Chapter 442 Cheat Device
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 actually listened to Li Mengyue about such a big matter.
Although he had previously guessed that Xie Ruiyuan and Li Mengyue were more than just acquaintances, there were other aspects of their relationship.
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 when the refugee issue is resolved can we talk about the future.
After thinking all this through, Yang Zhijin was able to talk to Li Mengyue calmly.
"Miss Li, you also know about the refugees outside the city. Although the government can provide a certain amount of food to help the victims, it will not be able to sustain it for a long time. I would like to ask if you have any good ideas?"
"Master Yang, you flatter me too much. I am just a little peasant girl, but I have the ability to solve 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 clean and efficient in her words and deeds. He should not beat around the bush and should just state his purpose directly.
"Miss Li, I'll tell you the truth. Xinghua Village and six other villages are working together to build a reservoir. This is not a small project. It requires a lot of manpower and resources. It won't be completed by next year if we only rely on the thousands of people from seven villages."
"But if we have refugees, it will be different. The construction will be much faster. And as long as you use enough refugees, you can build the reservoir and dig the river within two months. I believe Miss Li will not refuse such a good thing."
After listening to what Yang Zhijin said, Li Mengyue was a little surprised but also felt it was reasonable.
He always thought that Yang Zhijin was a good official who cared about the people, but he never expected that he would target himself for the sake of refugees.
Although she originally wanted to use refugees, on the one hand, more refugees can be self-reliant and no longer rely on the government, and she and the system can earn more gratitude points. On the other hand, the construction of reservoirs and rivers can better build Xinghua Village and Qingshan Town, and even further cover the entire Wuning County.
But she didn't want to lose the initiative. After all, building a water conservancy project in the entire Wuning County was not a trivial matter. If she couldn't grasp the initiative, 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 because Yang Zhijin has come to her.
As for the other six counties in Qingshan Prefecture, she had no way to deal with it. Only Xie Ruiyuan, who had the highest status at the moment, could handle it 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 six counties.
"Master Yang, how many refugees are there in Wuning County now?"
"Nearly forty thousand."
"Sigh~"
If Li Mengyue was mentally prepared, she would be a little surprised to hear this number, but she would understand it after thinking about it carefully.
After all, the refugees who came to Wuning County were not only from Yongkang, but also from Guangping Prefecture in the south. The population of the two prefectures combined exceeded one million.
However, 40,000 people sounds like a lot. Once the plan was finalized and it was actually implemented, we realized that this number of people was far from enough.
"Master Yang, I wonder if you have ever thought about building a water conservancy project for the entire Wuning County."
When Yang Zhijin heard this, his first reaction was not to answer Li Mengyue, but to look at Xie Ruiyuan.
"Miss Li, I have no say in this matter."
"Master Yang, did I hear you correctly? You are the magistrate of Wuning County. It's up to you to decide what to do."
"Miss Li, you really think too highly of me. If it were some ordinary little thing, there would be no problem. But building water conservancy projects has always been a labor-intensive and costly matter since ancient times. It's not that no one has mentioned it in all dynasties, but it was never realized and ended up in nothing. And such a big thing is naturally not something that a small county magistrate like me can decide."
At this time, Li Mengyue had already understood what Yang Zhijin meant. It is not easy to build a water conservancy project. The manpower and material resources required alone are beyond the ability of the current Great Zhou to afford.
But these are difficult to do for the impoverished and weak Da Zhou. But with her, it is different. No, to be precise, it is different with the live broadcast mall.
After all, there are so many refugees now. If they are used properly, they can exert tremendous power.
If you just want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. Refugees are also human beings. They also need to eat, drink, make money, and support their families.
However, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of refugees were suddenly asked to join in the construction of the water conservancy project, and the amount of food consumed every day was not a small number.
Not to mention that the Great Zhou's treasury is empty now, even if the treasury is full and the granaries are filled with grain, it is difficult to support the construction of water conservancy projects.
Besides, for a country to function normally, it needs investment in other areas. How can all of it be used to build water conservancy projects? If that were the case, the country would not be far from chaos.
However, things are different with the live streaming mall. She and Tuanzi can accumulate more popularity and get more attention through live streaming, and then they can enter the sight of the mall administrator, so they will have the opportunity to exchange with the mall.
Fortunately, since the start of the live broadcast, she and Tuanzi have been working hard, their popularity has been rising, and they have successfully exchanged 100 million kilograms of grain with the mall.
The key is that the cost of exchanging so much food is very small, which is completely negligible for her. It is almost like giving it away for free.
However, she also knew that what she took out was nothing in the Great Zhou, but it had very important significance in the future civilized world.
It can be said that he used two pieces of jewelry to exchange for so much food, and the mall manager simply saw that these things had historical significance.
In this way, she and the mall can be said to be mutually beneficial.
With such a cheat, she was confident that she could successfully complete the water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture and connect to the canal in the south.
After all, there are so many refugees now and there is no shortage of manpower. As long as food and money are prepared, work can be started smoothly. It won’t take long before not only Wuning County has a new look, but the entire Qingshan Prefecture will also be completely renewed.
Once the river channel is opened and a dock is built, the number of ships coming and going will definitely increase, and more and more merchants will notice this place.
As long as there are merchants, there will be goods. The money earned by the refugees from building reservoirs and digging rivers can also be used to buy necessary daily necessities. With the circulation of money, the economy will gradually improve, allowing Qingshan Prefecture to develop better and better.
