Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 766 The atmosphere has improved a lot

Therefore, half a month before the Chinese New Year, Hualei, who was in Xichang, not only received the salt distribution notice, but also received a generous gift from Emperor Shengwu. The amount was more than last year, and Hualei was extremely happy.

Then he gave the notice to Pan Wan, asking him to work with Feng Shuangxi to prepare the salt distribution table for each prefecture in Xichang next year so that he could sign it.

When the salt from the imperial court arrives in the spring of next year, it can be distributed directly. With more salt and better quality, it will be very easy to distribute it.

After all, if more was given, everyone would be happy. So, within three or four days, Hualei had signed the list of salt distribution for each state in Xichang Prefecture, and all she had to do was wait for the salt from the court to arrive.

The La Festival gifts issued by Emperor Shengwu were also divided according to the regulations of the government office. In addition, a batch of white wine was distributed to Peng Dong's family according to individual contribution points. After that, things were almost dealt with, and the government office began to seal the rest day.

This year is another busy year, but also a fruitful year. When writing the year-end report, Hualei carefully reviewed what she had done this year.

I found that although crops have been affected to a certain extent due to the locust plague this year, other things can be said to be moving in a positive direction.

Except for the time when she has free time and misses the good old days, Hualei feels that this year's days have been very fulfilling and meaningful.

Because the children were not around, the New Year seemed even more lonely. After Rong Jin and Hua Lei finished their New Year's Eve dinner, they sat together and began to stay up until the end of the year.

The yard was quiet, but the mud cannon throwing competition outside was in full swing. The originally quiet night was occasionally filled with bursts of laughter.

Just like last year, Hualei took out 300 kilograms of corn seeds as a prize for the mud cannon throwing competition. And this year, the number of local wealthy people who added prizes to the mud cannon throwing competition was even greater.

The forms have become more diverse. As long as it complies with the rules, Hualei will never stop it. I am not a martial arts master, so I can't rob the rich and help the poor.

However, Hua Lei also thinks that changing the method to rob the rich and help the poor is very good. The most important thing is that the rich man is willing and proactive, so the effect will be better.

The rich are happy to give, and the common people are even happier to receive. After winning the prize, the contestants congratulate the winners, and both sides are happy.

After winning a prize and returning home with generous prizes, everyone in the family was happy and the atmosphere in the whole family became much better.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in Xichang Prefecture improved a lot. Most importantly, the amount of fertile land increased a lot.

Moreover, Hualei made a strange discovery: in the second half of last year, in October and November, a particularly large number of babies were born.

At first, Hua Lei was a little confused. However, with Rong Jin's suggestion, Hua Lei finally guessed some possibilities.

It should be because during the Chinese New Year, people have free time and are happy. After winning the game, they are even more excited. Therefore, the couples' sports at night are more harmonious and more frequent.

Then, the little seeds began to take root and sprout. It seems that in the second half of this year, Xichang Prefecture will welcome another batch of babies.

In recent years, Emperor Shengwu has been promoting the policy of having more children. Hua Lei wondered if this could be considered his political achievement.

However, while Hua Lei was thinking about her political achievements, Rong Jin was thinking about having a daughter. Although she already had two sons, they were not caring.

If he had a daughter who looked like Hua Meime, who was sweet and soft, and who acted coquettishly towards him, Rong Jin felt that he would be powerless to resist.

However, seeing Hualei who usually didn't even have time to sleep, Rong Jin could only suppress the thoughts in his heart. However, it was the New Year now.

With the rest time, the two of them have enough time to stay at home to rest, catch up on sleep, and do couples' exercises.

Unfortunately, in the past few years, Hua Meimei is not suitable for pregnancy. Therefore, it may still be a long way to go for her to have a daughter.

However, Sister Hua was smart and prepared for the future. In the past few years, when she was selling medicinal materials to the Imperial Medical Bureau, she established good relationships with many imperial physicians.

Darkly, she knew a lot of the concubines' contraceptive prescriptions that did not harm their health, so the couple's exercise was not affected. Sometimes, Sister Hua also learned to use some aromatherapy to enhance her pleasure, and Rong Jin was very satisfied.

Therefore, the two of them took advantage of the good weather and went to the competition venue several times. Besides having fun with the people, Rong Jin made full use of the rest of the time.

If Hua Lei didn't have a good prescription, Rong Jin would probably be able to realize his dream of having a daughter in the second half of the year, and Hua Lei would become a person who contributes to the population of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Every day was as sweet as honey, and the days passed by very quickly. In a blink of an eye, more than half a month of rest time has passed, and it is time to start a new year of life.

The first thing to do at the beginning of the year is to recruit students for the colleges below. Before the New Year, the colleges in various states had all been completed and accepted, and now they can recruit students and start classes.

However, it was difficult to recruit teachers. Especially for students who were to be tongsheng and xiucai, the requirements were even higher. In Xichang, there were not many teachers who could meet these requirements. Hualei was in a dilemma.

Just when Hua Lei was in a dilemma, the clerk at the gate of the government office came in and reported that there were eight or nine old men from the capital city outside the government office who wanted to see Hua Lei.

Eight or nine old men from the capital wanted to see her, and Hua Lei was a little confused. So she asked the yamen official to bring them in first.

When Hua Lei saw the person walking in front, she stood up in surprise and said, "Master Jijiu, why are you here? Lu Dianzhuan, you... why are you here too?"

"Hahaha, Master Hua, I'm here to join in the fun again. This time, I'm not the only one joining in the fun. I've brought a few old guys along to join in the fun."

Gui Jijiu, who was walking in front, was smiling happily. However, he bowed to Hualei in a very formal and meticulous manner, just like a commoner greeting an official.

Lu Dianzhuan, who was following behind, and several other elders who were about the same age as Gui Jijiu, also bowed to Hua Lei to greet him.

Hualei quickly dodged to the side, avoiding everyone's greetings, and rushed forward to help everyone up one by one, saying shamefully, "Masters, this is really embarrassing for Hualei, please get up quickly."

At the same time, he was busy asking people to take seats and serving tea. Among the people who came, all of them were retired scholars from the Imperial College.
