Chapter 3066 Tired
Changshou looked at Yin Huo silently.
Yin Huo also looked at him silently.
Bai Shan and Chang Shou said, "Bring it here, it's not far away."
Yin Huo also knew how to ride a horse, but his horsemanship was average and he rarely rode.
Although he had not received specialized training, he often watched teachers teach students during riding and archery classes at the Imperial College and Chongwenguan, so he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge.
Moreover, he often rode his father's horse into the palace, and occasionally rode a horse himself when traveling west. Well, although most of the time he just ran slowly for a while, or Changshou led the horse for a slow walk, it is undeniable that he could ride a horse.
So he was a little unhappy about Changshou's disobedient behavior.
Changshou said: "Master, the wind is strong at the seaside, and it's cold now."
It will be even colder when riding a horse. What if you catch a cold?
Yin Huo was even more interested, "Riding a horse is more comfortable when the wind is strong."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang turned to look at him, feeling that his knowledge and hobbies were too special and very different from theirs.
But remembering that he seldom rode fast on his own, let alone in the wind, he decided not to argue with them about it.
Changshou had no choice but to bring a horse over for Yin Huo.
Yin Huo got on the horse, but he didn't run fast. He just strolled to find Lord Cui with Bai Shan and Bai Er.
Cui Wei was not at the pier under construction, but at the beach further ahead.
Bai Shan and the others went over and saw him squatting on the ground, holding a wooden board in his hand. There was a piece of white paper on the board, and he was writing and drawing on it with a pen.
Bai Shan dismounted and went over to him, without disturbing him. He also stopped and was about to call his attendant. He walked behind him and took a look at the drawing board, and was stunned.
This is not a dock, no, it should be said that it is not just a dock, but also includes the construction near the dock.
Although Bai Shan wanted to build something nearby, he never thought that he would have to trouble Cui Wei to design it, for fear that it would take up too much of his energy and affect the construction of the dock.
Bai Shan tilted his head and watched intently. Bai Erlang, who had been quietly feeling the sea breeze, saw that he had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help but come over to peek together.
Yin Huo also stepped forward.
The three of them stood behind and watched Cui Wei draw.
Cui Wei really didn't notice when there was only one person peeking, but when there were three people standing behind him, he could have noticed it even if he was paying close attention.
Cui Wei insisted on finishing the place he was going to paint, then he looked up and looked back at them.
When his eyes met those of the three, Bai Shan, who was standing in the middle, smiled instantly. He took a step back and bowed, "Master Cui, thank you for your hard work."
Yin Huo and Bai Erlang also stepped back and saluted, greeting, "Master Cui."
Cui Wei wanted to stand up and return the greeting, but he found that he might have been squatting for too long, his feet were numb, and it hurt so much when he moved. He just lifted his feet up a bit and couldn't move anymore.
Bai Shan had a sharp eye. When he staggered, he stepped forward to support him and said with concern, "Master Cui, please take care of yourself."
Lord Cui held Bai Shan's hand and slowly stood up. Not only were his feet numb and painful, but there was also some double vision in front of his eyes, and even the person himself became blurry.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Bai Shan couldn't help but look at his face carefully. Yin Huo knew at a glance that he was dizzy, so he said, "Give him some sour plum juice?" He remembered that last time in the medical office, when someone was staggering and about to faint, Zhou Man gave him sour plum soup.
Bai Erlang: "...He's not suffering from heatstroke, is he? Would drinking sour plum juice help? And where can I find sour plum soup for him right now?"
Yin Huo: "Then have some sugar water, or salt water?"
Bai Shan turned around and called the guard to bring the cloth bag hanging on Dao Li.
The guards immediately brought the cloth bag, and Lord Cui's attendant and Bai Shan helped the man to the side. Yin Huo took off his cloak and let Bai Erlang spread it on the ground.
Bai Shan helped Lord Cui sit down, took the cloth bag and rummaged through it, quickly finding a bottle. He took a look at the words written on it, and after confirming that he had taken the right one, he poured out a pill and stuffed it into Lord Cui's mouth.
The attendant anxiously opened the water bag and was about to feed Master Cui some water, but Bai Shan stopped him and said, "This medicine is to be taken orally."
The medicine began to dissolve as soon as it entered his mouth. Lord Cui swallowed his saliva. It tasted sweet, with a hint of medicine, and a coolness in the sweetness. He felt a little more alert. When he looked up at Bai Shan and the others, although the figures were still a little blurry, at least they were no longer shaking, and he could see the people clearly.
Lord Cui said slowly, "I'm sorry for my rudeness. I beg your forgiveness, Lord Consort and Lord Bai, Master Yin."
The three of them quickly said it was okay.
They sat together on the cloak waiting for Master Cui to recover. When Bai Shan saw that he was about to speak, he hurriedly said, "Please don't speak for now, and don't think about other things. Just empty your mind and rest."
He said, "You're overworked. By the way, have you had lunch?"
After asking, he went to see the attendant, who immediately said, "I ate, but not much."
The chief attendant took the opportunity to complain, "Our master can't get used to the food in Qingzhou."
Bai Shan sighed when he heard it, "I didn't think it through. I'll find a chef from the capital or Qinghe later."
He asked with concern, "Is there any tea in the afternoon?"
Long attendant: "No."
Bai Shan sighed again, "No wonder Lord Cui looked so haggard when I saw him today."
Cui Wei dissolved the medicine in his mouth and recovered. He asked, "Master Bai, are you here to check on the progress of the project?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Send some servants over as well."
Cui Wei really needed help right now, and he was about to stand up when he heard that. "Then let's go take a look."
Bai Shan immediately reached out to support him and said with a smile, "They are just laborers doing rough work. There are no useful craftsmen among them."
Cui Wei sighed, "Master Bai still hasn't found a useful craftsman?"
Bai Shan also sighed. He had found all the craftsmen he could find in Beihai County, and he also went to ask Governor Guo for a lot of craftsmen that could be mobilized in the Governor's office. Even County Magistrate Lu lent him some people because they were allies, but it was still not enough.
Bai Shan said, "I have written to the Ministry of Industry, but there has been no reply yet."
Cui Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then asked, "How long has it been since you sent the letter, sir?"
Bai Shan: "More than a month."
Cui Wei said, "Then keep waiting. Maybe you'll get a reply next year."
Bai Shan: ...
Bai Shan changed the topic to the dock. "I see the dock is already in its initial form. Maybe it will be used next year?"
Cui Wei said: "It is no problem to receive and launch small and medium-sized ships, but it is not possible to launch large ones, and the number of ships that can be received and launched is also limited."
What Bai Shanhe is most worried about now is the transportation of official salt, so as long as small and medium-sized sea vessels can leave from here, he will not consider other things for the time being.
But construction outside the docks...
"I see that Mr. Cui also designed the construction of nearby houses."
Cui Wei said: "There is a pier. When the ships come, there will be merchants and temporary workers. There will definitely be a big market nearby. Doesn't your Excellency plan to build a town nearby?" The prince consort and the princess both built their villas here. He is not blind or stupid.
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed going to be built, but I don't plan to do it myself."
See you tomorrow
