On June 13th, the weather in Beijing was very hot. The capital was bustling in the early morning, and various business shouts came one after another. Several carriages slowly drove out from You'anmen. Several grooms rushed their vehicles listlessly. A thin old man sat in a carriage in the middle. The old man lifted the curtain and turned his head to look at the capital that was moving away. However, after a few breaths, he lowered the curtain and closed his eyes with a lonely face~~~~

The old man who served as a cabinet minister for the longest time during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty quietly stepped down from the position of prime minister, sadly left the center of the Ming Dynasty's political rights, and headed towards Wucheng~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Li Tiedan scored the best archery score today, and she was rewarded with a steamed cake!" Zhao Hai said loudly.

Li Tiedan looked at the other nine comrades proudly, walked forward with big strides, and respectfully took the bamboo basket containing five steamed cakes from Zhao Hai.

"Thank you Lord Baihu to reward you!" Li Tiedan kowtowed and thanked you.

"Return to the team", Zhao Hai said gently.

Zhang Gouzi looked at Li Tiedan with dissatisfaction, and secretly made up his mind~~~~

Zhao Hai looked at a bamboo armor in front of him tiredly:

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-July. The spring wheat was ripe. The golden wheat ears bent the thriving wheat straw. The military households had smiles on their faces~~~~

"Open the sickle", with Zhao Hai's loud shout, dozens of sickles were cut towards the wheat straw at the same time, and the fire was flowing in July, and soon everyone was sweating profusely~~~~~

After a long period of exercise and good nutrition, Zhao Hai's weight is increasing and his strength is also growing slowly. Zhao Hai put a wooden arrow with a hit 10 and sharp sharpness on the longbow of two stones. After posing, he slowly exerted force. With a "whoosh", the wooden arrow left the string and shot a big tree in front of him with a "bang". The arrow was broken in an instant~~~~

Zhao Hai came to the big tree, and a broken wooden arrow was inserted on the trunk. The long arrow on the ground had been picked up by Xiao Huang. He took out the wooden arrow from the little yellow mouth and measured it one by one and found that the wooden arrow was an inch shorter~~~~

Zhao Hai walked home with the three puppies. Xiao Huang, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai happily played beside Zhao Hai, chasing him~~~~~~

On August 13, the military households finally finished the busy farming. The wheat has been dried, the fields have been plowed, and the beans or vegetables have been cultivated. Nine military households have begun to pay grain to hundreds of households. Unlike the bleakness of previous years, this year, the military households have had a little smile on their faces~~~~

In Zhao Hai's courtyard, Zhang Gouzi is keeping accounts, Li Tiedan is weighing, and nine military households take their wives and children to pay the food in the courtyard~~~~

"Dear donors, every place in the world, every summer and autumn harvest, grain merchants not only try hard to lower the price of grain, but also use scales to weigh them, and pay with insufficient silver during settlement. After all, the food of ordinary people is generally reduced by 50%!"

"My Zhao family is a hereditary hundred households. Since the time of Chengzu, they have been kind to the fortress. The rent in the surrounding fortress has always been the lowest, and they have always protected you. The court's heavy taxes have always been blocking you, otherwise you will probably have become refugees."

"Everyone usually uses money. Every year, they go to the Acropolis or county town to sell grain, and they are exploited for several layers. From this year on, this official will purchase grain or beans at a price of one cent higher than the market price. It is said that it is a good scale and silver will be enough, but each household only charges at most two stones." Zhao Hai said loudly.
