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

If it weren't for the locust plague this year, the able-bodied laborers in the village would have left long ago, and it would be hard to see any able-bodied laborers in the village.

After all, after the locust plague came, the villagers of the seven villages, unless they were too lazy, would make a lot of money from the locusts, so they were not in a hurry to leave.

However, a few people have made an appointment to go to the county in the next few days to see if they can find work and earn some money to supplement their family income.

They never expected that before they even went to the county, the village chief announced the construction of a reservoir.

Especially when the village chief said that he would get ten cents a day for a meal, it was like a boiling oil pan with water poured on it, and the oil splashed out with a crackling sound.

The village chief saw that everyone was talking and not even listening to him, so he understood why the villagers were like this.

Since they couldn't calm down for a while, Village Chief Li simply sat down and waited for the villagers' excitement to die down.

Since there were jobs that could make money in the village, no one went to the town or county to find work, and everyone stayed at home.

Even though the village chief said later that the wages were borrowed from Li Mengyue, the money earned from the market would be returned to Li Mengyue first.

The villagers don’t care at all. They just know that they can earn the same money as outside without going out, having to please others, or being bullied.

They all secretly made up their minds that they would do their best and not let everyone down.

Besides, after the reservoir is built, they will also need to use it for farming in the future. If there is no rain for several months like this year, the crops will die of drought. They can't just deal with it casually. Of course, they have to work honestly.

And it was only the first day, and some people were already secretly comparing themselves to see who had done more and who had done less.

People who do more work walk with the wind, while people who have less strength and do less work always feel a little guilty, thinking that they are paid such high wages but have not done much work, so they work harder.

Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but there are also people who are lazy at work.

However, such people are a minority after all. Most people are sensible and know how to work for money.

It is easy to deal with these lazy people. Just revoke their qualifications to work.

You don't have to go out, you can earn money at your doorstep, the wages are the same as those in the county, and meals are provided. No one will not cherish such good conditions.

When lazy people learn that they will not be allowed to work and will not earn any money, they will naturally stop being lazy.

Li Mengyue didn't know about these things. As the initiator of the reservoir construction, she only needed to grasp the general direction and assign tasks, and she didn't have to worry about the specific matters.

Only when a problem arises and the seven village chiefs come to her will she help find a solution.

However, Li Mengyue's saying "don't care" does not mean she will not care at all.

Strictly speaking, every penny that Village Chief Wang gives out now is her money.

And to be honest, she really had no idea how much money would be spent later.

But things have already been done, and there is no turning back. No matter what, she will insist on repairing the reservoir.

The reason why she decided to build the reservoir was closely related to her future plans.

In other words, the reservoirs of the seven villages were just the beginning. From the moment she decided to spend her retirement in Xinghua Village, she had the idea of ​​changing Xinghua Village.

She was very satisfied that Xinghua Village was a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. The villagers here were very kind. Even if there were a few ignorant people, she just regarded it as the spice of life and did not take it to heart.

Of course, the most important thing is that strength represents everything. She is not bragging. To kill a villager who provokes her is as easy as stepping on an ant. There is no need to put in any effort.

Even so, Xinghua Village must be made prosperous. However, it is not enough for Xinghua Village to be rich. This will easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives and become a thorn in the eyes of others.

She didn't want to have to deal with snakes, ghosts and gods on a daily basis. Besides, the surrounding villages and even towns were also developing, so life for her and her children would be much more convenient in the future.

In addition, she could help the disaster victims, collect enough gratitude points, and complete the task. She would not miss this opportunity to kill three birds with one stone.

But building a reservoir will undoubtedly cost a huge amount of money.

Because it was only the first day, she felt obvious pressure and needed to make money quickly.

The market is already under construction, but it will take some time before it can be officially put into use.

The key point is that even if the market is built, it will not be possible to make money for the village from stall fees in the short term.

Currently, her fastest way to make money is to cooperate with the Qian family.

Although she didn't know the specific strength of the Qian family, just from the tofu business, she could make a profit of 8,000 taels in just one month, which was beyond her expectations.

What's more, Qian Dongjie also said that tofu has not yet entered all the restaurants of the Qian family, only a small part of it.

In this way, when the Qian family starts doing tofu business in all restaurants, the share she can get will be more than 8,000 taels.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue was no longer opposed to handing the roast duck over to the Qian family. Anyway, if she wanted to start a food business in the future, she would not really do it herself. She would just look for partners directly and she would get a share of the profits.

When she thought about this, the system also raised questions, saying that she was not afraid of finding a partner who would turn against her after making money, and it would be too late to regret it then.

It's not like she hasn't thought about this kind of problem. Human nature cannot stand scrutiny. In the face of huge interests, there are countless cases where even the best of friends can turn against each other.

However, she had no concerns in this regard. Not to mention that she saved Qian Dongjie, even the things she took out might be a great way to make money for others, but she felt that compared with the countless ways to make money in her mind, it was really insignificant.

Even if the Qian family doesn't care about the next heir and breaks the contract when they make more money, she won't take it to heart. It's just one less source of income.

What's more, the Qian family's business can be so big, which is inseparable from the honest management. Businessmen of this era all believe in keeping their promises and keeping their words. Once they say something, it's like spilled water. No one will joke with his own reputation.

Merchant families like the Qian family attach great importance to contract promises, so she doesn't have to worry about the Qian family taking her secret recipe.

Also, after she cures Qian Dongjie, the head of the Qian family and Madam Qian will have a clear understanding of her medical skills.

She believed that no matter now or in the future, no rich and powerful person would want to offend a doctor with great medical skills.

After all, no one can guarantee when they will be able to see a doctor.
