Chapter 148 - 144: It’s Time to Find a Wife!
At night, in the main courtyard’s study, Yang Zhenshan was hunched over his desk, calculating the remaining grain and Silver Coin in the government office.
He hadn’t gone to Songzhou Guard merely to deliver New Year’s gifts; he was also there to request grain and salary.
After accepting Yu Lu as his guest, Sha Pingchuan generously fulfilled his request, promising that within three days, the full amount of grain and salary would be transported to An Yuan State City.
That was the part that Yang Zhenshan found odd, but whether it was odd or not didn’t matter anymore. What he was considering now was how much benefit to distribute to the soldiers.
The soldiers of the garrison camp should receive their share, and so should the soldiers inside the garrison outside the city.

At the same time, he could seize the opportunity to court favor, ensuring that all the soldiers and military households under the command of the garrison office were aware of his generosity.
This way, he would face less resistance when dealing with the officials of the garrison after the New Year.
