Five days later.

A half-new merchant ship is docked at the newly built Pier No. 1 of Xiaolongwan Harbor.

“Hurry up…”

Under Yang Dayuan's urging, Ermazi and other strong and safe-safe groups were hanging their cargo on the ship with bare shirtless.

Although the wharf is built, it is still very simple. All supporting facilities are almost blank and can only be used. However, at this time, a large number of materials tied with hemp rope and tight wooden boxes wrapped in straw mats were piled on the wharf.

Many people don’t know what these supplies are, but Yang Dayuan, Ermazi and others are very clear that other messy dried fish, kelp, sugar, wine, and tea are all just hidden. Only those wooden boxes wrapped in straw mats are the most important things, all of which are money.

This money is not only 360,000 yuan cheated from the Lu family, but also dozens of boxes of donations secretly transported from the government warehouse after counting and packing. The lightest is money and the heavy is gold and silver. If you steal a box of money, you will get rich overnight.

In addition to the security guards and porters who loaded the ship, there were also a team of thirty soldiers and a gray-bearded old man on the dock.

Next to the old man was a burly middle-aged man wearing leather armor and a wide-brimmed hat, and a big knife around his waist. He was like an iron pillar on the pier, which made people look sideways. His eyes were like a knife and murderous intent. The porters and a group of security guards couldn't help but tremble when they looked at it.

The old man is Zhao Kui's most valued aide Lu Feng.

The middle-aged man was Zhao Kui's personal guard leader, named Zhao Polu. He was an orphan saved by Zhao Kui from the battlefield. He was given the Zhao family slave. After raising him, he taught martial arts and had been following Zhao Kui for more than 30 years. This time, in order to escort this total of more than 800,000 yuan in military pay, Zhao Kui asked Zhao Polu to escort with a few personal soldiers and thirty soldiers from Qingyuan Mansion together, which was indeed a dedication to his efforts.

Zhao Qi was not relieved just by these officers and soldiers, so he arranged for Zhang Yuanzhong and Zhang Yuanyi to take Ermazi and more than a dozen security guards together, not only for safety on the road, but also for the sake of Ermazi and others to go out to see the world and go to Ezhou to see what the real military camp looks like. He had already written a letter. Ermazi and others would stay in the Ezhou military camp for a few months, and follow the study and practice for a while before coming back.

This group of security guards is Zhao Qi's military team in the future.

Even if you don’t need superb martial arts and sword skills to fight on the battlefield, at least you still have to do it that is prohibited.

He also has some military management requirements for security guards on weekdays, but in the end he is not as good as the military training.

After nearly two hours of busyness, all the money and goods on the dock were loaded on board.

Lu Feng, Zhao Polu and others also boarded the boat and settled in the cabin.

Ermazi and a group of security guards were all dressed neatly, and they followed the Zhao brothers on their shoulders with sticks, swords and guns excitedly on their shoulders, and they all smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Qi.

"Young Master, Mr. Wu is here!" Xiao Wu stood under the boat and shouted loudly.

"Please!" Zhao Qi agreed and walked down the springboard.

Soon a carriage came in through the construction site gate, kicked and slapped along the simple road to Pier No. 1. When he stopped, Wu Wenying, who was gray-haired and bearded, got out of the car.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Zhao Qi greeted him and bowed to him.

"Are you ready?" Wu Wenying ignored Zhao Qi's politeness and asked.

"You're ready. Here is a letter. Please give me a letter to Duke Chongguo!" Zhao Qi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wu Wenying.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you there, but I'm not relieved that Qing'er is alone at home. You have to go and see each other every now and then. If I come back and find that Qing'er is dark and thin, I will definitely not forgive you!" Wu Wenying hummed and stuffed the letter into her sleeve bag.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take the time to visit. It's not too late, so you can get on the boat and settle down first!" Zhao Qi asked Ermazi to help Wu Wenying take down his greetings and send them on the boat. He specifically told Ermazi to take care of him on the way.

"Hehe, Brother Qi, don't worry, we will take good care of Mr. Wu, but Miss Qing'er, you must take good care of him, and you must wait until we come back for a wedding banquet!" Ermazi smiled dryly.

"If you dare to bully Qing'er, you will be dead!" Wu Wenying blew her beard and stared at her eyes as soon as she heard this.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Wu, we're talking about it, let's go, I'll take you to the cabin!" Ermazi hugged and took Wu Wenying away.

Zhao Qi was so amused that he could not get off the boat, and the gangway and springboard were quickly closed.

"Super Sail~~"

As the sound of an old boatman at the bow of the ship sounded, a brand new sail slowly rose along the main mast, and then the four big words "Debang Freight" were slowly revealed.

"Unlock the cables, raise the anchor~~" Just as the sails rose, the old boatman shouted again, and several helpers on the dock quickly untie the cables as thick as their arms. As the anchor came out of the water, the sea boat shaking away from the dock under the turbulent sea breeze.

"Side sail~"

"Zhengfan southeast..."

"Sing the roar, set sail..."

With the instructions on the ship, the thirty-meter-long ship quickly adjusted its bow and posture, and several sails were flying across the two islands. The people on the ship also stood on the deck and waved goodbye. After more than ten minutes, in the blue harbor, only a trace could be seen rippling, and the ship had sailed out of Xiaolong Bay.

Standing at the dock and looking at the big ship that disappeared away, Zhao Qi was excited and felt a sense of helplessness and sourness.

Damn it is such a thing as donating money to save the country, but you still have to do it secretly.

The mess of Dasong is probably really not good.

This is not only his feeling as a bystander who has traveled through time, but it seems that even Zhao Kui and Wu Qian all have a sense of helplessness and helplessness. They have the will but lack strength. They don’t know how to change the situation of the Song Dynasty. Until they met Zhao Qi, they then had a little more courage and hope, and were willing to use the last light and heat to help Zhao Qi, hoping to make the Song Dynasty struggle. As for the change, I am afraid everyone will feel confused. Today’s Song Dynasty is actually like a pool of mud. Anyone can only struggle helplessly. The emperor is even more decadent and favors the treacherous ministers. The situation of the Song Dynasty is like an old man who is about to quit, and he is already unable to turn things around.

"Let's go, go home!" After sending the donation, Zhao Qi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I have been busy for a while and achieved remarkable results, but I have a lot of worries. This past month is definitely the most tiring time I have been through time.

But being tired is also meaningful, and in Zhao Qi's opinion, it is very worth it.

Especially through the charity sale, he not only met several good business partners such as Fan Hailong, Cao Feng, Su Houyou, etc., but also met almost all the well-known figures in the Qingyuan Mansion. At the same time, he also had a relationship with the new prefect Zhao Kui. This made him have a strong backer after Wu Qian left, and made Gao Zhinian more afraid, at least he did not dare to come openly to stumbling to him.

When Zhao Qi was surprised, he felt a little incredible when he thought of the fact that several scammers used a red-colored cat to cheat Gao Yanei for 20,000 yuan.

I don’t know what kind of unusual head this Gao Yanei has, but he is willing to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a cat.

"Xiao Wu, if you have a lot of money, what do you want to do the most?" Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Zhao Qi asked Xiao Wu who was driving.

Xiao Wu seemed to not know how to answer this question, and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't know what to do either. I should sell a lot of land and houses, and then adopt all the orphans on the street..."

"Then do you know how to keep cats?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Harve a cat? What a fuck I'd better raise another younger brother and sister!" Xiao Wu looked back at Zhao Qi incomprehensible.

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Everyone has different life experiences, and their desires and ideas for future life are also completely different.

For Xiao Wu, who has been an orphan since childhood, those beggars who are as ill as her are the ones she wants to help the most.

"Have you adopted a few children at the dock recently?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Well, six or seven, the older one is nine years old, and the younger one is five years old..." Xiao Wu nodded vaguely.

Zhao Qi sighed, "It's not possible to continue like this. He has adopted more than twenty of his family. Although they are very obedient and work hard, they are indeed too young. In addition to Xiaowu and Xiaojiu, who are over 10 years old, they can use it. The rest are almost all kinds of food and drink for free, and there are many people, so it is very troublesome to manage. Although they can take care of each other, Zhao Qi has to worry about eating, drinking, and urinating. The money spent every month is like flowing water."

Moreover, with this Mongolian invasion, there may be more people who will flee in the future, and the prosperous and wealthy Qingyuan Prefecture will have more orphans.

"Xiao Wu, I'll arrange something to do. If it's done well, you can help more orphans. Would you like it?" Zhao Qi said after thinking it over and over again.

"What's the matter?" Xiaowu turned his head excitedly.

"Do you still remember the last barbecue? I plan to open a barbecue restaurant in Yanggong Town. You take your older brother and sister to the barbecue restaurant to help. This way, you can help more orphans after making money. Otherwise, it will never be the same if you continue like this. I will not help you raise all the children without parents. You must have a self-reliance method to make money!"

"It's good to do this, but I'm afraid I can't do it?" Xiao Wu stopped the carriage nervously and looked back at Zhao Qi.

"This is not difficult. I will help you prepare all the venues and equipment. I will teach you how to barbecue. You don't have to worry about safety. I will ask Ermao Donggua and others to help take care of them on weekdays. All you have to do is to make the barbecue restaurant and use the money you earn to help those orphans. The older ones can go to the barbecue restaurant as a helper. After the Xiaolongwan Harbor is built, I can also recruit some child laborers to help run errands. The younger ones are going to open an orphanage. This orphanage not only cares about food and drink, but also teaches them to read and read. When they grow up, they can learn some other life skills. In this way, they will have the same ability to make a living in the future. Maybe they can help me do something in the future..."

Zhao Qi said this and looked at Xiao Wu seriously.

"This time you raised the fundraiser, you followed me around for a few months, and you were very serious and responsible in your work. I think you can do more meaningful things on your own, instead of helping me drive the car every day!"

"Thank you, my master. I will definitely manage the barbecue restaurant well and let these younger brothers and sisters repay the young master in the future!" Xiaowu cried with joy.

"Don't cry, I think you are much stronger than me. I want to do some things but don't bother to do. Since you are willing, then you do it according to your own ideas. Tell me directly what you lack. I just hope that there will not be so many orphans on the dock. Winter will be coming soon. I don't want to see any parents or mothers frozen to death and starve on the roadside. Let's say that first. After I go back, I will arrange for people to find a place to open a barbecue restaurant and an orphanage. This is mainly your responsibility. Xiaojiu and Chunxiang and others will stay at home to help. You need personnel to go to the dock to find it recently..."

"Don't worry, Master, I'll go find someone tomorrow. BBQ is very simple, and I can help you when I'm seven or eight years old!"

"Then let's say that first, let's go back first!"
