Chapter 149 - 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.
