Chapter 2982 concession

After Mrs. Song left, Master Song thought for a while, but did not turn back to the study, but turned to the next yard, and then summoned a servant: "Find an excuse to go to the study and invite Master Song to the study."

"Yes."

Master Song came over at a loss, and did not understand why Master Song left Magistrate Bai and ran to the next door to have a private meeting with him at this time. No, it was a private opinion.

Master Song didn't want to be right with Bai Shan at this time, and felt that it was not good to hang people in the study for too long, so he reminded: "Uncle, it is not good to let Bai County Magistrate and the others wait there for a long time?"

Master Song raised his head to look at him, "You are quite considerate of Magistrate Bai."

Master Song frowned slightly, intuition that these words were a bit unpleasant, but he couldn't say anything weird, so he could only look at Master Song with a pair of confused eyes.

Master Song lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. He slowly put down the teacup before asking, "Sanlang, we are a family. You heard what the Magistrate Bai said just now. What he wants now is not the salt field. It's our Song family's farmland, so you give your uncle the bottom line, what is the situation in the salt field over there?"

Master Song was refreshed, thinking of the news he had only heard by chance not long ago, he couldn't help lowering his voice: "I heard that the county magistrate has obtained a new method for making salt, which can be obtained without cooking salt or firewood. Sea salt, and the output is not low, now the salt stocked by everyone there is enough for the governor's office, and there is even excess."

Master Song clenched the teacup in his hand and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Master Song frowned, "I only found out this morning, uncle, that Magistrate Bai is different from Magistrate Lu. Behind him is the Crown Prince, so we should not confront him. I heard that he plans to close the office. Longchi Salt Field, and build a ferry over there."

"The person we arranged in the salt field is completely useless. If we are against him..." He paused and said, "It seems that we can't be against him anymore. If he shuts down the Longchi salt field, we will not be able to. Are you still cooking salt?"

Without the endorsement of the county government, it would be illicit salt, and it would be a serious crime of looting a family and exterminating a family.

The Song family in Beihai County did not have such skills, so they could hide a lot of cooking salt without permission, and Bai Shan himself was not blind.

Master Song looked at Master Song steadily, and saw Master Song felt uncomfortable. He moved his body to avoid Master Song's gaze and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Master Song looked at him for a long time, and finally pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile, "It's nothing, Magistrate Bai is really powerful, and he can hold his breath. He has such a good thing in his hand and is willing to take it out now."

What is even more powerful is that he can still invite the prince to support him. If it hadn't been for the presence of the nobles in the capital, even if he had a new salt-making method in his hand, Master Song could throw money at Qingzhou City, even if he couldn't make peace with him. Bai Shan fights against each other, at least he won't be killed like he is now.

Even his own nephew betrayed him.

Master Song stared at Song Master Bookkeeper and said: "Sanlang, you were pushed to the position of Master Bookkeeper by our Song family with great effort, no matter when you arrive, you must remember that you are from the Song family. !"

"What did my uncle say, I naturally won't forget my surname. Do you still doubt that I can forget my ancestors?"

Master Song laughed loudly, got up, walked over to him and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, I don't mean it, it's just that I passed my birthday today, and I saw the young and promising magistrate Bai, and I felt emotional for a while. Forget it, I don't know when my Song family will be able to produce such a character."

That's difficult, Bai Shan is still a son of a family, and their Song family has not even touched the edge of other people's family background.

Master Song lowered his eyes and thought about it, Master Song had already withdrawn his hand, put his hand behind him, and put away the smile on his face, "Let's go, let's meet our magistrate Bai."

Bai Shan and Fang Xiancheng were drinking tea in the study, and he was in no hurry about the master disappearing for so long.

Fang Xiancheng was a little uneasy, so he walked to the door and looked out, then looked back at Bai Shan, "Sir, will the concubine and Yin Gongzi be in a hurry ahead?"

Bai Shan just looked up and said, "Don't worry, you won't be in a hurry. After a whole day, where are you going?"

It was said to be a whole day, but who came to celebrate the birthday and left after a whole day?

Don't most of them leave after one meal?

It's been so long since noon...

Fang Xiancheng was a little restless, and Master Song came back with Song Master.

This time, Master Song was much more straightforward, smiled and said to Bai Shan, "I understand what the county magistrate means. What you said is that, as a native of Beihai County, Beihai County has needs, and the Song family will do everything they can."

When Bai Shan heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Master Song is righteous, and the people of Beihai County will remember the contributions made by the Song family and Master Song. But don't worry, His Majesty and the court have regulations. The court, local yamen and gentry There are official documents for the redemption of land, and this county will not be wronged by the Song family and Master Song, how about paying the market price for the land purchased?"

Master Song twitched the corners of his mouth.

It is said that it is based on the market price, but the market price is not fixed. Beihai County is poor, the land is relatively stable, and it is rarely circulated.

Not to mention the vast fields like the Song family.

The reason why their family can have this scale is that they bought a lot of wasteland for reclamation when the previous two magistrates were there.

Badlands are not the same as open fields.

Open land is land that has never been cultivated, and waste land is land that was cultivated before, but was later abandoned because it lost its owner, and is generally taken back by the county government.

But most of the reclaimed land will still be handed over to the Lizheng and villages under their jurisdiction, and they will be divided up when they have a male adult.

In Qili Village, the wasteland that Shirou and the others shared was like this.

Qili Village has experienced disasters in the past, and many people have died. In addition to the wasteland that was thrown away in the previous war, some wasteland looked like open fields, full of weeds.

After Shizuolang and others become adults, the village will organize wasteland reclamation and distribute the wasteland to them.

However, many of the wasteland in Beihai County are occupied by some relatively big surnames, such as Song family and Zhao family. The people of the villages can only go to divide the wasteland that is not very good, or even reclaim the open field that has never been cultivated.

He wants to migrate people from other places, and promises to give people land. The land that he takes out must be able to grow food. It's too bad, not to mention cheating people. What if people who come here turn around and leave when they see the land. manage?

So he needs a lot of fields.

I originally wanted to update the two chapters together, but I found that the difference seems to be a bit too much, so let's see you at ten o'clock
