The next day, it was dawn.
Jiang Yuechu It's rare to get up so early.
I couldn't sleep, so I simply got up and performed a set of <Yin-Yang Vertical and Horizontal Hand> in the courtyard. I stretched my fists and slowly breathed in and out until the heat in my body completely subsided, then I stopped and stood still.
Just as he was about to go back to the house, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door.
"Lord Jiang."
A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Yuechu was a little confused, so he walked over and pulled the door latch.
Outside the door, several big-bodied men with round waists were waiting respectfully, carrying poles and boxes.
The leader was a tall and thin accountant-like man.
"Lord Jiang, I am from Capital Bureau Treasury, and I am here to give you this month's salary."
As he spoke, the tall and thin man bowed and saluted, signaling the men behind him to carry the things in.
"Salary?"
Jiang Yuechu was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that today seems to be the day for his salary.
She didn't pay much attention to General of the Guard's salary. She only vaguely remembered that Promotion Bonus received one hundred taels.
As for other things, there aren't too many if you think about it.
But when the men carried all the things into the yard, Jiang Yuechu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Good guy.
The hundred taels of silver are neatly arranged and glowing with a bright luster.
Forty stone meters were piled up like a hill, occupying half of a corner of the yard.
The weights and measures in this world are slightly different from those in her previous life.
One stone weighs about a hundred kilograms, and forty stones weighs four thousand kilograms.
In addition, there are one hundred and twenty kilograms of fine pork and beef, a dozen pieces of fine silk, several jars of old wine, and some odds and ends of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.
The yard of Jiang Yuechu was filled to the brim in an instant, making it look like a Chinese New Year scene.
Seeing Jiang Yuechu's expression of astonishment, the tall and lanky man quickly and carefully explained, "Lord Jiang, you are now a sixth-grade General of the Guard, with a monthly payment of one hundred taels of silver, forty stones of rice, one hundred and twenty kilograms of meat, and these seasonal silks, satins, and drinks, all of which are just for the money."
He paused and then added, "Ordinary Demon Suppression Guard, you need to go to the treasury to collect it by yourself. Lord Jiang has a distinguished status, so naturally the young ones will deliver it to the government in person."
Jiang Yuechu nodded, indicating that she understood.
Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, the tall and thin man bowed again and left with the others.
The courtyard door closed, and Jiang Yuechu looked at the property all over the courtyard, feeling helpless for a moment.
Ordinary people can live happily with only three to five taels of silver a month.
Her one hundred taels of silver, forty stones of rice, one hundred and twenty kilograms of meat, plus the silks, satins and wine, were enough to feed ten families for a year and a half.
Even though she is more able to eat as Core Formation Realm now, how can one person eat so much?
What's more, I don't have much time to eat at home on weekdays. I either go out to perform official duties or go to Wei Qing's house to have a meal.
Such a large amount is probably enough to feed her for half a year...
Jiang Yuechu sighed and started to pack these things based on the principle of not wasting.
Anyway, Demon-Pacifying Ward has good security, and no little thief has ever dared to visit this place. She threw a hundred taels of silver into a half-used wooden box in the house.
Then, he moved the forty stones into the woodshed bag by bag.
Then comes the meat.
She cut the meat into large pieces, salted it, hung some of it under the eaves to dry, and chopped some of it with a knife to prepare some meat sauce.
As for the dozen bolts of silk and satin, as well as several jars of old wine, she also moved them into the house.
You can keep the silk for your own use, or exchange it for some money.
Wine... she doesn't drink much, so it's fine to keep it for entertaining guests.
After a lot of hard work, the small courtyard finally regained some purity.
Jiang Yuechu patted the dust on his hands and looked at the sky, but his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
That's all.
I won't go out for breakfast today.
Rolling up his sleeves, Jiang Yuechu walked into the kitchen, set up the pot, scooped out two scoops of rice, cut off a large piece of meat, chopped it into minced meat, threw it into the pot, and grabbed two handfuls of vegetables.
Soon, a pot of steaming meat porridge exuded an alluring aroma.
Jiang Yuechu held the bowl and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, eating it one bite at a time.
The porridge was very hot and the meat was very fragrant. As for the vegetables... she bought them half a month ago, they were a little wilted and the taste was not very good.
She was eating and thinking.
There is no need to worry about Commander.
Now it is just a name, and it has not been announced to the public. I don't know how long it will take for her to reach Lotus-Planting Realm.
Right now, the most important things are only two things.
First, it's time to go out and find monsters to kill.
If people from Treasure Monastery hadn't come suddenly, we wouldn't have stayed here for so long.
She knows her own background. Without Dao Cultivation's support, her so-called talent is just a castle in the air.
Now, with her Core Formation Realm level cultivation, one-on-one, she might be able to easily deal with a strong person in the same level.
But what if it's a pair of ten?
Or to be more exaggerated, the enemy was so crazy that he sent hundreds of the Core Formation Realm to deal with him...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu's eyes became sharper.
In this world, there is never a shortage of examples of bullying by the more powerful, but her current level of cultivation is far from enough to allow her to sit back and relax.
At the very least, you have to enter Ink-Dotting Realm first.
Secondly, it is time to find out the truth and falsehood of Jeweled Temple earlier.
Now that she has killed Wangchen, there is absolutely no room for change with Treasure Monastery.
She, Jiang Yuechu, is never one to sit back and wait for death.
Since you have a grudge, how can you wait for the other party to come to you?
Rather than passively accept the move...
It is better to strike first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu took a few mouthfuls to clean the porridge in the bowl, stood up and finished cleaning it up.
It's time to go out.
Heaven Battalion.
Jiang Yuechu stepped in and noticed that there were many new faces today.
Seeing her come in, those people just glanced at her, nodded, said hello, and then focused on their own affairs.
To be able to enter Heaven Battalion, strength, talent, and luck are all indispensable. Very few people will find trouble just because the other person is a woman.
Li Qingyuan and Shi Chongyue were preparing to leave the camp. When they saw her, they immediately greeted her.
"Miss Jiang."
Li Qingyuan cupped his fists, his tone as gentle as ever.
Jiang Yuechu replied politely and asked casually, "Are you going..."
Li Qingyuan smiled and explained, "Accompany Brother Shi on a trip. He is preparing to break through the Core Formation Realm and needs some special items. I will accompany him to find them."
Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed across Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
"Oh... then you are busy."
She responded perfunctorily.
It turns out I wasn't going to slay demons...
Li Qingyuan Seeing that she seemed to be uninterested, he thought for a while and suddenly said, "Miss Jiang Do you have time? Regarding the last incident Black River White Flood Dragon, Si Li has found some clues and has not yet explained it to the girl."
Jiang Yuechu paused, turned his head, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "White Flood Dragon?"
