Chapter 10 Promotion
"Lü Gang, take Chen Beihu's body back to the Patrol Division. Everyone gathers at Xiangyun Restaurant. I'm happy today. I've covered all the food and drinks. Just welcome Xiao Song to join us!" Liang Chuanshan laughed. .
"A generous man!"
When the patrolman saw that there was such a good thing, he immediately became happy, and even looked at Song Changming with great pleasure.
After the meal, Liang Chuanshan took Song Changming to the Patrol Division to go through the necessary procedures for promotion.
Soon, Song Changming's name was changed from the night watchman list to the patrol list, and he was under Liang Chuanshan's command without any mistakes.
The patrol's identity token, two sets of dark cyan uniforms with armor, and higher-quality brand-new official swords were all available, and they were all delivered to him on the same day.
"I don't need to say much about the treatment of the patrol guards. They receive a monthly salary of six copper coins, and receive a thousand catties of rice and grain at the end of the year. On the first day of every month, they go to the warehouse officer to receive it.
I think Chief Liang will also ask someone to explain the rest of the errands to you, so I don’t need to say more. "
The civil servant in charge of personnel management of the Patrol Division gave Song Changming a brief introduction.
Song Changming nodded and took note.
"Six dollars a month"
Although Song Changming's character is not too fond of money, the salary increase still makes him quite happy.
You must know that as a night watchman, his monthly salary was only three copper coins.
With this promotion, the salary will be doubled, and the copper coins of Liu Guan will be quite a lot.
Not to mention that there are still thousands of kilograms of rice available at the end of the year. This is one thousand kilograms, which is almost enough for him to eat for a whole year.
Night watchmen do not have the benefit of eating royal food. This is the treatment that only official patrols have.
This is why Song's father hopes that Song Changming will become a patrol guard. It is somewhat similar to the difference between non-staff personnel and internal personnel in the government.
With this salary and conditions, it was 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 be officially on duty tomorrow and report to Chief Liang." The civilian officer of the Patrol Division finally made arrangements for Song Changming and then turned around and left.
"Yes." Song Changming brought two sets of neatly folded official uniforms, with the patrol's identity plate and a brand new official sword stamped on them.
The sabers used by his night watchmen before were basically defective products that failed to be forged, or were reused blades that were eliminated by the patrolmen. The quality was completely incomparable with this brand-new official sword.
This knife is also the piece of patrol equipment that he is most satisfied with, more so than the armored official uniform.
Return home.
Song Changming specially called Song's father and mother to show off the official uniforms in his hands.
"The official uniform of the patrol?!" Father Song recognized the official uniform at a glance. The gray beard on his face was trembling slightly, and he couldn't believe it.
He didn't understand how his son became a patrolman when he was out of the house.
Song Changming briefly told the story of his meritorious service, which immediately made Song's father very happy.
"Okay! Okay! Chang Ming is going to be successful!"
Mother Song on the side was also smiling, and she felt like she hoped her son would become a dragon.
"I have become a patrol officer of the government at such a young age. I wonder if my son will also become the patrol chief in the future!" Song's father said happily.
"Dad, you don't have to go in person to send gifts to the Zhao family 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, but he swallowed his anger when he was rejected. All he did was to give Song Changming a chance to become a patrolman.
Now, Song Changming strives for his best and has become a patrolman.
He doesn't have to worry about it any more.
That night, the Song family was full of joy, and Song's father had a rare drink.
In Song Changming's impression, his parents had never been so happy since his eldest brother and second brother died on the battlefield. Part of the reason why he was so actively preparing to become a patrolman was because he wanted his parents to get what they wanted and be happy.
After the patrolmen's salaries are paid out, the family will no longer have to worry about money and food.
In this way, it will all be worth it.
After dinner in the evening, Song Changming continued today's sword practice while the state of God's reward was still there.
After midnight, he estimated that the state of his sword practice would change. It would most likely become a state of concentration, and the effect of his sword practice would not be as good.
While practicing swordplay, he unconsciously reviewed the scene of his fight with Chen Beihu during the day in his mind.
Fighting against masters is a valuable practical experience, which is worthy of his constant review and learning from it.
Especially the opponent's set of broad-opening and closing sword skills has definitely reached the level of Xiaocheng, and he has an indomitable and domineering sword power.
Unfortunately, the opponent was seriously injured and could no longer exert the power of this set of sword skills.
Song Changming could vaguely feel that in terms of sword skills alone, he was actually not much inferior to his opponent.
But in terms of strength, he is far behind.
The opponent's strength is either born with divine power, or acquired through physical training.
During this battle, Song Changming also realized his current shortcomings.
Even though his sword skills have made good progress, his unfinished physical strength is holding him back a bit.
Without a strong body of flesh and blood to support him, no matter how exquisite the sword skill in his hand is, the final power of the sword will be limited.
At this time, the problem returned to the matter of body training.
Sword skill is like a pavilion built layer by layer, and what supports the construction of these layers of pavilions is a solid and reliable foundation.
This foundation is his physical body.
Only the combination of the two is true martial arts training!
He has a set of powerful bull magic skills on hand, but because he has no extra money to prepare, he has never officially started practicing it.
Before that, he thought that after becoming a patrol guard, his monthly salary would be quite a lot.
But now he thought about it, six copper coins a month were not enough for him to practice his body.
According to his understanding, just one 20-year-old wild ginseng per month costs more than ten copper coins in the pharmacy.
The bimonthly medicated bath involves more than ten kinds of medicinal materials. He estimated that one or two copper coins are needed for a medicated bath.
One pack of Bone Building Powder, which needs to be taken once every five days, costs 500 copper coins, which is half the cost. A total of three coins per month is needed.
This is still of average quality, not to mention the cost if you want high-quality Bone Forging Powder.
It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on the monthly salary of the patrol to meet the above training expenses.
The only thing that was better than the night watchman period was the nutritional intake of two kilograms of meat per day, which might satisfy him.
"No matter what, let's practice first."
Although he was still trapped by money, Song Changming had decided to start practicing this powerful Bull Demon Kung Fu.
If you can eat enough meat every day, your body will have sufficient nutritional intake, so that your body will not be depleted and the more you practice, the worse it will become.
As for Tuogu Powder, which is also necessary for practicing Qigong, he has to buy it and take one serving every five days. Song Changming cannot meet this frequency of taking it for the time being, but he can also reduce the number of times he takes it every month.
The worst thing is that the efficiency of bone and body training is low, and the body training effect is unsatisfactory.
But over time, you can always practice it step by step. It just takes longer to settle and polish. This is better than Song Changming shelving this set of physical training martial arts without practicing.
The medicinal bath and expensive wild ginseng are both used to increase the efficiency of training and are used to nourish the body. They are the best if they are available. If you don't have them, you can barely practice first.
