"Um."

"If it's true as Miss Li said, that grains are two cents a pound, then our Taohua Village would need two thousand five hundred pounds."

As soon as Village Chief Wang finished speaking, all the village chiefs in the field looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

"Village Chief Wang, you don't have a fever, are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Two thousand five hundred kilograms, do you know how much grain that is?" Village Chief Zheng said.

"Go away, I'm not confused about food."

Then Village Chief Wang looked at Li Mengyue with burning eyes, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue didn't let Village Chief Wang look down and said that there was no problem.

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll go back and get the silver."

After receiving a positive answer, Village Chief Wang was no longer willing to wait and just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.

When the other village chiefs saw this, they all frowned.

Village chief Wang, who was originally very happy, suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Seeing everyone's ugly face, he suddenly woke up, and the whole person was as if poured with a basin of cold water. The sun was scorching outside, but he felt cold all over and shivered suddenly.

"Miss Li, I was too abrupt. Don't take what I said just now to heart. Taohua Village will not buy 2,500 kilograms of grain."

Just as he was thinking about finalizing the patrol teams for the seven villages, he also had to go to the county government office to find County Magistrate Yang to talk about the refugees.

If possible, she also wanted to sell some grain to County Magistrate Yang at a low price.

Who would have thought that Village Chief Wang, who wanted to go back to get the silver just a moment ago, would change his mind and not buy it in the blink of an eye.

However, she did not think that the Taohua Village Office had no money. You should know that some time ago, not only Xinghua Village, but also the other six villages, Lianhua Village, Taohua Village, Shitou Village, Guihua Village, Meihua Village, and Zhoujia Village, every household joined in catching locusts, sold them for a lot of money, and also paid some to the village.

In other words, the village offices of the seven villages all have silver and money, it’s just a matter of how much.

Since Village Chief Wang just proposed to buy 2,500 kilograms of grain from her, the village office must have more than five taels of silver.

What's more, she sold it for two cents per catty, which was really cheap, one cent less than the current price. Every village chief in the market would be tempted.

Now only Village Chief Wang stood up, but then he changed his mind. There must be something wrong.

But for a moment, Li Mengyue didn't know what the seven village chiefs were thinking.

[Host, I know why Village Chief Wang regretted his decision.]

【Oh, how did you know. 】

"That's what they said, it's none of my business. Village Chief Wang and the others thought you didn't have enough food, and with such a low price, you were definitely going to lose out. And the fact that the village's food supply was preserved is also your credit. If you hadn't led people up the mountain to bring water, even without the locust plague, relying solely on carrying water would have killed the crops, and they would have been wiped out, leaving them with nothing to live on. Now, thanks to you, not only is the harvest abundant, but every household is also making a lot of money from selling locusts. While not every household has enough food and money, and doesn't have to worry about going hungry, there's no reason for you to pay out of your own pocket to support them."

After listening to the system's words, Li Mengyue knew that it was the system that heard the voices of the seven village heads.

She knew that her efforts were not in vain, but she did not expect that the village chiefs would resist the huge temptation and would rather give up the food that could be bought at a low price than make things difficult for her.

She was deeply moved by the actions of the seven village heads.

But there is no need to do so. After all, there is enough food in the space to feed not only seven villages, but also the entire Zhou Dynasty. There is no need for them to do so.

Of course, although it was easy for her to get food, it didn't come from the wind, so she couldn't give it away for free.

But she also knew that according to the current market price, even though many villagers had saved money, they really couldn't buy much food.
