The villagers responded one after another, with determination shining in their eyes. A middle-aged man, Li Dazhuang, was the first to express his position: "Your Highness, we will do whatever you say! As long as the village has water to drink, we can do anything.
eat!"
Zhu Han nodded with a smile and said to Li Dazhuang: "Brother Dazhuang, we see your determination. Next, we will conduct exploration in groups. Each group will be led by an experienced craftsman to ensure the success of the exploration work.
Accuracy and security.”
At this time, an old craftsman, Uncle Zhang, stood up. He stroked his beard and said to the villagers: "Don't worry, everyone. I, Uncle Zhang, have been digging wells all my life and I still have some understanding of underground water veins. I will
Lead everyone and carefully explore each place, never letting go of any possible water source."
Zhu Biao added: "Well, with Uncle Zhang here, we will be more confident. However, the exploration work is hard and time-consuming. Everyone must remain patient and perseverant. I believe we will be able to find more water sources."
The villagers nodded and expressed their willingness to cooperate. Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, I think we can divide the villagers into several groups, each group is responsible for an area. This can not only improve efficiency, but also ensure comprehensive exploration.
sex."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "Uncle Han Wang makes sense, then let's start grouping."
The grouping was completed quickly, and each group was equipped with the necessary tools and supplies. Led by an old craftsman, they began to explore intensively. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao shuttled between the groups, giving guidance and encouragement from time to time.
In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, and the exploration work was still in progress. Zhu Han came to a group led by a young man, Wang Ergou, and saw them waving hoes and excavating the earth under their feet, dripping with sweat.
"Ergou, how's the progress?" Zhu Han asked with concern.
Wang Ergou wiped his sweat and said with an honest smile: "Your Highness, King Han, we have just dug up a hard rock and are trying to find a way around it. Uncle Zhang said there may be water veins under the rock."
When Zhu Han heard this, he felt happy. He knelt down and inspected it carefully, nodded and said: "Okay, you continue digging, but you must pay attention to safety. If the stone is too hard, use a hammer to break it first."
Wang Ergou responded: "Okay, Your Highness, King Han, don't worry!"
Just as Zhu Han was about to leave, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers not far away. He followed the sound and saw another group of villagers, led by an old craftsman, pointing to the ground excitedly and shouting: "Water!
There is water here!”
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao rushed over after hearing the news and saw a stream of clear water gurgling out of the dug pit. The villagers cheered and their faces were filled with indescribable joy.
"Great! Another water source has been found!" Zhu Han said excitedly.
Zhu Biao patted the old craftsman on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you, old man, your experience is really a valuable asset to us."
The old craftsman waved his hands modestly: "Everywhere is the result of everyone's hard work."
Zhu Han turned around and said to the villagers: "Folks, this is really great news! Our efforts have not been in vain, the water source has been found!"
The villagers gathered around one after another, with tears in their eyes and excitement beyond words. A middle-aged man, Li Daniu, said with a choked voice: "You two gentlemen, you are really our saviors! This water is all our life.
The lifeblood of the villagers!”
Zhu Han quickly waved his hands and said humbly: "Folks, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. We have only done a small part. Next, we have to work together to make good use of these water sources and let the village bid farewell to
Days when water is scarce.”
Zhu Biao also took over the conversation and encouraged: "Brother Daniu is right, we need to strike while the iron is hot and make use of these newly discovered water sources as soon as possible. Uncle Hanwang, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhu Han thought for a moment and said: "First of all, we must ensure that these newly dug wells can be properly protected and managed. Secondly, we must organize manpower and continue to explore the surrounding areas to see if there are more potential water sources. Finally, also
The most important thing is that we have to teach the villagers how to maintain these wells so that they can serve the village for a long time."
At this time, an old craftsman, Uncle Zhang, came forward and said respectfully to Zhu Han: "Your Highness, King Han, I am willing to lead a few young men to be responsible for the maintenance and daily management of the wells. Although we people in the mountains have no idea
No matter what kind of books you have studied, there is no ambiguity in your work."
When Zhu Han heard this, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Zhang, with your words, I feel relieved. These wells in the village will be left to you and the villagers. However, we have to consider the long term and build some
The cistern also collects rainwater for emergency use.”
Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly: "His Royal Highness, King Han, is absolutely right, and I have exactly what I mean. We have abundant rain in the mountains. If we can build some reservoirs, it will really solve our big problem."
Zhu Han smiled and nodded, and then said to the villagers: "Folks, Uncle Zhang's suggestion is very good. We must not only dig wells to find water, but also learn to store and utilize rainwater. In this way, we no longer have to worry about water shortages.
Problem."
Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with longing and hope for the future.
"Uncle Hanwang, since the folks are so supportive, let's strike while the iron is hot and quickly refine the next plan." Zhu Biao suggested.
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, then turned to the villagers and said: "Folks, we have to take a few steps next. First, Uncle Zhang will lead a few young people to be responsible for the daily maintenance and inspection of the newly dug wells to ensure that they can continue to provide water.
At the same time, we need to continue to explore the surrounding areas to find more potential water sources."
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang stepped forward, patted his chest and assured: "Your Highness, Prince Han, don't worry, Your Highness, we people in the mountains dare not say anything to others, but we are absolutely unambiguous when it comes to work. The newly dug wells will be handed over to us."

A middle-aged man Li Daniu stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, Young Master, explore the water source
All the young men in our village are willing to do the work! As long as we can find water for the village, we can endure any hardship!"
Zhu Han smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude to the villagers for their enthusiasm: "We understand the wishes of the villagers. However, exploring water sources is not a child's play and requires certain experience and skills. We will invite several experienced craftsmen to come
Guide everyone to ensure that exploration work is both safe and efficient."
At this time, a white-haired old man, Old Man Li, slowly came forward. He had participated in well digging work many times when he was young and had a good understanding of underground water veins: "Sir, although I am old, old man,
, but I still have some experience in digging wells. If His Highness and Young Master don’t mind it, the old man is willing to contribute.”
Zhu Han was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to support Old Man Li: "Old Li, we are very lucky that you are willing to help us! Your experience is very important to us, so please give us your advice."
Zhu Biao also stepped forward to express his gratitude: "Mr. Li, with the guidance of seniors like you, our work will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Please rest assured that we will fully cooperate with your work."
Subsequently, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao planned the next work steps in detail, including the division of exploration areas, the organization of exploration teams, and the preparation of exploration tools. They also discussed with the villagers how to rationally utilize existing resources and ensure
The exploration work was carried out smoothly.
After several days of arduous exploration, they finally discovered a new water source in a hidden valley. When the first clear spring gushes out from the ground, everyone was excited. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao held hands tightly.
Holding each other's hands, the joy of victory flashed in their eyes.
"Uncle Hanwang, we finally found it!" Zhu Biao shouted excitedly.
Zhu Han could not conceal his excitement: "Yes, Your Highness. All this is the result of the villagers. Without their support and efforts, we would not have been able to find the water source so quickly."
The villagers also gathered around. They cheered and expressed their gratitude to Zhu Han and Zhu Biao. Old man Li burst into tears: "Sir, you are really our great benefactors! With this water, our village will be saved."
!”
Zhu Han quickly supported Old Man Li and comforted him with gentle words: "Old Li's words are serious. We are officials sent by the imperial court, and it is our duty to solve problems for the people. Seeing that the villagers can live a good life, we do more than anything else.
Happy."
Zhu Biao also took up the conversation: "Yes, folks. As long as we all work together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome. Next, we will work together to make good use of the newly discovered water sources and let the village bid farewell to
Days when water is scarce.”
Hearing this, the villagers nodded one after another, their eyes shining with determination and hope. With the help of these two young masters, the future of the village will definitely become better.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood next to the newly discovered water source, looking at the gurgling clear spring, and their hearts were filled with emotion. Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, we must report the situation here to our father as soon as possible.
, and at the same time arrange for craftsmen to come and build more wells and reservoirs to ensure that the villagers can obtain long-term and stable water sources."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. I will compile a letter and send it back to the capital as fast as possible, asking my father to send craftsmen and supplies to support."
At this time, a middle-aged man Li Daniu came over and said with an honest smile: "You two gentlemen, you are really the great savior of our village! This water is the lifeblood of our whole village. Is there anything we can help you with?"
, just as you are told!”
Zhu Han patted Li Daniu on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Brother Daniu, thank you for your support. Next, we will arrange for craftsmen to come and build the well, but before that, we need your help to clean up this area to ensure
The craftsmen were able to carry out the construction smoothly.”
Li Daniu quickly agreed: "Don't worry, young master! The young men in our village have nothing but strength. Leave the cleanup work to us!"
Zhu Han smiled and nodded, then turned to the villagers gathered around and said, "Folks, in addition to the cleanup work, we also need some manpower to go to neighboring villages to learn the experience of digging wells. Who is willing to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several young villagers stood up one after another, their eyes flashing with eagerness. A young man named Xiao Shitou stepped forward and said firmly: "Sir, I am willing to go! I learn things quickly, and I will definitely go."
I can bring back good experiences!”
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Xiao Shitou, I'll leave this task to you. Remember, you must not only learn the technology, but also understand how they maintain the wells. This is very important to us."
Xiao Shitou nodded heavily, determination flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
After the arrangements were made, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao visited several households to learn more about their living conditions and needs. Everywhere they went, they listened patiently, took notes carefully, and gave suggestions and encouragement from time to time.
In a simple farmhouse, they met an old woman. The old woman held Zhu Han's hand tremblingly, with tears in her eyes: "Sir, I can't live long with my old bones, but
I can't worry about my grandson. He is still young, what will I do in the future?"
Zhu Han comforted him gently: "Old man, don't worry. We will try our best to help your grandson. The court will pay attention to the problems of lonely elderly people and orphans, and we will provide them with more help and support."
When the old woman heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's great! Thank you, sir, and the court!"
After leaving the old woman's house, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao continued to move forward. They came to a barren field. They saw that the land was cracked and overgrown with weeds. An old farmer squatted on the ground and rubbed the dry hard land with his rough fingers.
His eyes were filled with helplessness.
Zhu Han stepped forward and asked softly: "Old man, was this field like this before?"
The old farmer shook his head and sighed: "This used to be the best farmland in our village! We had bumper harvests every year and fed many people. But in recent years, the drought has become more and more serious, and we can no longer grow crops."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han became more determined to help here. He turned to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, we must act as soon as possible. In addition to building wells, we also need to guide the villagers to plant drought-resistant crops."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his brows furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Hanwang, although drought-resistant crops are good, the villagers may not be able to accept the new planting method for a while, and they are even more worried that the harvest will not be as good as before."
Zhu Han nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "What His Highness said is true. This matter really needs to be discussed in the long term. We can first find a few villagers who are willing to try, and the court will provide seeds and technical guidance, and then promote it after they succeed."
Come."
At this time, a middle-aged farmer happened to pass by. Hearing the conversation between the two, he stopped and said with a simple smile: "You two gentlemen, if there is such a good thing, I am willing to be the first to try it. Our land is dry.
If things are like this, if we don’t change things, I’m afraid people will starve to death.”
