Chapter 457 Take Out the Tools
After all, Li Mengyue was with seven village heads at that time. If she took out a demolition bomb out of thin air, the village heads would be scared to death.
While talking with the village heads, Li Mengyue used her consciousness to enter the space and checked the demolition bombs donated by her fans.
You won’t know until you see it. It will shock you. This is not an ordinary demolition bomb. It is definitely military grade and a top-notch product that has not been put on the market.
If she guessed correctly, the fifty demolition bombs in the space were used by the military.
But she really couldn't understand how there could be such a person among her fans who could easily get so many demolition bombs.
There is a world of difference between fifty and five hundred thousand, but there is no way five hundred thousand tools can compare to fifty demolition bombs.
Looking at the fifty demolition bombs, Li Mengyue felt a little conflicted. Five hundred thousand tools were fine, so she gave some to the seven village heads and the rest to Xie Ruiyuan, asking him to send people to distribute them and try to speed up the construction of the Qingshan Prefecture water conservancy project.
As for the fifty demolition bombs, she couldn't take them out casually. Such powerful things were not something she could possess as a peasant girl.
She believed that as long as she used a demolition bomb on the back hill, it would cause panic and attract the covetousness of the powerful.
Because this kind of powerful thing can not only be used to open mountains, it can also be invincible on the battlefield and become a powerful magic weapon to win.
In any case, this kind of thing cannot be taken out by her. After thinking about it, it is better for Xie Ruiyuan to come forward.
After all, Xie Ruiyuan has a natural advantage in status, and he has absolute say whether facing powerful people or ordinary people.
If Xie Ruiyuan took out the demolition bombs when building reservoirs in various counties in Qingshan Prefecture to help everyone reduce their burden, not only would no one say anything, but he would be able to win the hearts of the people.
Besides, she believed that with Xie Ruiyuan's ability, even if the world knew the power of the demolition bomb, he could kill countless enemies and win the victory without any effort on the battlefield, and he could also keep his things from being robbed.
"Yue girl, Yue girl, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah! Grandpa Village Chief, it's nothing. I just asked someone to get some tools. No matter the quality or sharpness, they are better than the ones we have now."
"Really?" Village Chief Wang asked impatiently.
"Ah."
After receiving Li Mengyue's affirmative answer, not only Village Chief Wang, but also the other six village chiefs were extremely happy.
They also wanted to talk to Li Mengyue about this issue, but were too embarrassed to speak up.
Because they knew that Li Mengyue had a heavy burden and was busy every day. They also knew that Li Mengyue was pregnant and they didn't want her to worry too much.
But they had no choice, even though each of them was the head of a village and had the final say in the village and a certain degree of say.
But they usually deal with trivial matters, such as gossip about other people's families, quarrels in someone's family, lost chickens or ducks, and they will be asked to solve the problem.
I have never seen anyone mobilizing thousands of people to build a reservoir or a river channel, and they are involved in the work. They are not just the people working with tools, but they are the ones who coordinate and command.
This puts a lot of pressure on everyone, and they all want to do their best and not fall behind.
In particular, Village Chief Wang, who is in charge of finances, is under greater pressure than other village chiefs.
Even so, they still encounter problems that they cannot solve.
However, if the problem is not resolved, the progress of the project will slow down and will not meet Li Mengyue's requirement of completing it within two months.
They were grateful to Li Mengyue and wanted to do something to help her from the bottom of their hearts.
But they didn't know what to do. Li Mengyue had no shortage of money or food, but they were still worried about food and clothing.
During the time that Li Mengyue has been in Xinghua Village, she has indeed brought hope to countless villagers and improved everyone's lives.
Normally they can't help Li Mengyue, but when Li Mengyue proposed to build a reservoir and dig a river, they would naturally feel obliged to do so.
Besides, whether it is the construction of reservoirs or the excavation of river channels, it concerns the fate of future generations and will prevent everyone from suffering from droughts and floods.
Before building the reservoir, they were mentally prepared that it would not be easy, but when they actually started doing it, they found it was extremely difficult and there were many things they could not solve.
Not to mention anything else, just at the very beginning, we encountered the problem of hard stones.
It’s not that the villagers are unwilling to work, nor that they are lazy, but that the tools they use are those used for normal work in the fields.
There is no problem using it for digging soil and weeding, but it is not so effective for digging stones. At the end of a day, the blade of the hoe is a little bent and many shovels are worn into cracks.
If this continues, within ten days or half a month, the tools in the villagers' hands will probably be scrapped.
They were also worried about this matter, but they didn't want to add more trouble to Li Mengyue.
They did think about trying to solve the problem, but it was too difficult and the tools could not be bought with money.
Because the imperial court had strict control over salt and iron, the government would allow ordinary people to buy iron pots, shovels, hoes and other iron products.
But you can only buy in small quantities, and buying in large quantities is not allowed.
Of course, even if the imperial court relaxed restrictions and allowed people to buy at will, no one would buy more.
After all, iron-related farm tools are very expensive, and it is already difficult for ordinary people to buy a set, so where would they get the money to buy extra ones?
For example, when building reservoirs and digging rivers now, everyone uses tools from their own homes, but the stones are too hard and the wear and tear is too great, which the villagers cannot afford.
Even if you can get ten cents a day's wages, if you can't work for many days and the farm tools at home break down, it would be a waste of time.
Because the wages I earned from working were not enough to buy a tool.
But the villagers also have to make a living and cannot spend all the money they earn from work on buying tools.
After the seven village chiefs learned about this, they were also very troubled. They wanted to solve it, but they didn't know where to start.
Unexpectedly, Li Mengyue had already thought about this matter and came up with a solution, so she asked others to buy a lot of tools.
In this way, they don’t have to worry about the villagers lacking enthusiasm to work due to lack of tools, which will further slow down the progress of the project.
There is also the problem of the hardness of the stone. Li Mengyue also said that she would find a solution.
Although they didn't know what method Li Mengyue would use to solve the problem, they firmly believed that what was extremely difficult for them would be nothing in Li Mengyue's hands and could be easily solved.
Therefore, the seven village chiefs were relieved and no longer worried about the hardness of the stone. They just waited for Li Mengyue to come up with a solution.
