This is the case with the villagers of Xinghua Village. Before Li Mengyue came to Xinghua Village, during the slack season, villagers wanted to find work in the town or county, but they might not be able to find one even if they tried their best.
Even then, the highest payout was only ten cents. If you ran into a stingy host, they would always find ways to deduct your money, and you would end up working yourself to death to earn just a tiny amount of money.
Not to mention the meals, there was no such thing as meals when working outside. We had to bring steamed buns and other dry food from home, and drink water. Sometimes we would be extravagant and spend a penny to buy a bowl of hot soup.
It can be said that when the refugees heard the news that Qingshan Prefecture was building a water conservancy project, they cried with joy, and basically no refugee refused to do it.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are also particularly lazy refugees who are unwilling to work but just want to get paid.
However, Xie Ruiyuan would not tolerate such refugees. Although he did not directly drive them out of Qingshan Prefecture, he would not provide any help.
In the past, porridge was distributed every day, but since the start of the campaign, the porridge distribution has stopped. If the refugees want to have enough food and survive better, they must work.
And only those who perform well can get the A grade. After accumulating enough A grades, they can be allocated houses and land. After three grades, the land will belong to the refugees.
In this way, the refugees who were unwilling to work had to join in the construction of reservoirs and digging of canals. With enough refugees, tools provided by Li Mengyue, and explosives prepared by Xie Ruiyuan himself, the efficiency was directly improved, and the refugees did not feel so tired when working.
Now, the construction of the water conservancy project in the entire Qingshan Prefecture is nearing completion. It will be completed in more than half a month. During this period, the gratitude value has increased every day and has now reached more than 50 million. I believe that after the water conservancy project is completed, there will be another wave of gratitude value.
Although the amount of gratitude points she gained from helping refugees was large, it was still some distance away from the total goal of 100 million. She must not relax in the future regarding the extreme cold mini ice age and must take it more seriously.
After all, the baby is still more than three months away from being born. Once the baby is born, she will focus most of her energy and time on the baby, and will not have so much time to help the poor and gain more gratitude points.
Time seemed very tight now, so she couldn't waste it on unimportant people and things.
And for the sake of Tuanzi and to avoid being discovered by Xiao Jiantong, she could not confront Yun Ran head-on for the time being.
The most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the coming of the extreme cold Little Ice Age, so that we can provide help to more people and ensure their safety during the three months of hunger and cold. We need to collect enough gratitude points to reach 100 million, and by then the baby should be born.
Even if she met Yun Ran and Xiao Jiantong discovered Tuanzi's existence, it didn't matter because she and Tuanzi were no longer afraid of anything.
After all, Tuanzi's functions had been restored by then, and he was one of the three true strongest rulers in the world. He was not comparable to the little villain hiding in the stinky ditch.
If Tuanzi and Xiaojiantong confront each other head-on, he will definitely defeat Xiaojiantong in seconds.
Thinking of this, Li Mengyue straightened her expression and spoke to Xie Ruiyuan seriously.
"I believe you've noticed that the weather is getting colder. In about half a month, the entire northern part of the Great Zhou will enter a period of extreme cold. If the people don't have enough cold-weather supplies, they will most likely not be able to survive and freeze to death."
