Li Mengyue could understand how they felt. After all, the refugees thought the imperial court had stopped them from heading north and would no longer care about them, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Some refugees were planning to unite and force the government to open the granaries to release food. Instead, the government gave them porridge. The porridge was not so clear that you could reflect your reflection in it. There were only a few grains of rice in it, but it was a thick porridge. Although one bowl of porridge was not enough to fill an adult, it was much better than before and gave them hope of survival.

Later, the government came forward and said that Qingshan Prefecture was going to carry out some water conservancy project. Adult men would be paid ten cents a day for each day they worked, and they would also be provided with a meal.

In addition, even the elderly, children, and women have work to do, such as washing clothes, picking up stones, and collecting firewood. They are paid every day and have meals provided.

As a result, all the refugees found a way to make money and survive overnight.

The refugees who had gathered together before also dispersed on their own. They just wanted to survive and had no intention of rebelling.

The reason why he was instigated by someone with ulterior motives to do something that would lead him and his family to a dead end was not just to survive.

Now that someone has given them a way to live, they will certainly not do such things as exterminating nine generations of their clan.

And they really feel fortunate that they and their families insisted on leaving Qingshan Prefecture and could survive with their own hands.

When they die, some people feel lucky, while others cry sadly for their family members who died on the road.

But no matter what, those who have gone will never come back, so we still have to keep looking forward and not stay in the past.

Xie Ruiyuan also took the opportunity to identify many people with bad intentions among the refugees and eliminate some potential threats.

After the refugees had hope of surviving, they naturally wanted to live a good life in the future, and they worked hard. In the end, many of them obtained enough A-grade certificates and were eligible to buy houses and land.

It was far from enough for Li Mengyue to just ask people to build a house. She also instructed that the quality of the house must be guaranteed, so the construction progress would naturally not be fast.

After the completion of the water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture, not many houses were built.

However, in order to provide the refugees with a temporary place to stay, temporary shelters were built with simple wooden boards.

But although those temporary houses were habitable, they could not withstand the strong winds and snowstorms. She could fully imagine how many temporary houses had collapsed under the weight of the snow and how many had been blown away by the strong winds.

The most urgent task now is to help the people and refugees solve the housing problem. It is not realistic to build houses now. We can only repair those houses that are not seriously damaged and provide enough tents.

Unfortunately, she hadn't considered the tent issue before and needed to buy it from the mall.

But it's not too late now. She can contact the mall at any time. She has already handed the matter of buying a tent to Tuanzi, so she is not worried about not being able to buy it.

After all, she knew that the mall had always been thinking about the Soul-Returning Pill in her hand.

You know, she exchanged a soul-restoring pill for 90 million kilograms of food.

Later, she needed cotton clothes and quilts, so she asked Tuanzi to go to the mall to buy them. However, the mall said that they could only exchange them for the Soul-Returning Pills and would not accept anything else.
