After the officers and soldiers received the rewards, they left the playground one after another. Zhao Hai looked at the sky and turned to the soldiers and said, "Go back to the house." Then he turned over and rode a green horse and drove to the government office.

Half an hour later, the directors of various departments of civil affairs, first deputy directors, factory directors, first deputy directors, and the seven books offices of the Book Office gathered in the lobby of Weihai Weicheng. Zhao Hai faced everyone and said loudly: "Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is about to be celebrated. All departments of civil affairs will start holiday tomorrow."

"The holiday is eleven days, the ninth day of the lunar month ends, and the lunar month begins to register at the lunar month. Each department must arrange the duty staff. All civil affairs personnel's homes have reduced the rent of land per mu by one liter."

"The director of the Tun Affairs Bureau, the director of the Huatuo Medical Center, the director of the Public Security Bureau, the director of the Weihai Tobacco Factory, and the ambassador of the Cang, starting next year, the monthly food and salary will be: one stone, four dou of grain, and two cents of silver."

"Deputy Director of the Tun Affairs Bureau, Deputy Director of the Huatuo Medical Center, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Deputy Director of the Weihai Tobacco Factory, Deputy Envoy of Cang, Starting next year, the monthly salary will be: one stone of grain and three dou of silver."

Zhao Hai pressed the topic and began to gently sip the green tea brewed with tea powder. The civil affairs officials at the bottom began to sip the green tea brewed with tea powdered with tea powdered with joy.

He Yong, the trial director of the Gate Affairs Bureau, drank the fragrant tea with a bad taste, and thought happily: "Starting next year, the monthly salary will increase by one bull, and two more silver will increase, and the land rent will also decrease by one liter. The 18-year-old eldest son joined the army and has now been raised as a small flag."

"The sixteen-year-old second son and fourteen-year-old third son are all arranged for themselves as clerks, and now they are receiving monthly salary of nine dou of food every month; their wife is arranged for themselves as a cook, five dou of food every month; their twelve-year-old eldest daughter and nine-year-old second daughter are arranged for themselves to help the cook, and two dou of food every month."

"Now the whole family has entered the Canteen in the Bureau, which can eat three meals a day. The rent of the family's land has been reduced to five or six liters. After 20 acres of land, they can harvest about three or four pounds of wheat and six or eight pounds of beans every year."

"The whole family has a lot of food every month: four stones per dou and two cents of silver; the family just built five large green brick houses in August, and bought two strong cows in September. I didn't expect that I had just been the director of the village affairs bureau for a year and a month, and the whole family had gone from starving to death at any time, and became the current wealthy man in Weihai."

Director He and the officials were getting happier the more they thought about it. Zhao Hai coughed lightly, and everyone hurriedly calmed down. Zhao Hai continued: "The twelve years of Chongzhen are about to pass, and the situation in the world is getting worse. After Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai joined forces to enter Sichuan, they won consecutive battles and no one can stand the enemy."

"Li Zicheng suddenly appeared in Xichuan, the border between Henan and Huguang, and in Neixiang, and then he was unstoppable. He has now broken through the Lushan, Jia County, Yiyang [now Ruyang], Yiyang, Yongning [now Luoning] and other counties of Henan Provincial Administration Office. The entire western Henan region has been upside down and has now entered Luoyang."
