Chapter 250 Lord Bai Delivers a Message

Then the small door on the wall between No. 4 and No. 5 was locked, so that the two rows of houses became independent courtyards. The privacy is very good, and when delivering semi-finished products, just open the small door on the wall, which is very convenient.

Because the soap set has many molds and takes a long time to dry, it also requires a large space, so Hualei placed them separately in Room 3. There are seven rooms in total, which should be enough for them to place and dry. A separate row of rooms does not interfere with other courtyards.

In addition, Hualei also moved the toothbrush set from Baihuazhuang. Because Baihuazhuang needed to make canned fruit and pickled peppers, the warehouse needed to store various jars of pickled peppers, which was already a bit crowded. And sometimes when the wind was strong, bamboo shavings and pig bristles would fly everywhere, affecting the quality of canned fruit and pickled peppers.

So this time she just moved the toothbrush set out. Thinking that she had to receive toothbrush handles delivered by villagers every ten days, Hua Lei placed the toothbrush set in Room 1 in the first row.

In this way, the food will be received directly at the gate, and the villagers outside will not be able to enter the houses at the back, which will not affect the people working in the back yard. The other rows of houses are temporarily empty and no arrangements have been made.

Hua Lei was busy with both her hands and her brain. When she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, she would go to Old Madam Pei to ask for advice and solutions. At this time, Hua Lei was sitting in Songhe Hall, telling Old Madam Pei the message that Lord Bai had asked Butler Bai to pass on yesterday.

After listening to this, Madam Pei frowned and asked Hua Lei, "Lei'er, what do you think?"

Hua Lei had been thinking about this matter since she received the message. She organized her words a little and said, "Grandma Pei, from the perspective of justice, I don't think I should refuse. After all, this is a good deed. Moreover, I think that even if I want to refuse, I may not be able to do so.

Since the Ministry of Agriculture has already noticed my Yuanying Village, they asked me to provide some experience to help everyone improve the puddles around Yuanying Village. Moreover, Mr. Bai, who works in the Ministry of Revenue, has heard about it. I think this is almost certain.

Lord Bai asked Butler Bai to pass on a message to me yesterday, asking me to be mentally prepared. I think Lord Bai also thinks that the matter is almost settled.

Although from my personal point of view, if the nearly 8,000 acres of swamps in the surrounding area are all transformed into the same model as my Yuanying Village, it will definitely be a blow to my current business.

However, from another perspective, one cannot support the whole business alone. If I can provide some experience and make changes to the puddles around Yuanying Village, and then scale up my current business, it will be a way out.

Besides, what I did in Yuanying Manor was not very difficult. I thought it was impossible to cover it up. Ordinary people might not have the money to imitate it.

However, those wealthy families and government offices have plenty of money, as well as servants and staff who understand these things. As long as they spend more time and more money, they will eventually be able to do it. Although the process may take some time, there will be results sooner or later.

Also, if the puddles over there are improved and turned into treasure pots, we can pay more taxes to the Ministry of Revenue. Then if Yuanying Manor encounters floods again, the Ministry of Revenue will be thinking about taxes and will be more determined to resist the floods. Their strength will be much stronger than mine alone.

So I thought, since I can't refuse, I should just accept it. This might make a better impression on the higher-ups.

Lord Bai sent me a message before the Agriculture Bureau took any action, considering that we have business dealings. I think it's for my own good.

So I don't think I need to make trouble. When the Ministry of Agriculture can still talk to me, I will cooperate obediently, and then strive for some benefits. It would be best if I can get them. If I can't get them, there is nothing I can do. After all, I am a commoner and cannot resist the government. It is easier for them to control me than to crush an ant. "

After listening to Hua Lei's words, Madam Pei sighed softly and nodded, "You are right. You may need some skills to make cured meat and sausages, but the vegetable planting and poultry raising in Yuanying Manor are obvious. People who know a little bit can learn it by looking at it more. It is indeed as you said, you can't cover it up even if you want to.

And don't say that you, a common citizen, cannot resist the government. Even a marquisate like ours cannot resist if we encounter such a thing. After all, this is a good thing for the benefit of the people. Even a marquisate cannot ignore the lives of the people for its own interests.

The Ministry of Agriculture has already proposed it, which means they are very determined to reform. After all, more than 8,000 acres of land can feed many people. It can also provide many opportunities for people without land to do things, so that they can live a good life.

And if it can be transformed, not only can it provide enough agricultural products for Shangjing City, but it can also turn these 8,000 acres of swamps into a treasure pot. As you said, it can pay a lot more taxes to the Ministry of Revenue, which is also very beneficial to them. You have paid a lot of taxes this year. Therefore, it is estimated that it is imperative for them to transform the swamps. "

After a pause, he continued, "Lei'er, you are right. Since you can't resist, you might as well accept it. However, I think that accepting it readily is not as good as taking the initiative to bear it and take the initiative to attack.

It's the end of the year now and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I guess the Agriculture Bureau may wait until the beginning of next spring to discuss this with you. So you should just pretend you don't know about it now and take the initiative to go to the Ministry of Revenue in the next two days. The Agriculture Bureau is under the name of the Ministry of Revenue.

You can go to Mr. Bai directly and take the initiative to renovate the puddle. This will give Mr. Bai a benefit and also return the favor of Mr. Bai for passing on the message to you in advance. This way, both of you will benefit. What do you think? "Mrs. Pei looked at Hua Lei and suggested.

Hua Lei pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Grandmother Pei, I think you are right. It is better to take the initiative than to passively accept. However, I think it is a bit deliberate to go directly to Mr. Bai. After all, I have never met Mr. Bai.

How about this, I will ask Uncle Fu to pass a message to Lord Bai tomorrow and ask him to wait for a few days. I will first write a plan for the transformation of the puddles, and then ask Lord Bai to pass the plan to his son, Yuanwailang Bai. Wouldn’t this be better?

This way, neither side seems to be doing it deliberately, I get the benefit of taking the initiative, and they get the benefit of recommending.”
