Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 513: Lateral Transfer

It was originally a rice shop. But the business was not very good. So Hualei simply changed the shop into a wine shop selling wine, adding some cooked food and braised food. A few tables were placed in the shop.

The family's rice wine, sweet potato wine, and a small amount of wine were all put in. The wine shop was given the elegant name of "Tipsy".

The way of selling wine is also quite flexible. Customers can buy it by a whole jar, by a pot, or by a bowl.

Customers can take the wine home directly after buying it, or they can order some cooked food or stewed food in the shop for a simple meal. There are also some steamed buns and steamed buns available. The customers who come here are all middle- and upper-class customers.

The specifications and conditions of the wine shop are far inferior to those of the several restaurants and inns at the head of East Street. However, it is said that because of its precise positioning, the business is very good after only one month of opening.

Moreover, Huabud has also made a plan. In autumn, he plans to brew some osmanthus wine, and in winter, he plans to make some plum blossom wine.

Of course, next spring, the peach blossom wine and pear blossom white at Baihua Manor will also have a good place to go. After seeing this, Mrs. Pei had to admire Hualei's business acumen, which was really amazing.

After sorting out the account books, Hua Lei couldn't help but laugh when she saw Rong Jin still in a daze. In fact, in Hua Lei's eyes, this really didn't need to be so entangled.

However, Rong Jin has always been a somewhat stubborn person who demands perfection, so many things still require him to figure them out slowly.

After all, in this world, eight out of ten things are not as expected, and there is no such thing as sincerity in everything. Moreover, Hua Lei had a hunch that Emperor Shengwu summoned Lord Pei to the imperial study today, which might be related to her.

When Lord Pei returned from the palace in the afternoon and called Rong Jin and Hua Lei to Songhe Hall, Hua Lei's premonition was confirmed.

It turned out that Emperor Shengwu was a little disappointed when he did not see Hua Lei's name on the list of recommended candidates submitted by the Ministry of Revenue.

He was not very clear about Rong Jin and Hua Lei's wedding, but he also knew that they were engaged. When he selected Rong Jin, he considered that he hoped Hua Lei could also go.

However, he didn't mean that Hua Lei had to go. If Hua Lei could go, he would of course be happy. If she couldn't go, he wouldn't force her.

After the desert in the north was reclaimed, rapeseed and corn were planted in large quantities. Although the people in the north had experience in rapeseed planting, they had never seen corn before.

There are also quite a few mountains, which may also require planning. It would be best if Hua Lei, who has practical experience, went.

Although it seems inappropriate to let a female family member go to Mobei to work, it is a different matter if Hua Lei goes voluntarily.

Moreover, there are many female relatives in Mobei, and they are all living well. Moreover, he can also compensate Hualei in other ways.

For example, promoting Hua Lei to a higher position. There are plenty of positions anyway, and if there is really no position, he can draft a new one himself. In the eyes of Emperor Shengwu, this is not a big deal at all. What he wants is that Hua Lei can go to Mobei voluntarily.

Therefore, he first summoned the head of the Silin Bureau, Lord Mo, to inquire about the situation. He learned that Hua Lei had actually volunteered to go to Mobei.

It was just that Lord Mo himself felt that Hua Lei was a woman and was not suitable to go to Mobei, so he crossed out Hua Lei's name. After Emperor Shengwu asked Lord Mo to leave, he pondered for a long time and summoned Lord Pei to the palace to talk about this matter.

In the imperial study, Emperor Shengwu asked Lord Pei directly whether he agreed to Hualei going to Mobei. Because he didn't know whether Hualei was pregnant, Lord Pei hesitated and explained his dilemma to Emperor Shengwu.

After hearing this, Emperor Shengwu thought for a while, and then gave two documents to Marquis Pei. In Marquis Pei's hand was a piece of paper written by Emperor Shengwu himself, with Hua Lei's name circled in a big red circle, and the other was a letter of appointment for Hua Leiping to be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as a fifth-rank doctor.

Emperor Shengwu told Lord Pei that if Hua Lei volunteered to go to Mobei, she could just take the letter of appointment to report to the Ministry of Revenue. If she changed her mind and did not want to go to Mobei, the letter of appointment would be invalid.

Hua Lei's current deputy envoy is of the fifth rank, and the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue is also of the fifth rank. This is a horizontal transfer, but the meaning is somewhat different. Transferring from a branch to a main department, the value of this is still increased.

It turned out that Emperor Shengwu wanted to promote Hua Lei to a higher position within the Silin Bureau, but Lord Pei helped Hua Lei refuse.

If Hua Lei was promoted in the Silin Bureau, it would be from "Deputy Envoy" to "Forestry Envoy". Lord Pei thought that if Hua Lei went to Mobei, one of them was a fifth rank and the other was a fourth rank, they would be of some use when they went to the government office in the capital.

However, there was no need to go to Mobei. The Silin Bureau was just a small branch of the Ministry of Revenue. There were only a few people going to Mobei, so it was useless to appoint himself as the top leader.

No matter whether you are from the fourth rank or the fifth rank, you have to listen to the Ministry of Revenue, so it is better not to have this promotion.

If he helps Hua Lei refuse, Emperor Shengwu will feel that he owes Hua Lei. When Hua Lei returns from Mobei, he might be directly promoted to the head of the Silin Bureau.

If Hua Lei doesn't go to Mobei, then this promotion letter will be wasted, which is a pity, and she will owe Emperor Shengwu a favor for nothing. It's better not to have it.

However, it is unknown whether Emperor Shengwu really thought Hualei was excellent or he just wanted to get the most out of Hualei, so he suddenly had an idea and directly transferred Hualei to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as a doctor.

The main responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue Langzhong is to assist the local governor in handling government affairs, managing local affairs, maintaining social stability, etc. When you arrive in Mobei, you will probably only have one supervisor in the Ministry of Revenue.

Moreover, after going to Mobei, it was only natural for Hualei to take charge of both the Forestry Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau. In the early stage of going to Mobei, the Agriculture Bureau's affairs would definitely be more important than the Forestry Bureau's affairs, and would also be more arduous. Hualei taking charge of both was like doing two things at once.

Emperor Shengwu's sudden inspiration was not a miscalculation. Moreover, Emperor Shengwu was kind enough to verbally promise Lord Pei.

If Hualei gets pregnant and gives birth in Mobei, she doesn't have to be on duty every day. She just needs to control the general direction. This is already a great blessing.

What else could Lord Pei do? To be honest, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. From another perspective, it was indeed a good thing, and Hua Lei herself really wanted to go to Mobei, so she took it back after thanking him.
