In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.
Chapter 100 Material Exchange
Someone swallowed hard. "Is it something like compressed biscuits and hot pot?"
"Will you also give me milk and that very sweet elixir?"
The registrar was the most composed of them all, raising his hand to interrupt their questions.
"Miss Mianmian, normally digging up vegetables or trees would be easy, but with this heavy rain, it might not be so easy to dig. Won't that delay the fairy's business?"
Jiang Mianmian secretly praised him; this registrar was quite eloquent.
It was clearly because it was raining and it was difficult to dig, but they directly said it was because they were afraid of digging badly and delaying the fairy's business.
"The rain should stop soon, and you've probably used up quite a bit of food, so it's time to replenish it."
Shi Yi's breath hitched. No wonder Miss Mianmian and the fairy took away the 80,000 shi of grain; they were planning to use it for this! They were thinking ten steps ahead for every step they took—truly different from them! Amazing!
The others were drawn in by her first question: "It's going to stop soon? Are you serious?"
"The rain was getting lighter and lighter, and it was indeed about to stop."
Jiang Mianmian had just nodded when a gasp came from outside.
"The rain has stopped! That's great!"
"Ah! It really stopped! My crops, I need to go check on my land!"
However, cries of agony soon followed. Qingbao Village was not submerged, but it was only barely survivable for the people there.
The fields had long been destroyed beyond recognition.
The atmosphere in the room froze again, and the joy that had just risen quickly dissipated.
Shi Yi encouraged everyone, "At least we're still alive, there's always a way to solve this."
Moreover, that's 80,000 shi of grain, enough to feed these people for three or four months. If they're careful with their food, it could last for half a year!
By then, they will have surely arrived at a suitable place and settled down.
The registrar nodded. "What Miss Mianmian said seems feasible. The fairy is kind and benevolent. Even if we don't provide food, I believe everyone will be happy to help."
"Registrar, please stop with the bureaucratic talk. If you all think it's acceptable, go back and discuss it with the team leaders so we can finalize it as soon as possible and everyone can have a hot meal sooner."
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian said, "Besides rice and grains, you can also exchange many daily necessities with me, such as clothes, shoes, socks, fabrics, pots and pans. Fairy has prepared them all for everyone."
With these things, the journey will be much easier!
The group regained their enthusiasm. They left Shi Yi there to discuss the specific exchange process and rules with Jiang Mianmian before leaving the village.
These repeated trips drew the attention of the villagers of Qingbao, who kept peering over their shoulders. "What's going on? That girl looked unremarkable, but why is she so impressive? Why are all these people following her around?"
"Hmph, a vixen has bewitched them all!"
The one speaking was Feng Qian, the small-eyed man and leader of the refugees, who had already received the news.
"What's wrong? What do you know? Why are you calling her a witch?"
A group of people gathered together to listen to Feng Qian tell the story of the demoness.
Inside the room, Jiang Mianmian took out the exchange details she had written for the First Cave, saying, "We can rewrite one based on this one."
After all, everyone in the first cave is considered one of our own, so the rules are quite lenient.
But this is a group of tens of thousands of people; being too lenient would be counterproductive.
Shi Yi didn't dare to ask any more questions. While copying, she discussed with Jiang Mianmian, "These points should be increased by at least three times."
"Okay, you can decide what to do. If anything is missing, just let me know and I'll get it."
Shi Yi nodded. "It's pretty complete. By the way, are there any carts or anything like that? And do you still have the kind of water you left me before?"
Human resources are limited, so we still have to use vehicles.
"There are some, but not many, and some of them are old."
Jiang Mianmian recalled the various tools that had been repaired in Taoyuan, "There are also farm tools such as shovels and sickles. Participants can pay a deposit to receive one, and then return the deposit after earning points."
"That's a good idea."
The two of them each wrote a sentence, and soon the prototype was written out.
Just then, the clerk and his colleagues brought back good news: "Upon hearing that the fairy was offering her help, they were all very enthusiastic, and since the rain had stopped, everyone was in a good mood."
"A small team lost a lot of food, and we don't know what happened."
Jiang Mianmian didn't respond to this. She had already given away the items as much as she could. As for whether she could protect them, that was her own business. Besides, with people from the county government there, they would investigate the case.
The man only muttered a few words before looking at what Shi Yi had written with delight, "You can exchange all of these?"
"Correct."
Shi Yi nodded. "Take a look, everyone. Is there anything else to add? Is this point system reasonable?"
After everyone read it, a few more comments were added.
Everything was within a reasonable range, so Jiang Mianmian agreed.
Village Chief Liu, who had been responsible for serving them tea and water, couldn't help but ask, "Is what you're saying true? Can the villagers in our village participate?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Mianmian.
That is a problem. Those 80,000 shi of grain are the reserve grain of Fengshui County, and they shouldn't be given to them in principle.
However, she still had a lot of stock in her warehouse, which could make up for this.
She was a little conflicted, so she simply pushed the matter to Magistrate Ye, saying, "Then you'll have to discuss it with Magistrate Ye. I don't really care."
"Okay, okay."
Since there was no direct refusal, it meant there was hope. Village Chief Liu was delighted. Unlike yesterday, when he was annoyed by the group of people who had suddenly barged in, he was now eagerly hoping that Magistrate Ye would return soon.
Isn't it easier to do such an easy job as digging up grass and trees than to buy expensive grain in the city?
Magistrate Ye didn't linger for long and soon returned on horseback.
Upon seeing Jiang Mianmian, his expression changed drastically, and he almost knelt down and cried out, "Don't take my dog's life!"
Jiang Mianmian quickly coughed twice, "Magistrate Ye, I have something good to discuss with you."
"Ah, no, I don't mean... Ah, okay, okay."
Magistrate Ye wiped away a bead of cold sweat and forced a stiff smile. "What is it?"
Shi Yi showed him the things and explained them carefully again, "Now we just need to wait for you to come back and make the decision, then we can get started."
"This is great news! Excellent! Go quickly and make the arrangements!"
Magistrate Ye was just thinking of buying some rice, but that old devil from Hong'an County, so cunning, quoted an exorbitant price!
Now that the fairy has arrived, it's like a godsend!
Everyone hurried out of the village to prepare, and Village Chief Liu looked pitifully at Magistrate Ye, "Can we participate?"
What do you think, fairy?
Magistrate Ye pulled Jiang Mianmian aside, "Isn't it too lenient to let them participate like this?"
"Look at you."
Jiang Mianmian repeated what she had just said.
After thinking for a while, Magistrate Ye said, "How about we increase the points for people outside Fengshui County, and prepare a few rooms for us to rest?"
"Alright, prepare three rooms for me to store supplies."
That way, she won't have to get the minibus out anymore.
Having received permission, Village Chief Liu hurriedly ran out, banged the gong, and gave a speech.
Suddenly, someone started shouting, "Village chief, are you trying to kill us? You actually believe what that witch says?"
"That's right, you dare to take something from a vixen?"
