Chapter 535 Arrival in Mobei

Moreover, all the capable personnel were placed in Shangjing City by Zhenzhu to look after her dowry shop and farm. Apart from those who served her, she only brought one or two capable people who could be used outside.

This is what Hua Lei reminded her to bring before leaving Shangjing City. She wanted to go to Mobei Town to see the situation first. If possible, she would buy a shop in Mobei or Modong Town, where she could take care of things herself.

However, the studious Zhenzhu did not stay in the inn, but followed Hualei and Rongjin and wandered around the most prosperous streets in Leyang Prefecture.

After a day, I learned a lot, but I didn't find a suitable shop. When I took a shortcut back to the inn, I passed by a relatively remote cloth shop.

The cloth shop was selling defective fabrics at a discount, and the price was very cheap. Hua Lei picked and chose, and bought a large batch of cloth and a lot of cotton. Then, at the beginning of the You hour, several people returned to the inn.

Tian Xiaocheng has already delivered all the supplies that Hua Lei needs, and also delivered the results of the temporary sales of goods at the north and south city gates today.

Hua Lei took a look and saw that the sales were quite good. The South Gate sold more than 500 taels of goods, and the North Gate sold more than 700 taels of goods. It seems that the traffic at the South and North Gates is very large today.

After taking a closer look at the categories of goods on sale, Hualei discovered that food items were mostly sold at the South Gate, especially sausages and preserved meats, while wool sweaters, goose down quilts, and wool blankets were mostly sold at the North Gate.

This is also in line with the consumption habit of eating first and wearing later during long-term travel. Only after filling the stomach will one think about the next thing.

So, he gave Tian Xiaocheng some advice and asked him to appropriately adjust the proportions of various goods at the north and south gates to avoid shortages.

And he told Tian Xiaocheng that once all the goods could be loaded onto one ship, the other ship should not go north any further.

To save time, he could return directly to Shangjing City and then load a shipload of goods to go to Mobei. Once he arrived in Mobei, he would definitely sell these food ingredients and daily necessities again.

After all, many people in the northern border of the Great Sheng Dynasty are now slowly gathering in Mobei. I have to seize this business opportunity and strike first.

She also told Tian Xiaocheng about her plan to buy a shop in Leyang Prefecture. After Tian Xiaocheng carefully asked Hua Lei about her requirements, he took over the matter of buying the shop.

Since Tian Xiaocheng had taken over the shop's business, Hua Lei was ready to leave Leyang Prefecture the next day. After all, she didn't know what the next journey would be like, so she had to rush to Mobei as soon as possible to feel at ease.

However, she wrote another letter and asked Tian Xiaocheng to hand it to Liang Xiangyi when he returned to Shangjing City. In the past few years, she and Liang Xiangyi have maintained a harmonious cooperative relationship.

After wandering around Leyang Prefecture today, she found that there were many restaurants and inns here, but relatively few cloth shops and garment shops. If she had any ideas, she could come to Leyang Prefecture to open up new markets.

The very thin fabrics in her own fabric workshop may not be suitable here, but she has partners and resources in this area. If she is willing, she should be able to find a suitable source of goods and develop in Leyang Prefecture.

If I knew a little about fabric production, I would have wanted to get involved. After all, no one dislikes having too much money.

After arranging matters in Leyang Prefecture and having dinner early, they asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest. The next day, early in the morning, just as the east was getting bright, Hua Lei and his party had already left the north gate of Leyang Prefecture in a carriage.

We slept in the open air again along the way, and the scenery around us became more and more desolate. Finally, near noon on the eighth day, the shadow of the Mobei town came into sight in the distance.

Hualei and Zhenzhu were both quite excited, and the servants couldn't help but curl their lips.

"Sister-in-law, when we enter the town later, shall we go to my mother's place first?" Zhenzhu, who had not seen her mother for several months, missed her parents a little.

Although Pei Jingyang and Madam Han came back in mid-May because Rong Jin and Hua Lei got married, Zhenzhu, as a daughter, still missed them very much.

Hua Lei looked at the long line of carriages behind him. There were many other carriages there. Hua Lei hesitated for a moment and said.

"Zhenzhu, why don't you go back to your mother first? Your elder brother, my brother-in-law and I should go to the county government office to report first. Although we are seven or eight days earlier than the time stipulated by the court.

However, I think that since we are here, it is better for us to go and register first. Besides, my brother-in-law is on duty today. If we go to my mother's place without saying anything, it would be considered as abandoning our duty. It is not appropriate for the public.

And I guess, after we report, we may have to look at the accommodation arranged by the court. Here, we should be able to choose the accommodation according to the principle of first come first served.

If we go to mother's place first, it might delay us. But you see, there are so many teams behind us, what if they take the good place first?" Hualei thought as she looked at the team at the city gate.

"Is that so? Okay, I'll go with you. If you really need to choose a place to live, I'll go and take a look too. Let's choose the one next door." Pearl said with a smile.

"That's fine." Hua Lei nodded, turned to Rong Jin and asked, "Husband, how about sending someone over to talk to mother later?"

"I guess someone is waiting for us at the town entrance." Rong Jin said confidently. Okay, Hua Lei nodded, this is indeed possible.

As they were talking, they had already reached the gate of Mobei Town. It was called Mobei Town, but in fact, Mobei was a small county town.

At this time, two long lines had already formed at the city gate, and Hua Lei and her group got off the car and started to line up. Here, people entering the county will be subject to a preliminary inspection and diversion.

They would check your household registration and verify your identity. Then, officials coming from the capital would be led to the official registration office on the east side of the county government.

If you are a staff member coming from the capital, you should go to the northeast corner of the county government office to report. Gao Tiedan, Xiao Yuanzi and Xiao Huzi, who had accompanied Hua Lei all the way, thanked Hua Lei, said goodbye, and went to the northeast corner on their own. Anyway, there will be many opportunities to meet later.

Ordinary people who responded to the court's recruitment and came to Mobei to participate in the construction went to the registration office west of the county government.

The queue was indeed quite long, but it moved quickly. After just two cups of tea, it was Hualei and his group's turn.

After showing their household registration, Hua Lei and others entered the small county town in Mobei.
