Originally, he was thinking that after getting enough food, he would find a way to get the eldest lady into his hands.

But the world is unpredictable. One moment he was thinking about how to get the person, and the next moment he was kneeling in front of the other person, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.

The key point is that he doesn't know whether he can get through this level smoothly, and he doesn't dare to reveal his identity as King Chen.

If Prince Chen didn't want the villagers to know his identity, but he told them anyway, wouldn't that be like an old man hanging himself to death?

Since there is no way to ask the Prince of Chen for help, then he can ask the Miss for help. He believes that he will kowtow here. With so many villagers watching around, the Miss will not do anything to him for the sake of face.

Besides, this didn’t cause any serious consequences. Even if someone died, the dead person was from Zhuqi Village, Zhu Lei’s grandson.

Liu Quan thought so and kept kowtowing. If kowtowing could make the young lady forgive him, then it would not be in vain.

No matter what, he must not fall into Prince Chen's hands, because he felt that he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

In order to survive, Liuquan risked everything.

"Miss, please, spare me."

"If I knew you were here, I would never bring anyone here."

"Miss, you are a magnanimous person. Could you please not bother with me? It was Zhu Sijin who said there was food in Xinghua Village, and Zhu Lei brought people here. It has nothing to do with me."

"Please, Miss, please spare me."

Li Mengyue didn't know that Liu Quan was thinking this way, but she already knew what the situation was like from Liu Quan's words.

In the final analysis, the incident was caused by her. If she hadn't wanted the village to be able to protect the property of each household independently when the number of refugees increased, she wouldn't have established seven village chiefs to form a patrol team.

But we can't let the patrol team work for nothing. If we do that, it will take three days, and no one will be willing to do it for a long time.

It was then proposed that everyone who joined the patrol team should be given corresponding compensation and 20 kilograms of food per month.

But she also knew that it was impossible for the seven villages to provide a thousand kilograms of food to the patrol team every month.

It just so happened that there was enough food in her space. Since she could give Xie Ruiyuan 100,000 kilograms for free, she would not be stingy with the seven villages.

But the villagers were different from Xie Ruiyuan. Xie Ruiyuan took the food to help the disaster victims, while the villagers took the food for themselves. Therefore, it was impossible for her to give food to seven villages for free.

However, she also knew that the total assets of the seven villages were too small, and at the current food prices, it was impossible for them to buy tens of thousands of kilograms of food.

And she did have the channels to get a large amount of food, and it didn't cost her much, so it wouldn't make much difference if she gave it away for free.

She didn't feel any burden at all when she sold the grain to the villagers at the low price of two cents per pound.

In this way, it won't be too much of a burden for the seven villages to buy tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, and it will also be able to stabilize the villages for a while.

After all, with food, the people who join the patrol will be more motivated and can effectively protect the village to a certain extent.

It was just her original intention, but it attracted the covetousness of bad guys, who came to the village so blatantly and forced people to buy and sell.

Although silver was given, it was probably at the price of two coins per catty. Now that there are more and more refugees, coupled with the impact of the locust plague, the price of food is rising at a rocket speed.

A month ago, although the price of grain also rose, the increase was relatively small, only increasing by one or two times. Farmers with a little money at home could still buy some grain.
