Guo Rong, a hundred household in the Warriors Camp, returned home with a heavy twenty taels of silver. At this time, he was still holding his horse with a thousand miles away.

Guo Rong was in a good mood. After all, he already had enough money, so he didn't have to sell his Qianlijiao.

Twenty taels of silver were a huge sum of money for even Guo Rong, who was a 100-year-old official, because it was enough to ensure that his family could have a year of food and clothing.

Therefore, Guo Rong was very grateful to Emperor Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao. He couldn't help but think that the current emperor is so good. It is different from the previous Ministry of War. He directly distributed silver and paid in full, and even issued more year-end rewards.

Guo Rong still remembers that the new Ming Emperor said that the salary will be paid in full in the future and money will be distributed. For a moment, Guo Rong couldn't help but look forward to his future happy life.

According to his own treatment of a hundred households, if he could pay the full salary and all the money was discounted, he could also collect about 60 taels of silver a year. This would not only ensure that his family could have enough food and clothing, but also buy a few new clothes or even buy a house.

The housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were not less expensive than those in the later Beijing city. Many officials only rented houses in the capital. Naturally, the officials like Guo Rong, who were transferred to Beijing from other places, were also the same. Moreover, he could only rent in a relatively remote place in the outer city. He had to afford to go to the Qianhu House every day and could not keep warm with his wife for a while.

But now, if the court can really pay full salary every year, he can save about a hundred taels of silver to buy a yard in the market near the inner city within a few years.

Guo Rong began to look forward to his life, and what made him even more anticipated was that the emperor said that he would take them to fight the Tartars in the future. Although Guo Rong didn't study much, he also heard the sentence of governor Zhao, "Famousness is only obtained from the horse." He agreed with this sentence very much and knew that his future wealth could only come from the battlefield.

He longed for war, especially when he remembered His Majesty's statement that the Tartars killed and plundered border people in the border town.

Guo Rong was originally a military household in the border town. He was transferred to Beijing for his merits in saving the governor, Mr. Zhao, to avoid suffering from bleeding in the border town. However, he is a young man, a bloody man, and an excellent border town horse army. Therefore, he has always had the idea of ​​killing enemies to seek wealth. Now the words of the Emperor Ming Dynasty have made his heart stronger.

It was late at night, and Guo Rong was not in a hurry to go home. He went to a familiar blacksmith shop, a blacksmith shop he knew, knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop, and gave the blacksmith one tael of silver: "Lin Blacksmith, use the good iron here, I will use the good knife! I will use it to kill the Tartars in the future!"

There are many officials in the capital, and there are more sixth-rank military officers like Guo Rong. Although Lin Blacksmith is a craftsman, he has seen many officials. He is not afraid of Guo Rong. He only smiled in surprise: "When did Lord Guo be so generous, and he even took out a tael of silver to build a good knife?"

"The court has given me a fortune of rice, a full twenty taels of silver! Now I have met a good emperor."

Guo Rong and Lin Blacksmith were old acquaintances, so they were not very restrained. They started chatting after taking the money.

In the eyes of Guo Rong and others, whether the emperor is good or bad depends on whether he follows Confucian etiquette or whether he is cynical or lustful or cruel. As long as he gives him enough salary, he is a good emperor.

Lin Blacksmith did not expect Guo Rong to have so much money at once, and there was a little respect on his face: "Since the 100-household masters are going to build the sword to kill the Tartars, the small ones will definitely be built for you seriously!" At the same time, Lin Blacksmith said: "Is this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty really coming? Even you 100-household masters can receive twenty taels of silver."

Guo Rong smiled and said nothing. He went to buy rice and meat again, and then led his horse to his yard. Guo Rong pushed open the wooden door of his hut he rented, put the rice and meat he bought in his hand on the ground, and then tied Qianli Liangjiao in the yard.

Guo Rong loved his horse very much. He couldn't help but touch the horse's face of Qianliliangjiao: "Now you have money, you don't have to just eat grass. I have bought beans and will make bean cakes for you tomorrow! When you eat stronger, we will kill the Tartars together in the future!"

Qianli Liangju sniffed, and seemed to understand Guo Rong's words, and happily rubbed his horse's head against Guo Rong.

Guo Rong chatted with his horse for a while and then returned to his house with rice meat. When Guo Rong's father Guo Yang in the house saw Guo Rong come back, he asked weakly: "Has Marco sold it?"

Guo Rong smiled truthfully and replied: "No!"

Guo Rong's father Guo Yang pointed at Guo Rong powerlessly. Although he could no longer stand up and beat Guo Rong, he was obviously very angry and even his breathing became rapid: "What do you ask me to say to you? Do you really have the heart to starve your son to death? My little grandson is so hungry that he can't cry. If you really don't want to sell horses, then chop your father and feed my grandson."

"What the master said is that it's not that I don't sell horses, but that's no need to sell horses. The court has already distributed rice, and it's over-issued. It's still silver, which is a full twenty taels! I've bought rice meat, and now I'll let Yu Niang cook for you."

As Guo Rong said that, he called out his wife Yu Niang and handed the rice to his wife.

Guo Rong's wife Yu Niang was very happy to see that she had rice and meat, so she hurriedly cooked the meat porridge.

After about half an hour, Yu Niang cooked the meat porridge and gave Guo Rong's father Guo Yang a bowl. She took a bowl to feed the child herself, while Guo Rong took a bowl to accompany her father to drink.

Guo Yang was obviously hungry for a long time, so he impatiently picked up the meat porridge and brought it into his mouth, and he didn't care whether the porridge was hot or not.

Even Guo Rong himself felt that when the hot meat porridge was drunk into his stomach, he felt warm and had the strength to speak.

The father Guo Yang drank two bowls in a row and told his daughter-in-law Yu Niang to eat one quickly. He asked his son Guo Rong: "Why did the court suddenly send Lumi? And you even sent twenty taels?"

"It was done by the emperor himself, and there will be a year-end reward for reissue for three months!" Guo Rong replied.

"We met a good emperor!" Father Guo Rong said and laughed, "To be honest, it was only during the Xuande Dynasty that there was such a rich Lumi."

"Your Majesty also said that you will pay enough money in the future. It can be seen that the new emperor is indeed good to the emperor. I will teach me riding and shooting from tomorrow. I want to go to the battlefield to make contributions in the future. The new emperor seems to have the intention to revitalize my Ming army," said Guo Rong.

His father Guo Yang was even more excited when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Guo Rong to tell the story of his past in the border town.

The next morning, Guo Rong and his father Guo Yang got up early, and Guo Yang continued to teach his son Guo Rong the art of riding and shooting.
