Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

Chang Ninghai was very aware of his abilities. If he was asked to lead the troops alone and fight a conservative war, he would be fine, but if he had to win a battle, he was not sure.

In this case, you might as well just follow orders. If you want to gain credit, you must have the right attitude to do so.

Su Xing was very satisfied with Chang Ninghai's attitude. Although his abilities were not that great, being obedient was a great advantage. She was not afraid that her soldiers were stupid, but she was afraid that they would be disobedient.

In the following time, Su Xing concentrated on finding the locations of all the gold and silver mines on the island, arranging people to mine, and loading all the gold and silver mined onto ships and transporting them back to the capital.

Su Xing was worried that the people who stayed behind would not be able to guard the slaves well. After all, the number of slaves on an island was more than ten times that of soldiers. If there was any trouble, it would be impossible without strong people to guard the area.

If more people were assigned to escort the gold and silver, there would be even fewer soldiers left. Su Xing was afraid that Chang Ninghai would not be able to control the situation, so she simply let Chang Ninghai be responsible for transporting the gold and silver back to the capital, and she stayed behind to guard the place.

Chang Ninghai was also afraid of managing such a large number of slaves, so he obediently accepted Su Xing's arrangement, took half of the soldiers, and led more than ten ships of gold and silver back to Beijing.

Su Xing's worries were not groundless. As soon as Chang Ninghai left, the Japanese pirates on the island, feeling that the guarding force was empty, started a riot.

Their riot did not happen overnight. Su Xing imprisoned them separately, and the slaves in each detention place elected a leader.

After all the leaders informed each other, some of them attracted the soldiers' attention while others were responsible for the sneak attack. They divided the work and cooperated with each other in a very organized and carefully planned manner.

Unfortunately, they met Su Xing, who allowed them to collude with each other and then directly suppressed the riot forcefully on the day of the riot.

Su Xing killed a large number of slaves without mercy. She hanged all the leaders as a warning to others. She also chopped off the heads of the dead slaves and piled them up to form a spectacle to intimidate the remaining slaves.

Su Xing didn't think that what she did was too cruel at all. Compared with the inhumane massacres and human experiments carried out by their descendants, her current behavior was nothing.

The ancestors must pay for the mistakes of their descendants. They deserve this fate now. It's their bad luck to meet me in this time and space.

On the other hand, Chang Ninghai, who returned to the capital, was treated with great attention. Ten large ships of silver and five large ships of gold were pulled to the national treasury by horse-drawn carriages like water.

They were very ostentatious along the way, and the people were all watching. There was too much gold and silver, and it was impossible to hide it even if they wanted to. The queen mother simply told people not to hide it.

Because there was too much gold and silver and the treasury was too rich, the Queen Mother directly announced that the people's taxes would be reduced this year. As a result, all the people were plunged into a sea of ​​carnival.

The people originally didn't care much about how much gold and silver the court got, as none of it would reach them. But after getting the tangible benefits, the people began to hope that the court could get more gold and silver.

The people were looking forward to whether the court would continue to exempt from taxes if it obtained more gold and silver.

Zhang Erniu is an ordinary citizen. He got married and separated from his parents. He was worried about how he would get through the rest of this year.

He was not liked by his parents, and the house he was assigned was a dilapidated old house. If it was not repaired, it would definitely not survive the winter.

But repairing the house also costs money to hire people. Even if he works hard on the few acres of land he was given, the remaining grain after paying taxes is only enough for his family to keep from starving to death.

The tax payment was about to begin in the next few days, and Zhang Erniu was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters. At this time, the tax exemption notice from the court came down.

Zhang Erniu was so brave that he couldn't believe it. He grabbed the official who came to deliver the message and asked him several questions. After confirming that the news was true, he ran home.

Zhang Erniu's wife, Lin, was mending clothes. Although the clothes were covered with patches, they were warm clothes after all. Having one more piece of clothing could save lives in the winter.

While Mrs. Lin was mending the clothes carefully, the rickety door of her house was banged open and Zhang Erniu rushed into the house.

Lin stood up distressed and looked at the door that had been knocked open, complaining: "Boss, what should we do if you break the door because of your impulsiveness? We still need to keep out the cold in this winter."

Zhang Erniu laughed loudly, picked up Lin and spun her around: "Let's not use this broken door anymore, let's repair the house right away!"

Lin hit Erniu and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no money to repair the house at home."

Zhang Erniu said excitedly: "Don't worry, it is said that a female general conquered an island country and brought back a lot of gold and silver from there, including more than a dozen large ships.

The Queen Mother was happy and sympathized with the hardship of our lives. She issued an order to exempt all the people from taxes for one year. This year we don’t have to pay taxes. Not only will our family have money to repair the house, but we won’t have to starve anymore!”

"Oh, this is great!"

Lin clasped her hands together excitedly: "Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, General! Thank you, God!"

There are many families like Zhang Erniu. For those who are doing well, the saved taxes allow them to have a good year and buy some clothes and quilts. For those who are not doing well, they can also take a breath.

The people were happy, and the imperial court was even happier. The treasury was very busy, and the gold and silver craftsmen were busy purifying the gold and silver that were brought back into gold and silver ingots and sending them to the treasury.

When Chang Ninghai returned to the island with more soldiers, Su Xing had already mined more gold and silver. Chang Ninghai didn't even take a breath and continued to escort the gold and silver back.

Su Xing stayed on the island for a full six months. He mined all the gold and silver that was easy to mine and transported them back. The Queen Mother distributed several waves of welfare to officials, and the people were exempted from taxes for four consecutive years. The whole country was celebrating.

Thanks to the four years of tax exemption, everyone in the world now knows the virtuous name of the empress dowager, and everyone also knows that there is a powerful female general named Zhao Suxing.

After Su Xing returned, the Queen Mother of the island country arranged her confidants to guard the place.

The Queen Mother originally wanted Chang Ninghai to guard it, but now the island country has become a treasure land and lucrative positions, and officials are trying their best to squeeze in. If the Queen Mother had not been tough, this matter would never have been Chang Ninghai's turn.

But Chang Ninghai thought about it and felt that he still wanted to go to the battlefield with Su Xing. The empress dowager did not force him and replaced him with another confidant.

After the national treasury was full, the empress dowager immediately sent people to control the floods. The Minister of Works was the best at flood control and was an upright official. He had long wanted to control the floods, but the national treasury was empty, so he could only do the job hastily every time.

This time, it was a rare opportunity that the imperial court had enough money to cure the flood. The Minister of Works immediately volunteered to go and control the flood. Su Xing personally cooperated with him to prevent the money from being embezzled.

In order to avoid wasting people's energy, Suxing brought back many islanders to do heavy physical work.

When the people of Daxia were serving in the military, they could do lighter work. If they were still willing to work at the end of their service, Suxing would pay them thirty copper coins a day, including food and lodging.

This wage is much higher than the market wage, and most importantly, it includes food and accommodation, which is equivalent to saving up thirty copper coins. Moreover, the work is not very heavy, and the heavy physical work is done by slaves.

For a time, the corvée labor that people once avoided was now something that people rushed to accept.
