This was one of Qiao Lian'er's goals, not only to save the people from their suffering, but also to plan for the future of herself and the Qiao family.
Qiao Lian'er did not show her expectations clearly, only saying, "It will be effective, but I hope it will be even better. Although I only have a little strength, I want to do more good for everyone within my power."
Supervisor Qu nodded, feeling deeply ashamed. A young girl had the greater good in her heart, while he had been thinking of personal gain and had done many things that were unfair to the people.
"No, it's not just about the greenhouse. You four siblings saved the grain inspectors and prevented the people from rebelling. That in itself is a great achievement."
"I will report to you as soon as I return to Beijing."
“Miss Qiao, although you are a girl and have many limitations in this world, you have such abilities and will surely have great fortune in the future.”
Qiao Lian'er smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Supervisor Qu."
Supervisor Qu then looked at Da Yong and the other two: "The three of you are all capable generals, and you are so young. Perform well, make more contributions, and I hope that one day you will be able to go to the capital to meet the emperor."
The three men were deeply moved and their spirits soared.
"We will try our best."
"We're busy with some matters, so we'll take our leave now. I mean what I say, we'll collect 60% of the rice. Anyone who takes an extra pound of rice from the people, I'll kill them."
Supervisor Qu looked at his men with a cold gaze: "Have you all remembered?"
"I've got it."
These men had also felt the pressure from the villagers and thought they were all going to die here; they were so breathless at the time.
Compared to this, what does a 10% reduction in tax collection amount to?
Supervisor Qu clasped his hands in farewell to everyone, saying, "Goodbye."
Then they left with their men.
At this moment, Chu Zhuo also arrived with a group of men.
He heard that some villagers had rebelled. Although the Qiao brothers said they could handle it, he was still worried and brought people to check the situation.
Sure enough, the matter was resolved perfectly.
Upon hearing that the rebellion involved 1,500 villagers, Chu Zhuo was filled with surprise.
"With so many people, you still say there's no problem? What if something happens?"
If these villagers were determined to die and used every trick in the book, it was possible that they would all be wiped out.
Therefore, he was still shaken.
Da Yong said easily, "General Chu is worrying too much. Everything is fine."
"No, next time you encounter this situation, you must report it to me and send more people. You are invaluable talents under my command, and I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Yes," the three brothers said in unison.
Seeing their obedience, the anger that had surged within Chu Zhuo inexplicably dissipated.
He added, "However, your ability to quell the situation and resolve it peacefully is a testament to your courage. I will go to General Guan to request commendation for you."
He actually understood why the Qiao family did this: it was to gain merit.
He could understand, because they came from humble backgrounds and had a more difficult path than him. Although he had reached his position by virtue of his military achievements, his family had also played a significant role.
The three brothers' eyes gleamed: "Thank you, General Chu."
Joining the army is about making meritorious contributions and becoming a general one day. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Some villagers remained here; they were to go to Datian Village with them. There weren't many, but there were still several dozen people.
