Old Master Wang explained the purpose of the army.

Ding Tieniu's expression changed, and somehow he remembered his daughter's words just now——

Don’t look at whether he is still a master now, but His Majesty the Emperor is inspecting the fields. It’s hard to say whether he will be a master or not when the time comes...

Seeing the shocked look on the oil shop shopkeeper's face, Old Master Wang's lips curved into a smile.

"Our army came from Pengjia Town, but because the road was too close, we only brought dry food and water.

The weather today is so bad that the jug of water the soldiers brought may not be enough for drinking.

I'm afraid that the weather will be too hot and the soldiers will have sunstroke if they don't have water to drink.

So, shopkeeper, can you help us prepare cold water for 100 people?

At noon, I brought someone over to pick it up. "

Just as Ding Tieniu was about to think of a reason to refuse, Old Master Wang had already smiled and said:

"Of course, we won't enter your home, you just put the boiled water outside the courtyard.

If you are willing to help, I will write you a note. Afterwards, you just go to Dengzhou City and hand the note to the Yamen.

The military will verify the matter within half a month, and then send you two taels of firewood. "

Tiedan's eyes lit up and he whispered:

"Master, the army asked us to boil water, but they actually gave us money?"

Although his voice was very low, how could Old Master Wang, who was in the courtyard, not hear him.

The corners of his mouth hooked up.

Your Majesty's move is really wonderful!

This time the whole army was everywhere, and naturally a lot of military tickets were exchanged.

When the people get the money and pass it on to hundreds of people, and His Majesty gives orders, the people will naturally believe in the emperor unconditionally!

Ding Tieniu frowned.

To be honest, he didn't want to help.

There are two female dependents at home. The military master’s words were very nice at this moment. What if the soldiers who came to fetch water later went crazy?

Mrs. Ding on the other side was constantly signaling her husband's rejection with her eyes.

At this moment, a girl's voice was heard:

"Don't worry, General. Please send someone to get hot water during lunch."

But it turned out that it was Miss Ding who had just been hiding in the woodshed. She heard the words in the front yard and came over.

Ding Tieniu's expression changed drastically.

Mrs. Ding looked at her daughter with cold eyes.

If the military master hadn't been here, he would have yelled loudly.

This daughter is really pampered to no end by her!

Mrs. Ding naturally knows how beautiful her daughter is.

Not to mention the small market town of Berlin, even people from all over the country would not praise their daughter for her beauty.

This kid has never suffered a loss, so he doesn’t know how dangerous the world is!

Facing her father and mother who were winking wildly and telling her to hide, Miss Ding bowed to Mr. Wang gracefully:

"Master Jun, the little girl is studying in the family's girls' school in the city. The little girl already knows His Majesty the Emperor's benevolent name.

The imperial army has strict military discipline and never harms a single person. Although the little girl is a prostitute, she still admires him very much.

Since the military master needs hot water, although my Ding family is not rich, they dare not ask for the firewood fee.

The military master, just don't worry, he will send someone to get it later. The little girl will go and boil water for the army! "

After saying that, Miss Ding gave a woman's blessing ceremony and took her mother to the backyard.

When his daughter said this, Ding Tieniu didn't dare to refuse even if he wanted to.

Old Master Wang smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he lay on the saddle, reached out and took out a brush from his bag, stuck out his tongue and soaked it with spit, wet the dry brush, and wrote in the blank space. The words "Berlin Market, Dingji Oil Shop, Two Liang of Silver" were added.

"Here, if you take this, it will be valid for you to go to the county government office within one month."

Old Master Wang put the note on the ground, picked up a piece of rubbish, pressed it on it, then got on his horse and chased the army that had gone away.

"This……"

This incredible scene stunned the three people in the room.

Erwa took courage and stepped forward to pick up the paper. He looked sideways and vertically, but he recognized the black bumps on it, each one as big as a fly's head, but he didn't recognize him.

"Master, what is written here?"

Erwa had no choice but to hand the note to Ding Tieniu.

The danger had disappeared. Tiedan, who had just emerged from the fright, regained his liveliness as a young man. Hearing this, he mocked:

"Er baby, didn't you read it again and again? Why don't you know what's written on it?"

"nonsense!"

Erwa gave his senior brother a look:

"If I knew each other, could I still make you my senior brother? You have the ability, just think about it!"

Tieniu stared:

"Shit, I know shit about him, and I don't even know him!"

Erwa put his hands behind his back, like a rooster in a victorious battle.

"M's shit, as a senior brother, you don't even know me, but I know his mother!"

……

The two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. You cursed one curse word after another, and the curse words kept coming for a while.

Ding Tieniu smiled and slapped each other:

"You two are living treasures. If you can't read, you can't read. Work hard and learn skills. It will be great if your sons can be literate in the future!"

Ding Tieniu smiled and cursed, then looked at the note.

This note was printed very beautifully, surrounded by stripes of a rectangular frame, with the Ministry of War's large seal in the middle.

I saw that it said:

"In the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the seventh team of the Bing Battalion of the Madai Department of the Ministry of War, military pay and food auxiliary tickets."

This is print.

Below is a line of small characters with wet ink:

"Berlin Market, Ding Kee Oil Shop, two taels of silver."

At the bottom is a stamp with a small seal.

The military master didn't act to stamp it just now. He must have stamped it in advance.

Ding Tieniu turned it over and saw lines of small words on the back:

"The Ming Dynasty's military auxiliary notes are only used as payment notes for purchases from civilians when military supplies are insufficient, and are not used for currency circulation.

After receiving the bill, you should go to the local county government office within one month to hand over the bill and ask for a receipt.

The denomination of the bill is equivalent to silver money. After verification by the local military, the bill will be settled at your doorstep within half a month.

For military settlements, if you have any objections, you should hold the receipt and complain to a higher level within six months. If it is overdue, it will be deemed invalid. "

……

This……

Ding Tieniu was stunned.

Why does this look so much like treasure money?

He said to his two disciples:

"You continue to extract oil, and I will go to the backyard."

Ding Tieniu ordered his two apprentices and hurried towards the kitchen.

"Daughter, look at this!"

Ding Tieniu pulled up his daughter who was lighting the fire, handed her the bill, and then sat down in front of the stove.

"What happened?"
