Chapter 344 Rong Jin Money Laundering

Even though this operation took less than half an hour, Pei Rongjin successfully laundered the capital contributed by the old Marquis Pei and turned it into his own capital. Even if the other families in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had objections, they could not get any evidence.

Even if the other families found an excuse that Lord Pei's money was from the public treasury and wanted to put the wool sweater business into the public treasury, as long as Pei Rongjin returned the banknotes to Lord Pei, the other families would have no excuse to get involved in the wool sweater business.

Not to mention that Pei Rongjin was the eldest son and grandson of the Zhenbei Marquisate, and he got the most, so he didn't have this worry at all.

Alas, why didn’t I think of it at the beginning? If I had done this at that time, I wouldn’t have such troubles now. Bai Yunhe regretted it deeply.

However, what Bai Yunhe did not expect was that Pei Rongjin did this not in order to launder Lord Pei's capital into his own capital.

He was worried that once this business was brought into the public domain, people from other families, as well as relatives and in-laws of the Marquis' Mansion, might then go to Hua Lei to ask for benefits.

Today I went to ask Hua Meime for a few wool sweaters to give as favors. Tomorrow I went to Hua Meime to ask for a few rolls of wool yarn to knit my own sweaters. The day after tomorrow I went to Hua Meime again to ask for custom-made things.

There are so many people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, including relatives and in-laws. Even if Hua Lei is willing to give it for the sake of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it will still be very troublesome.

So Rong Jin did this directly and eliminated all the hidden dangers that might be brought to Hualei in the future.

In addition, he was the eldest among the grandchildren in the Marquis's Mansion, so his younger brothers and sisters dared not disobey him. Even though Rong Yu, from the eldest son's house, was only a few months younger than him, he was still obedient in front of Rong Jin and dared not say a word.

In addition, the third branch of the Gu family is now in charge of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and they have good means. Therefore, neither the relatives nor the in-laws of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion have ever looked for Sister Hua, and Sister Hua has not been troubled by it.

Bai Yunhe certainly didn't know Pei Rongjin's inner thoughts. Now he was sitting in his seat, his mind was in turmoil.

My grandfather said that if he married Miss Hua, the sisters-in-law would have a hard time getting along with each other. I didn't care at the time, but now it seems that this is a foregone conclusion.

His sisters-in-law were indeed difficult to get along with. As for his mother, Bai Yunhe felt that, from the looks of it now, although she would not embarrass Miss Hua, she would not defend her either.

In addition, the eldest sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingxi Marquis's mansion, so no matter what, my mother will be biased towards her. And the third sister-in-law is my mother's niece, so my mother will definitely protect her.

If I marry Miss Hua, her situation will not be very good. Although Miss Hua is smart, isn't there a saying that goes, it's easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark?

Miss Hua might not be able to defend herself against the weird behavior of her sisters-in-law, right? And she really couldn't protect her in the backyard every day. Bai Yunhe's heart gradually sank.

If Hua Lei knew, she would know why she felt that Bai Yunhe was a little different from before at the beginning. The change in his external clothing was one aspect.

What's more, Bai Yunhe is no longer as reckless as before. He thinks much more now than before, and because he is under much more pressure, his mood has changed a lot.

Hua Lei didn't know about Bai Yunhe's inner twists and turns. She was very happy now. After getting the most important human and material resources, she returned to her own farm with peace of mind.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this acquaintance is easy to do things with, whether in the past life or here, he is very popular. Look, today I picked up two big bargains.

After returning to her house, Hua Lei went back to the study. Now that the manpower and material resources had been solved, the most important thing was to figure out how to rationally utilize the original water sources in the barren mountain and where to dig a pond.

Hualei thought for a long time and decided to find the spring first, dig a pond, and then divert the water source depending on the specific situation.

In order to solve this problem, Hua Lei read a lot of books, visited the barren mountains several times, and then asked local experienced hunters and colleagues from the Agriculture Bureau who had professional knowledge of water conservancy to help find springs in the mountains. It took less than ten days, and finally found several springs on the hillsides of several mountains.

Of course, Hualei also gave a big gift to the hunter and his colleagues from the Ministry of Agriculture afterwards. It is the most basic courtesy not to let others work for nothing. This is Hualei's principle. Otherwise, if you have to trouble others next time, you may not be able to find them.

After finding the spring, Hualei decided to adapt to local conditions and use the spring to dig several large ponds to store water. This way, there is no need to worry about lack of water for irrigation during droughts.

A mark was made at the spring, and Huabud combined with the surrounding terrain to roughly determine the size of the pond.

However, most of these springs are located halfway up the mountain. It may be possible to irrigate the lower part, but the upper part has not been solved yet. Therefore, Hualei also plans to dig a large pond on the top of several mountaintops to store rainwater, snow water, etc. Therefore, digging a pond is the first step to open up the wasteland.

In order to make the ponds more useful, Hualei has even considered how to dig the ponds. Hualei decided to dig all the ponds into three-tiered ponds, and the size of the ponds will be determined by the specific springs.

The pond is divided into three connected pools, high, medium and low. The shallowest pool is about half a zhang deep, and the deepest one is the smallest and about ten zhang deep.

The depth of the middle area with the largest area is between the two pools. According to the conversion method of the previous life, it is about two to two and a half meters deep.

Then the three pools were separated by a dam, but a one-meter-wide passage was opened on the dam to connect the three pools, and two thick wooden boards were installed in the passage. In this way, the water depth of each pool can be adjusted at any time.

After determining the first step of land reclamation, the next thing to solve is the daily diet problem of the pioneers.

Providing breakfast and dinner for these pioneers is actually a big project, after all, the number of people there is every day.

Fortunately, I don’t need to provide bowls, chopsticks and spoons, which saves me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it would be a tedious task to prepare tableware for four or five hundred people. I also don’t need to ask someone to wash the bowls and chopsticks, which is much simpler.

But for other things, Hualei also had to make a lot of preparations in advance. Before this, Hualei also asked Wen Daren, who was in charge of the prison, that the standard of meals in the prison was generally a bowl of porridge and a black-faced steamed bun for each meal, two meals a day, which was very poor.
