Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Finally put Bai Jingxing's little friend to sleep, Bai Shan took Zhou Man's hand back to the house and peeked at her along the way.

Zhou Man pinched him, "What are you looking at secretly?"

Bai Shan grabbed her hand, held it firmly in his palm, and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to have another child?"

Zhou Man's cheeks were slightly red, and after being silent for a while, he whispered, "I haven't been very busy lately."

Bai Shan understood, pulled her and hurried back to the room.

Zhou Man's face turned redder and he pulled him and asked, "Aren't you going to plan with Inspector Liu to suppress the bandits?"

Bai Shan: "Don't delay."

Inspector Liu had a navy in his hands, many soldiers, horses, and warships. He had long been disliked by the bandits at sea, especially his son escorted Guan Yan for the Yan Yun Division. Pirates wandering from the side.

After becoming the prefect of Qingzhou, the merchant ships entering and leaving the Longchi Wharf would occasionally be harassed because of the pirates. This was even more intolerable under his rule.

So Bai Shan spoke to him on behalf of Tang He, and he immediately agreed.

Tang He helped him link the governors of Pingzhou and Dengzhou, and applied to the court to jointly suppress the bandits, while the governor of Liu promised to capture the group of pirates who cooperated with Laizhou and abroad and hand them over to him.

Things went fairly smoothly, when Bai Jingxing finally came out of his grief and had temporarily forgotten about Bai Ruoyu, Bai Shan came back from the sea exhausted and said with bright eyes, "We won, the bandits in Pingzhou and Dengzhou area. The bandits were destroyed and dispersed, and the Baekje bandits and Japanese bandits who were nesting in the islands at sea were also dispersed.”

At this time, it was late at night, Zhou Man was awakened, and was sitting on the bed looking at him dumbfounded. Seeing that he was talking nonstop, he reached out and pinched his face.

The hand feels very real, "It's a real person."

Bai Shan stopped talking, "...Of course it's a real person."

He got up in a hurry, pressed her into the quilt, and covered her with the quilt, "It's my fault, I'm too excited, you continue to sleep."

Zhou Man couldn't sleep, she woke up completely, and was about to pull Bai Shan to ask for details, but he had already run to take a shower and wash his hair.

During this period of time, he stayed in Longchi and went to sea. It was normal for him not to take a bath for ten days and a half months while on the boat. At this time, he was all dirty.

When he walked into the room with wet hair, he saw Zhou Man sitting cross-legged on the couch in the outer room.

He instantly stood up straight and walked in, "Awake?"

Zhou Man nodded, picked up a large towel, and beckoned, "Come here and wipe your hair for you."

Bai Shan stepped forward and sat directly on the foot.

Zhou Man felt that the sky was a little cold, so he handed him a cushion and then wiped his hair, "Have you caught the person Tang Xuexiong wants?"

"Well," Bai Shan said, "the people have been sent to Laizhou, do you know where they stole the salt and sold it?"

"where?"

Bai Shan said, "Baekje, Silla, and Liaodong."

Zhou Man was taken aback, "Didn't the salt in Liaodong come from here?"

Bai Shan shook his head, "The salt transportation department of the imperial court can't control that side now, the salt over there is self-sufficient now, and the price of salt is even higher than before the reform of the salt administration, fluctuating around one hundred and twenty cents. Jee and Shilla are about the same price.”

Although their coins are different, the value of the item can be known by converting it.

Transactions between the two countries are generally made in gold and silver, which is not difficult to convert.

Zhou Man: "They dare to smuggle salt into Fanbang, they are really bold."

Bai Shan nodded, "It's very big. Originally, they had the idea of ​​moisturizing things silently. Every time they transported a part of the salt directly from the salt field, and lost some of it during transportation, and sent it to the sea every month through a merchant ship that went out to sea. Kou delivers."

"The pirates sent the salt to various places to sell it privately, and the money was divided between the two parties. It was considered a perfect cooperation," Bai Shan said. "But the governor of Laizhou noticed the abnormality and began to make people stare at the salt field and the salt transportation department."

"The Laizhou Salt Works was presided over by the Laizhou Prefect from the very beginning. Even if the Salt Transport Division took over, he still had his own staff in it. When he noticed something was wrong, he sent people to guard it. As a result, they failed to transport the illicit salt for three consecutive months. The buyers were in a hurry, and they scuttled the official ship carrying official salt as soon as they lost their heads."

"There is also a waterproof tarpaulin bag inside the salt bag. If it is tied tightly, it will be waterproof even if it falls into the sea. After the event, as soon as people leave, they will find someone with good water to dive down and tie the salt bag to pull it up."

Zhou Man was amazed, "For the money, they are so thoughtful, they do everything they can."

She was puzzled, "You're all so smart, isn't it bad to use it on the right path? Isn't the money you earn on the right path good?"

Bai Shan thought for a while and then said, "There's less money coming up on the right path."

Zhou Man shook his head, "It takes more effort to commit a crime, and it's still frightening, plus the consequences of breaking the law, it's not worth the loss."

"Putting these ingenuity on the right path can also make a lot of money. Money is enough, so why bother with it?"

Bai Shan looked back at her with a smile, reached out and touched her cheek and said, "That's because your heart is right and easy to satisfy, but in this world, the hardest thing to satisfy is greed."

Zhou Man stretched out his hand and pushed his head back, let him sit upright, and continued to wipe his hair, "Take the pirates, and Xuexiong Tang's case is over, right? I don't know if he wants to live in Beihai County. For a while?"

Bai Shandao: "Ask him back, but he has already come to inspect once. If he comes again, it will either appear that he is lazy or that there is something wrong with me in Beihai County."

Zhou Manyi thought about it too. His identity was there, and although he could choose where to inspect, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.

Zhou Man dried his hair, touched his long smooth hair, became happy, turned around and crawled over to get a comb, eager to brush his hair.

As soon as Bai Shan grabbed her hand, the tips of his ears turned red, "I'll do it myself."

"No, I'll help you comb."

Bai Shan squeezed her hand and emphasized, "I'll just do it myself."

"You've combed it for me, but I haven't combed it for you yet." He raised his hand and reached out to his head.

Bai Shan hurriedly grabbed her hand and blushed, "No, I'll do it myself!"

Zhou Man looked at him quietly.

Bai Shan's neck turned red. He was already white, and the redness was particularly conspicuous. Zhou Man glanced at him up and down, thinking, "So you're shy~"

Bai Shan looked at her silently, let go of his hand after a while, and sat back on the foot again, looking like he was letting you go.

Zhou Man was instantly happy, touched his hair and combed it finely.

The tips of Bai Shan's ears were all red.

Xibing yawned and went back to the house, and said to Jiuyue, who looked sleepy, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Jiuyue tried her best to open her eyes, "The master and the lady haven't slept yet."

Xibing sat down on the bed with her, and said after a long time, "Let's go to sleep first, the master and the lady don't like us to serve in front of you, so they shouldn't call anyone tonight."

When there was no movement in September, Xibing turned her head to look at her, and saw that she had fallen asleep with her head lowered. She reached out and poked her head, and she turned to the other side and fell onto the bed with a snap.

Xibing yawned and fell on the other side of the bed.
