Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 646 Performance Report

And Rong Jin, as if to make up for the abstinent life he had led when Hua Lei was pregnant, was even more "shameless" in his demands.

Therefore, the two people are extremely harmonious in this regard, which makes their relationship even closer and more inseparable.

During this year, the two of them did not add many more robes, but their bellybands and underpants had to be replaced almost every ten days, as they were either torn or broken.

Every half a month, when Hualei saw Qinghua putting a stack of newly made bellybands and underpants on the head of the kang, she would always blush and feel embarrassed.

Before Jinnian's portrait was sent out, Hualei received a letter from Marquis Pei, which made her unhappy. It wasn't anything bad, but in the letter from Marquis Pei, Emperor Shengwu assigned her a task.

Let Hualei write a detailed performance report in Mobei, reporting what she has done in the past two years, as well as her plans and suggestions for the future of Mobei and the new provincial capital.

This.......? Isn't this what the local leaders, the prefects and the governors, have to do? In the Great Sheng Dynasty, many officials above the fourth rank who worked outside the capital were required to submit a performance report back to the capital at the end of each year.

In the past two years, Minister Zhang and Minister Li both submitted performance reports back to the capital. Hua Lei knew this, but why did he have to write one himself this year?

I am just a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, following Minister Zhang in Mobei. What can I write? I didn't write anything in the past two years.

What on earth was Emperor Shengwu thinking? Why did he always like to assign extra tasks to others? Isn't this just looking for things to do for himself for no reason?

Next, the county government will be on holiday. Originally, I could relax and be lazy, and at the same time cultivate the parent-child relationship with Jinnian, and the husband-wife relationship with Rong Jin.

Isn't this all going to go to waste? During the holiday, I have to work overtime again? Hualei was depressed.

Also, why go to all that trouble? Let Grandfather write a letter instead of sending it directly via the official post and having Minister Zhang deliver it?

Was this asking me to tell on my boss, Minister Zhang, without telling him? What...? If there was any problem, wouldn't I be in trouble?

If Minister Zhang knew that I had written the performance report without telling him, he would definitely have some thoughts about me.

Isn't Emperor Shengwu deliberately trying to sow discord? Looking at her grandfather's letter, Hua Lei felt a little embarrassed. Should she tell Minister Zhang about this?

However, before Hua Lei could figure out whether to talk to Minister Zhang about this matter, Minister Zhang conveyed Emperor Shengwu's oral order to her to write a performance report in Mobei.

It turned out that Hua Lei thought that Emperor Shengwu was trying to sow discord, but she was overthinking it. As the head of the Great Sheng Dynasty, he would not and did not need to have such thoughts.

Whatever he wants, he does it. He doesn't need to consider other people's ideas. The reason why Hua Lei was asked to write a performance report was that Emperor Shengwu knew a lot of things Hua Lei had done in his daily letters and the oral accounts of his shadow guards.

However, because there was no coherence and it was all over the place, Emperor Shengwu felt that it was too scattered. So he decided to let Hualei write a performance report herself.

He wanted to take a good look to see if he could find something that could be promoted to other states. After all, the book on Hualei's pioneering work had already brought back a lot of real money for his treasury.

The tax silver paid by the Silin Bureau in the past two years has actually increased by 20%. The corn and rapeseed planted in the several barren hills reclaimed by the court have all had a good harvest in the past two years.

In addition, the original tung trees on the barren hills were fully utilized to produce a lot of oilcloth. In the past two years, many more tung trees have been planted and have survived.

In a few years, oilcloth can be produced and used on a large scale. By then, the treasury will be able to collect more silver. And more obviously, the Emperor Shengwu also carefully looked at the barren mountains purchased by the aristocratic families and the several families to whom Hualei gave opinions and suggestions.

It was indeed very reasonable and adapted to local conditions. It was much better than the opinions given by other officials from the Silin Bureau. So, he thought about asking Hualei to write a performance report.

The reason why Lord Pei conveyed it once and Minister Zhang conveyed it again was just a coincidence. Lord Pei went to the Imperial Study to meet Emperor Shengwu after the monthly grand court meeting, and Emperor Shengwu casually mentioned this matter.

Lord Pei thought that it was Emperor Shengwu's special instruction, so he wrote a letter. In the letter sent by the court to Mobei, people around Emperor Shengwu also mentioned this matter, so Hualei received the instruction again.

However, since it was Minister Zhang who conveyed it, the problem I was worried about no longer existed. Fortunately, it was fortunate that the deadline set by Emperor Shengwu was still quite long.

It can be submitted after the New Year. This is more than a month later than the deadline that Minister Zhang and his team had to submit before the New Year. Hua Lei thought, it’s not so bad.

Balance is achieved through comparison, and Hualei no longer thought that this was an unnecessary matter. Of course, even if she thought about it, there was nothing she could do, as she had no capital to refuse.

So, while working at the county government office, Hualei also began to look through her notes. She had to choose which ones needed to be listed and which ones could be omitted.

Although he was a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue's land reclamation and planting matters were reported to Minister Zhang, so he didn't need to intervene. His own business? There was no need to talk about it, right?

The production instructions and samples of the square rake and the plow have been submitted, so there is no need to elaborate on them. After picking up the buds, I found that I really had nothing to write in the report.

Although, as a corporate slave in her previous life, she had written many year-end summaries and beginning-of-year plans, she had never seen the format of the Dasheng Dynasty's formal performance report and did not know how to write it.

Fortunately, she had a best partner. When Rong Jin saw Hua Lei scratching her head and unable to figure out what to do, she took over the performance report she was going to write.

Rong Jin knew everything Hua Lei had done, and had participated in some of it. Therefore, Hua Lei felt relieved to have Rong Jin, a talented scholar, to help her write.

So, the lazy Hualei began to relax again. From time to time, she would flip through some books in the study and play with Jinnian. When she got tired of reading, she would stroll in the yard.

In her spare time, when Hua Lei saw Rong Jin preparing a performance report for her, she slowly sorted out her daily production of various objects and her experience.

From corn planting and rapeseed oil pressing technology to water wheels, oilcloth making, the use of square rakes and plow carts, as well as the delicious food that he occasionally makes in his daily life, everything is written about.
