Of course, if you want Wuning County to develop gradually, it is not enough to do this alone. You need to continue to dig river channels, preferably connecting them with the rivers in the south.
In this way, traffic between the north and the south will be much better, it will be more convenient for businessmen to come to Wuning County to do business, and the economic development of Wuning County will be accelerated.
But these were not things a peasant girl like her could do, and asking County Magistrate Yang for help was probably a bit risky.
However, these measures cannot be implemented in the short term. We should seize the present moment and see how to benefit the refugees and help them repair the reservoirs and dredge the rivers.
"Don't worry, village heads! I've already found a location for the reservoir. We'll just have people digging up the mountain."
"In order to expedite the construction of the reservoir, each village must work together and recruit refugees based on their actual situation. But the refugees are welcome, so don't worry about them. I'll take care of it myself."
"Girl Yue, just tell us, we old guys will cooperate." Village chief Li was the first to express his opinion.
"Hello, Grandpa Village Chief. I have a map of Qingshan Town with the reservoir address marked on it."
The moment Li Mengyue took out the map, all seven village chiefs stood up and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god, this can't be the map of our town."
"Why not? Haven't you seen Taohua Village?"
"Isn't this like shrinking the entire Qingshan Town and putting it on a piece of paper?"
"Yeah, how do you do this?"
After Village Chief Zhou finished speaking, he felt very embarrassed. How could he ask about such a secret?
Li Mengyue saw that Village Chief Zhou was embarrassed, but she didn't mind. It was just a map.
"The most important thing right now isn't a map, but reservoir construction. Village heads, look here! I've put the reservoir's address here. Once it's completed, water can be diverted to the Qingshui River. The seven villages will also dig canals to divert water to each village. This will ensure a bountiful harvest, regardless of drought or abundant rain."
The seven village heads looked at the map and listened to Li Mengyue's explanation. Everyone knew very well how to build the reservoir next.
But Li Mengyue knew that it was not enough to just let the village chief know these things. If they wanted to successfully build the reservoir in a short period of time, they needed a precise division of labor.
This way, there will be no confusion when doing it.
"Grandpa Village Chief, our village is responsible for clearing the weeds on the road from the foot of the mountain to the reservoir. We need to clear a path first to make it easier for people to go up the mountain."
"Hello, Yue girl."
"Village Chief Ma, I remember there are large rocks on the hill behind your village. Your village collects rocks, so we will buy them at the price of one penny per ten pounds."
"What! Wait a minute, Miss Li, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Could you please say it again?"
Not only Village Chief Ma, but also the other six village chiefs were all shocked.
To be honest, it was Li Mengyue who said something that made them unable to believe it.
"Yes, Yue girl, you're giving me money for building the reservoir."
Village chief Li asked in confusion, which happened to reflect the thoughts of every village chief present.
Li Mengyue saw the disbelief on the faces of the seven village heads, and only then did she realize that she seemed to have overlooked a big problem.
That is to build a reservoir, but it costs money.
According to her idea, building reservoirs in seven villages would not be completed in the short term.
Once the reservoir is built, the seven villages will be free from floods and droughts, and they will no longer have to rely on the weather to ensure a good harvest of crops.
Not only did she say these benefits, but all the villagers in the seven villages were aware of them.
