Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 797 Finale (Part )

Women are as good as men

The several carriages of gifts that Hualei brought were handed over to Berlin at the gate of the military camp. Presumably, Berlin had already told Bailiyun about it.

"In fact, the production of snowflake sugar is still not much this year, so I brought some brown sugar over, uncle, you can try it. Also, uncle, if you need it in the future, you can go directly to the sugar factory to buy it.

I have already told Pan Wan and Magistrate Zhao that, in addition to the snowflake candy supplied by the Imperial Court Purchasing Department, the rest of the brown sugar and snowflake candy will be supplied to your uncle first if his military camp needs it.

There is also saltpeter from Changhuai Prefecture and watermelons from Changtong Prefecture. As long as uncle needs them, they will be supplied to the military camp first. "Hua Lei said with a smile.

Earlier, after watermelons came on the market in the summer, although the yield was limited, Hua Buds was still the first to send a batch of them to the teachers in the academy and the military camp, as well as saltpeter.

During the Great Sheng Dynasty, Emperor Shengwu was wise and insightful, and he promoted both civil and military affairs, and the country was stable. Even when the military generals had no wars to fight, the court and the Ministry of War never treated the soldiers guarding the border harshly.

The supply of the barracks was never cut, the military pay was never reduced, and rice, grain, oil, salt and other necessities of life were given priority to the soldiers on the frontier. When the Ministry of Industry had oilcloth and alcohol, it was never stingy in providing them to the soldiers.

Even if the military camps are used for farming, although the court said that it reserves the right to reclaim the land at any time, Hua Lei feels that as long as there is no major natural disaster and there is no serious shortage of granaries in the court treasury, Emperor Shengwu will not take it back for the time being.

In recent years, in addition to the normal monthly wages, the output of the independent farming of the soldiers in Mobei was only used to pay taxes according to the normal level of the people, and the rest was used to improve the soldiers' lives.

The military camp in Xichang also implemented such benevolent policies. Therefore, the military camp had sufficient military supplies and the soldiers themselves were not short of money.

With silver, it is normal to improve life. After all, the soldiers are still very intense in their training. Now that Xichang Prefecture has good things, it is natural to give priority to the soldiers here.

"Really, thank you so much, niece-in-law. I didn't expect that in just three years in Xichang, she has brought so many benefits to the people. In addition, I and my people have benefited as well."

Bai Liyun was a little surprised to hear Hua Lei say that all the good things in Xichang would be supplied to her military camp first in the future.

Of course, I feel very happy in my heart. Being respected and cared about by others is really a pleasant thing.

"My niece-in-law is really young and promising, with a bright future ahead of her." Bai Liyun said with emotion, while glancing at his sons calmly, especially Bai Yunhe who was sitting at the bottom.

Sometimes, the better and more capable the other person is, the greater the regret of losing him/her, and the greater the possibility of being deeply trapped in it. Alas, "Zhuang Zhou finally dreamed of being a butterfly, which is both a blessing and a disaster."

Bai Yunhe, who had taken off his armor and changed his clothes, sat there, slightly pursing his lips and smiling. However, his smile was not very natural.

When faced with the girl he couldn't love, he received his father's undisguised praise. While he was happy for her, he couldn't help feeling a little bitter and unwilling in his heart.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at the flower buds. Her eyebrows were lively and she smiled sweetly. The confidence and joy she exuded made Bai Yunhe turn his eyes away.

In fact, as soon as Hua Lei and Rong Jin walked into the training ground, I saw them from the low platform on the east side.

They were both wearing scarlet official uniforms, so it was hard to ignore them. Moreover, he had been staring at the entrance of the training ground, looking anxiously.

"My sister-in-law is truly as capable as any man. In the past few years in Xichang Prefecture, she has done better than any of the previous prefects.

And my grandfather also mentioned to us that my brother and sister-in-law are not only beautiful and intelligent, but also very ingenious. Now there are many things in the military camp that are provided by Huaji. "Bai Yunshan, who was sitting on the other side of Bai Liyun, also smiled and said.

"Brother Bai, thank you for your praise. I just want to make a living..." Hua Lei said modestly, her face slightly red after drinking the peach blossom wine.

"Sister-in-law, don't be modest. I heard that you are good at managing general affairs. In the past few years, Yunhe has been doing the wool sweater business with you and has made a lot of money.

Now, he is the richest person in our mansion. I am so envious of him." Bai Yunhu next to him also said with envy.

After a pause, he asked, "By the way, I heard that my sister-in-law is also a good chess player. How about we play a game after dinner?"

Because his wife and sister-in-law slandered Hua Lei, they were sent to the Western Xinjiang military camp by Lord Bai and worked in the kitchen for three years. Therefore, Bai Yunhu was very curious when Hua Lei had not yet come to Xichang.

Moreover, he had heard a lot about Hualei from his wife, although they were all negative. However, Bai Yunhu believed more in his grandfather's vision. His grandfather rarely praised others. Hualei was a rare one.

In addition, after knowing that their brother Bai Yunhe loves Hua Lei but cannot get her, the two brothers are very "concerned" about Hua Lei.

Especially after Hualei came to Xichang, they secretly paid attention to what Hualei did. From curiosity at the beginning to sincere admiration now, the mental journeys of the two brothers are surprisingly similar.

Especially after being fed many times by Hualei. Whether it was snowflake candy or watermelon, they would be grateful for what they had eaten. The ice made from saltpeter improved the living conditions of the soldiers.

"Um...this..." Faced with the sudden invitation from a foreign man, Hua Lei didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Sister Hua, Second Brother Bai is an excellent chess player. You can ask for his advice. Just think of it as playing chess with your own brother. It doesn't matter if you lose." When Hua Lei was about to refuse, Rong Jin, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile.

"Yes, we have nothing to do this afternoon. It's a rare occasion for us to be together, so there's nothing wrong with having some fun. After this time, we don't know when we can sit together next time." Bai Liyun also smiled.

Bai Liyunhe had already said this, Hua Lei felt embarrassed to refuse anymore. She looked at Rong Jin, smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we brothers all like to play chess. However, I am the worst at chess. Yunhu and Yunhe have both won and lost, and are evenly matched. It is precisely because of this that neither of them is convinced.

I wonder if they have a chance of winning against their younger brother and sister-in-law? If both of them lose, it will be a big embarrassment. Hahaha..." Bai Yunshan seemed to want to see his two brothers make a fool of themselves.

What Hualei didn't know was that both Baiyun Lake and Baiyun Mountain wanted to fulfill Bai Yunhe's dream.
