"Are these the ones who just want to stay in the refugee camp?" Jiang Chuyue had thought about a lot of things, but she had indeed not considered the differences between people. Some were willing to work hard to live a better life, while others would be content with the status quo.

After receiving a positive reply, Jiang Chuyue didn't say anything, but only reminded, "Start reclamation and planting in three days. Now is not a suitable time to plant crops. If you want to plant medicinal herbs, you need to arrange for someone to teach them step by step and keep an eye on them."

Shopkeeper Wu was indeed unsure about what crops to plant, but when he saw that Jiang Chuyue already had an idea, he also calmed down.

"Manager Zhou and I inspected a piece of land in the suburbs and found suitable conditions for reclamation and planting. However, since we want to plant medicinal herbs first, we have to open up this land first."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Zhou pulled out a simple map from his sleeve, and he and Shopkeeper Wu each held one side of the map and unfolded it and placed it on the table.

"This piece of land is close to the forest. Lao Zhou and I have checked it out. It won't take too much effort to bring water down. The soil here is not as dry as other lands, so it will be easier to transform it."

In order to personally inspect whether these lands were suitable for cultivation, they also specially invited a number of farmers to help and offered them generous rewards, so that they could draw such a seemingly simple map.

Although the map was simple, Jiang Chuyue knew how much thought they had put into it. She had also been running around to open up land for the village, and had visited many places before she selected suitable land for cultivation.

"Just prepare according to the map you drew, but we still need to see how to divert the water more conveniently." Reclaiming wasteland seems easy, but it is not easy to actually do it.

"As for the water source, I will bring people to check nearby tomorrow. If we can find a water source in the nearby mountains, that would be the best. If not, we can only look for the direction of the underground river and find the most suitable place to dig out the underground river."

There are some things that Jiang Chuyue can only do in person.

Going up the mountain to find water is not an easy task. Although farmers have some experience in finding water, their experience is still too slow compared to the equipment and instruments in Jiang Chuyue's space.

Several shopkeepers wanted to offer some advice, but were suppressed by Shopkeeper Wu's eyes.

In their opinion, Jiang Chuyue has many secrets. Although they follow Jiang Chuyue to do things, there are some things they should not say and they should not ask too many questions.

"And you have to be more careful about allocating personnel." Jiang Chuyue was still worried about handing so many things over to them. This was not a trivial matter. For such a large project, any mistakes anywhere could cause huge losses.

Not to mention that Shuiyun Pavilion and the county magistrate are watching them. If anything goes wrong, the county magistrate will probably find a way to find fault and cause trouble for them.

Several shopkeepers knew very well that if they followed Jiang Chuyue, they would be doomed to go against the county magistrate.

The cooperation between the two sides now is a last resort. Once they no longer need food, their situation will become extremely embarrassing.

"Don't worry about that. Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Wen will personally lead the team to separate the people according to the parts they are responsible for. At that time, they will also arrange people to monitor every link to avoid major mistakes."

Hearing that Manager Wu had already made arrangements, Jiang Chuyue nodded and said no more.

"The refugee camp is now in your hands. If any problems arise, come find me." Jiang Chuyue said as she took out a thick stack of silver bills from her arms.

Put it directly on the table.

"You have all worked hard recently. This portion is your hard work fee. You can keep the rest in case anything goes wrong. You don't have to be too tight-fisted when you need money."

He pushed the thickest stack in front of several shopkeepers, and gave the remaining stack to Shopkeeper Wu. The thickest portion was naturally reserved for their hard work.

Jiang Chuyue was never stingy with his subordinates and was always generous in giving them money and benefits.

Even so, the shopkeepers did not expect that Jiang Chuyue would actually bring such a stack of silver bills and hand them directly to them.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Shopkeeper Zhou has been working with Jiang Chuyue for the shortest time and is not yet used to Jiang Chuyue's work style.

Jiang Chuyue smiled and said nonchalantly, "Since you guys are working so hard for me, I can't treat you unfairly. You guys have arranged everything very carefully, and I guess you must have put a lot of thought into it. You didn't even get a good rest yesterday."

The dark circles under their eyes were so obvious that anyone could tell that the shopkeepers looked tired.

"This is what you deserve. I give you this money to tell you that as long as you work hard under me, you will not miss out on benefits."

This is Jiang Chuyue’s purpose, to make them willingly continue to work under her.

"We have noted your words, and we will definitely not let Boss Jiang down." Shopkeeper Wu is a straightforward and smart man. Ever since he started working with Jiang Chuyue, he has gradually figured out Jiang Chuyue's style of doing things.

He knew that the more hesitant he was, the more Jiang Chuyue would be unhappy.

It would be better to accept the money openly, so that everyone will be happy.

"By the way, if you have reliable and capable people in your family, you can ask them to help. You can pay them whatever they deserve. But I hope you will be more cautious when choosing people." After Jiang Chuyue finished explaining the last thing, she left in a hurry.

In order to find water, Jiang Chuyue went to a farmhouse in the suburbs that night and stayed there.

"Sister, the mountain is not a place you can go. My man doesn't even dare to go up the mountain now." The family was very welcoming. When they heard that Jiang Chuyue had nowhere to go, they welcomed Jiang Chuyue into the house without any hesitation.

He even stewed the only piece of meat left in the house for Jiang Chuyue.

Jiang Chuyue looked at the large pot of food on the table and knew that this family must have brought out all the good things.

“Why can’t we go up the mountain?”

"Oh, you don't know, since the famine, there has been less food in the mountains, and many wolves and wild boars have come down the mountain to look for food. My husband used to make money by hunting, but now the wolves in the mountains are so hungry that they dare not go up the mountain anymore."

The woman brought a bowl of thick porridge to Jiang Chuyue.

Jiang Chuyue took a quick glance and saw that there were only a few grains of rice left in the bowls of the couple and their child.
