Just as Mengyue stood at the door, Xie Ruiyuan opened it from the inside.
"Ayue."
Xie Ruiyuan took Mengyue's hand and walked into the house.
"Ayue, please sit down. What are you doing here?"
"Can't I come to you if I'm fine?"
"Of course, you can come here anytime."
Mengyue just said it casually, but seeing Xie Ruiyuan answering her so seriously, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
But she still remembered that she had something important to discuss with Xie Ruiyuan, not just to chat.
"I came to see you for something very important."
Seeing Mengyue's serious expression, Xie Ruiyuan knew immediately that what Mengyue was talking about was not simple at all.
He also straightened his mind and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I forgot whether I told you that the water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture should be completed within two months."
"Ayue, the map you gave me was indeed very useful. We didn't need to send anyone to survey the reservoir's location; we could start construction right away. But the entire Qingshan Prefecture water conservancy project is no small undertaking. Even with the influx of refugees, it's unrealistic to expect to complete it within two months."
Xie Ruiyuan looked at Mengyue. It wasn't that he wanted to pour cold water on her, but he really wanted to build dozens of large reservoirs, dig through the entire river channel of Qingshan Prefecture, and connect it with the rivers in the south. This was definitely not something that could be done in just two months.
The reason why he adopted Mengyue's suggestion and carried out water conservancy project construction was that he thought that doing so would indeed enable the refugees to support themselves in the short term, and the government would not have to keep distributing porridge to the refugees, which would make the refugees take it for granted and become less diligent and lazy, thus defeating the purpose of providing relief to the refugees.
On the other hand, Mengyue has food in hand. Since the decision has been made to build a water conservancy project, and Mengyue has also raised this issue, why doesn't he go with the flow and do what Mengyue said.
But this does not mean that the refugees can work day and night. To put it another way, even if the refugees do not stop, it is impossible to complete the repairs within two months.
He originally wanted to complete the entire Qingshan Prefecture's water conservancy project in one or two days.
And he will stay in Xingyi Village until the water conservancy project is completed.
But he didn't expect that Mengyue would give him an outrageous time of two months to complete it.
To be honest, within his knowledge, this is an impossible thing.
But based on his understanding of Mengyue, he knew that she was not the kind of person who would say such things casually.
In other words, since Mengyue dared to say it out loud, it meant that she had a way to quickly build the project.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruiyuan asked directly: "Ayue, you said you want to finish it within two months. Is there any method or tool that can speed up the progress?"
"How do you know?"
"That's it."
Mengyue felt a little regretful after she finished speaking. How could she admit it directly?
But this is just a small matter, I'll just say it.
She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xie Ruiyuan's burning eyes.
But who is Mengyue? She immediately suppressed her shyness and started talking about business.
Xie Ruiyuan naturally noticed the blush on Mengyue's face, and suddenly felt that Mengyue did not have no feelings for him, but she hid it too well, so he did not notice.
In order to confirm what he was thinking, Xie Ruiyuan reached out and pulled Mengyue over.
"ah!"
