However, if the problem is not solved, the project progress will slow down and will not meet Li Mengyue's requirement of completing the project within two months.
They were grateful to Li Mengyue and wanted to do something to help her from the bottom of their hearts.
But they didn't know what to do. Li Mengyue had no shortage of money or food, but they were still worried about having enough food and clothing.
During the time that Li Mengyue came to Xinghua Village, she indeed brought hope to countless villagers and improved everyone's lives.
Normally they couldn't help Li Mengyue, but when Li Mengyue proposed to build a reservoir and dig a river, they would naturally feel obliged to do so.
Besides, whether it is the construction of reservoirs or the excavation of river channels, it concerns the fate of future generations and ensures that everyone will no longer suffer from droughts and floods.
Before building the reservoir, although they were mentally prepared that it would not be easy, they found it extremely difficult when they actually started to do it, and there were many things they could not solve.
Not to mention other things, just at the very beginning, we encountered the problem of hard stones.
It's not that the villagers are unwilling to work, nor that they are lazy, but that everyone's tools are used in their daily work in the fields.
There is no problem in digging soil and weeding, but digging stones is not easy. After a day, the hoe blade is a little blunt and many iron spades are worn out.
If this continues, within ten days or half a month, all the furniture in the villagers' hands will be scrapped.
They were also worried about this matter, but they didn't want to cause more trouble for Li Mengyue.
They wanted to try to solve it, but it was too difficult and not everyone could buy the tools if they had money.
Because the imperial court had strict control over salt and iron, ordinary people would be allowed to buy iron pots, iron stirrups, hoes and other iron products if they wanted to.
But you can only buy in small quantities, and never buy in large quantities.
Of course, even if the imperial court lifted the restrictions and allowed people to buy as much as they wanted, no one would buy more.
After all, iron-related farm tools are very expensive, and it is already difficult for ordinary people to buy a set, so where would they have the money to buy extra ones?
For example, when building reservoirs and digging canals, everyone used tools from their own homes, but the stones were too hard and the wear and tear was too great, so the villagers could not afford it.
Even if you can earn ten yuan a day, if the farm tools at home break down after just a few days of work, it would be a waste of time.
The money I earned from working was not enough to buy a piece of furniture.
But the villagers also have to make a living, and they can't spend all the money they earn from work to buy tools.
After the seven village chiefs learned about this, they were also troubled. They wanted to solve it, but they didn't know where to start.
Unexpectedly, Li Mengyue had already considered this matter and came up with a solution, asking others to buy a lot of tools.
In this way, they don't have to worry that the villagers will treat them as tools and have no enthusiasm when working, which will further slow down the progress of the project.
There is also the issue of the hardness of the stone, and Li Mengyue also said that she would find a solution.
Although they didn't know what method Li Mengyue would use to solve the problem, they firmly believed that any task that was extremely difficult for them would be nothing in Li Mengyue's hands and could be easily solved.
At this point, the seven village chiefs were relieved and no longer worried about the hardness of the stones. They just waited for Li Mengyue to come up with a solution.
