Chapter 3018: Snatching People
Bai Shan was slapped hard and pushed General Nie away, saying, "This is a good opportunity to make achievements. Besides, your boss's son is here too. Your achievements here will not be buried."
General Nie looked around and asked, "Is Master Yin here too?"
Bai Shan said, "He's not in the county government office right now. He's out asking for advice. But it's autumn harvest time now, and the Taoist priest is going to the fields to harvest rice. He should be back soon."
General Nie, "Ask?"
"Yes, the county town is boring. It's a rare opportunity to go out, so naturally I want to see the mountains and rivers outside. By the way, I want to visit the Taoist temples in the mountains. Isn't it wonderful?"
If he were not the county magistrate, he would have gone there too. Besides, it would definitely be cooler in the mountains and forests than in the city, which would be a good place to escape the summer heat.
General Nie: ...
What Bai Shan was most concerned about was the carriage in General Nie's team. What was so good about General Nie? Everyone was familiar with him. Hadn't they seen all kinds of things in him when they traveled west?
So he quickly appeased General Nie and walked towards the carriage with shining eyes, "Is that Lord Cui from the Ministry of Works in the carriage?"
Cui Wei responded but did not get out of the car.
Bai Shan was a little confused and was about to speak when General Nie patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Where is the post station? Let's sit down and rest for a while. We can talk after we eat."
Bai Shan collected his thoughts, smiled and responded, then turned to the yamen runner and said, "Go tell Lord Zhou that I'm taking the generals and the lord to the post station. Tell her to eat first and not wait for me."
General Nie felt a lump in his teeth. Why were Mr. Bai and Lord Zhou still so sticky? Oh, now it was Lord Bai.
Because the prince attached great importance to the Dadawa Salt Field, he asked for a huge sum of money and directly asked the emperor for a thousand people.
Of course he knew that the emperor would not agree, so he let the emperor cut the number to 500. In addition to 200 people who were General Nie's confidants, the other 300 people were selected from other military camps in the capital.
Of course, it is impossible that they are all single old soldiers as the prince said. Instead, they are all soldiers with good abilities. Of course, most of them are also single.
Their mission is to protect the salt fields, and those who come are considered elite soldiers.
General Nie only brought a dozen people into the city, and the rest were stationed outside the city. He was not here to fight, so there was no need to bring people into the city and cause trouble for Bai Shan.
General Nie glanced at the post station in Beihai County and shook his head, saying, "Your post station in Beihai County is like a post station in the desert. It's too small."
Bai Shan did not deny this. He said, "We'll build it after a while."
General Nie was very skeptical. "Does your county government have money? By the way, although our military pay is allocated by the Ministry of War, it will not be enough for the time being. Your county government will be responsible for the food and fodder."
He said, "I have brought my men with me. You can't let the soldiers go hungry."
Bai Shan said, "Don't worry." He lacks everything now, except money.
As he was speaking, the sound of vomiting in the backyard became louder. Bai Shan paused for a moment, feeling somewhat reluctant. He turned to ask General Nie, "Did Lord Cui come all the way here like this?"
General Nie also had a sympathetic look on his face. "The higher-ups were pressing us, and the orders were urgent, so I couldn't help but walk a little faster on the way. Actually, Lord Cui is quite a good horseman, and he doesn't get dizzy when riding. It's just that being in the sun can easily cause heatstroke."
Between heatstroke and motion sickness, General Nie decisively chose to make Lord Cui motion sick. After all, he would just vomit when he got off the car.
Bai Shan frowned slightly, "Really don't need to see a doctor?"
"No need. Lord Cui and the people who serve him have said that this is a common occurrence. It will be fine after vomiting. What else can happen now that we are already here?"
"Let's take a look." This Lord Cui was invited by the master with great effort, and he also asked the prince to transfer him here. He is very precious and nothing can happen to him.
Bai Shan called the yamen runners and said, "Go back and ask Lord Zhou, no, ask Lord Wen to come over."
Manbao hasn't had any morning sickness yet, but he doesn't dare show her anything disgusting. What if she sees someone vomiting and starts vomiting herself?
But it was Zhou Man who came.
Xibing was carrying the medicine box. The yamen runner smiled at Bai Shan ingratiatingly, "Master Wen is not in the medical office. He went to get the medicine, so..."
Zhou Man asked, "Where is Lord Cui?"
Bai Shan pointed to the backyard and temporarily stopped her, "Wait until Master Cui has finished washing up before you go and see him."
He would rather endure and not get out of the car to see him. Obviously he still cares about his reputation. If Zhou Man goes to see him now, not only will Zhou Man feel uncomfortable, but Lord Cui will probably not be happy either.
Zhou Man was waiting downstairs. Lord Cui knew Zhou Man was going to see him, so he stood up with a pale face. After rinsing his mouth and suppressing the nausea, he told his attendant, "Go get some hot water. I need to wash up."
"Master, what are you doing now?"
"Just go if you're told to."
The long-time attendant was helpless, knowing that the master's face-consciousness had come back again, so he could only help him back to the guest room first, then asked the people from the post station to bring up hot water, and helped him bathe and change clothes before he went downstairs to call for help.
Zhou Man and others had finished exchanging greetings with General Nie below.
In fact, General Nie didn't know why he was sent to Qingzhou. The order they received was to obey Bai Shan after arriving in Qingzhou.
But he suspected that they were here to build a ferry, because Cui Wei came here to build a pier ferry.
So when the three of them were sitting downstairs reminiscing about the past, he asked, "If you build a pier, will anyone dare to destroy it? Let me be frank: I won't build a pier."
Bai Shan: "Just know how to farm."
This will work, but...
General Nie looked at him suspiciously, "Are we here to cultivate the land?"
This made him a little scared.
Bai Shan smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "I will take you to see it myself tomorrow."
General Nie tutted his words, then turned to look at Zhou Man with a smile. "Sir Zhou, we have so many soldiers stationed in Beihai County. I wonder if the Medical Department will send a military doctor?"
This year, a group of students graduated from the Imperial Medical Bureau, including Wen Tiandong. After the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Medical Bureau and local medical bureaus had selected candidates, generals who had experienced the Eastern Expedition began to write petitions to recruit them.
After a round of bargaining, there were not many generals who could capture the person.
Although Zhou Man was in Qingzhou, Xiao Yuanzheng and Liu Taiyi would also write to her to tell her these things, not to mention that Zhou Liru was there too.
She looked at General Nie silently and said, "There are only two doctors in the Qingzhou Medical Department right now. Do you think it's possible?"
General Nie couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you hire a few more doctors?"
Zhou Man sighed and said, "Didn't you go to the county government office? The recruitment notice on the notice board in front of the county government office has faded, but no one has come to apply. What can I do?"
There are not many doctors in Qingzhou. I don’t know whether it’s because the medical bureau doesn’t pay enough or the doctors are too timid, but no one comes to apply.
See you at 10:30 pm
