Chapter 149: Chapter 145 Inspecting the Garrison

The next day, Yang Zhenshan brought over a dozen carts of grain and two large boxes of Silver Coin to City Gate Castle again.

Under the expectant gaze of the soldiers, Yang Zhenshan handed out the food and Silver Coin to them, one by one.

In fact, each soldier didn’t receive much in terms of food and Silver Coin, only about three pecks of grain and one ounce of Silver, but this was considered a bonus income, not included in their military salaries.

The soldiers were all very happy about this, and their hearts filled with more recognition and respect for Yang Zhenshan.

The truth was, as training progressed, Yang Zhenshan’s image had already grown towering in their minds.

Training was hard. So hard, in fact, that many had complained.

But whenever they ate a meal dotted with oil spots, their complaints dissipated.

Eating their fill was still their biggest desire.

Don’t look at them as having followed Xu Wanfu, who had plenty of Silver in his hands. In reality, whether Xu Wanfu had Silver had nothing to do with them; Xu Wanfu was not the kind to generously share his Silver with them.

At most, Xu Wanfu didn’t deduct from their military salaries, but the problem was that the rations from above were insufficient, and Xu Wanfu wouldn’t contribute his own Silver to make up the difference.

Therefore, these soldiers were never able to receive full military salaries in the past.

But Yang Zhenshan not only ensured they had enough to eat but also gave them full military salaries, and even distributed a holiday bonus come the New Year’s celebration.

With such a commander, they wouldn’t just train – they’d climb up mountains and descend into seas of flames if required, gritting their teeth and persevering.

Of course, for now, they were only at the stage of gritting their teeth and persevering. To willingly brave fire and water for Yang Zhenshan, he still needed to continue his benevolence.

“Thank you, Mr. Xie, for the reward!”

On the training field, a soldier who had just received his grain wiped tears from his eyes as he knelt and thanked Yang Zhenshan with his head touching the ground.

The sight stunned Yang Zhenshan.

Other soldiers had also thanked him before, but only with a salute and clasped fists. This was the first time someone knelt.

“The ground is cold, get up!” Yang Zhenshan said gently.
