Chu Yin interrupted him quietly: "I heard that no one here knows how to dig wells?"

"Dig a well?" The village chief looked confused, "What is that?"

Chu Yin glanced at Qinghao, and Qinghao explained loudly: "Digming a well means finding a place to dig a hole in the ground, and digging deeply until water comes out.

"This water can be used to eat and water crops."

The village chief opened his eyes wide, looked at each other with the villagers around him, and saw the same disbelief on each other's faces, "And...there is such a thing?"

"I know you haven't seen it and don't understand it," Chu Yin said lightly, "so I will send someone to stay to help you dig a well and teach you how to draw water from the well.

"What I want you to do is to follow the instructions carefully. If the surrounding villages need to dig wells, you should go over and help."

"This..." the village chief said hesitantly, "If we can really get out of the water, we would be happy, but this... I'm afraid we can't?"

Chu Yin curled his lips and said, "You will know in a few days whether it works or not.

"I called you here today, firstly, to tell you about this. The wells were not dug for you in vain, and each of your households must receive the task of one hundred trees.

"It doesn't require you to complete it in one year, but you must plant at least ten trees every year. I don't care where they are planted. They can be in front of the house or behind the house, or in the fields.

“Every year I send someone to check.

"The second thing is to help you build a water cellar. It rains a lot in your place, but it doesn't never rain. Summer is also the rainy season, and the amount of rain is okay, but it's not easy to store.

"So I will send people to help you build water cellars for you to store rainwater and use it when there is a shortage of water. As for whether you use it for humans and animals or for irrigation, that is your own business.

"You don't have the materials to build a water cellar here. They need to be transported from other places. It will cost a lot of money..."

As soon as he heard about money, the village chief immediately became anxious, "Noble sir! You are a sensible person. We are all poor people and have no money!"

Chu Yin frowned slightly.

Qinghao immediately scolded: "I didn't let you speak!"

Several people quickly lowered their heads.

Chu Yin then said: "Of course I will pay for this money. However, it is not for you to use it in vain. You must plant a nursery together in your village to cultivate saplings.

"As for what kind of trees to plant, you make your own decision. You are natives, so you naturally know better than me.

"The number of saplings cultivated in the nursery must not be less than [-] to ensure survival."

Qing Hao shouted: "Madam is talking to you!"

Bai Zhi Rendong took a step forward and picked up the stones on the ground with her toes. Bai Zhi said coldly: "Look here!"

The village chief and others looked up curiously and saw two young girls each holding a chicken-sized stone in their hands. They crushed it into pieces with two clicks. They shivered in fear and immediately buried their heads deeply.

Qinghao said coldly: "Our madam does what she says, but if you don't strictly follow her instructions, it means that our madam has a heart of Bodhisattva, but we people are not vegetarians!"

The village chief and others were so frightened that they trembled and quickly kowtowed on the ground: "Don't you dare, don't you dare!"

Chu Yin looked at Zi Wan beside him. Zi Wan came forward with the drafted deed, read it twice in a clear voice, and asked: "Do you all understand it? If you do, come and sign it. If you don't, then come and sign it." Just press the fingerprint to write.

"This deed will be sent to your local government for witness. If one of us breaks the contract, we will pay the other party 3000 taels of silver."
