Chapter 2977 birthday banquet

What the hell are you all about?

Master Song thought while holding the teacup in his hand, two people were constantly tugging and sawing in his heart, one said that he should not fight with his arms with his thighs; the other said that no matter who came, for Beihai County, the Longchi Salt Field was the only place to be. The important thing is that Bai Shan will not give up the salt field, so the Song family will still have a chance.

Just when the two sides were on the same page, Song Master hesitated for a while and said: "Uncle, I vaguely heard Dong Xianwei mention that His Royal Highness is going to send a group of soldiers to Beihai County, I don't know what it is, but those people are for It's for the county magistrate."

Master Song's expression changed slightly, and the balance in his heart suddenly fell to the other side.

He closed his eyes and said, "Last year was an eventful year, and I didn't celebrate my birthday very much. This year, I plan to hold a big one. The date is set for June 12. On that day, I will also invite the magistrate Bai, Lord Zhou, and the county government officials. Your honorable person will attend, I will write a few invitations to you in a while, and I will also ask you to pass it on to Bai County Magistrate on my behalf."

Master Song's birthday is in August, and it's early to June, isn't that too early?

However, Master Song did not express his opinion. After responding, he said, "Who else does my uncle invite?"

Master Song said, "I will invite anyone I can, but I don't know if the magistrate Lu and the governor of Qingzhou City will not be pleased."

Master Song understood that Master Song had to invite the county magistrate, obviously planning to take a step back.

Master Song responded, and finally took the five invitations he had written and left.

He first gave Dong Xianwei and Fang Xiancheng a letter, and then went to Bai Shan and presented the three envelopes, "...My uncle didn't dare to invite the princess and concubine rashly, so he asked the lower officials to invite them. Bring it, and ask the adults to hand over it, if the two nobles are interested that day, you can go to the Song family to sit down, and let the Song family do their best."

There is also an invitation for Zhou Man.

Zhou Man's official position is not small, so Master Song gave her a separate invitation to value her, but Bai Shan and Zhou Man felt that he wanted to charge them more as a gift.

Bai Shan accepted the invitation and brought it home only when he got home.

Zhou Man took Mingda to the hospital today and asked her to see her see a doctor. The two of them came back for lunch holding hands.

Bai Shan handed the two envelopes to them, and said, "The birthday banquet from Master Song, are you going?"

Zhou Man said without thinking, "Of course I will."

She asked, "Master Song is a local snake in Beihai County, isn't he? He is celebrating his birthday, will the chiefs and wealthy households come to participate?"

Bai Shan: "It should be possible."

Zhou Man turned his head and said to Ming Da: "Our opportunity has come, then we will have a talk with the women who come to the birthday banquet, and it will be effective. Sometimes as long as we persuade these rich women, we don't need to do more. What, the common people will learn their behavior."

Mingda was also a little excited, "Can I help?"

"Of course," Zhou Man said, "you are the princess, and what you say is more useful than me."

She said: "You don't have to ask them what to do, just tell them what the capital and palace are like, and they will rush to follow suit."

Bai Shan looked at the two back and forth and asked, "What are the capital and the imperial palace like?"

Mingda blushed slightly and said, "This is our woman's business."

Zhou Man, who was about to answer Bai Shan, swallowed his words, nodded and said, "Yes, don't ask, just do your own thing, yes, are you going to threaten Master Song? Do you want us to cooperate with you? acting?"

"...No need," Bai Shan refused. "It's enough for me to bring Captain Dong and Fang Xian."

He glanced outside and frowned slightly, "Why haven't Bai Er and Yin come back?"

A bodyguard came back and replied: "Bai County magistrate, the concubine asked me to come back and tell me that he and Yin Gongzi are eating outside and will not come back."

Bai Shan couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous. He waved his hand and waited for him to retreat before saying to Princess Mingda, "Since the princess has the heart to do good deeds in Beihai County, why not ask her concubine to join you?"

lest he have nothing to do all day.

Mingda responded with a smile, but did not refuse.

At this time, there are still nine days until June 12, and Bai Shan is still hiding everyone's affairs. After two days of hard work, Master Song still can't find any news.

On the contrary, Master Song vaguely heard some rumors from Qingzhou City, saying that the salt farm in Daweiwali produced a lot of salt, but it was not the traditional method of boiling salt.

No matter how much Mr. Song could inquire about, it wasn't that he couldn't inquire. As long as he was willing to pay, someone would still be willing to report in detail.

Even if there is a censor in Qingzhou City at this time.

But he was unwilling to ask Master Song to pay too much for such a news, so he always got some vague news.

During this period of time, the Qingzhou officialdom was completely wiped out, because most of the county magistrates in Qingzhou were newly appointed after the accident last year. They only took office for more than half a year, and they took office a few months earlier than Bai Shan. come over.

The prince suddenly brought the censor and Tang He to inspect, and they... were still a little excited.

Mistakes, they haven't had time to make them, and they don't want to make them, so they are quite happy that such a big boss came down to supervise the administration of officials at this time.

Tang He checked the previous cases in the counties, and most of them were fine, so he obeyed the prince's orders and checked the population situation of the counties by the way.

He directly said to the Prince, "It is impossible for His Highness to migrate people from other counties in Qingzhou into Beihai County, and there are not many of them."

The prince said with disgust: "Ludi's gentry is strong, and Qi and Wei are overcrowded. Why is Qingzhou so poor and so few people?"

Tang He didn't speak.

The prince rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, let's go to Laizhou tomorrow to have a look. Isn't Bai Shan trying to snatch merchants and ferry from Laizhou? Let's go and see the ferry in Laizhou."

Tang He responded.

Xia Yushi couldn't help but ask, "What about Ning Yushi?"

The prince said indifferently: "He is still watching the drying of salt in the Yanjiawa Salt Field. We will meet him after we finish watching Laizhou."

He said: "If Laizhou can be used, the more places to dry the salt, the better."

Xia Yushi thought about it too, and went to Laizhou with the Crown Prince Tang He.

At this time, Bai Shanzheng put on a new dress and asked Daji to bring the birthday gift they prepared to the Song family to celebrate his birthday.

After all, this is the first time that Bai Shan has appeared at such a grand banquet since he took office. The Dragon Boat Festival and the Fengfeng Banquet before have not been on such a scale.

Therefore, Bai Shan was also very concerned about this banquet, and deliberately put on a set of casual clothes that had just been made, and turned around to find Yin or as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.

Yin He was also ready, and when he saw him coming alone, he asked, "Where's Man Bao?"

Bai Shan said helplessly: "She ran to find the princess early in the morning. She is probably waiting for us on the street. Let's go."

Yin He asked Changshou to hold the gift box and said with a smile, "I wonder if Master Song will regret hosting the birthday banquet two months in advance after today."
