On the sixth day of the October lunar month, the beginning of winter.

This is both the joy of harvest and the morning wind. In the south, it is still a warm autumn with a small spring, but in the desert outside the pass, the cold winter moon with the frozen water and the frozen earth.

Huang Shi looked back at the teaching team barracks of the White Tiger Platform, and his eyes were a little reluctant. A gust of cold wind blew, rolling up the snow on the ground, and the sky was filled with white white hair. He tightened the fire fox fur coat, wrapped the big red brocade clothes inside, and his right hand wearing otter fur gloves held the sword in his palm. Bayegu was heading south. After three months of training in the teaching team, Huang Shi officially completed the rotation training today. When he came, he was just a pre-reserve squad leader. When he left three months later, he had officially become a team leader. In addition to a certificate of graduation covered with the seal of the general, he also obtained one sword at a length and a short sword.

The knife is a long sword, called the horse-cutting. Compared with the horizontal swords issued by ordinary soldiers, it is somewhat similar to the horizontal swords, but longer than the horizontal swords. The single-edged straight blade tip of the horizontal sword, the horse-cutting I just got is longer, and it is a single-edged scimitar. The blade part alone is already three feet and eight inches long, one foot and two inches long, and the total length is five feet, and it weighs five kilograms. Compared with the horizontal swords of ordinary soldiers, the weight and length have increased a lot. This is also the sword used by team-level officers today, which is thicker and sharper. Especially suitable for holding a knife with both hands. He even saw Yi Shuai use a newly made horse-cutting, which really cuts the horse's head down with one knife.

However, compared to this saberiot that weighs five kilograms, Huangshi's more precious thing at this time is the dagger.

His saberata is a team-level officer's sword. The handle of the knife is not a ring head, but the head of a beast. It is a head of a beast. It is a head of a sword. With just one glance, the rank of the sword can be distinguished by the head of the beast on the hilt of the officer's knife. The tiger, leopard, bear, and trunk are all fierce beasts. When Huangdi fought against Chiyou, his army under his command took the title of tiger, leopard, and bear. The Wuzhou Army now has the number 43 General Number, but it is actually the fourth-grade level 16 and 43 level. The fourth-grade level is from the ninth to the sixth level, and the sixth level 16 is the fourth-grade level 16, and each level 16 is the fourth-grade level 4, so the rank of the forty-three general is actually level 16, but some level 1 has two levels or even sixth and seventh level. Doing so is to give officers more room for improvement. From an organizational perspective, it is very necessary.

The fourth grade 16th grade, sixth grade red, seventh grade green, eighth grade blue, and nineth grade blue, each grade corresponds to two dark colors. The colors of the helmet tassels of the officers are the corresponding ranks and can be seen at a glance on the battlefield. Even the swords they wear can be marked with grades, sixth grade tiger head, seventh grade leopard head, eighth grade bear head. The ninth grade crotch head, yellow stone is the new team head, and the felt hat and the tassels on the iron helmet are both the ninth grade dark blue. The head of the sword that slashes the horse slashes is a golden gold-plated tiger head. The bottom of the nine is a dark blue tassel, and the hilt of the sword is a silver tiger. The team deputy is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the nine is a light blue tassel from the iron tiger.

The dark blue helmet tassel on the helmet and the golden tiger head on the upper handle of the sabre all clearly show the identity of Huangshi as a new team leader at this time.

However, the short sword on his waist is not something that everyone can get. This short sword is one foot three long and is extremely sharp. But the most important thing is that this short sword is given by Yi Shuai, and not all officers are given, but only when the military officers graduated from the martial arts lecture hall. On the hilt of his sword is engraved with the gift of the brave - Yi Lingyun, and there is a row of small characters on the other side, the Soul of the Soldier, the First Training Officer Memorial for the Training Team of the Sui Wuzhou Martial Arts Hall.

Because of the words on the hilt of the sword, this sword is also called the Lingyun Sword, or the Brave Sword or the Military Soul Sword by the trained officers. Because only the officer squads at all levels trained in the martial arts lecture hall, it is regarded as a proof of Yi Shuai's confidant. Since Huangshi was obtained, it has been extremely precious.

He didn't know that Yi Feng was just a whim, imitating a behavior from later generations. Every trained officer was an elite in the future army, so Yi Feng also attracted and valued these officers and students. Not only did Shan Zheng, who personally served as the martial arts lecture hall, but he also gave Lingyun short sword when he graduated from each class and gave each a "iron blood" commemorative ring. This was also to improve the prestige of these trained officers after they were trained and returned to the army, so that they could better control the army, and at the same time, they also highlighted their relationship with them. The power came from the gun, and the army was the foundation of their establishment. Yi Feng did not forget these.

Wearing officer boots, Huang Shi looked back and looked over for the last time, then turned over the horse and walked towards his home. As a general of the ninth rank, Huang Shi spent twenty-five stakes to buy a war horse at the special price of the officer. This horse belonged to him. Although he had been promoted to the head of the team, what he was going to be the head of the longbow troop in the infantry battalion, which was not worthy of the horse.

However, he had just issued military merit rewards for the Battle of Taoshan, and Li Dong's rewards were also issued. In addition, he earned some extra money for Yi Shuai as a personal guard during this period. After counting the few things together, Huangshi got a large reward that surprised him. A total of 100 silver medals worth one or two denominations were equivalent to a total of 160,000 five-zhu meat good copper coins. Half a year ago, he could not imagine that he could have so much money one day. If a full ten kilograms of silver coins were exchanged for copper coins, it would be a pile of more than 600 kilograms of money that could not be carried by one person.

What's more, he has had a lot of monthly salary and food in the past few months. He bought the 25,000-month war horse without thinking about it.

However, this is not the most expensive expense he spent. Yesterday, he even spent 100,000 yuan in one go and bought a three-entry courtyard house in Dongcheng. However, the money was worth it, and even his father said nothing. The day before yesterday, my father took a family from Huairong's hometown and suddenly came to Huaihuang with a large bag and a small bag. Originally, Huangshi planned to wait for the training to finish, and then he had to go back to his hometown in person and brought the family. However, he did not expect that last time he wrote to his family and told his family that he had already made a fiancée and had become a general, but his father was not willing to wait for a moment. He directly took the family as soon as there were old and young people.

After heading straight for the way, Lao Huangtou thought simple. His son had become an official and now he wanted to marry again. They naturally had to join his son. Secondly, they had to handle the marriage for his son. Of course, this was also the reason why the two eldest sons urged him all day long at home. Both sons were not capable. The honest mountain man was over 20 years old before, but because his family was poor, he could not get a wife. The third son went to join the army, and the youngest son brought back Anjia money to get medicine to cure the wife at home. Later, the son sent the money back, and he used the money to both sons to find the family in the nearby valley and talked about two marriages, and simply handled the family.

Now that the two sons and daughter-in-law heard that their third son had followed good people outside and had become officials, they were not willing to stay in the valley. They were anxious to join their brothers, hoping that their brothers would give him a hand and live a good life.

Huang Shi was indeed a little surprised by the sudden arrival of the family. Originally, the superior said he was going to send troops. He was already preparing to postpone the marriage, but when his parents came, he changed his mind. There were three days to prepare for the war, so he planned to just do the marriage in advance, and his parents also happened to come. After asking about it, Mr. Xu agreed to do the marriage as soon as possible.

Originally, Huangshi's current military officer status could apply for a house to live in, and just pay a small amount of rent. However, after the reward was given, he and the Xu family and their parents discussed it and simply bought a house. After all, a family member had a large family, and the house was too small to live in so many people. Moreover, the house was a big deal, and the family would be better for their own house in the future. It was also because of his military officer status, and he received a discounted price. Otherwise, such a three-entry yard would be more than this price.

I bought a house and a horse, and I went there one hundred and twenty cents at once. Fortunately, the Xu family only accepted the previous ten cents of gifts according to the rules set by the general, but he still bought some gifts to the Xu family. He bought some furniture, etc., and measured several sets of clothes for the family in the tailor shop. It also cost money like flowing water. The large amount of money he gave was almost used soon.

Fortunately, he is now a ninth-rank military general, and his monthly salary is ten jin per month. In addition, he has a total of eight jin per month. In addition, he has fifteen jin per month. Including the monthly salary of 18 jin per month, fifteen jin per month, and even more than the Beijing officials in the court. However, he also knew that the salary of the Wuzhou officers is not low, and there are still many rewards for the military merits, and he is also highly rewarded, but it is prohibited to eat empty salary and drink military blood, and he cannot greedy for military merits.

At that time, there was no other income from the court, such as the government, the government, the Yongye field, the vocational field, and other other income, but the ones that should be purchased were almost done. After the wedding was held, Mrs. Xu would not spend much money after entering the house. Even if the family of more than a dozen people in the family would have to take care of his father-in-law, his salary would be enough. What's more, the war was about to be fought again. Huaihuang was the most important military merits, and the rewards for military merits were the most important. After a war, no matter whether it was promotion or reward, it would be less.

When I rode a horse past the Wu family tofu shop on Nanmen Street, Huangshi got off the horse, tied the horse next to the store, and entered the store. When I was on duty a few days ago, he followed this Wu family store several times and liked the tofu in the store. The soy milk, bean brain, and tofu in the morning were all very fresh and beautiful. In the evening, dried tofu, oil tofu, bean cakes, etc., accompanied by some drinks or wine, and then cooked mutton and pork head meat. That was a very delicious snack, which was their bean sprouts, thousand layers, vegetarian chicken, bean curd, tender tofu, old tofu, etc. When I bought it, it was also a rare fresh dish in winter. After my father ate cabbage and cooked tofu, he was already full of praise. My younger brother and sister asked him to buy some more today.

"General Huang, you are here. I heard that the teaching team has graduated today. Congratulations to General." Wu Silang, the owner of the tofu shop, smiled and stepped forward to congratulate him. Huang Shi came with Yi Feng several times, and had a few midnight snacks when he was resting with his classmates. Therefore, the boss of the Wu family is very familiar with him. This boss is very good at doing business. Knowing that Huang Shi was young, he had already joined the teaching team and would definitely have a bright future in the future, so he spoke very politely.

"Thank you. Wu Dong's tofu is really good. My family praised it after eating it yesterday. Today I have to buy more to go back."

Wu Silang knew about Huang Shi’s wedding tomorrow, and hurriedly said, “Old Master Huang has already taken it. Alas, I should have come to visit me in person, but unfortunately I have been busy all the time. It’s really rude. Tomorrow’s general’s wedding, Xiao Ke will definitely come to congratulate him.”

Huang Shi smiled, "Silang, your business is so prosperous, which is a good thing. I have something to ask for in today. I am going to get married tomorrow. I want to help Silang find a chef with good skills and ask him to help me organize a wedding banquet." Because I suddenly decided to get married early, time was tight. He also heard that although the Wu brothers opened a tofu shop, they had good skills in organizing wedding banquets and were also familiar with each other. So I asked them for help.

"That's an honor, I must do my best." Although time is tight, Wu Shiro did not refuse. This is a rare opportunity to be close to Huangshi. If you don't have this opportunity, how could you miss it?

After a while, Wu Shiling, Dalang of the Wu family, came over with a food box, which had already put a lot of bean-made foods in the Wu family's tofu shop, all kinds of colors. "Since Mr. Huang likes the tofu in our shop, I will also compensate us for the other things. If you like it, we will send some of them every day in the future."

Huangshi wanted to give money, but the Wu brothers refused to ask for it, so they pushed him over. In the end, Huangshi was no longer polite. He talked about the banquet and said goodbye first. Although the marriage was in advance, it was not difficult to find someone to hold a banquet. There were many restaurants in Huaihuang City, and it was OK to find a place to order a meal or even a chef. But he came to find a brother of the Wu family who opened a tofu shop, which was actually for some reason. Just as the Wu brothers made friends with Huangshi, and they took a fancy to him as a general, and also for the reason that he had guarded in front of Yi Feng. Huangshi actually intended to make friends with the Wu brothers, because he knew that Yi Feng was good to the Wu brothers.

The Wu brothers were originally from Hedong, and their family was similar to his Huang family. The Wu brothers were four. They farmed in their hometown in Hedong and plundered the fields. Later, Wu Silang started selling tofu, and went from village to village to sell tofu. The four brothers worked hard for several years and accumulated some capital. Before, they heard the timber merchants in their hometown talk about the current business opportunities in Huaihuang, so they also made up their belongings. They wanted to come to Huaihuang to make a fortune, sell some good wine from Huaihuang back to Hedong and even go to Henan to sell. They came to Huaihuang, but the capital was too small and they could not participate in the auction.

Later, he bought some Huaihuang strong wine from his fellow villagers at a high price. As a result, when he returned to Hedong, the patrolling Sui army guards seized the wine and lost all their money. The two brothers had to return to Huaihuang again. As a result, when they were in a downturn, they actually came to work and once said something in front of Yi Shuai. Somehow, after hearing the Wu brothers introduced his situation, Yi Shuai actually took out 100 cents of money to four brothers, and helped them open a shop in the city to sell tofu.

The Wu brothers' tofu shop, who rebuilt their old business, are very good at running it. Especially after Yi Feng came to the store in person a few times and gave several business opinions on wealth and honor, the Wu family shop's business became more and more prosperous.

Huang Shi didn't know why Yi Shuai was so concerned about the Wu brothers, but he was too lazy to think about it carefully. Since Yi Shuai cared for the Wu brothers so much, then he would have a better relationship with the Wu brothers if he had the chance. It was always right.

What Huang Shi never knew was that Yi Feng took care of the Wu brothers in this way, but when he first met Wu brothers, he heard Wu Silang's name as Wu Shilang. After Yi Feng talked with the Wu brothers, he had already confirmed that Wu Silang was the Samurai, the father of the Empress Wu Zetian. However, at this time, Wu Silang was just a young man selling tofu. In history, Samurai started his business by selling tofu, and later started a timber business, making a lot of money. Then he met the great nobleman Li Yuan, and later joined the army as the leader of the squad, for Li

Yuan had made a lot of efforts. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the warriors also received good rewards. They were rewarded by merits and were awarded titles and officials. Later, they became high-ranking vocations such as Duke Yingguo and Governor of Lizhou. They also married the daughter of the Sui Dynasty royal family as Xuxian, which was also considered a very good businessman. However, after this official, his father had already lost his family when he was a father. When he was young, the warriors who farmed and sold tofu not only relied on his own abilities to go from a farmer to a Duke and marry a clan daughter, but later his daughter was a queen in history, and the Wu family also established the Wu Zhou regime.

Yi Feng didn't have many other ideas to support the Wu brothers. He was just amazed at the historical experiences of both the father and daughter of the Wu family. Now he suddenly saw Wu Silang who had not yet made a fortune, so he also pulled him. And Yi Feng also admitted that the warrior who was posthumously named Emperor Xiaominggao of the Great Zhou Dynasty by Wu Zetian in history was indeed very good at making tofu. He made a few suggestions for his tofu shop, and the warrior immediately improved it and made the tofu shop very vividly. Yi Feng also liked the various bean-made foods in the Wu family shop.

Sometimes he sat in the shop and watched the warrior respectfully serve soy milk, and he felt a sense of sourness in his heart.

However, in history, Warriors would not marry the daughter of the younger brother of Yang Da, the king of Sui Dynasty who was in his forties at that time, and then gave birth to Wu Zetian twenty-six years later. It was still far away, and the life trajectory of Warriors had changed. I am afraid he would not have the chance to meet the Yang family, and the queen Wu Zetian might not have the chance to come to this era. Sometimes while drinking soy milk, he would suddenly think that because of himself, the only queen in China might not appear in history.
