Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 632 Returning to the County Office

After discussing with Rong Jin, Hua Lei temporarily allocated part of the rabbit wool spinning to the women in the village, and also allocated part of the weaving to them to appease their hearts.

However, this is only temporary, and we still need to find a long-term and stable livelihood for the villagers. After thinking hard for seven or eight days, Hualei still couldn't find a particularly good long-term solution.

So she decided to continue promoting rabbit farming. Rabbits reproduce quickly and make money quickly. So she talked to the villagers of Beiyi Village. Taking advantage of the spring season, she tried to collect as much wood and fodder as possible.

When they have free time, they make some grass fans and build some rabbit cages. In the second half of the year, when they have their own breeding rabbits, Hualei will rent them to them, giving the villagers of Beiyi Village hope.

However, before Hua Lei could implement her plan of renting breeding rabbits again, Liang Xiangyi's visit again allowed her to find a way out for the villagers of Beiyi Village.

Because of the order with the Ministry of Justice, Liang Xiangyi came here this time, in addition to delivering a batch of prison uniforms, the most important thing is that she is very short of manpower.

Originally, she had gathered a group of people in Leyang Prefecture to help make the clothes, but because it was spring, many people needed to go to the fields, so the speed of completing her orders was a bit delayed.

Although there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival when all the goods were to be delivered, she was worried that it might not be completed, so she came directly with a batch of fabrics.

She wanted to ask Hualei to help her get through this difficult time. Hualei heard that Beiyi Village had some manpower, so she went to the village chief and asked if he was willing to help make prison uniforms.

Of course the villagers were willing to do it as long as they could get paid, so Liang Xiangyi sent her fabrics to Beiyi Village and asked the villagers to help make clothes, and she paid the processing fees.

For the long-term development of Beiyi Village, Hualei suggested Liang Xiangyi to set up a fabric weaving point in Beiyi Village. Originally, Liang Xiangyi wanted to buy a shop, land, open a workshop and make a living in Xinzhou Prefecture.

If she set up a fabric weaving site in Beiyi Village, it would just be a matter of bringing her plan forward. Moreover, it was not a difficult task for her.

She and her husband are from Jiangnan family. Because of the saturation of the external market and the allocation of resources among brothers, they hope to expand outward.

Hualei's suggestion suddenly made Liang Xiangyi, who had no idea what to do, see the light. Competition around Jiangnan Prefecture was fierce.

The labor cost in Shangjing City is too high. There are not enough people in Leyang Prefecture. It is the best location to build a small fabric weaving point in Beiyi Village.

The woven fabrics can then be sold in shops in Mobei, and can also be sold to the new provincial capital.

Therefore, Liang Xiangyi and the village chief of Beiyi Village agreed on the details. Liang Xiangyi would provide the spinning wheel and raw materials, and the villagers of Beiyi Village would help with weaving. If needed, they could also make ready-made clothes.

As a result, Beiyi Village became a fabric textile village. Like several other villages in Mobei, it had a stable extra income and the villagers were very happy.

In June, Hua Lei, who had taken a break for almost a year due to childbirth, officially returned to the county government office and started working.

This year, the Ministry of Households has reclaimed more land, and the planting of rice and soybeans is also in full swing, so the Ministry of Households is a little short of staff.

Moreover, this year, many new immigrants came to Mobei one after another. Because they had to catch up with the planting season, Minister Zhang simply divided the locations of the villages for them.

After letting them choose their own residential plots, the house deeds and land titles had not yet been processed. So, what Hua Lei did when she returned to the county government was to issue house deeds and land titles for these new immigrants.

This time, a total of three villages were established, temporarily named Bei Er, Bei San, and Bei Si.

Hua Lei worked busy in the county government office for more than a month. After completing the house deeds and land deeds for the three villages, she began to divide the land and barren hills among these villagers and process the land deeds.

Minister Zhang also gave the task of distributing land to the villagers to Hualei, who started to work after receiving the task.

It is relatively simple to divide the fields. The local official Zhang Shilang has already marked them out, and the quantity and area are also marked.

When the land was divided in Beiyi Village, people chose their own homestead and land according to the order of arrival, so basically no one had any objections. But this time a new problem arose.

The three villages that have newly processed homestead deeds did not have deeds when they arrived, so they are applying for them now. So the first-come-first-served method is a bit confusing.

So the villagers were a little confused about how to divide the land. Everyone came from different places and lived together for a few months, but they didn't have much affection for each other.

The fields were located some near and some far away, some good and some bad. No matter who you were, you hoped that your family would be the first to be selected and be allocated the good fields close to home.

Here, whether it is an ox or a hand-pulled flatbed truck, they are both important assets for a family, and no one wants to live far away from home. After all, transportation is too inconvenient.

Therefore, there was a rush to get the land first. Hualei tried to persuade them in a gentle manner, but it was of no avail.

Looking at the noisy group of people in the village who were unwilling to give in, Hua Lei frowned.

Gao Tiedan, Xiao Yuanzi and others were dragged out, a few tables were moved to the center of the village, and they started writing notes.

Hualei decided to use the lottery method, letting each household in the village draw one from pre-marked pieces of paper to determine who is qualified to choose the field first.

Soon, the slips of paper for drawing lots were written, and the flower buds were placed in a black cloth bag, and the villagers began to draw lots.

Hualei thinks that she is doing things very fairly. However, there are always a few people who think they are different.

Jin Mancang looked at the note in his hand and was furious. You know, a few years ago, he was the son of the richest man in their county. He had been living a life of luxury since he was a child, and was protected by his parents as if they were their own apple of the eye. He also went to school for a few years.

He was always followed by a group of younger brothers, who served him well. Unfortunately, he had bad luck and lost most of his fortune in the gambling house.

The day the gambling thugs came to our house, they looted the valuables in our house and pushed my father to the ground. My father fell seriously ill and stayed in bed for more than half a year. We spent all our family property but still couldn't bring him back. A few months later, my mother also passed away.

The old servants in the house left one after another, and a good family was broken up. He was left with nothing, and because of his bad reputation, he could no longer stay in his hometown.
