Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 36: Promotion Again Part

As he walked into the courtyard, all the patrol guards under his command stood up and saluted.

"Well, no need to be polite. You should do what you did in the past as well. If there are any tasks assigned by the superiors, I will inform you." Song Changming smiled faintly, which was not much different from when he was a deputy before.

Seeing this, all the patrol team members breathed a sigh of relief.

Their nervousness was not without reason. In the past, they had heard or seen many things about new officials taking office.

Many newly appointed patrol chiefs usually want to establish their authority by punishing their subordinates for a few random things in order to gain people's respect.

What's worse, they may even ignore old friendships and severely punish their subordinates, or simply lay off one or two of them, which is frightening.

In comparison, Song Changming seemed much gentler after taking office, and did not torment his subordinates for false charges.

This is naturally a good thing for them.

While the patrol guards were busy with their work, Song Changming stayed in the small courtyard of the Patrol Armor Division.

As the chief patrol officer, he didn't need to do daily street patrols or other trivial tasks.

As long as there is no task given by his superiors, he can arrange his working hours at will. Even if he takes a nap in the yard, no one can stop him.

This is also his privilege as the patrol chief.

On weekdays, he would drink tea and practice sword skills in the Patrol Guard Division, which made him feel much more comfortable than when he was a patrol guard before.

In addition, after a period of unsuccessful searching for Liu Xiangnan, the matter of Liu Xiangnan has gradually subsided in the city.

Liu Xiangnan and the Xiaoyao Sword Zhao Dongming who had shown his face before were both on the government's wanted list.

A reward of 10,000 silver coins per person!
This number is enough to show how much the government values ​​these two people.

Nothing happened that day. Before dusk, Song Changming dismissed his patrol team and went off work on time.

As he walked out of the courtyard, he seemed to sense something and looked sideways.

Just then, I saw a man turn around and walk away silently in the corridor on the other side of the Patrol Armor Division.

This person was Sun Wenyan’s former deputy, Wang Xianwen.

Later, after Lu Gang took office, he became Lu Gang's deputy.

It is said that Song Changming had a feud with him in the past, but after Sun Wenyan's death, Wang Xianwen became much more low-key and did not dare to cause trouble for Song Changming again.

Up to now, Song Changming has become the new patrol chief, and his status is one level lower than the other party.

When the two of them talked again, the other party had to bow respectfully to him, so he didn't dare to look for him.

Song Changming didn't pay much attention to the other party. After leaving the Patrol Armor Division, he walked home.

Now that Liang Chuanshan has just become the director, he has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so it has been a while since I last had a drink with him.

"Ok?"

When I passed by the dead tree, I saw the two puppies were still there.

The sun is setting and the temperature is not as warm as it was during the day. The two little puppies are shivering from the cold and are curling up tighter together.

Hearing Song Changming's approaching footsteps, the little puppy, who still couldn't open his eyes, perhaps thought that his mother had returned, and started barking.

Song Changming looked at the sky, bent down, picked up the two puppies, and returned home.

"Huh?" Song's father, who was scattering food beside the water tank, saw the two puppies Song Changming brought back and couldn't help but wonder, "I remember you were afraid of dogs when you were a child."

"You also said it was a childhood thing, so why should I be afraid now?" Song Changming said with a smile, putting the puppy on the ground in the yard, and preparing to go to the kitchen to get some leftover goat milk from yesterday.

"That's right, now you are the patrol chief, that's amazing." Song's father said with a smile. These days, when he heard that Song Changming was already the patrol chief, he would wake up laughing at night, as if he was dreaming.

Song Changming, his youngest child, brought him great surprises time and time again.

He felt that the Song family's fortunes had finally turned.

"These two puppies are so lucky. Now that they have entered our family, they will never have to worry about food and drink." Father Song bent down and teased the puppies. Now he was in a good mood when he saw everything.

Song Changming put down the goat milk, and the two hungry puppies immediately lowered their heads to lick it fiercely, with their thin and short tails raised high, their bodies shaking and a little unsteady.

"Okay, I'll take care of it when you're not around." Song's father laughed.

"It's time to eat." Song's mother brought the dishes and placed them on the stone table under the old locust tree in the yard.

The house is stuffy in the summer, so the family usually eats dinner in the yard.

Now that Song Changming has been promoted step by step, the food at home has also been getting better and better. Not only is there meat for every meal, but there is also a variety of fresh seafood.

A table full of dishes is enough to meet Song Changming's daily nutritional needs for martial arts training.

Now that Song Changming is the patrol chief, at his level, his salary is no longer in copper coins, but in silver, pure silver.

He received thirty silver coins per month and three thousand kilograms of rice every year, which was far more than what an ordinary patrol guard could get.

And this is just the basic salary, not including the gifts and bounties that can be collected every year.

Originally, Song Changming thought that he would have to wait until the blue water silkworms were raised to a certain scale before he would have enough money to support his full-speed martial arts training.

But now that he had become the chief of patrol guards, he did a quick calculation and found that the monthly salary he received from the court alone was enough to basically meet his needs for martial arts training.

One piece of wild ginseng per month, a medicinal bath once every half month, a packet of bone-strengthening powder every five days, and large amounts of meat, vegetables and fruits every day, all these conditions can be met.

He even has enough spare energy to select wild ginseng that is older and better quality medicinal materials.

In this way, his body refining efficiency can be further accelerated.

Besides, in a few days, he would be twenty years old, and it would be time for another annual evaluation.

Recently he has been waiting for this annual evaluation, which may be an important opportunity to directly improve his strength.

After dinner, Song Changming practiced martial arts while building a puppy house for the two puppies with wood. He placed it under the locust tree in the yard and used some hay as a mat to keep it warm enough.

The two puppies ate and then went to sleep. At least they survived tonight.

a few days later.

Song's father originally wanted to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Song Changming, after all, his status is different now.

But Song Changming felt that it was unnecessary, so he simply closed the door and conducted the ceremony in the same simple way as his two elder brothers' coming-of-age ceremonies in the past.

That night, Song Changming practiced swordplay until late at night. He looked at the sky, and when it was almost time, he sat down on the stone bench in the yard and opened the panel to check.

[Annual Evaluation: This year was a year of good harvest. In terms of martial arts, I mastered the Soul-Breaking Sword and learned two high-level martial arts.

In terms of power and connections, he helped Liang Chuanshan become the director and became his backer. In prison, he met the great hero Liu Xiangnan and was promoted to patrol chief in the Houli Street Patrol Division.

As for your family, your parents are proud of you and bring honor to the family.】

【Please select the annual reward. 】
