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

At this time, Village Chief Wang and several other village chiefs hurriedly greeted Li Mengyue and pushed Village Chief Li aside.

"Alright, alright, look at your fawning faces, how can you still act like the head of a village?"

"Oh, Lao Li, don't be so ungrateful. Miss Li is from your Xinghua Village. You will get any benefits first. You don't have to be like us."

"That's right. If you ask me, Miss Li should be from my Stone Village. If this happened in our village, we would never let Miss Li suffer any grievances."

When Village Chief Li heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

"Village Chief Ji, please just say what you want to say. Why are you attacking me personally? Tell me what wronged Miss Li in our village. I won't accept this unless we make it clear today."

"You need me to explain it clearly, but you already know it. Whatever you ask me to say, I won't say it. Humph!" Village Chief Ji crossed his arms across his chest, turned his head to the side, and became stubborn.

Several village heads who were greeting Li Mengyue immediately noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and stopped talking. They looked at each other, all with confused looks on their faces.

For a moment, the village chief's yard was so quiet that you could hear the sound of needles.

Faced with this situation, Li Mengyue was also very confused. How could she know that just by sitting there and not saying anything, Village Chief Li and Village Chief Ji would start a quarrel because of her.

She came to see the village chief and called the other six village chiefs over, not because she wanted to see them sulking and arguing like women, but because she had something important to tell them.

"Cough cough!"

"Yue girl, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, we have all experienced the locust plague together. I believe that the seven villages have established a deep revolutionary friendship. No matter what happens, we will all stand together, not quarrel like we are now. Of course, quarreling occasionally can also enhance our relationship."

Village Chief Ji smiled and said, "Tsk, who wants to have more feelings for him?"

However, the tense situation was broken up and the atmosphere became lively again.

Although Village Chief Li did not know why Village Chief Ji said those words, based on his understanding of Village Chief Ji, he knew that something must have happened, otherwise she would not be so disrespectful to him and say such words.

But he also knew that since Village Chief Ji was unwilling to say it clearly, he must have his reasons. The most important thing right now was to see what was wrong with Miss Yue.

Li Mengyue saw that the seven village heads were sitting upright, like primary school students in class, and thought that they didn't need to be so serious.

But the serious expressions of the seven village chiefs made her subconsciously cautious.

So Li Mengyue again proposed the issue of building a reservoir to the seven village heads.

"Ah, we really need to build a reservoir!" said Village Chief Ma.

Then Village Chief Wang said, "We have water brought down from the mountains now. It doesn't matter if it doesn't rain for a few months. There's no need to build a reservoir."

Village Chief Sun of Guihua Village also echoed: "It will take more than a day or two to build a reservoir. How can we build it?"

"I say, Miss Li just said one sentence and you guys denied it one after another. What do you mean?" Village Chief Ji said bluntly to the three suspicious village chiefs.

"Okay, what's the point of arguing here? Let's listen to what Miss Li says first. I believe that since Miss Li has brought it up, there must be some rules. Those of us who don't understand it just need to be obedient and obey." Village Chief Zheng stood up and said.

"Yes, yes, yes. Everyone knows the importance of the reservoir. I said this because I don't know what to do. Let's see what Miss Li says first."

So the seven village heads all turned their attention to Li Mengyue.

Li Mengyue had seen countless big scenes, and at this moment, there were only seven village chiefs looking at her, and she didn't think it was a big deal at all.

In fact, the seven village heads bought a lot of food from Li Mengyue at a low price just two days ago, and everyone was grateful to Li Mengyue.

They agreed in their hearts with Li Mengyue's suggestion to build a reservoir.

After all, they also know the importance of reservoirs. As long as there are reservoirs, even if there is a drought in the future, they can ensure a good harvest of grain in the fields.

There is no need to worry about floods. With a reservoir, we naturally need to dig ditches. The excess water in the fields can be drained out through the ditches, so that there will not be too much water in the fields and the crops will not be drowned.

However, they had no experience in building reservoirs, so even if they wanted to, they wouldn't know where to start.

"Miss Li, it's not that we don't want to build the reservoir, we just don't know how to do it."

"Yes, we have never even seen a large reservoir. We have no experience at all!"

"Repairing the reservoir requires manpower and food. How can we do this?"

"There are also questions about where to build the reservoir and how to connect the seven villages."

When Li Mengyue saw that she proposed to build a reservoir, the seven village heads did have doubts at first, but they were also quite sober and knew they couldn't handle it, so they asked Li Mengyue for advice.

Li Mengyue originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince the seven village heads, but unexpectedly things went more smoothly than she imagined.

The most important issue at the moment is not to get the seven village heads to agree to build a reservoir, but to solve the problems raised by the village heads.

"Village heads, building a reservoir is not a one-day job. It does require a lot of manpower and material resources to be successful. But once the reservoir is built, we won't have to worry about the harvest in the next ten or even dozens of years. It will benefit future generations."

Even if Li Mengyue didn't say any of this, the seven village heads knew it all clearly.

Ever since Li Mengyue mentioned building a reservoir, they have taken this matter to heart.

However, due to the locust plague, we had to deal with the plague first and the construction of the reservoir had to be postponed.

It is autumn harvest now, and there is not much to do in the fields until next year's spring plowing season.

In previous years, able-bodied laborers would go to towns or counties to find work, earning some money to supplement their family income.

This year is different. Refugees have come to the county, and it is already difficult to find jobs, and now it has become even more difficult with the addition of refugees.

After all, most of them are willing to work for food, and the competition is fierce. Their village is not short of food for the time being, so there is no need to compete with the refugees.

This is a good time to build a reservoir.

Li Mengyue's original plan was to gather the strength of seven villages to build a large reservoir and divert water from the deep mountain water source into the reservoir.

But the arrival of refugees made her change her mind.

The reservoir needs to be built, but more river channel excavation will be needed. It would be best if the entire Qingshui River could run through Wuning County.

In this way, Wuning County will definitely undergo a major change within three to five years. Even if the entire nation cannot achieve a well-off life, at least every household will be able to have enough food and warm clothing.
