Li Mengyue had no choice but to deal with someone like him. She couldn't force others to buy food at a low price.
What's more, even if she had such an idea, it would be impossible for her to put it into practice. Not to mention that she was pregnant and could not overwork.
Even the grain sold to various prefectures was brought there by merchants. It was impossible for her to follow the merchants one by one. Even if she had the ability to teleport, it was impossible for her to spend a lot of money on this.
She felt that there was no need to help someone who valued money more than life, so she just let him fend for himself.
In addition to food, Li Mengyue also sold honeycomb coal, cotton clothes, and quilts on the market. The price of honeycomb coal was two yuan per piece, but this price was only limited to the people and refugees in Qingshan Prefecture.
The purchase price for merchants doing business with Li Mengyue is also two coins per piece. If the goods are transported to other prefectures, the price can be determined based on the journey time, loss, and manpower and material resources, but it cannot exceed five coins per piece.
Because the price was too high and common people could not afford it, she had deviated from her original intention of making honeycomb coal to help common people in the extremely cold winter.
Li Mengyue felt that the preparations she had made were sufficient and she waited patiently for the arrival of the extreme cold mini ice age.
On the fifth day after the completion of the water conservancy project, not only Xinghua Village, but also the surrounding villages and even the sky of Qingshan Prefecture, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly turned gray.
Countless snowflakes fell from the sky at a rapid speed, interweaving into a huge white net. It looked densely packed, tightly wrapping everything within sight and submerging everything in endless white snowflakes.
And as the snowflakes fell, a biting cold wind also came with it, intertwining with the snowflakes, making people see a very impactful weather phenomenon, as if the world was trembling, making people feel both awe and shock.
The heavy snow started to fall at noon, and before dusk, there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground. Every step people took left deep footprints.
Faced with such heavy snow, the adults' frowns did not affect the children.
The children, who usually seemed very understanding, saw such heavy snow and could not help but run outside the yard to play in the snow on the road, regardless of their parents' advice. The sounds of falling snowflakes and cold wind blowing in the village were instantly filled with the children's laughter and innocent joy.
They played outside wearing the cotton-padded coats, gloves, and hats their mother had made for them at night. Even though their little faces were red from the cold, they still had an immense love and wonder for the snowflakes.
Li Mengyue knew that the entire northern part of the Great Zhou would be in an extremely cold mini ice age in the next few months, so she asked her father to bring Yu and Hao back from the academy.
At this moment, I was running on the snow with Zebao, Goudan, Tiechui, Beibei, Nannan and other children, leaving behind a series of footprints of varying depths, which looked like a simple painting drawn by nature.
Moreover, when Yu, Hao and the other children were chasing and playing together, they would sometimes bend down when no one was paying attention, grab a handful of snow, and throw it out suddenly. Then, in addition to the exclamations, there would be bursts of silver bell-like laughter that could be heard from far away.
Some children were playing snowball fights, while others were making snowmen. Regardless of the snowflakes and the cold, they rolled one big snowball after another and stacked them together to make the body and head of the snowman.
He went back home and asked his parents for a carrot to make the snowman's nose and some coal to make the eyes.
