Another point is that the existence of Xiao Jiantong is definitely a hidden danger. If Xiao Jiantong is not completely eliminated, it may explode one day, and the consequences will most likely be something she and Tuanzi cannot afford.
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue immediately stood up straight. She had already felt that the weather was getting colder rapidly, and there was even a freezing rain two days ago.
Although it didn't snow, I heard from experienced old people that they had never seen such a situation. It seems that many people have already noticed the abnormal weather.
Indeed, the weather was abnormal throughout the year. First, it rained in the spring when rain was needed, but there was only a few rains. Then, there was no rain for several months in a row. The earth became extremely dry and the crops in the fields were about to die of drought. If she had not led the villagers to the mountains to find water sources, the crops in several villages would probably have died due to lack of water.
The drought in the seven villages has indeed eased a lot, but other places in Qingshan Prefecture are still in drought and grain production has dropped significantly.
That would have been fine, but a large-scale locust plague broke out. Not only did the entire Yongkang Prefecture fall, but even Qingshan Prefecture was not spared.
If she hadn't prepared in advance, raised a large number of ducks, and started a business of frying locusts, she wouldn't have made the people of the Zhou family accept that locusts are edible.
After the locust plague came, she bought locusts at a high price, so that the people of Qingshan Prefecture not only did not suffer much loss from the locust plague, but also made a lot of money and had surplus food at home.
The Qi family of Qingshan Prefecture had finally survived the locust plague and thought they could live a peaceful life, but who knew that hundreds of thousands of victims would suddenly pour in.
The arrival of the disaster victims brought a great shock to the local people.
Fortunately, Xie Ruiyuan's status was high enough to suppress the officials of the entire Qingshan Prefecture. She had money and food in her hands, and she thought of a wonderful way to resettle the victims, which was to build a large-scale water conservancy project throughout the Qingshan Prefecture.
You must know that before she proposed it, no one dared to do this, even though everyone knew that the construction of the water conservancy project would bring great benefits to future generations.
But those in power would not do so. After all, for the ancient kings, building water conservancy projects would consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Not to mention the money, the manpower alone would be very difficult to obtain.
Because in a year of good weather, wanting to recruit hundreds of thousands of refugees all at once to build a water conservancy project would not only fail to leave a name in history, but would instead lead to eternal infamy. This is something no emperor with any brains would do.
However, the situation in Qingshan Prefecture in that year was rather special. The arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees provided the basic conditions for the construction of water conservancy projects.
Besides, Xie Ruiyuan also has the task of resettling refugees. It is extremely difficult, even impossible, to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees without money and food.
But Xie Ruiyuan never imagined that the woman he had a relationship with was not only pregnant, but also bound to a system that required her to complete tasks and collect enough gratitude points in order to survive in the Great Zhou.
It was with the right time, place and people that the water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture was built and a method for resettling refugees was found.
You should know that refugees who participated in building reservoirs and digging canals could earn ten cents a day and also receive a meal.
If there is no canteen in some places, they will give an extra two cents for food. With such good conditions, it is not easy to find such a good job even in normal years.
