Chapter 503: Buying Tents at the Mall
She was different. You have to know that she was just a village girl. Although she had made great efforts in eliminating locusts and building water conservancy projects, and was quite famous in Qingshan Prefecture and recognized by the people, and had some reputation among the refugees, these were not enough for her to take out the tent directly.
Even though there were tents in this era, the ordinary tent she took out was not one or two levels higher in quality than the tents of this era.
Such good things were definitely not something an ordinary village girl like her could come up with.
What's more, with such a heavy snowstorm, more and more houses will collapse and more people will be left without place to live.
Therefore, the number of tents to be taken out will definitely not be small, as she is well aware of the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
In the past, when she was exterminating locusts, although she led an army of ducks to various counties and purchased locusts at high prices, these actions were not acceptable in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy, and were not taken seriously.
In addition, she did not directly appear in the construction of the water conservancy project for the entire Qingshan Prefecture, but instead gave advice behind the scenes and provided the necessary food and money.
For officials, refugees and local people, both food and money were provided by the King of Chen.
As the Prince of Chen is a prince of the current dynasty, he represents the imperial court, which means that the imperial court has not given up on the refugees and has sent the Prince of Chen to provide disaster relief. The sources of food and money are naturally allocated by the imperial court.
Although the food and money were all provided by Li Mengyue, for the refugees, without King Chen, they were still struggling and didn't know how to survive.
She simply used Xie Ruiyuan to transfer food and money to the refugees so that they could survive and not starve to death in despair.
It's not that this is without benefit to her; the refugees will indeed be grateful to be able to survive.
Even those who did bad things while fleeing famine would be grateful to those who let them live, and she indeed gained gratitude points.
It was just a little different from what she had imagined. You know, she thought that by helping Xie Ruiyuan to resettle the refugees, the mission of 100 million grateful people would be completed. But it turned out that only half of it was completed, and there was still a lot of gratitude points missing.
The mission can only be accomplished by helping the people of the entire northern part of the Great Zhou to safely survive the extremely cold Little Ice Age.
That is what she is doing now. With the tents, she does not have to worry about the people and refugees having no place to live. She just needs to distribute the tents in the shortest possible time. At the same time, she also needs to organize people to clean the site and install the tents so that the people and refugees can have a temporary residence.
But she also knows that doing this alone is not enough, and other problems will arise.
But judging from her current physical condition, she really can't take care of so many things.
Because she clearly felt that since entering the late stage of pregnancy, her physical condition was not as good as before. She had all the symptoms that some pregnant women would have, such as drowsiness, easy hunger, abdominal cramps at night, and some edema in her feet.
These symptoms were caused by pregnancy. Even though she had great medical skills and could prepare some pills to relieve the symptoms, it would never be the same as a normal person.
It’s not about anything else, it’s just that my belly is getting bigger and bigger, making it inconvenient to do anything.
And the later you get in the pregnancy, the more careful you should be. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it will be too late to regret.
In other words, given her current physical condition, she can't do much. She can only ensure that the refugees and civilians have a place to live so that they don't freeze to death.
"Ayue, what are you thinking about?"
When Li Mengyue arrived at the villa, Xie Ruiyuan asked someone to go to the kitchen to get the prepared supplements.
At this moment, Xie Ruiyuan brought the bird's nest and placed it in front of Li Mengyue.
However, Li Mengyue's attention was not on this. She looked thoughtful, which made Xie Ruiyuan know that Li Mengyue must be thinking about something else.
If Li Mengyue hadn't come to the villa, he would have been on his way to the northern border now.
Although she didn't know how Li Mengyue got here, she also knew that Li Mengyue had a secret, otherwise she wouldn't have taken out so much food, cotton clothes, and quilts out of thin air. Those things that gave her a headache, when it came to Li Mengyue, seemed as simple as just waving her hand.
She knew that Li Mengyue was in possession of a secret treasure, but she never had any other thoughts. Instead, she tried her best to cover it up so that people would not notice Li Mengyue's difference.
In fact, sometimes he was also extremely grateful that Li Mengyue had had an adventure and obtained a treasure that everyone in the world dreamed of. In this way, Li Mengyue had the capital to do whatever she wanted.
But he also knew that for Li Mengyue now, once people knew about the treasure she possessed, it would be like a child walking on the road holding a piece of gold. It would easily attract the covetousness of those who would want to kill her and take the treasure.
What he needs to do is to make himself stronger and have the ability to protect Li Mengyue. Even if someone wants to snatch her away, he has enough confidence to keep Li Mengyue under his wings.
He had never asked about the treasures Li Mengyue had, but Li Mengyue's sudden appearance in his study still shocked him, and he really couldn't control his curiosity.
However, he will respect Li Mengyue and say it if she is willing to do so, and he will not force her if she is not willing to do so.
"Ayue, Ayue, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Xie Ruiyuan asked again, put his hand in front of Li Mengyue, waved at Li Mengyue, and then came back to his senses.
Looking at Xie Ruiyuan in front of him, he blurted out: "Xie Ruiyuan, can you get a lot of tents?"
"Tent, Ayue, what do you want a tent for?"
"Don't ask so many questions first. Just tell me whether you can get it."
"A few hundred or even a thousand is no problem, but if it's the large quantity you have in mind, then we can't get it."
Xie Ruiyuan was telling the truth. With his status and position, getting hundreds or thousands of tents was not a big problem.
But based on his understanding of Li Mengyue, the large number that Li Mengyue mentioned is definitely more than tens of thousands of tents, it is very likely to be hundreds of thousands or even millions of tents.
Xie Ruiyuan's guess was correct. The large number that Li Mengyue mentioned was indeed millions of tents.
But she also knew that millions of tents might not solve the problem, and perhaps more would be needed.
Fortunately, she had just asked Tuanzi to purchase two batches of tents from the mall, one batch was smart tents and the other was ordinary tents.
She was not going to give the smart tent to Nano and the local people. After all, the smart tent was too advanced. No matter the materials used or the functions it possessed, it was impossible for it to exist in this era.
The key is that even ordinary tents are not ordinary, because based on previous experience in transactions with the mall, as long as it is something from the mall, no matter the size, it makes no difference.
Like the cheapest food, she also discovered the secret of food, because those food are all high-yield food and can be used as grain seeds.
