Hearing Li Mengyue say this, the seven village heads immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then a scene appeared that shocked Li Mengyue.
Seven village chiefs were seen vying to count how much food they wanted to buy.
They knew very well that once the refugees arrived in Wuning County, they would not be able to survive for a long time, or even for the next few years, so it was necessary to stockpile a large amount of food.
Since Li Mengyue has channels and a large amount of food in her hands, they can no longer be shy like little girls and must seize the opportunity.
"Yue girl, I want 20,000 kilograms from our village."
"Lotus Village also has 20,000 jin."
Village Chief Wang had originally asked for 2,500 kilograms, but when he saw that Village Chief Li and Village Chief Ma both asked for 20,000 kilograms at once, he was no longer polite. Anyway, their village had some money, so he just asked directly.
"Fifteen thousand kilograms from Taohua Village."
"Fifteen thousand kilograms in Stone Village."
"Twenty thousand catties from Osmanthus Village."
"Plum Blossom Village, 10,000 jin."
"Zhoujia Village also has 10,000 jin."
After hearing the numbers reported by the village heads, Li Mengyue felt unbelievable.
He was refusing before, but now he insists, the minimum he can get is 10,000 kilograms.
If she hadn't gotten a lot of food from the mall, she would have been slapped in the face on the spot.
After all, 110,000 jin of grain is not a small amount. Including what she bought herself, what she collected from Mr. Liu, and what the child's father had sent over, the total amount is still less than 100,000 jin.
One hundred and ten thousand kilograms of grain would have to be sold out at once. Without a shopping mall, where would she get the grain for the seven village heads?
However, she still agreed with the actions of the seven village heads.
During famine years, food is life. Many times, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. It is better to take the opportunity to exchange silver for food.
"Xiao, I've noted down the amount of food each village needs. I'll notify you when the food arrives, and then you can arrange for people to go to the town to collect it."
"Tut-tut-tut."
After talking about the patrol team, Li Mengyue prepared to go to the county government office.
She knew that if she wanted to settle the refugees, she would need the help of the government.
The key point is that there are some things that County Magistrate Yang does not have the decision-making power and needs to report to the higher level.
As far as she knew, the prefect of Qingshan Prefecture was not a lowly official, and she expected there would be great resistance at that time.
She really hoped that the court would send someone to remove the prefect of Qingshan and replace him with someone who could work for the people.
But she knew that these were not things she could decide. The most important thing at the moment was to take care of Wuning County first.
She had had many contacts with County Magistrate Yang. Although she didn't know him very well, at least she knew that County Magistrate Yang would not have any improper thoughts about the people.
As long as County Magistrate Yang cooperated, she believed that the refugees who came to Wuning County would be able to spend the winter safely, and would be able to start plowing in the spring of the following year and live comfortably.
If she could really do all this, would she still be worried about not receiving enough gratitude points to complete the tasks assigned to her and Tuanzi by the Lord of the Unified Realm?
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue didn't want to delay for a moment. She told the seven village heads that she was going to the county to ask people to prepare food, and then she left in a hurry.
After seeing Li Mengyue leave, the seven village heads also left the Li family one after another. When they returned to the village, they rang the gong and called the villagers to a meeting to discuss the patrol team.
