Wang Hu and a few of the most vocal troublemakers were taken away by the camp and handed over to the county government.
When the people of Datian Village first saw people from other villages entering, and more and more of them coming in, they became wary and picked up their weapons, ready to fight.
People from other villages said they went to Zhao Lizheng's house to check on the shed.
They led the people from other villages to Zhao Lizheng's house. The people from other villages felt the temperature inside the greenhouse and found that it was indeed much higher.
Moreover, it was a cloudy day today, so the interior didn't absorb any sunlight, indicating that it has good insulation.
Seeing that the cabbages were indeed growing well, the people from the neighboring village left with anticipation, hoping that the greenhouse could really grow a second crop of rice.
Zhao Lizheng returned, bringing with him dozens of people from other villages.
After inspecting the shed, they showed some satisfaction and asked, "How much would it cost if we wanted to buy this transparent fabric?"
"One hundred coins per mu," said Zhao Lizheng. "When the time comes, just ask Miss Qiao to buy it; I don't have this kind of thing here."
"Isn't one hundred coins a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive, and it can last for seven years. You can plant two rice crops every year, so you can earn back the money in the first year."
"Ah, it can last for seven years? That's really good."
Some villagers in Datian Village were loosening the soil in the fields, while others carried bundles of bamboo down from the mountain, where there are many trees and bamboo.
The air above Datian Village is faintly filled with the scent of bamboo.
The Qiao family also went up the mountain to cut bamboo, shaved it into long strips of a certain width, and were busy as bees.
By evening, the three brothers returned, their faces beaming with excitement.
"What's wrong? Did you get promoted?" Madam Feng asked.
"There's no promotion yet, a long way to go. I'm still just a lowly squad leader, but I command more troops than before. Now each of us can command two hundred men."
Old Man Qiao's face lit up with joy: "This is great news! Oh my, our family is going to produce a general!"
"To become a general, you have to kill many enemies on the battlefield and make great contributions," Qiao Dameng said.
Da Cheng: "We just learned that the Guanlin Iron Cavalry garrison can accommodate two Lieutenant Generals, but Song Laosan is only a Colonel. Because he has not made any merits on the battlefield, he only relies on his father-in-law's connections. Even if General Guan will take care of him, if he makes too big a move, it will attract the attention of the higher-ups. So we have to follow the rules."
"He's just a pretty face, all that embroidery. He's a captain, but he doesn't even dare to go into battle," Old Mrs. Qiao said disdainfully.
"Now that you have become soldiers, you bear responsibilities. When the Great Swamp Kingdom needs you to go to the battlefield, you must not back down, lest you disgrace the Qiao family."
Old Man Qiao nodded as well.
The three brothers were very happy to see that their parents' attitude was more open-minded than before.
They were afraid that if the topic of going to the battlefield was mentioned, the two elders would start worrying about this and that, and would even bring out brooms and rattan canes to discipline people.
It turns out that the two elders were well aware of the greater good of the nation and its people.
I used to just think that it wouldn't be worth it if they died on the mountain road.
"And Uncle Qin also signed up for the army yesterday and became General Chu's subordinate."
Grandma Qiao was somewhat surprised: "Why did you join the army too?"
"Grandma, it's better if Uncle Qin joins the army, so that people won't spread rumors and Song Laosan won't want to deal with him."
When Qiao Lian'er said this, the Qiao family all understood. Given Song Laosan's temperament, if he knew that Qin Bu was interested in Qiao Yunni, he might find a reason to convict Qin Bu one day.
It's always better to have someone protecting you than to be all alone and helpless.
A few days later, the soil in Datian Village was loosened and the greenhouse frames were ready. The villagers came to Qiao Lian'er to buy plastic film.
