Yang Zhijin didn't believe that Xie Ruiyuan didn't know what it meant. You know, the resettlement of refugees is not only closely related to Xie Ruiyuan's life, but also inseparable from him.
But he really couldn't believe that Xie Ruiyuan, such a grown-up, would actually listen to Li Mengyue.
Although he had previously guessed that Xie Ruiyuan and Li Mengyue were more than just acquaintances, there was also other relationship between them.
But he didn't expect that their relationship was so close that Xie Ruiyuan would hand over his life and property to Li Mengyue.
But after a moment's thought, he felt that he was thinking too simply, and probably Xie Ruiyuan had a better plan.
Forget it, why think so much? The most urgent matter is still the refugees. Only after the refugee problem is resolved can we talk about the future.
After figuring this out, Yang Zhijin was able to talk to Li Mengyue calmly.
"Miss Li, you know the situation of the refugees outside the city. Although the government can provide a certain amount of food to help the victims, it will not be enough for a long time. I want to ask if you have any good ideas?"
"Master Yang, you flatter me too much. I'm just a little peasant girl, but I could have such a great talent, capable of solving the problem of hundreds of thousands of refugees."
Hearing Li Mengyue say this, Yang Zhijin knew that Li Mengyue was not satisfied with what he said.
Yes, he had met Li Mengyue several times and knew that she was clear and concise in her words and deeds. He should not beat around the bush and should just state his purpose directly.
"Miss Li, I'll be honest. Xinghua Village and six other villages are working together to build a reservoir. This is no small task. It requires a lot of manpower and resources. It won't be completed in a day with only a few thousand people from seven villages."
"But if we add refugees, it will be different. Construction will be much faster. And as long as you use enough refugees, you can build the reservoir and dredge the river within two months. I believe Miss Li will not refuse such a good offer."
After listening to what Yang Zhijin said, Li Mengyue was a little surprised but also felt that it was reasonable.
He had always thought that Yang Zhijin was a good official who cared about the people, but he had never expected that for the sake of refugees, he would turn his attention to himself.
Although she had wanted to use refugees from the beginning, on the one hand, it would allow more refugees to achieve self-reliance and no longer rely on the government, and she and the system could also earn more gratitude points. On the other hand, the construction of reservoirs and rivers would better develop Xinghua Village and Qingshan Town, and even further cover the entire Wuning County.
But she didn't want to lose the power to act. After all, building a water conservancy project for the entire Wuning County was no small task. If she couldn't control the power to act, she would easily become passive in the process of doing this.
Before, she was thinking of asking Xie Ruiyuan to help her deal with the refugees, but now it seems that the refugees from Wuning County are no longer needed, so Yang Zhijin was found here.
As for the other six counties in Qingshan Prefecture, she had no way to deal with them. Only Xie Ruiyuan, who currently had the highest status, could handle them easily.
However, he still had to finalize the water conservancy project in Wuning County with Yang Zhijin first, and then he would talk to Xie Ruiyuan about the project in the six counties.
"Master Yang, how many refugees are there in Wuning County right now?"
"Nearly 40,000."
"Hiss~"
If Li Mengyue was mentally prepared, she would be a little surprised to hear this number, but after thinking about it carefully, she would understand.
