Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 349 Selling Village Food at a Low Price
Another point is that she sometimes has a gut feeling that she is just a tool.
It was the Lord God who placed her in the Great Zhou Dynasty as a tool to save the suffering people.
Otherwise, why would she be given so many conveniences? When she was short of food, she bought a lot of food from the system mall.
Lack of money, oh, this she needs to find a way to earn it herself.
In fact, she has a lot of ideas about making money.
The fried locust business we had done before was just a small business and nothing insignificant.
Besides, the sale of fried locusts is time-sensitive. Now that the locust plague has passed, there are not many locusts in the fields.
Even if you want to do this business again, it won't work.
Some of her business ideas were almost ready.
For example, the tree bark that she asked the Gongsun family to collect was prepared for papermaking. It wouldn't be long before paper that surpassed this era would come out.
By then, she would be able to make a lot of money just from the paper business.
She just wants all the villagers to become rich and live a good life. It is not enough for her to make money by herself, she also has to find ways to get everyone to make money together.
Only in this way can we gradually get rid of the life of hunger and cold.
"Dear village leaders, I know that 20 kilograms of food may be too much for the village, and there are villages that cannot provide so much food."
"To solve this problem, I decided to take the food myself and sell it to the patrol team at a very low price."
When the seven village chiefs heard this, they all refused.
"Girl Yue, your money didn't come from the wind, so how can I let you take the food?"
"Yes, this is a village matter. You told everyone what to do, which is already very good. We definitely cannot let you provide food."
"That's right. Although our Taohua Village cannot provide food, our village will not take Miss Li's food."
Then other village heads also expressed their attitudes and were determined not to let Li Mengyue provide food.
Looking at the determined expressions of the seven village heads, Li Mengyue no longer insisted on her own ideas, but instead began to think seriously about how to better solve this problem.
Suddenly she had a brilliant idea.
"Dear village leaders, I have had someone stockpile a batch of food. The price is very low and can be sold to the village."
"Oh, the prices are extremely low, how low are they."
"Two cents a pound."
"Two cents a pound of grains is not very expensive, but it is not cheap either. After all, grains in town are only three cents a pound."
"Old Wang, you are too out of date. Don't you know that the price of grain has risen to eight cents per pound?"
"What, are you kidding?"
"Why would I lie to you? Before I came here, my son came back from town and said that the prices at the grain store in town had gone up a lot, and even then there were still many people lining up to buy grain."
"Hiss, the patrol team bought it from Miss Li, and it only costs two cents per pound."
"Village Chief Wang, I think you misunderstood. We didn't sell it to the patrol team, but to the village."
"Really...really?"
Seeing Village Chief Wang’s excited expression, Li Mengyue didn’t keep him waiting and nodded.
"Ah."
"If it's true as Miss Li said, that grains cost two cents per pound, then our Taohua Village would need 2,500 pounds."
As soon as Village Chief Wang finished speaking, all the village heads present looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
"Village Chief Wang, you don't have a fever, are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Two thousand five hundred kilograms, do you know how much that is?" Village Chief Zheng said.
"Go away, I am not confused about food."
Then Village Chief Wang looked at Li Mengyue with burning eyes, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue did not disappoint Village Chief Wang and said there was no problem as soon as she spoke.
"no problem."
"Okay, I'll go back and get the silver."
After getting a positive answer, Village Chief Wang was no longer willing to wait and just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.
When the other village chiefs saw this, they all frowned.
Village chief Wang, who was originally very happy, suddenly realized that the atmosphere was wrong.
Seeing everyone's ugly faces, he suddenly woke up, and the whole person was as if a basin of cold water was poured on him. The sun was scorching outside, but he felt cold all over and shivered suddenly.
"Miss Li, I was too abrupt. Don't take what I said just now to heart. Taohua Village will not buy 2,500 kilograms of grain."
Just as he was thinking about finalizing the patrol teams for the seven villages, he also had to go to the county government office to find Magistrate Yang and talk about the refugees.
If possible, she also wanted to sell some grain to County Magistrate Yang at a low price.
Who would have thought that Village Chief Wang, who was about to go back to get the silver just a moment ago, would regret the purchase in the blink of an eye.
However, she did not think that the Taohua Village office had no money. You should know that some time ago, not only Xinghua Village, but also the other six villages, Lianhua Village, Taohua Village, Shitou Village, Guihua Village, Meihua Village, and Zhoujia Village, every household followed suit to catch locusts, sold them for a lot of money, and also paid some to the village.
That is to say, the seven villages all have silver and money, it’s just a matter of how much.
Since Village Chief Wang just proposed to buy 2,500 kilograms of grain from her, the village office must have more than five taels of silver.
What's more, she sold it at two cents per pound, which was really cheap, one cent less than the usual price, and every village chief present would be tempted.
Now only Village Chief Wang stood up, but then he changed his mind. There must be something wrong.
But for a moment, Li Mengyue didn’t know what the seven village chiefs were thinking.
[Host, I know why Village Chief Wang regretted his decision.]
【Oh, how did you know. 】
【They said that themselves, it's none of my business. Village Chief Wang and the others all thought that you didn't have that much food, and with such a low price, you would definitely suffer a loss. It's also your credit that the food in the village was saved. If you hadn't led people up the mountain to bring water, even if there was no locust plague, the crops would have died of drought and they would have had no harvest if they only relied on carrying water, and they would have had no way to survive. Now, thanks to you, not only is there a bumper harvest, but every household has also made a lot of money by selling locusts. Although it's not possible for every household to have surplus food and money, and not have to worry about not having enough food and clothes, how can you pay out of your own pocket to subsidize them?】
After listening to the system's words, Li Mengyue knew that the system had heard the voices of the seven village heads.
She knew that her efforts were not in vain. She did not expect that the village heads would resist the huge temptation and would rather give up the food that could be bought at a low price than make things difficult for her.
She was deeply moved by the actions of the seven village heads.
But there is no need to do so. After all, there is enough food in the space to feed not only seven villages, but the entire Zhou Dynasty. There is no need for them to do so.
Of course, although it was easy for her to get food, it didn't come from the wind, so she couldn't give it away for free.
But she also knew that according to the current market price, even though many villagers had saved money, they couldn't buy much if they wanted to buy food.
