Except for the seven village chiefs, every villager present also learned from the village chiefs that this winter will be very cold.
From now on, the villagers of the seven villages, in addition to making money by building reservoirs and digging canals, also have to prepare enough firewood.
But a new problem arises at this time. Even though there are many trees on the mountain and a lot of grass that can be used as firewood, it is still not enough if every household in the seven villages goes up the mountain to chop firewood.
It would undoubtedly be great news if there were other alternative combustible materials.
So the more than 300 people present all turned their eyes to Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue looked at everyone's eager gazes, and patiently repeated what she had said to the village heads before.
After hearing this, everyone cheered.
Seeing everyone so happy, Li Mengyue lowered her hands and continued speaking.
"The hill is mine. All three hundred of you are working for my family. Your wages are ten cents, and two cents for food."
After Li Mengyue said this, no one objected. They came to work not only to help make more honeycomb coal, but also to make money.
Before they came, the village chief had told them that their wages would be the same as those of the people who built the reservoir.
But even so, everyone rushed over because they all knew that Li Mengyue would not treat those who worked for her unfairly.
Even though the wages are the same, Li Mengyue might be in a good mood and cook a meal for everyone herself, which would make the villagers envious.
You know, Wang Erniu, Li Nian, and Li Yan often brag about how delicious the food Li Mengyue cooks is.
After talking so much, everyone in the seven villages now knows that Li Mengyue is a good cook and the food she makes is even more delicious than that made by restaurant chefs.
Li Mengyue talked about the wages, but she didn't notice that everyone came to work and came for her cooking skills.
She continued, "We must make enough honeycomb briquettes before winter arrives. You guys definitely aren't enough, so we'll continue to recruit people. But we'll wait until you all get started and I recruit more people to work on the reservoir."
"The honeycomb briquettes must be air-dried, but even after they've been air-dried, they still need to be protected from water. We also need to continue storing firewood. We can't treat firewood lightly just because we have honeycomb briquettes."
"Besides, honeycomb briquettes are not given to everyone for free. I want to sell them for money, two cents each."
When they heard the price of two cents per coin, many villagers frowned subconsciously and some even whispered to each other.
Li Mengyue has good hearing and can hear clearly what the villagers whispered. They just complained that it was too expensive.
But one thing that comforted her was that no one thought she should give it away to everyone.
She has always been unwilling to let the villagers develop a grudge against each other.
That's right, she not only has food but also money. Even if the villagers of the seven villages do nothing, the food in the space will be enough for everyone to eat for many years.
It doesn't matter if you run out of food. You can exchange two pieces of jewelry for a lot of food. You don't have to worry about food at all.
But if that's the case, then what does it mean? Does she have to support everything by herself? Absolutely not.
