"But how can we prove that this stuff works?" Zhao Lizheng asked again.

"Let's put the plastic greenhouse on Uncle Zhao's vegetable patch in front of his yard first. When Uncle Zhao wakes up tomorrow, he can compare the temperature inside with the usual temperature."

It's still around 20 degrees Celsius now, and the temperature is locked up inside the plastic greenhouse. It's stuffy and hot inside, but it will be just right in winter.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try first. If it works, I’ll let the villagers use it. If the output can reach half of a season’s, that would be quite good.” Zhao Lizheng’s face showed a hint of anticipation.

“Sickle Girl, if this is useful, the villagers won’t need to rebel. You’ve done another great service. I will report everything you’ve done.”

This was also one of Qiao Lian'er's goals, because she couldn't make much money selling plastic greenhouse film; she was after success and achievement.

Including the bridge she built at the beginning, she was making long-term plans for herself after coming into this world. At that time, she knew that the bridge could not completely resist floods and that she would have to find a solution later, but she took it out first, firstly to save Qiao Yunni, and secondly to prepare for meritorious service.

The same principle applies to the array diagrams that were taken out.

Perhaps building a bridge won't attract the attention of the imperial family, and perhaps those array diagrams won't be enough, but what if she could stop the people from rebelling?

One by one, these things accumulate, and eventually, those above will remember her name.

She certainly has a heart for the public good, but she also has selfish motives and wants to climb the ladder of power; these are not contradictory.

Especially this time, when Song Laosan led his iron cavalry to deliberately make things difficult for the Qiao family, her resolve was strengthened.

People should strive for higher positions to better protect themselves and their families.

Qiao Lian'er then taught Zhao Lizheng how to build a plastic greenhouse before leaving.

A noisy commotion came from the official road above the village, and a large group of people came from this direction. They kept pouring out from the bend, and the flow of people grew longer and longer. Compared with what she had seen earlier, there were two or three hundred more people.

This increase in numbers secretly alarmed Qiao Lian'er.

When they meet the grain requisition team, the number will likely exceed one thousand, or even two thousand.

Seeing this, the villagers became wary. Were they coming down to steal the grain again?

However, those people did not come down to rob; they stopped on the official road above, and only a group of a few dozen people went down to the village.

They said it loudly as soon as they entered the village.

“Those damned bastards who levied the grain are inhuman. They took away 70-80% of our grain, and in some villages, it was even as high as 90%. They are simply trying to cut off everyone's way of life. There is strength in numbers. Let's unite and take back all the grain that has been taken away. We will kill gods and Buddhas if they get in our way. Don't be polite to them. They are the ones who have gone too far.”

"That's right, let's rebel against them together. If we participate, the grain we seize will be distributed according to the number of people. They take away so much money and grain, even if we have tens of thousands of people, it will be more than enough to go around."

“One person can easily handle several thousand kilograms. If several people in a family participate, they won’t have to worry about food for the next few years.”
