I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

When they heard Li Lan's voice, it was as if they had heard the sound of nature. Suddenly, they sat up straight, full of anticipation.

"The main premise for this flood control effort is to do both things well," Li Lan emphasized.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the few people, seeing them looking at her in confusion, and explained, "One thing we need to do is to transfer food and personal property. Another thing we need to do is to unify the consciousness of the entire village, unite as one, and fight this flood together."

At this point, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes were sharp, and she said in a cold voice: "Those who disobey will be abandoned."

The few people who felt her fierce aura couldn't help but tremble. They thought to themselves: No matter who I mess with in the future, I must not mess with this girl.

"Next, I'll explain the specific steps. But before I do, I have two things I'd like to confirm with the village elders. First, can you trust me 100%? Second, can you hand over the management and coordination authority for this disaster relief effort to me?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Old man, I boiled some water for everyone."

When Li Hongwu heard the voice of his wife, he stood up, walked over to open the door, and took the wooden tray from her hand.

He carried the tray, walked to the table, and poured a bowl of water for each of them.

Li Lan picked up the chipped bowl in front of him, took a sip of water, looked at them with a smile, and did not urge them.

"There is no problem in our Lijia Village. Everything is up to you to arrange." Li Hongwu said without hesitation.

"It's the same in our village. If anyone has any objections, then just give up." Village chief Wang followed closely behind, vowing.

Village Chief Chen and Village Chief Liu looked at each other and quickly expressed their opinions.

Seeing that they could make a decision so quickly, Li Lan smiled and looked at them with admiration.

After waiting for a while, they didn't hear Li Lan's reply. They couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts and looked at Li Lan in panic.

"Oh, Lan girl, please tell us quickly, I'm almost dying of worry." Village chief Liu said anxiously.

Seeing the anxious expressions on their faces, she felt the situation was almost tense, so she said in a deep voice, "But I have a request."

"As long as you can help us get through this difficult time, I will agree to all of your requests, not just one." Village Chief Wang said nonchalantly.

"Yes, yes." The others nodded in agreement.

Li Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Actually, my request is very simple. That is, during my management, I require you to obey me absolutely. Can you do it? If..."

She stopped, and suddenly shot a sharp look at several people, and rang out in a cold voice: "If you can't do it, then life or death has nothing to do with me."

As soon as the words fell, the room became quiet, and even the breathing of the village heads became lighter.

There was a moment of silence.

Li Hongwu looked at the white hands of several old friends around him clasped in their laps, sighed inwardly, and thought to himself: This Lan girl is too imposing. Thinking of this, he winked at Li Lan.

Li Lan saw the resentful look in his village chief's eyes, as if he was saying: That's enough, take it easy, don't ruin these old bones.

She looked at the village heads' slightly trembling lips, touched her nose, coughed lightly, and said in a softer tone, "Is it okay, village heads?"

The few people who recovered said firmly that there was no problem.

"Okay, then let me tell you about our next arrangements. First, each village will be organized into extended families. All households that have split up will be merged back into the original main family, and the number of people in each household will be counted."

"Second, organize a 20-man defense team. Their mission is to go up the mountain and find a place that can accommodate everyone. It can't be deep in the mountains, and there can't be any trees within 50 meters. The location must be high and the ground must be solid. Once you've chosen the right spot, set traps around it."

"Third, organize the village's strong laborers to stabilize the main mountain, especially near farmland and houses. I'll explain how to stabilize it in detail later. First, pack the soil into bags. The more the better. Pile the bags near the water flow to form a protective wall. The higher the better. This area will put more pressure on Liujiawan. And finally, dig ditches to drain the water. Lijia Village must start this work as soon as possible."

"Fourth, organize the village carpenters and all the women in the village to come together to build tents. The material of the tents should be oilcloth. I will give you the tent drawings later."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the last sentence, because they really didn't know what a tent was.

"Fifth, the village doctors and herbalists should be prepared as much as possible and prepared in advance. If you need any herbs, come to me. Then, everyone will be divided into groups according to the number of families in their village and group leaders will be selected. After four days, everyone must move to the selected safe area. Food and financial resources can be moved in advance."

"Sixth, all activities organized by the above organizations must have one person in charge. If any problems arise, the person in charge will be directly held accountable. In Lijia Village, each person in charge of an activity can be directly elected to the village committee if they perform well."

Hearing Li Lan's words, Li Hongwu nodded seriously. The others all looked at him in confusion. Feeling their questioning eyes, he quickly lowered his head, frowned, and pretended to look at the map carefully.

When several people saw his appearance, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Bah, old bastard.

"Is there anything that the village heads don't understand or can't do?" Li Lan stopped, picked up the bowl and drank several sips of water.

"I have it." Village Chief Chen raised his hand, looked at a few people, and said weakly.

Li Lan signaled him to continue with his words with his eyes.

"It's that oilcloth. I guess there are only a few pieces in our village." Village chief Chen said with a worried look on his face.

After hearing what he said, the other people all sighed. They had the same problem.

Li Lan looked at their dejected appearance, thought for a moment, and said, "Then tell me how many households are there in your village if they are merged together? I'll try to make preparations here."

When they heard her say there was a way, they immediately became happy and started to report the number of households in their village.

"Okay, now that everyone has no questions, let me emphasize again: We must adhere to the fundamental principle and do both things effectively. Our first priority when we return is to use our eloquent voice to unify the spirit of this flood control effort. We must protect our homes without compromise. This is everyone's responsibility."

"Okay, okay, Miss Lan, we will definitely work together to overcome this difficulty, protect our homeland, and not give up an inch." Village Chief Wang's blood boiled when he heard this, and he promised loudly.

“Yes, it’s the same in our village.”

“It’s the same in our village.”

The other two village chiefs also vowed.

"Okay, but no matter what, we must protect ourselves first. People are the most important. Only when people are around can we have everything." Li Lan reminded.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

"Finally, let's talk about stabilizing the mountain. I have two items for stabilizing the mountain. As for their origins, there's no need to ask."

Several people nodded repeatedly, and now they didn't dare to ask more questions. They only knew in their hearts that if they followed her, they would have meat to eat, and they would do whatever she told them to do. It was right to listen to her.

Li Hongwu was watching the servile behavior of several people from the side. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Lan continued, "I will distribute these two items to each village based on the area of ​​the mountain that needs to be stabilized. I'll tell everyone how to use them. If there's anything you don't understand, please ask now."

She took out four tent production drawings, as well as drawings on how to use cement and landslide protection nets, and handed them to several people.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the map and said, "Set up another row of protective nets at the foot of the mountain for double protection."

Several people nodded in agreement. Li Lan went over the details with them again, and the seconds ticked by.

After everything was finalized, it was getting dark when they left. Watching them hurriedly leave, Li Lan turned to Li Hongwu and said, "Village Chief, it's time for us to act."

"it is good."
