Chapter 1133: Promoted Deputy General Cheng

When Qiao Ran heard this, she looked at Mo Beihan. Neither of them had expected that someone had set up an immortality tablet for them.

"This is too much of a waste of time and money."

Qiao Ran said disapprovingly.

Just remember the kindness in your heart. Mobilizing such a large number of troops really makes her feel uneasy.

Liu Wenzhang said hurriedly:

"Miss Qiao, don't worry. The bulk of the money for building the ancestral temple was paid for by the local gentry. We all advise the villagers to do what they can. Not only have you saved our lives, but you have also saved our descendants from having to endure banditry and allowing them to grow up in peace. This is a great favor."

Moreover, with the banditry gone, and the seeds and breeding methods Miss Qiao gave us last time, the villagers have seen a significant increase in their harvests, whether fishing or growing crops. Their living standards have improved greatly, and everyone is willing to donate money."

Things have come to this point, and Qiao Ran has no choice.

Since the villagers have expressed their gratitude in the simplest way they can think of, she cannot let everyone down.

This time I took my family to Agate Island, firstly to let them see the place where my father once lived, appreciate the sea scenery and exotic customs, and have a relaxing vacation after the shock of a series of wars.

Secondly, it is also to re-ensure the defense security of the Agate Kingdom and help them strengthen it, so that they can not only better guard the country and sea area, but also guard the customs for Dai Viet and prevent other countries from harassing and invading Dai Viet through this sea area.

Only when the Agate Kingdom becomes stronger will Tongnan Town be safer.

Therefore, objectively speaking, the people of Tongnan Town should indeed be grateful to Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan. It was these two people who brought them a peaceful and tranquil life, so that they and their descendants no longer had to endure the cruel looting and killing by the Japanese pirates.

After lunch, before the Qiao family had time to experience the fun of sea fishing, the navy camp's boat arrived.

Compared to the last time when only three ships and more than 300 people were sent, the Navy Battalion was much more generous this time and directly sent ten large ships and 500 Navy Battalion officers and soldiers.

The team was still led by Cheng Qin, but he was no longer a deputy general. Instead, he was promoted to general commanding ten warships.

General Cheng, who had been promoted, was many times more enthusiastic than the last time they met.

Thinking back to the time when General Cheng first met Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan, the two "young masters" from the capital, the disdain and contempt that he could not hide seemed to still be before his eyes.

However, during this meeting, he, who had been promoted to general, knew very well that his promotion was due to these two people, and in their interactions along the way, he had already been impressed by their abilities and character.

As soon as the boat docked, General Cheng came forward trotting from the boat to greet us.

"Your humble servant welcomes the prince and princess! You two must have had a hard journey! I've specially ordered your cabins to be reserved and cleaned. Please come aboard!"

He knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.

Mo Beihan took a step forward and extended his hand to support him:

"General Cheng, no need to be so polite, please stand up!"

Qiao Ran also smiled and said:

"Congratulations, General Cheng, on your promotion! General Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. Please address us the same way as last time!"

He turned around again and pointed at his family behind him:

"General Cheng, these are my family members. How many cabins can you arrange for them?"

General Cheng quickly greeted the Qiao family and replied:

"Don't worry, Miss Qiao. We have ten large ships this time, and there are plenty of cabins! In addition to the five hundred sailors from the Navy Battalion and the more than one thousand brothers you two brought with you, we've already made ten rooms for your family. If that's not enough, you brothers can squeeze in."
