But now they are talking about the lack of manpower and firewood problems. What's the point of talking about these things?
Except for Mengyue, all seven village chiefs in the field were confused. They didn't know what Mengyue meant by this.
But one thing is clear, that is, Mengyue would not do it without a purpose, there must be a reason.
Sure enough, Mengyue's next words verified their guess.
"I bought a small hill and planted fruit trees on it. However, during the planting process, a small incident occurred. The hill suddenly collapsed in one place, revealing black rocks inside."
Mengyue said that only the village chief knew all this. The relationship between the other six villages and Xinghua Village at that time was not as "close" as it is now, so they naturally didn't know what was going on.
However, although they were curious, they did not ask directly, but waited for Mengyue to explain herself clearly.
At this time, Mengyue continued, "Those black stones are coal, something that can be burned to keep warm."
Having said that, not only the village chief, but also the other six village chiefs understood Mengyue's meaning.
Ten people were selected to dig coal blocks to use for heating in winter.
But they knew that the hilltop was theirs, and no matter how much coal they could dig out, it would have little to do with them.
No, they can buy it.
"Yue girl, what you said is that you want people to dig coal blocks and use them in winter."
"That's right, but the hill is my personal property. I'll pay for the ten people working on it. As for the people repairing the reservoir, I'll find more people and try to ensure it's completed within two months."
"Okay, Yue girl, I feel relieved with your words. But Yue girl, can the black coal you mentioned really be used for heating?"
It’s no wonder that the village chief asked this question. In fact, he had seen those black stones before, but they were just black in color. There was no way they could be related to firewood.
Don't wait until the work is done and a lot of coal is dug out, but it can't be burned. That would be useless.
And Mengyue would give out money every day, ten taels per person, ten people would get a hundred taels, and two days would be one tael of silver, which was not a small amount.
Even if Mengyue has a lot of money and is a wealthy owner, she can't do this.
Mengyue knew what the village chief was thinking just by looking at his expression. At this moment, her heart was warmed, and she was glad that she came to Xinghua Village and met a group of lovely villagers.
Just like the current village chief still considers wasting her money, but who is she to spend it wisely?
"Grandpa Village Chief, don't worry. Coal can indeed burn and is suitable for use in winter. It doesn't produce as much smoke as firewood, and you can use it to boil water, warm yourself, cook, and so on."
"Miss, if the coal you mentioned is really that useful, we won't have to worry about it no matter how cold this winter is. How much do you tell me about the price? My family wants to buy more."
"I want to buy one too. My mom has terrible leg pain in the winter. It would be better if the house was always warm."
Then several other village chiefs also expressed their willingness to buy to Mengyue.
Mengyue didn't expect that someone wanted to buy it before she even started. This was a good sign.
