Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 10 Promotion
"Lu Gang, bring Chen Beihu's body back to the Xunjia Division. Everyone gather at the Xiangyun Restaurant. We are happy today, and I will cover all the food and drinks. Just consider it as a welcome for Xiao Song to join us!" Liang Chuanshan laughed.

"The beam is generous!"

When the patrol guards saw this good thing, they immediately became happy and began to look at Song Changming with a more favorable attitude.

After the meal, Liang Chuanshan took Song Changming to the Xunjia Division to handle the procedures required for promotion.

Soon, Song Changming's name was changed from the night watchman's book to the patrol guard's list, and he was under the command of Liang Chuanshan, without any problems.

The patrolman's identity token, two sets of dark blue armored uniforms, and a brand new official sword of higher quality were all delivered to him on the same day.

"I don't think I need to say much about the treatment of patrol guards. The monthly salary is six strings of copper coins, and at the end of the year, a thousand kilograms of rice is collected from the warehouse official on the first day of every month.

As for the rest of the mission, I think Chief Liang will have someone explain it to you, so there is no need for me to say more."

The civil servant in charge of personnel management at the Xunjia Division gave a brief introduction to Song Changming.

Song Changming nodded and took note of it.

"A monthly salary of six kan"

Although Song Changming was not too fond of money, he was still very happy about the salary increase.

You have to know that as a night watchman, his monthly salary and food wages were only three strings of copper coins.

With this promotion, the salary doubled, and six strings of copper coins was a lot.

Not to mention that there is a thousand kilograms of rice to be obtained at the end of the year. This is a thousand kilograms, which is almost enough for him to eat for a whole year.

Night watchmen do not have the benefit of eating the emperor's food. This is a treatment only for official patrol guards.

This is also why Song's father wants Song Changming to be a patrol guard. It is a bit similar to the difference between non-staff and staff in the government.

With this treatment, it is more than enough for Song Changming to support their family.

"Now that you are a patrol guard, you don't have to do the night patrol work tonight. Go back and prepare. You will officially start your work tomorrow and report to Guard Captain Liang." The civil servant of the Patrol Division made arrangements for Song Changming before turning around and leaving.

"Yes." Song Changming was wearing two neatly folded official uniforms, on which were pressed an iron plate of his patrolman's identity and a brand new official sword.

Previously, the swords he carried as a night patrolman were mostly defective products due to failed forging, or blades discarded by patrol guards that were reused. Their quality was incomparable to this brand new official sword.

This knife was also the patrol equipment he was most satisfied with, and he liked it more than the armored official uniform.

Go home.

Song Changming specially called Song's father and mother to show them the official uniform in his hand.

"The patrol guard's official uniform?!" Song's father recognized the uniform at a glance. The gray beard on his face trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe it.

He didn't understand how his son became a patrol guard when he just went out.

Song Changming briefly recounted his achievements, which immediately made his father very happy.

"Good! Good! Changming has made progress!"

Song's mother standing by was also smiling happily, as if she was hoping her son would become successful.

"He has become a government patrol guard at such a young age. Maybe my son will be able to become the patrol chief in the future!" Song's father said happily.

"Dad, you don't have to go to the Zhao family in person to give gifts in the future." Song Changming said suddenly.

"Well, I won't go." Song's father understood what Song Changming meant.

Song's father tried his best to curry favor with the Zhao family and endured the rejection, all for the sake of getting Song Changming a chance to become a patrol guard.

Now, Song Changming has worked hard to become a patrol guard.

There was no need for him to go through so much trouble and bring himself unhappiness.

The Song family was in high spirits that night, and Song's father drank two more glasses, which was rare.

Song Changming remembered that his parents had never been so happy since his elder and second brothers died on the battlefield. He was so active in preparing to be a patrol guard, partly because he wanted to make his parents happy.

Once the patrol guards' salaries are paid, the family won't have to worry about money and food anymore.

Then it's all worth it.

After dinner in the evening, taking advantage of the fact that hard work is still rewarded, Song Changming continued his sword practice today.

After midnight, he estimated that the state of his sword practice would change. He would most likely become too focused and the effect of his sword practice would not be that good.

While practicing sword skills, his mind unconsciously recalled the scene of his fight with Chen Beihu during the day.

Fighting with masters is a valuable practical experience, which is worth his constant review and learning from.

Especially the opponent's powerful sword skills, which had definitely reached the minor success level, with an unstoppable and domineering sword force.

It’s a pity that the opponent was seriously injured and could no longer exert the full power of this sword skill.

Song Changming could vaguely feel that in terms of swordsmanship alone, he was actually not much inferior to the other party.

But in terms of strength, he is far behind.

The opponent's strength is either innate or acquired through physical training.

After this battle, Song Changming also realized his current shortcomings.

Even though his swordsmanship had improved quite a bit, his lack of physical strength was a bit of a hindrance.

Without a strong body of flesh and blood to support him, no matter how exquisite his sword skills are, the power he can ultimately exert will be limited.

At this point, the question returns to the issue of body training.

Sword skills are like a building that is built up layer by layer, and what supports these buildings is a solid foundation.

This foundation is his physical body.

Only when the two are combined can you truly practice martial arts!
He had a set of powerful Bull Demon Kung Fu on hand, but because he had no extra money, he had never started practicing it formally.

Before this, he thought that his monthly salary would be quite high after becoming a patrol guard.

But now he thought again, six strings of copper coins a month was not enough for him to spend on body training.

According to his understanding, the pharmacy would charge more than ten strings of copper coins for a twenty-year-old wild ginseng every month.

The medicinal bath held every half month involved more than ten kinds of medicinal materials. He estimated that one bath would cost one or two strings of copper coins.

The bone-strengthening powder needs to be taken once every five days. One packet costs five hundred copper coins, which is the cost of half a string of copper coins. In total, three strings of copper coins are needed per month.

This is still of average quality. If you want high-quality bone-strengthening powder, the cost will be even higher.

It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on the monthly salary of the patrol guards to meet the above physical training expenses.

The only thing that is better than when he was a night watchman is the nutritional intake of two pounds of meat every day. Maybe that can satisfy him.

"Anyway, let's practice first."

Although he is still troubled by money, Song Changming has decided to start practicing this powerful Bull Demon Kung Fu.

If you eat a lot of meat every day, your body will have enough nutrition intake and will not become depleted, causing your body to get worse the more you exercise.

As for the Bone Strengthening Powder, it is also necessary for practicing martial arts, so he has to buy it and take one portion every five days. Song Changming cannot meet this frequency for the time being, but he can also reduce the number of times he takes it per month.

The worst that could happen is that the efficiency of bone and body strengthening is a little low, and the results of body strengthening are not satisfactory.

But with the accumulation of time, one can always master it step by step. It just takes a longer time to settle and polish it. This is better than Song Changming putting aside this set of body-building martial arts and not practicing it.

As for the medicinal bath and the expensive wild ginseng, they can both increase the efficiency of practicing exercises and are used to nourish the body. It would be best to have them, but if you don't have them you can at least practice them first.
