Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Li Mengyue knew that what she said would make the village heads uneasy, so she didn't take Village Head Zhou's gaffe seriously and continued talking.

"Now that we have found the water source, we just need to clean up the river and bring the water down from the mountains to irrigate the crops in the fields. Of course, cleaning up the river is not enough, we also need to build a large reservoir. Only in this way can we ensure a stable harvest regardless of drought or flood."

The village heads, who were originally very excited, felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them after hearing what Li Mengyue said.

Bringing water down from the mountain was beyond their understanding.

If Li Mengyue had not grown up in a wealthy family and had not been knowledgeable, they would not have believed that water from the mountain could be brought down.

It was not easy to convince myself and the villagers to follow the footsteps of Xinghua Village.

But what no one expected was that before the water from the mountain was brought down, Li Mengyue dropped a "bomb" on everyone.

Not only the six village heads found it hard to believe what Li Mengyue said, but even Village Head Li, who had always supported Li Mengyue unconditionally, widened his eyes.

After a while, he digested the shocking news and said tentatively: "Yue girl, it's not that the village chief doesn't believe you, but whether it's cleaning the river or building a large reservoir, it's unlikely to be done."

Li Mengyue knew that if she said it out loud, it would cause everyone to doubt her, but since she dared to say it, she must have already made a plan.

"Village heads, please listen to me first. The water source on the mountain has a huge amount of water. We can use bamboo to draw some water down to solve the water shortage crisis. But this is only temporary. If we want the villagers to live a good life and not let the crops be affected by the weather, the river must be cleaned up. After all, when the river is unobstructed, in addition to solving the water problem, it can also bring people abundant food. Maybe Qingshan Town and even Wuning County will benefit from the water in the river."

"Can the river bring abundant food?" Village Chief Sun was very thoughtful and grasped the key point in Li Mengyue's words.

"There is nothing else to eat in the river except small fish and shrimps. Oh, no, there are also snails. I heard that Miss Li can make delicious food with snails."

In fact, this question was not only curious to the head of Guihua Village, but the other village heads sitting nearby also looked confused.

Village Chief Li thought of something, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he let everyone guess. Isn't that more interesting?

When Village Chief Ma and others saw Village Chief Li’s expression, they had nothing to understand, which meant that Li Mengyue did not lie to them, it must be true.

Since there is water in the river, there must be a lot of food, there is no doubt about it.

Besides, since Li Mengyue was able to distribute so much pork, it must be for the good of the villagers. Why should they worry about it?

The six village heads who had originally been skeptical about Li Mengyue's proposal to clean up the river immediately sat up straight and their attitudes became more serious than before.

"It's just that whether it's clearing the river or building a large reservoir, it's not a small project. Of course, if it's successfully built, it will definitely benefit future generations. I hope all the village heads will fully cooperate. Well, I've finished what I want to say. If you have any opinions, you can directly raise them."

"Miss Li, we old guys agree with what you say, but our Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village are relatively far from the river, and it is very troublesome to divert water. In this case, it doesn't make much sense whether the two villages participate or not, after all, they won't get much convenience." Village Chief Zheng said.

Village Chief Zhou nodded.

"Village Chief Zheng, don't worry. Since I raised this issue, I have come up with a solution so that Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village can also use the water from the river."

"any solution?"

"While cleaning the river, we also widened the river and then dug a path to Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village."

After saying this, Li Mengyue continued.

"Village heads, although widening the river will directly increase the difficulty, after doing so, even if Meihua Village and Zhoujia Village are far away from the river, they can still enjoy the many benefits brought by the river water."

Village Chief Ji and Village Chief Sun, who were about to speak, shut their mouths silently when they saw Village Chief Zheng and Village Chief Zhou both showed expressions of approval.

"For the two things proposed by Miss Yue, our seven villages must work together to do them so that everyone can enjoy the convenience. Do you agree?" Village Chief Li spoke at the right time.

"Do it." Village chief Ma was the first to express his opinion.

"I don't believe that even if Taohua Village agrees, we have nearly 4,000 people in seven villages and we can't do it." Village Chief Wang said confidently.

Next, the other village heads also expressed their attitudes. At this point, the river was cleared and a large reservoir was built, and the road was cleared, and the consent of the seven village heads was obtained.

Seeing everyone working so hard, Li Mengyue smiled. She was very touched to receive the support of seven village heads.

Because she knew that given the limitations of the times, both clearing the river and building a large reservoir would be huge projects.

Without the various tools of the post-era, it would all depend on manpower, and it would not be accomplished overnight.

But after she proposed the idea, none of the seven village heads objected.

"Then it's settled. Today I will lead people up the mountain and use bamboo pipes to bring water down to the fields first to prevent the crops from drying up. For those who don't go up the mountain, the children will continue to catch locusts, and the adults will clean up the debris in the river."

"As for the most massive project, building a reservoir, I'll talk about it after I've chosen a location and drawn up the blueprints."

After saying this, Li Mengyue went to the kitchen.

Mrs. Li had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her daughter to finish talking with the seven village heads.

"Mom, is the food ready?"

"Yueyue, I just made some porridge and a pot of pork stew. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, of course. My mother cooks delicious food."

Hearing her daughter praising her, Li was very happy and immediately served the porridge and dishes with great skill.

Li Mengyue took the lead in serving the dishes, and Li had no choice but to serve the porridge and bowls.

After Village Chief Li and his companions had discussed everything, they prepared to leave. After all, there were many things to do and they, the old guys, had no time to rest.

Just as I walked to the door, I saw Li Mengyue and Li coming over with food.

"Yue girl, we're leaving now, you guys eat first."

"Grandpa Village Chief, please stay and have dinner before you leave. No matter how urgent the matter is, it won't cost you a moment."

"No, I'd better go back and eat." Village Chief Li knew that the Li family had enough food and drink and didn't care about this little food, but they couldn't stay there shamelessly.

"Grandpa Village Chief, these meals are for you. Eat them before you go back to work."

Seeing that Li Mengyue really wanted to invite them to dinner, Village Chief Li knew that it would be bad to refuse again.

Besides, they will have to deal with Yue girl a lot in the future, and it would not be good if they were to be so polite every time.

"Okay, I'll shamelessly stay for dinner today. I've heard that your food is delicious. Come on, sit down, and let's all try it together."
