Qiu Lin blushed with embarrassment after Su Jinxia's remarks. What Su Jinxia said was true, and he felt very ashamed.
"However, His Majesty has already realized his mistake. All matters such as the construction of the temporary palace have been halted, and the entire palace has reduced its expenditures to free up more money and food to help the people. As long as you agree to withdraw your troops, you can name your terms, but the premise is that all the supplies must be used for the people."
Su Jin chuckled softly.
"Now I finally understand the importance of the people, but... it's too late!"
"Look at the cities I've conquered, do I still need your help?"
Although harvests have been poor and disasters have been frequent in recent years, the main problem that has shaken the foundation of people's livelihoods lies in the system.
Officials and wealthy merchants amassed wealth by hoarding grain and driving up prices, while notorious bandits engaged in rampant arson, murder, and looting, creating widespread fear and making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to survive.
In the territory occupied by Su Jin, countless disobedient officials were killed, and their wealth was astonishing.
If a wealthy businessman actively sponsors the army, he can gain both fame and fortune. If he has any ulterior motives, Su Jin has a hundred ways to cut off his source of income.

Su Jin was strict in governing his army. His soldiers did not take advantage of the chaos to oppress the people. Instead, they did their best to maintain order. Han Qing personally selected all the new officials in each city. He had a keen eye for talent in this regard and chose people who were both capable and dedicated to serving the people.
In this way, people's lives can quickly return to normal.
Although we can't say we live in peace and contentment, at least we've solved the problem of having enough to eat and wear, and people's hearts are at peace.
It was precisely because of this that Su Jin was able to capture several cities in a short period of time and consolidate the entire southeast.
Everyone knows that submitting to Su Jinxia is the better choice.
The will of the people is unstoppable!
Spring is just around the corner, and as long as the weather doesn't go too far, Su Jin dares to guarantee that this place will be thriving a year from now.
