "Do you vomit when you are near the capital?"

He said coldly: "I ride a horse in and out of the capital."

Knowing that he was carsick, why did he still think about taking a car?

Zhou Man was curious: "What if it rains?"

Cui Wei: "...there is a coir raincoat."

He stared at Zhou Man, asking her to hold back the rest of her words.

Zhou Man then said: "This is not just motion sickness, it is also caused by acclimatization. Of course, you may not have been acclimatized before, but this time there must be such a reason."

Zhou Man prescribed medicine for him, "Would you like me to give you two injections first? It will make you feel better."

Cui Wei hesitated for a moment and finally accepted her kindness.

Bai Shan was very generous to the talents who came to Beihai County, especially Cui Wei and General Nie. He spent money to rent two courtyards in the county for them to live.

Of course, there are not many opportunities for the two of them to live here, but if they rent it first, the rent is not expensive anyway.

However, the house was not ready yet, so they stayed at the inn for the time being. Zhou Man sent people back to the medical office to grab medicine and deliver it to Cui Wei for a set of acupuncture.

Although Cui Wei still doesn't feel well, he feels better than before, at least he won't vomit anymore.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Manbaishan: "I'm sorry."

The two of them naturally said it was okay.

Cui Wei fell ill just after arriving in Beihai County, but he was used to it, and it usually only took two or three days for him to recover.

So he did not move away, but lived in the inn to recuperate. Zhou Man went to see him every day.

General Nie took his 500 soldiers and Bai Shan to Dajiawa. He was shocked when he saw the salt fields for the first time, especially now that salt fields are being opened on both sides of Dajiawa.

The shining salt fields spread out one after another. A long-term worker walked around with a wooden shovel and shoveled the salt to the edge of the field. After heaping a pile of salt, he shoveled it into a basket and carried it out...

General Nie:......

He grabbed a handful of salt and couldn't help but taste it. After confirming that it was real salt, he made two noises and looked straight at the endless salt field. "Only five hundred of us can handle such a big salt field."

Can you hold it?"

Bai Shandao: "I still have a hundred troops stationed here."

He said: "You saw it when you came in. There is only one way to get to Jiajiawa. There is the sea on the other side and there are mountains that are difficult to cross, so just hold on to the intersection..."

General Nie reluctantly gained some confidence.

Bai Shan reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "So in addition to protecting the salt field, you also have to cultivate the fields."

General Nie looked around, looked around, and asked: "I see there is very little farmland here. Where should we farm?"

Bai Shan pointed to the salt field and said, "Let's build this field."

General Nie:......

Bai Shan comforted him and said, "Don't worry, it won't last long. I'm already looking for people. When I find enough people, you will be free to train troops."

General Nie looked at him suspiciously, "Don't lie to me."

"I'm not going to lie to you," Bai Shan said with a serious face: "There are also troops stationed in Qingzhou, and there are even a lot of them, but His Majesty and the Crown Prince specially transferred you from the capital. You should have guessed by now why.

?”

General Nie was not stupid, so he naturally guessed it. He asked with a serious face: "Someone will take action against the salt farm?"

Bai Shan nodded, "So I will definitely let you train troops. Don't worry, your people won't be occupied for a long time."

It's just that at this time, the Jiawa Salt Fields are not known to the real enemy. The top priority is to open up more salt fields and produce more salt.

But before they could open up salt fields to dry the salt, they had to build barracks.

Even an honest man like General Nie couldn't help but say: "Master Bai, you are just a white wolf with nothing to show for it."

"How can he be a white wolf with nothing?" Bai Shan pointed to the grain in a warehouse and said, "Did you see that I have prepared military rations a long time ago, and I will also send fresh vegetables, meat and eggs here every day."

Having to pay for the food and drink of an additional 500 soldiers would cost a lot of money. Not only the villages near Jiawa, but also the villages farther away became richer.

More than twenty days before the arrival, Bai Shan directly called the village chiefs a few miles away and asked them to spread the word and ask the villagers to diversify vegetables and raise more livestock such as chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. Then the county government meeting

Come forward and buy.

Now the number of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep will not increase immediately, but there will be a lot more vegetables.

It's enough to send two sheep or two pigs to everyone every day.

But to be honest, the cost is indeed much higher, so Bai Shan needs people even more.

He still has a large amount of official land on his hands, plus the land confiscated from Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village, and the land redeemed from the Song family. He now has no shortage of land for growing grain, vegetables, and raising livestock. He even has no shortage of land.

Money is lacking, but people are lacking.

So when he returned to the county office, he called Cui Yuan again, "How are things going?"

Cui Yuan: "...Are you in such a hurry now? Didn't you say you would quietly bring people here after the autumn harvest is over?"

Bai Shandao: "Now is the autumn harvest time, how many young men are you sure you can attract?"

He paused and then said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a young man or a young woman. The county can accept it if she brings her family with her."

It would be better if there were a widow and a young man alone.

Cui Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Don't worry, Sir, I will try my best."

He decided to go out and have a look tomorrow.

Bai Shan was very generous, "Bring some copper coins with you. If you don't have enough, ask me for more."

What Bai Shan was talking about was that two baskets full of copper plates were put on the car for Cui Yuan.

It was difficult for people from the county government to come forward to rob people, so Bai Shan gave money and Cui Yuan took the money and hired a few people.

After tying the bamboo basket containing the copper coins and placing it on the bullock cart, Cui Yuan and Bai Shan bowed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Bai Shan nodded and returned the gift. In fact, it didn't matter if he couldn't finish it. The worst he could do was sit down with Governor Guo and ask him for help. But Cui Yuan was so solemn, so naturally he could only return the gift and encourage others, not attack them.

? ?See you tomorrow
