But their lives are only getting a little better. The key point is that they have just experienced a locust plague. If another natural disaster comes, they don’t know what will happen.
"Yue girl, let's notify the villagers to stock up on firewood. We must store enough firewood to keep warm before winter comes."
Having said that, the village chief stood up and walked out. Another village chief also stood up and prepared to ask the villagers to store firewood.
"Village leaders, please don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet."
At this time, the village chief and the other village chiefs stopped, especially the village chief who felt a little embarrassed. He just remembered what Mengyue said about drawing fifty people.
He was so anxious to get the villagers to collect firewood that he forgot this important matter, so he left again.
"Yue girl, I'm afraid I still can't agree to your suggestion of sending fifty people. We don't have enough manpower now, and if we lose another fifty, we definitely won't be able to complete the reservoir construction task. And now we have to get firewood, I'm afraid everyone won't even have time to sleep."
Mengyue looked at the village chief, then at the other village chiefs, and seeing that no one spoke up first, she agreed to select fifty people.
Then she realized that she had pushed the big guy too hard, which was against her will.
No, we can't keep going on like this. Otherwise, everyone will be exhausted and she won't have anywhere to cry.
"Grandpa Village Head, listen to me. If the fifty people we've selected really have something important to do, they'll be paid ten cents a day."
"Miss, this is not a matter of money. We are really short of manpower." Village chief Ji said helplessly.
"I'm aware of all this, and I'm already trying to figure it out. You don't have to worry about manpower. I'm afraid you might even think there are too many people."
"What do you mean, Miss? Why do you say that?" Village Chief Wang asked.
"Let me first explain why we need fifty people, and then I'll talk about the problem of having more people."
After hearing this, the seven village chiefs had no objection, although they had a lot of things to do.
But they knew that Mengyue was in control of the general direction, and they knew that if they wanted to live a good life in the future, they could only follow Mengyue's footsteps.
Anyway, they knew exactly when they had this belief, but once they were convinced that Mengyue was the one who could lead everyone to wealth, they no longer had any doubts or were unwilling to deny it.
Mengyue was concerned about the refugees at the city gate and didn't want to waste any more time, so she told him about the coal mine.
"Grandpa Village Chief, you know, I bought the small hill in our village and the land at the foot of the hill."
"Of course, the land deed was issued by my government. Not only that, the county magistrate also gave me an extra 500 acres of land."
After the village chief finished speaking, several village chiefs nearby took a breath. They knew that Mengyue had thousands of acres of land, but they were either wasteland or small hills. The small hills were planted with elm trees, and the wasteland at the foot of the hills was used to raise ducks. As for the 500 acres of land, it was said that they were all planted with medicinal herbs.
But even so, none of them took it to heart.
Because there are also a lot of wasteland in their village, no one has bought it, and it has been left overgrown with weeds. They also hope that someone will buy the wasteland in their village so that the village can increase some income. However, they also know that it is impossible, so they can only envy the village chief.
