Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

"I am the captain in charge of protecting Ms. Tang. I am Battalion Commander Wang Shaoyu, currently serving in the Northwest Military Region. My orders are to protect Ms. Tang in her research and development of new crops."

Previously in North China, Ms. Tang had successfully grown various crops such as drought-resistant rice and drought-tolerant crops. Now, she has begun to widely plant Ms. Tang's drought-resistant rice in the arid northern regions.

Because of the severity of the disaster here, the government decided to send Ms. Tang here to help you revive your agricultural industry. We hope everyone can cooperate.

Some villagers believed Wang Shaoyu's words; after all, people in this era still tend to blindly trust soldiers.

But some die-hards still didn't believe it. "Then why don't you bring your drought-resistant rice here to test it? Now that you want to expropriate our land, you have to show some sincerity before we can be convinced."

No sooner had this villager finished speaking than the other villagers, who had initially intended to agree, turned against him.

Qiu Tong stopped Wang Shaoyu from continuing to persuade her, and stepped forward directly, saying domineeringly, "Drought-resistant rice is not suitable for planting in your area."

We need to choose crops to plant according to local conditions; not all agricultural products can be grown everywhere.

If you are unwilling to provide land, that's fine too. We are not only choosing your village. If you don't cooperate, there are other villages that can cooperate with us.

But don't blame me for not warning you, the first batch of crops planted can solve your current food crisis.

"Once I successfully cultivate it elsewhere, I'll share the cultivation methods with you. I wonder how many households will be able to persist until then."

Qiu Tong was not exaggerating. The current natural disasters are nationwide. Although she is confident that she can successfully cultivate the crops, the country will not blindly allow her methods to be widely disseminated before she sees results.

Conversely, the first village to try planting crabs, that is, the first village to provide land for Qiu Tong to experiment with planting, will be able to harvest their first batch of grain a few months later, which will greatly alleviate the village's food pressure.

Other villages can only use Qiu Tong's method to plant daylilies after the experiment is successful, by which time it will be too late.

Qiu Tong is not a god; he cannot shorten the ripening time of crops, nor can he instantly save the entire nation from hunger.

She can only proceed step by step, doing what she can do for now, and she herself cannot guarantee what the final outcome will be.

The villager who had spoken earlier still refused to back down, saying, "Don't think that just because you say so, we'll agree. Like I said, we won't agree unless you show sincerity."

The man thought that if he said that, Qiu Tong and the others would surely compromise and provide them with some food.

Qiu Tong wasn't going to put up with these people. "If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about."

After saying that, she turned and left with her brothers, heartlessly ignoring the other villagers' attempts to persuade her to stay.

The villager who tried to take advantage of the situation was also surrounded and attacked by the other villagers.

Wang Shaoyu caught up with Qiu Tong and whispered, "Are you really leaving like this?"

Qiu Tong glanced at him sideways and said dismissively, "What do you think? They're already making things difficult for us. Do you think it's possible for us to farm peacefully in the future?"

They weren't the only option; it's just that their location had better geographical conditions, which is why I chose this place.

Since the villagers here are not cooperating, we will go find a village that can cooperate with us.

We're doing this for them, and since they don't appreciate it, why should we bother trying to win them over?

This was the first time Wang Shaoyu had felt Qiu Tong act so decisively, which made his heart race.

Everyone had long since taken Qiu Tong's words as the standard, and whatever she said went.

Some villagers saw Qiu Tong and the others leave without looking back and were so anxious that they wanted to chase after them.

The village chief, standing behind them, disagreed, thinking that Qiu Tong and the others were just putting on an act and would surely come back to beg them again soon.

He had instructed the villager to say those things from the beginning, hoping to gain some benefit from it, but the villager was completely unmoved.

The village chief was unaware that his wrong choice would cause his village heavy losses.

Qiu Tong led everyone to the second choice, Fu Lu Shou Village. Just from the name of the village, you can tell that the elderly in this village live long lives.

However, this village was even more gloomy than the one we had visited before. Everyone was staying indoors, and the crops in the fields were flooded, with no one coming to rescue them.

Seeing this, Qiu Tong quickly organized everyone to go to the fields to rescue the crops that had not yet been drowned.

After working for most of the day, I finally met a villager from Fulu Shou Village.

It was an elderly man who came over to check after seeing people walking around in the field.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these people were all strangers from outside the village, but a large portion of them were wearing military uniforms, and the old man stood helplessly by the field.

Aiguo and a few others, instructed by Qiutong, went to the old man's side, intending to find out from him why the village had become so miserable.

Although the old man was wary of strangers, he was quite unguarded with Aiguo and the other children, revealing all the details about the village.

After the old man arrived, Qiu Tong told everyone to stop, as most of the crops in the field had already been flooded and there was nothing she could do to save them.

Just then, a local villager approached, so she asked everyone to stop and listen to what he had to say.

The old man was so engrossed in Aiguo and his friends that he didn't notice Qiutong and the others had stopped to watch him.

"Alas! The village has always relied on growing these rice and wheat crops for a living, but now the fields are all flooded, and everyone is in despair."

All the crops in the fields were flooded, the villagers saw no future, and some left..."

The old man kept rambling on and on, but what he was really saying was that because the fields were flooded, most of the villagers had fled.

This is just like the situation in Caihua Village, except that fewer people have left here compared to Caihua Village.

At least half of the villagers have not yet left, but they are staying at home and not going out.

Qiu Tong found it really strange. The fields were flooded, so why were those villagers hiding in their homes?

If they had rescued these crops earlier, they might have been able to save some of them.

Later, after the old man continued his story, I learned why they had been hiding at home.

"Everyone is at home praying to the local earth god, hoping that the gods can help them get through this difficult time."

After listening to the old man's words, Qiu Tong fell silent. She had forgotten that people in some parts of the South were very superstitious and believed in ghosts and supernatural powers.

When faced with natural disasters like the one we see now, people feel it's divine punishment, and they'd rather pray to gods and Buddhas than go to the fields to save the remaining crops.

Qiu Tong didn't know what to say, and could only listen silently as the old man muttered to himself.

In the end, Wang Shaoyu stepped in, interrupted the old man's ramblings, and rescued the three patriotic brothers.

Patriots' faces were already etched with pain, clearly showing their despair at the old man's repeated words.

But they didn't know how to stop the old woman's nagging, so they could only look to Qiu Tong for help.

Upon receiving their distress signal, Wang Shaoyu, wanting to make a good impression on Qiu Tong, would never let Qiu Tong show up.

She was one step ahead of Qiu Tong and stepped forward to stop the old man from continuing his conversation.

"Sir, we are people sent here by the government to study new plans for rectifying arable land."

"From now on, we will be requisitioning land in your Fulushou Village for research and development purposes."

The old man exclaimed in shock, "What! Land requisition! If you take it for your own use, what will we use to farm?"

Upon hearing the old man's question, Wang Shaoyu and Qiu Tong realized that the other had misunderstood.

Wang Shaoyu replied, "You misunderstand. We are only requisitioning the land, but we will not take it away from you."

They will simply requisition your village's land to grow the latest crops, but the majority of the harvested produce will still belong to you.

Your village will be recognized as a national model unit, leading other villages in the southern region in planting the latest batch of crops.

This is Ms. Tang Zhaodi, an expert from our agricultural department; she is in charge of this research and development project.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that their land would not be taken away.

But when he heard that it was this young girl in front of him who was in charge, his heart jumped again.

Everyone could see his fear, but there was no point in saying anything now. Even if they tried to comfort him, the old man might not listen.

We need to take concrete actions and achieve some results before we can persuade him.

However, just because Qiu Tong didn't say anything doesn't mean Wang Shaoyu wouldn't.

He spared no effort in promoting Qiu Tong, saying, "Old man, don't underestimate Ms. Tang just because she's young; she's very accomplished."

The drought-resistant rice currently popular in North China was developed by Ms. Tang.

This matter has already been spread through newspapers, radio, and other platforms.

Related information was also posted on bulletin boards in communes across the country, so that people all over the country knew about it.

Hearing Wang Shaoyu say that the drought-resistant rice was developed by Qiu Tong, the old man gained a little more confidence in Qiu Tong.

However, Qiu Tong looked so young that the old man still felt uneasy.

After all, the situation here is different from that in North China; drought-resistant rice cannot be grown here.

North China has many arid lands, but this place frequently suffers from floods and other disasters, which is completely opposite to the situation in North China.
