However, grain was just a means for Li Mengyue to attract merchants. Once more merchants knew that someone in Wuning County had a large amount of grain and the price was very low, there would be a steady stream of merchants coming to buy grain.
Li Mengyue's method is indeed very useful. You know, what is the most precious thing during a disaster is food. Most of the time, you may not be able to buy food even if you have money.
However, when the merchants arrived at Xinghua Village, they found that in addition to cheap and high-quality food, there were also honeycomb coal, cotton clothes and quilts, which made them see business opportunities.
The courageous merchants bought a large amount of honeycomb coal, cotton clothes and quilts from Li Mengyue without any hesitation, and transported them to other prefectures to sell.
The arrival of merchants also revitalized the economy of Wuning County and even Qingshan Prefecture.
You have to know that the ultimate goal of businessmen is to make money. If they see a way to make money, they will certainly not let it go.
Therefore, every merchant who came to Qingshan Prefecture brought a large amount of goods, and most of these goods were of good quality and low price, and were deeply loved by the people.
Before, hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into Qingshan Prefecture. These refugees participated in the construction of water conservancy projects, received daily wages, received enough land, and were allocated houses and fields. They rekindled their hope for life.
I work hard every day and want to improve my family's living conditions. I don't keep all the wages I earn, but use part of it to buy daily necessities.
As a result, Qingshan Prefecture had a very large market, and merchants also smelled business opportunities. The items they brought were all related to people's daily lives, and the prices were not expensive. Both local people and refugees could afford them.
As a result, the economy of Qingshan Prefecture was revitalized and people's living standards were much higher than before.
The goods brought by merchants would be almost sold out when they arrived in Qingshan Prefecture, so they would buy a lot of goods from Li Mengyue and sell them in other prefectures. They made a lot of money from this transaction, so Li Mengyue was also well-known among the merchants.
As merchants joined in, they took away a large amount of food, cotton clothes, quilts and honeycomb coal from the cities around Qingshan Prefecture.
Since the price was really not high, both ordinary people and local rich people bought a lot of it, so it really played a role after the arrival of the extreme cold Little Ice Age.
However, many poor people also suffered from the snowstorm, leaving them without houses to live in and food to eat.
Li Mengyue responded quickly and provided food and tents needed for disaster relief. Xie Ruiyuan also made timely arrangements to prevent the disaster from further expanding, and the people who had already been affected were properly resettled.
This is the only way to deal with all the disasters in the prefectures surrounding Qingshan Prefecture within just three days, so that we can come to Beiling City with peace of mind.
But even though they had prepared for the worst before coming, they didn't expect the situation to be so bad.
Although Xie Ruiyuan had already asked Qingxi to bring coal mine detection equipment to the northern border to survey the coal mines, and had people make honeycomb coal day and night and build kangs at the same time.
But although the idea was beautiful, it was difficult to actually put it into practice. When Qingxi arrived at the northern border, it was already snowing heavily.
Whether it is mining coal or building kangs, it is not easy. The progress is relatively slow, so the amount of honeycomb coal produced is not enough for the people in the entire northern border to use. There is no way to build kangs when it snows heavily.
Although merchants were asked to bring in food, cotton clothes and quilts, these could only alleviate the cold but could not solve the problem from the root. In other words, many people were still suffering from the cold.
As time goes by, the disaster will naturally become more and more serious. Therefore, Xie Ruiyuan's disaster relief work in the northern border not only takes a long time, but also consumes a lot of energy. Once Li Mengyue is about to give birth, he still has no way to leave.
Xie Ruiyuan couldn't leave. Li Mengyue wanted to go back to Xinghua Village, but Xie Ruiyuan stopped her, so she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
In fact, if Li Mengyue really left without caring about anything, Xie Ruiyuan would have no choice.
After all, Li Mengyue can reach Xinghua Village in the blink of an eye by using teleportation.
But when she saw the reluctance in Xie Ruiyuan's eyes, she really couldn't bear to leave.
Besides, Xie Ruiyuan was the first person she met on this planet, and also the first man she had met in two years. She had not known when she had put Xie Ruiyuan in her heart, and she cared about Xie Ruiyuan's joys and sorrows, and she also liked being with Xie Ruiyuan.
Because as long as she is with Xie Ruiyuan, she feels at ease.
She knew that no matter what happened, Xie Ruiyuan would protect her and would not let her get hurt. She was also very much looking forward to the birth of her baby.
Now Xie Ruiyuan has no way to leave Beiling City. How can she ignore Xie Ruiyuan's mood and go to Xinghua Village to give birth?
And she loves her baby very much, and she hopes that her mother will be by her side when the baby is born.
In addition, the conditions in Xinghua Village are indeed limited, and she is pregnant with quadruplets, a rare condition. Even if she can ensure that everything goes well during the delivery, she still has to face the problem of how to take care of the babies after they are born.
But how could she know how to take care of a baby? She couldn't count on her father Li An and her two younger brothers were so young, and Qing Ning didn't know anything either. So after much thought, she decided to stay in Beiling City as a servant.
After all, Xie Ruiyuan was in Beiling City, and Doctor Luo also stayed in the mansion on the grounds that she was about to give birth.
Xie Ruiyuan also sent a letter, asking Canren and Qingning to come to Beiling City from Xinghua Village.
The days passed one by one, and finally the day that Li Mengyue had been looking forward to and Xie Ruiyuan had been dreading arrived.
That day, Xie Ruiyuan accompanied Li Mengyue for a walk in the yard when Li Mengyue suddenly heard a "pop" sound in her ear.
She didn't take it too seriously and continued walking a few steps, but the more she walked, the more she felt something was wrong because she found that her pants were wet.
"Xie Ruiyuan, it looks like your water has broken and the baby is about to be born."
"What?"
Xie Ruiyuan's face suddenly turned pale and his hands shook violently, but he forced himself to calm down and picked up Li Mengyue without saying a word.
"Hurry, have the midwife prepare the foetus and call Dr. Luo over. The princess is about to give birth."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qing Ning was extremely panicked, but she also knew what she had to do, so she hurried to call the midwife and Dr. Luo Shen.
Fortunately, the midwife was kept in the house, waiting for the mistress to give birth.
Soon Li Mengyue was lying on the delivery bed. The delivery room had been prepared long ago and was warmly decorated. The four grandmothers were in the room, preparing to welcome the new life, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity.
