Great Qi highly valued military achievements. Meng Fang, originally a villager, had astonishingly risen to the rank of Side General in a very short time. It was more than just a triple promotion in one day—it was like ascending to the heavens in a single step!
For General Meng's household, the addition of furniture, the remodeling of the courtyard, the expansion of the residence, and the establishment of a prestigious gate were all proper and expected ceremonials.
The government office also specially sent two maidservants to attend to Yu Rou, who was the newly promoted wife of General Meng.
Upon seeing the family's financial difficulties, the government office, without a word, allocated 10,000 taels of silver to their home.
"Those who have achieved great feats should be treated with great respect."
A few days later, the commendation from the capital Xianyang arrived at the county government, resulting in another grand assembly.
