Chapter 512: Pregnancy is the best
Hua Lei understood this point. If she was really pregnant, she would stay in the Silin Bureau in Shangjing City for a year. After she gave birth to the baby, she could apply to go to Mobei.
Anyway, she didn't want to resign, but having a child was a matter of time. Hualei didn't say that she didn't want to have a child for the sake of her career. She wouldn't resign directly for the sake of having a child.
As long as the Silin Bureau did not fire her, Hua Lei had no objection even if she did not receive her salary when she gave birth. As long as she could keep her position and go back to work after giving birth, she would be fine.
The next day was a day off, and when Hualei woke up, Doctor Xu was already waiting in the main hall. Over the years, whenever Hualei had a headache or fever, Doctor Xu would help treat her.
At the end of every year, Madam Pei would ask Doctor Xu to take Hua Lei's pulse and regulate her body, so Doctor Xu was relatively clear about Hua Lei's body condition.
After carefully feeling Hua Lei's pulse, Doctor Xu shook his head. This was within Hua Lei's expectations. After all, she had just had her period a few days ago. Rong Jin, on the other side, looked unhappy.
After sending off the doctor from the Xu family, Hua Lei did not rush to comfort Rong Jin. Instead, she found Qinghong and Qinglu and gave them a long list of orders.
In order to produce a series of foods that can be stored for a long time, such as sausages, cured meat, bacon, and dried vegetables, we are doing our best to increase manpower and increase production.
Including salted duck eggs, fermented bean curd, pickled fish, etc., as long as there are raw materials, all of them will increase production. At the same time, the price sold in Hua Qianbian Shop will immediately increase by 20%.
Several workshops producing down jackets, goose down quilts and wool quilts also increased production. The price of quilts sold in the Flower Fairy Shop immediately rose by 30%.
In the summer of previous years, the prices of goose down quilts and wool quilts have dropped. Now, not only have they not dropped, but they have risen by 30%.
Hualei's series of counter-intuitive actions stunned Qinghong and Qinglu. However, they did not waste any time and immediately passed down Hualei's orders.
Soon, almost all the workshops in Zhuangzi that had reduced production at this time of year in previous years received orders to increase production with all their might.
After finishing giving instructions for all the matters in the workshop, Hua Lei dragged Rong Jin to Songhe Courtyard to discuss matters with Old Madam Pei and Old Marquis Pei.
Hua Lei was not pregnant. After Doctor Xu left, she immediately sent a maid to Songheyuan to tell them.
Now, she wanted to ask Lord Pei to go to the palace to ask Emperor Shengwu to allow her to go to Mobei. When she arrived at Songhe Courtyard, she found out that Lord Pei had been summoned to the palace by Emperor Shengwu to discuss something.
There was no other way, Hua Lei dragged Rong Jin back to Qixia Court. During this period, Rong Jin had been in a bad mood. There was no way around his going to Mobei except to resign. He kept going back and forth about Hua Lei's insistence on going to Mobei.
Hua Lei, on the other hand, was emotionally stable. She sent Qinghong back to Hua's house to inform her parents and Xiaoyuan of her plan to go to Mobei, so that they could be mentally prepared in advance.
Although Qinghong brought back the message that Hua Mancheng and Yun Shi disapproved, Yun Shi even cried directly. They felt that the best way was that Hua Lei could get pregnant before Rong Jin went to Mobei, that would be the best.
However, this bud really has no say. Although Rong Jin has really been working overtime every day during this period, the fate of having a child may not have come yet.
Therefore, during this period of time, Hualei has begun to sort out some things that need to be done before going to Mobei. Hualei has also made a lot of new arrangements for some people in the manor and the workshop.
Hua Mancheng had lost confidence in his career in the government, so he decided to be a teacher. Hua Lei did not object, but she still handed over some of the account books and accounts on the farm to him and Yun.
As for Cheng Linsheng, while Hua Lei is now helping him manage Huaguo Mountain, Hua Lei has also found him a skilled master from the Marquis' Mansion to teach him some martial arts.
Cheng Linsheng's father used to be a military officer in the Changyun County government. When Cheng Linsheng was a child, his father taught him some simple physical fitness activities, so his physical condition has always been very good.
Hua Lei thought, let the martial arts master teach him, plus he can read. In two years, when the martial arts recruitment is held in Shangjing City, he can go and try.
If it works, it's a good way out. If not, we'll talk about it later. Cheng Linsheng and Ni Daya are grateful and very satisfied with Hualei's arrangement.
So whether it's exercising or doing things, Cheng Linsheng is always full of energy. Ni Daya successfully gave birth to a daughter a few months ago and is still taking care of her during this period.
As for Xiao Yuan, Hua Lei almost never worried about him. His self-management ability was better than Hua Lei's. Sometimes, Hua Lei had to persuade him to take it easy and not hurt himself.
After finishing the things on hand, Hualei also made some arrangements for the newly bought barren mountain in the Marquis's Mansion. Hualei also read and sorted out all the winery account books given by Mrs. Pei.
There is no big problem, so we can just proceed according to the original model. As for the three farms and two shops given by Mrs. Pei, Hualei made some slight changes.
The farm had been planting rice and wheat for decades. After Hualei took over, he re-arranged the farm and reduced the area of crops by half to plant corn and rapeseed.
The court is purchasing these two crops at a very high price in order to promote them throughout the Great Sheng Dynasty. Hua Lei feels that they should not give up.
As for a farm with poor soil, Hualei asked them to plant more sweet potatoes. Now they have opened their own sweet potato wine workshop, and the produced sweet potato wine is sold to the Imperial Hospital. Hualei was worried that there would not be enough raw materials.
If there is not enough fertilizer on the farm, you can go to Hualei's farm in Yuanying Farm and use it directly. As for the farm in the swamp behind the mansion, although there is a lot of fertilizer now, this farm is in the public, so Hualei did not intervene.
Of the two shops that Old Madam Pei gave her, one was on Qinglong Street, which was in a very good location. People who went there were either rich or noble. Originally, Old Madam Pei rented it out.
At the end of September, the lease was about to expire. So Hualei planned to take it back and sell high-end items such as goose down quilts, wool quilts, and wool sweaters. The Flower Fairy Shop was still relatively small. The location was also a bit off.
The other shop that Mrs. Pei gave was on East Street, a little off the beaten track.
