"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Sergeant Lu Xirong did mention, just the small silver coins we have in our pockets could be wiped clean in less than a day, and we'd end up in debt."
"When did I say I was going to those kinds of places?"
"Alright, alright, call it my slander. Hey, have you heard?" The soldier leaning on the rail lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "The merit list is out. Bunir Captain's acreage is still the first this time, seems like the merit is called... Right, 'leading'? It means being the first to charge forward recklessly."
"Why else do you think he's impressive?" The other soldier shrugged matter-of-factly, "He leads in headcount-based merit, now there's no more counting, and he's still first."
"How many acres does he have?"
"A thousand?"
"A thousand? He's long past a thousand, I estimate, he has two thousand now."
"Gosh, two thousand acres. If I had two thousand acres, I wouldn't carry firearms, I'd go home and be a manor lord."
