Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 450 Finding Fault with the Boss

Lord Mo acted quickly. In just seven or eight days, he and the professionals from the Water Bureau found several springs, and began to reclaim the basin near the entrance of the official road.

Manpower has also been pulled in from the prison, but because of the need to transplant rapeseed seedlings and other things this year, many people in the prison have been transferred away, and there are only about two hundred people available to open up the wasteland.

Although more than 200 people gathered together seemed like a lot, they were not enough to cut grass, dig ponds, and plow the land in a basin surrounded by more than 20 mountains.

In addition, Lord Mo has a very strange personality. On the one hand, he is very demanding. Even if the pioneers cut the weeds carelessly and uncleanly, he will not be satisfied and ask them to cut them again.

On the other hand, he was a rather greedy person and wanted to complete the reclaiming of all the basins within a month, so he divided the reclaiming workers into small groups and sent them to different basins.

In this case, there are only 20 to 30 people, or 40 to 50 people in the whole basin, so what can be done every day is not much visible to the naked eye. You say, 20 to 30 people digging a pond every day for a month may not be able to dig it well.

In addition, it is spring now, the weeds on the mountain are very lush, and the bushes are hidden in the weeds, which also increases the difficulty of land reclamation. So if we only look at one basin, the speed of land reclamation is too slow.

After two decades, the basin was still a basin, the weeds that had been cut were growing again, and only half of the pond had been dug. It seemed that Lord Mo's unchanging management method was indeed feasible and suitable for patrolling the mountains and forests, but it didn't seem to work for land reclamation.

It's not like we're going to inspect the basin, and twenty or thirty people can complete the task by walking through the basin. If the buds are not good, it may not be in time by October.

However, she was not qualified to go directly to Lord Mo to report the problem, otherwise, she would be disrespecting her immediate superior, Lord Yu.

So, Hualei found Mr. Yu and tactfully expressed her idea that she wanted to gather the more than 200 people scattered in eight or nine basins and divide them into two groups to open up two basins first. In one basin, 50 people would dig a pond and 50 people would cut weeds.

When Lord Yu heard this, he glanced at Hualei and thought, what's the matter? The emperor approved your proposal, and you really think you are so powerful that you dare to show off in the Silin Bureau? Are you looking for trouble with your boss?

You've only been here for a little over a month, and you're already giving orders. How can you be so showy in the future? Do you want to step on me? So, he snorted and picked up his teacup.

Hualei looked at it and felt helpless. Forget it, it's not her wasteland anyway. If she doesn't have time to plant rapeseed in the basin, it won't be her who suffers the loss. If Emperor Shengwu wants to blame her, it won't be her.

So, she really started to slack off. While slacking off, she found that slacking off was really fun! And there were many colleagues who slacked off.

Although they all seem to be very busy, there are several storybooks hidden under the files and in the drawers, some of which are even colored booklets.

Hua Lei happened to see a booklet that was accidentally dropped by her colleague, Deputy Envoy Dong, who was working at the next workstation. She flipped through it and found that it was quite explicit and specific.

This... Hua Lei wanted to say, this is fine to watch, but isn't it better to watch it at home? You can also practice while watching or something? However, when she thought of Yu Mushi's cold snort, Hua Lei shut her mouth obediently.

She continued to slack off. Of course, she didn't dare to read the colored pamphlets in the government office. So, she decided to sort out the things at home and on the farm.

In the past few years, Xiaoqun also got married, marrying the daughter of Uncle Miao from Huaying Village. Xiaoxiao also got married, her husband's family is the son of a grocery store in Qingyun Lane, and the bun shop in Qingyun Lane is less than two quarters of an hour away.

In order to prevent her husband's family from looking down on Xiaoxiao, Hualei also specially released Xiaoxiao's virginity, which made Aunt Song cry with joy and kneel in front of Hualei to express her loyalty.

Hua Lei didn't care about Aunt Song's show of loyalty, but Xiaoxiao was her playmate who grew up with her, and Aunt Song's family of three had always been loyal to her and Xiaoyuan, so she hoped that those who treated her well could also live well.

Mrs. Luo had another son. Brother Xile and Zhao Xiaohua already had a son and a daughter, so Hualei usually asked Aunt Fu to help take care of the grandchildren. The affairs of the house were now handed over to Qingcheng and Qingying.

Qingying and Qingcheng, who had been following him, fell in love with each other. Hualei arranged a marriage for them in the first half of last year. Qinglian fell in love with a guard named Gong in the mansion.

After learning more about him, Hua Lei felt that the other party had good skills and good character, so she arranged their marriage before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. However, after they got married, they still worked in the Hua residence, so there was no change.

As for the others, Hualei also said that as long as they were old enough and liked each other, she would not block their marriage and would prepare a betrothal gift and dowry for them. But they didn't need to do it secretly, so as not to spoil the atmosphere.

Therefore, Hua Lei, who has not yet married, has arranged marriages for many people over the years.

Wu Sansi and Xiao Yajie from the village already have a son and a daughter. The grandchildren of my great uncle have also found their place.

It’s very good, very good. Looking at the people around her who are all living well, Hualei feels very happy.

Several farms still keep the same old routine. In the first half of this year, Baihua Farm made more and more pepper, mushroom and minced meat sauce, and now made less pure pickled peppers and more for seasoning, which can increase the output a lot.

The yield of peaches and pears is good, which may be related to beekeeping. So in addition to the original canned fruits, Huabud has also added a lot of new methods.

In Yuanying Manor, the scale of breeding is quietly expanding, while the scale of planting is slowly shrinking. The fish raised in the rice fields have also yielded a lot. However, because of the fish ponds on the barren hills, the fish ponds in Yuanying Manor will not be expanded for the time being.

Tofu, fermented bean curd, and stewed food workshops are all still located in Yuanying Manor. Other workshops are generally moved to Huaying Manor.

The workshop on Huaying Manor, which used to be relatively empty, is now quite crowded. So the rouge and lipstick workshop, the flower buds were placed on Huaguo Mountain.

In addition, Hua Lei felt that there were too many outsiders coming to Huaying Manor, so she bought another large farm in a more remote place two years ago and simply named it "Wanhua Manor".
