Li Mengyue's decision to let Village Chief Wang manage the money was also the result of careful consideration.

When she was discussing the construction of a reservoir with several village heads, she was multitasking. She learned the information of each village head from the system and got to know each village head's personality.

When assigning tasks, it is not done arbitrarily, but after careful consideration.

When she said that anyone who participated in the construction of the reservoir would receive ten cents a day in wages and a meal, I knew there must be an accountant.

Otherwise, distributing wages every day and doing statistics are not easy jobs. She doesn't want to get bogged down in tedious clerical work, so it would be better to find someone to do it.

Village Chief Wang was the person she chose. Not only could he read and write, he was also sensitive to numbers and had a natural love for money.

According to the system, in his spare time, Village Chief Wang likes to listen to the sound of copper coins hitting each other, which makes him feel extremely at ease.

When she heard this, she found it a little unbelievable. She didn't expect that there were people in the world who loved money so much.

The key point is that Village Chief Wang just likes to listen to the sound of silver and money colliding, and he is not a miser in the traditional sense.

Although he felt a little sad to see the money going out of his hands, he would not embezzle it.

Isn't this kind of Village Chief Wang exactly the accountant she was looking for? From now on, Village Chief Wang can hear the sound of copper coins every day, and can count money happily every day.

Li Mengyue's guess was indeed correct. Village Chief Wang was very satisfied with being an accountant and was very grateful to Li Mengyue for trusting him and entrusting him with an extremely important task.

When I counted money every day, the smile on my face never faded.

However, with the influx of refugees, the number of people building the reservoir increased, and the amount of money sent out every day was so huge that he had to count the money until his hands cramped every day.

When he first took over as accountant, he just wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

Paying wages to tens of thousands of people is not a job for human beings.

Even though countless silver coins passed through his hands every day, he no longer had the "excitement" he had at the beginning.

Li Mengyue saw that Village Chief Wang was doing a great job, so how could she allow him to "resign?" So she tried to persuade him with kind words, and only then did Village Chief Wang continue to work willingly.

These are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now. When Village Chief Wang left Xinghua Village and returned home, he found his old father and told him about the construction of the reservoir and his upcoming job as accountant.

After listening to this, Mr. Wang said "good" three times in a row.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Then he said to Village Chief Wang: "Son, your father has not achieved much in his life. Now you have an opportunity. If you seize it, your achievements will be recorded in the history books. Work hard and make the most of every penny. If I find out that you have done something wrong, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my son."

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"You don't know who your son is yet."

Seeing that his son was angry, Mr. Wang stopped joking.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Since Miss Li has given you such an important task, you really have to do it well. This concerns the villagers of seven villages."

"Dad, I know. I'll go get busy first."

"Wait a minute, you said Miss Li gave you one thousand taels of silver, show it to your father."

"Dad, didn't you tell me not to worry about the money for building the reservoir? What are you doing?"

"Get lost, you dare to question your father. Ahem, I just want to see what one thousand taels of silver looks like."

"Dad, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. You can't watch it now."

"What do you mean."

"It's like this, Dad. On the way back, I thought about it and decided that the villagers who worked should be paid in copper coins. How could I pay them out with 1,000 taels of silver? So I went to the Li family to find Miss Li and asked her to help me exchange some copper coins."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang suddenly became unhappy.

"Son, come here."

"What, Dad?"

Village Chief Wang walked up to Mr. Wang.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

"I'm going to hit you to wake you up. Miss Li is so busy every day, and you still ask her to help change copper coins. What do you want her to do? What do you want her to do?"

"Dad, Miss Li is very capable. It's not difficult for her to exchange for copper coins. I went to the town to exchange them, but I was afraid that I would be robbed if I brought so much silver."

"I told you you're stupid, but you're still unwilling. What's the new patrol team in the village for? They get 20 kilograms of food from the village for free every month. Is it free? Of course, we have to call them to exchange for money. If there are dozens of people going together, how can we be afraid of being robbed?"

"Dad, you are smart. I will go find Miss Li and get the money back. Ask a few people from the patrol team to go with me to exchange the money."

After saying this, Village Chief Wang left.

Mr. Wang, who was sitting on a chair, saw his son running away. He stroked his beard with his hand and laughed helplessly.

"Why are you running so fast? You're already a grandfather, and I'm not going to hit you."

"Grandpa."

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a childish voice ran to Mr. Wang and called out.

Looking at his well-behaved and lovely great-grandson, Mr. Wang no longer had the heart to care about Village Chief Wang's son, and focused on teaching his great-grandson to read.

Li Mengyue returned home, took out a pen and paper, and began to write down what she was going to do next.

Building reservoirs, markets, recruiting refugees, public canteens, papermaking, duck business, a small ice age, etc.

Li Mengyue looked at the things she had to do. Each one was very important and she couldn't give up or postpone any of them. She felt a sense of urgency.

[Host, you said you want to make Wuning the largest county in Da Zhou, how do you do it? ]

[This involves economics, which is a bit advanced, and I’m afraid you won’t understand what I’m saying.]

[Host, I feel like you are implying something about me. ]

[No, you heard it wrong, I was praising you.]

[Hehe, I'm going to play with the King of Kings. ]

Seeing the system's arrogant look, Li Mengyue's mouth twitched and she looked at the plan in her hand again.

It’s not that she didn’t want to talk to Tuanzi, but the matter was rather complicated and couldn’t be explained in a few words.

"Sister Mengyue, you came to me."

"Yes."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Yang Qiang, this is what I want to do. I want you and Uncle Yang to help me build a market. I will pay you the right amount, not a penny less."

"Sister Mengyue, look at what you are saying. If it weren't for your suggestion, my Yang family would still be living a life of hunger and hunger, let alone having money to treat my mother. My father said that as long as you have something to do, my Yang family will not dare to disobey you. How can I ask for money?"
