And even though she chose Xingying Village as her retirement home, it didn't mean she wanted to worry about everything in the village.
If she were to be in charge of Xingxi Village and all the people in the seven villages, then what would be the point of having a village chief?
So she also guided the seven village heads and asked them to use their brains to find solutions. Although the seven village heads could not think of so many things and could not think of solutions as simple as Mengyue's, it did not mean that they were stupid.
As the saying goes, old people become wiser. Although Mengyue didn't say it openly, after they understood what she meant, they indeed visited her less frequently.
Many of the minor, harmless things were solved on their own as they watched.
Of course, if they really encounter a big problem that cannot be solved and it will seriously affect the progress of the project, they will still come to Mengyue without hesitation.
Mengyue saw these changes in the village heads and was very pleased. She felt that things would be much easier in the future.
As expected, the seven village heads visited Mengyue less and less frequently, and later on, they didn't visit her for ten days or half a month.
But this does not mean that there are no problems. Rather, if problems arise, the village heads will find ways to solve them on their own.
However, the knowledge of the village heads is limited. It does not mean that they can think of a solution to every problem. They will seek opinions from other people in the village and brainstorm. It seems that very difficult problems that previously required Meng Yue to step forward to solve can now be done by themselves.
As a result, the village chief and villagers have a greater sense of accomplishment, feeling that they are not just dirt diggers who make a living.
For example, the sudden heavy snow this time, several village heads and villagers knew about it. After all, Mengyue had hinted to them long ago. Whether it was selling food, cotton clothes, quilts or honeycomb coal, everyone knew it was to prepare for winter.
But if the winter of 2018 was the same as in the past, they believed that Mengyue would never take out so much food, cotton clothes and quilts, and hire so many people to make honeycomb coal.
You should know that there were only dozens of people digging coal and making honeycomb coal in the beginning. Later, the team kept expanding until it reached an astonishing 2,000 people.
Just imagine, more than 2,000 people are digging coal and making honeycomb coal. How much honeycomb coal can be produced every day?
Even so, it is still out of stock.
Every day, there are endless streams of merchants coming and going in Xingyi Village. Some do grain business, some do cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and quite a few do honeycomb coal business. However, tens of thousands of pieces of honeycomb coal are sold out every day, which shows how popular honeycomb coal is.
People have anticipated the cold winter, and seeing that honeycomb coal is sold so cheaply, they will try to stock up as much as possible. Besides, honeycomb coal can be used for heating and boiling water for cooking, which is more energy-saving and labor-saving than using firewood.
The village chief and villagers were well aware of the heavy snow this time, so there were not many casualties and the damage was not great.
But a problem arises, that is, the collapsed and crumbling houses are definitely uninhabitable, which means that hundreds of thousands of people will have nowhere to live. This is only the first day of heavy snow, and it is unknown how long it will last, and how many families will not be able to withstand the snow in the future.
Then we have to find a way to relocate these villagers who have no houses to live in. We can’t just let them stay in the snow forever.
