The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The old village chief and Su Qianqian arranged for them to be managers of the new workshop, making them highly sought-after by the villagers. Every day, they were surrounded by many people asking if they were still hiring.

That evening, the old village chief returned home and complained to his wife, "Managing the workshop is much more tiring than being the village chief. Before, I only had to manage Lotus Village, but now villagers from more than a dozen villages bother me every day."

The village chief's wife noticed that although her husband was complaining, he had a proud look on his face, clearly showing off.

Qian is really capable; the family's success today is all thanks to her.

The husband was given an important position by Qian Yatou, and the son was also able to work in the government in the capital thanks to Qian Yatou's help.

The villagers from all around also made a lot of money by following Qian Yatou's lead.

I never dared to imagine that a girl could be so successful.

This world is extremely difficult for women, but Qian Yatou changed the status of women in Qinghe County all by herself!

In the past, girls were often abandoned or given away in the village, but now everyone cherishes daughters.

Both the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" restaurant and the soap workshop only hired women, resulting in girls being more favored than boys!

The second son's wife was even more boastful than the village chief. Every day after work, she would go to the courtyards where the villagers lived to show off and enjoy the flattery.

At the same time, he did not forget to monitor the situation in each courtyard, determined to report any unusual situation to Qian Yatou immediately.

Qian Yatou is in charge of an army of tens of thousands of people and doesn't have the energy to look after the rear. She must help Qian Yatou keep a close watch on the rear.

The Fang family mother and daughter waited for five or six days with a "let's see what happens" attitude, but the lard soap still hadn't come out. They became even more convinced that Su Qianqian couldn't make lard soap.

What a disgrace! After making such a big fuss, they couldn't even produce a single piece of pig pancreas.

What they didn't know was that lard soap couldn't be made into a finished product immediately; it required a month-long saponification reaction, so the first batch of lard soap wouldn't be available for sale until after the New Year.

The servants sent by Prime Minister Feng finally arrived in Qinghe County at this time.

Poor Feng Yuanxi failed to enlist in the army several times, but after diligently practicing martial arts, he finally passed the test.

He thought he could become a glorious militiaman like Qin Changfeng and Dong Zhu, but while he was registering to join the army, he was suddenly arrested by the servants sent by his own father.

Feng Yuanxi was bound hand and foot and thrown into the carriage heading to the capital, and he was furious.

"Let me go! Let me go right now!"

He screamed until his throat was hoarse, but no one loosened his restraints.

He had finally earned the right to join the army in Qinghe County, and he had finally managed to change General Su's opinion of him, but his father had sent men to kidnap him. He felt extremely aggrieved.

Emperor Qi Jing is really having a headache lately. A powerful and invincible Miao holy woman has appeared in the south, while there is still no good news coming from the northern border.

We've given up hope of winning the war; we'd be grateful if there weren't any more extreme reports of massacres or similar events.

But just when all hope seemed lost, good news came from the south.

Miss Su won another victory, and as expected, she did not disappoint him.

Emperor Jing of Qi personally read aloud the latest news from Qinghe County during the morning court session—

[Su Qianqian led a thousand men and captured three thousand three hundred and seven rebel soldiers alive in the territory of Black Wind Stronghold, and also captured the rebel general Mu Wuyai...]

The civil and military officials were overjoyed. Most of them were loyal to the emperor and loved their country, so they were naturally happy to hear that they had won the battle.

Qin Changfeng, the grandson of Minister Qin of the Ministry of War, lived in Qinghe County.

Considering the safety of Qinghe County, he stepped forward and requested, "Your Majesty, please send another 5,000 troops to support Qinghe County. With more troops to support Miss Su, she will surely be able to win more battles."

Ministers who were on good terms with the Minister of War all stood up to echo his sentiments.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to support Qinghe County."

"Your Majesty, please provide assistance to Qinghe County."

But Prime Minister Feng stood up and objected.

"Your Majesty, I oppose sending reinforcements to Qinghe County. That Miss Su is too young and has little experience in managing troops. Giving her too many soldiers would be a waste of resources as she would not be able to command them."

Anyway, Prime Minister Feng received the latest news that his youngest son, Feng Yuanxi, was no longer in Qinghe County and was on his way back to the capital. He no longer had to worry about his son being controlled by Su Qianqian.

Whether Qinghe County will be captured by the enemy or not is none of his business.

After Prime Minister Feng stood up to oppose it, people from the same faction as him stood up to support him.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. The young lady lacks experience and may not be able to command too many troops."

"Your Majesty, we cannot send any more troops to Qinghe County. Even if that young girl is skilled in military command, we may not be able to afford to support her."

Whether they were in favor or opposed, what they said made a lot of sense.

Emperor Jing of Qi discovered that there was a great deal of disagreement among his ministers regarding the matter of sending reinforcements, so the matter had to be temporarily shelved.

But since Miss Su won a battle when morale was low, which greatly boosted the morale of the troops, she should definitely be rewarded.

Since we cannot reward Miss Su, let's promote her father by another rank.

"Qinghe County has once again rendered great service, which pleases me greatly. I hereby promote Su Bing to the rank of General Banner Officer of the seventh grade. Dong Zhu, the militiaman who captured the rebel general, is also promoted to the rank of Junior Banner Officer of the seventh grade. The Ministry of Personnel shall issue the appointment documents."

Emperor Qi Jing emphasized one sentence: "Dong Zhu is the son of Dong Yong, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. My ministers bravely joined the army to protect our country, which makes me very happy."

Dong Yong was just a minor official of the sixth rank, and was not originally qualified to attend court, but His Majesty specially ordered someone to issue an imperial decree summoning him to attend the morning court today.

He was wondering what the reason was when he heard the Emperor's praise and realized that it was because his son had made great contributions that he, as the father, was qualified to attend today's morning court.

Indeed, it was a wise choice to let her son stay with Miss Su.

Dong Yong was very glad that he had written the letter to his son to go to Qinghe County.

Although he failed to achieve his goal of getting married, he at least earned military merit.

My son is currently a seventh-rank officer. If he is promoted two more ranks, he will be a sixth-rank officer, just like his father.

If they're lucky, they might surpass him, their father, very soon.

Oh dear, meeting Miss Su is truly the Dong family's greatest fortune.

I must buy some nice things and send them to Qinghe County so my son can give them to Miss Su.

Vice Minister Luo was extremely jealous. He had originally wanted his grandson, Luo Minggeng, to work as a lowly clerk in the Ministry of Justice, but he couldn't even get in.

As it turned out, Dong Yong's spoiled son actually became an official.

Vice Minister Luo was jealous; he was jealous that Dong Yong had a good son.

Other people's children are truly outstanding! It's a pity that he has a lot of sons and grandsons, but none of them are successful.

In an instant, all the civil and military officials looked at Dong Yong.

The ministers' faces were full of envy.

Dong Yong is so lucky to receive such public praise from His Majesty the Emperor; his future career is sure to be bright.

Prime Minister Feng was also very envious. His youngest son went to Qinghe County with Dong Yong's son, but his son lost more than 10,000 taels of silver, while Dong Yong's son actually earned military merit.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

Although they were a powerful and wealthy family, their descendants would not receive government salaries if they did not achieve the academic degree of Jinshi.

If his son could obtain even a minor official position, regardless of rank or even the lowest one, it wouldn't matter. With his connections, he could definitely help his son rise through the ranks.

Dong Yong said modestly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness. In truth, my son is not very capable. All of this is thanks to that Miss Su."

Those in the know understand that Dong Yong's current success is superficially due to his son, but he should really thank that Miss Su.

The imperial court is suffering defeats everywhere, but the battles fought by that little girl are all fought exceptionally well.

It's obvious that the girl is really talented.

But the ministers tacitly agreed not to mention the little girl's contributions.

Regardless of the factions among the ministers, their attitude towards Miss Su was consistent.

That is, women must never be allowed to rise above others, women must never be allowed to hold official positions or participate in politics, and the status quo of male superiority and female inferiority must never be changed.

No matter how great the woman's contributions were, they should be ignored.
