To be honest, in recent months, Wu Qian has been overwhelmed by money.

Especially after learning that the Mongolian army had captured Guizhou and entered Guangxi, he couldn't eat or sleep these days, and he obviously got much older in just a few days.

He was an official, not a businessman. He only asked the court for money without money. However, he had written seven or eight letters in succession in the past few months, but all of them were as if they were sinking into the sea without any news.

At the end of his life, he even thought that if someone could borrow 100,000 yuan from him and let him kowtow.

After all, when the enemy is in front of a great enemy, his country is destroyed and his family is destroyed, he can't even care about his life and death. He kowtows a few times without any burden. If kowtows can kill all the Mongols who invaded the Song Dynasty, he will even be willing to knock down Ezhou City.

Unfortunately, not only 100,000,000, but now 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

But just when he was disappointed and pessimistic, the ship suddenly appeared out of thin air, which suddenly made him feel like he was in a Jedi.

"Driving~Driving~~"

Wu Qian looked gentle and elegant on weekdays, but Wu Qian, who was riding on the horse at this time, was like a white-eyed eagle king, with his big cloak flying, and his silver-white hair and beard rolled and flew in the howling cold wind. A stream of redness that had never been seen appeared on his old face. He stepped on stirrups with his feet, and the horse whip in his hand kept whipping on the horse's buttocks.

"Master, slower, the mountain road is dangerous!" Several guards were left behind from a distance, and they were all nervous and frightened and shouted reminders.

But Wu Qian had completely ignored it. His mind was full of money, a ship of money.

He was eager to see what it would be like to pile up more than 800,000 ounces of money together!

Wu Qian rode wildly along the way despite his age, and saw Wu Qian coming like a crazy tiger, the people along the way and the officers and soldiers patrolling were all frightened and avoided them.

"Go away from everyone, let go, Duke Chong is here~~" A few horses behind him were quick, and seven or eight personal bodyguards chased and shouted loudly along the way.

"The Duke is here!" Wu Wenying and Wu Li Xiyun, who were talking in front of a large ship on the pier, heard the sound of horse hooves and screams and roars, turned their heads and looked around. Soon, the busy porters and migrant workers on the pier were all avoiding each other, and they saw an old man flying with his hair as big as snow and buckles, riding a strong horse in the wind.

"Hurry, help the Duke to stabilize the horse!" Li Xiyun's face turned pale in fright. He shouted a few times, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed forward. More than ten hands were used to retreat seven or eight feet away before relieving the horse's speed.

"Duke, it's too dangerous for you to ride a horse like this!" Li Xiyun grabbed the horse's reins in horror and shouted.

"Where is the military pay?" Wu Qian didn't have time to say much, so he turned over and jumped off the horse and yelled.

"Brother Luzhai!" Wu Wenying quickly stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

"It's Jueweng. I thought my servant lied to me, where is the military pay?" Wu Qian didn't even have time to reminisce about the past, so he grabbed Wu Wenying's anxious question.

"Brother Luzhai is not in a hurry, all the money is on the boat..."

"How about not being in a hurry? Look at me, I have only been here for three months, and my beard and hair are all white!" Wu Qian pointed to his head and said loudly.

Wu Wenying then noticed that Wu Qian's gray hair, which was almost as white as him, was all white in the past, and couldn't help but look a little red in his eyes: "Brother Luzhai suffered, but fortunately Zhao Dalang knew about your hardships. He spent more than a month to raise 800,000 guan of money to transport it. Let's go, I'll take you to the boat to see the money, Ermazi, get off the cable, and build a springboard..."

With Wu Wenying's shout, a few rolls of thick hemp ropes were quickly thrown off the boat. The boatman at the dock quickly tied the ropes, and soon a springboard on the boat was placed on the dock.

Wu Wenying pulled Wu Qian along the springboard and boarded the boat.

"Lu Feng, a subordinate of Duke of Wei, pays homage to Duke of Chong!"

"Zhao Polu, a subordinate of Duke of Wei, paid homage to Duke of Chong!"

"We will pay homage to Duke Chong!"

Zhao Kui's aide Lu Feng, the head of the guard Zhao Polu, the officers and soldiers who came together, Zhang Yuanzhong's brothers, Chen Ji and Yao Ran, Ermazi and other groups of security guards and all the boatmen and boatmen all saluted and welcomed each other.

Zhao Qi's order was that he had to see Wu Qian with his own eyes before he could start unloading the goods. Therefore, after the ship docked, Wu Wenying, as Wu Qian's aide and friend, got off the ship and went to the state yard to find Wu Qian. The people on the ship waited until Wu Wenying got off the ship and put away the springboard, and then waited for Wu Qian to arrive.

"Okay, no gifts, thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing that not only the fully armed officers and soldiers on the ship, but also the aides and generals of the prefect of Qingyuan Zhao Kui, Wu Qian was stunned for a moment and quickly helped Lu Feng up with his gray-bearded hands.

"Duke Chongguo, military pay is in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the ship. Should we start unloading the ship now?" Lu Feng asked quickly.

"Take me to the warehouse first and then talk about it." Wu Qian was not in the mood to understand the origin of this huge sum of money at this time, and just wanted to know where the money was.

A group of officers and soldiers, Ermazi and others were still guarding the deck with swords, guns, bows and arrows, and they were still vigilant around the deck. Wu Wenying and Lu Feng took Wu Qian down the narrow stairs to the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with goods, which were all hidden things, including salted fish, kelp, and tea salt. After several officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse worked hard to move a few boxes of salted fish in the corner, a straw mat was exposed below, and the straw mat was lifted, and there was linen inside. After the linen was lifted, the money box was below. Several officers and soldiers abandoned the power of the ox and tigers to drag out the money box with copper locks and tin seals. Opened in front of Wu Qian, there was indeed a box of banknotes, all of which were Huizi. Although the denominations were large and small, the color was new and old, they took out a stack of them casually, and the seals had the words 10,000 guan. It was exactly the same as counting them. There were at least thirty-four stacks of them. According to the ratio of Huizi and copper coins at present, this box was worth at least tens of thousands of copper coins.

This is simply life-saving money!

Wu Qian was excitedly holding a large stack of banknotes, his hands were shaking and his eyes were red, and his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak at all.

"Brother Luzhai, in order to cover up people's eyes and avoid being intercepted along the way, these cash boxes are hidden at the bottom of the goods. It's too troublesome to read them all. You should arrange for people to unload the ship and transport them to the government office to count and store them. It's not safe to put this ship here. We were careful to be unable to sleep well along the way. If Brother Pinyuan had not been holding the famous letters of Duke Wei and the official lords of the way, I would have been stopped in Jinling Mansion!" Wu Wenying reminded.

"Duke Chongguo, Jueweng said it right. The boat is too conspicuous at the dock. Once the news spreads, I am afraid that the people will come to watch, and there may be something unexpected!" Lu Feng also nodded quickly.

Under the reminder of the two, Wu Qian quickly calmed down. After putting the Suizi in his hand into the cash box, he showed a look of contempt and domineering smile on his face:

"Haha, how come I'm not sure? When I arrived in Ezhou, I was afraid that someone would not be able to rob me. Don't worry, I got off the boat and arranged it. Please arrange it on the boat first. Today, I must welcome this huge sum of money into Ezhou City with great fanfare. At the same time, I will also let the 200,000 people and soldiers and civilians in Ezhou see the strong help from Qingyuan Prefecture and Duke Wei to our Ezhou!"

Wu Qian quickly got off the boat and made arrangements. Wu Wenying and Lu Feng summoned Zhao Polu, Ermazi and others to discuss carefully for a while. The boat began to get busy, opened the cabins and prepared to start unloading the cargo.

At this time, several fast horses scattered everywhere with Wu Qian's handwriting in hand. Soon, there were sounds of cow horns in the water camp not far away. In a moment, several teams of fully armed officers and soldiers came from the camp, with flags and spears like forests. A black-faced general on horseback was led, with a helmet, armor, and a long sword on his waist, looking extraordinary.

"The commander-in-chief Zhang Sheng greets the magistrate. I will ask for instructions if you have any orders!" After the black-faced general came to the dock, he dismounted and clasped his fists.

"Zhang Dutong, quickly arrange for officers and soldiers to take charge from the wharf to Wuchang Gate and all the way to the prefecture yamen to guard the streets. The elders of Qingyuan Mansion have raised 800,000 jin of military pay for our Ezhou. I have to personally escort these military pay into the city. If there are any evil people who covet and rob them later, they will be killed without any regard for..."

"Sir, what did you say just now? Eighty...800,000 jin of soldiers...?" Zhang Sheng's head was buzzing, and he couldn't hear Wu Qian's next few words at all.

"No, 800,000 yuan, why are you still standing there? Go and arrange it quickly. If it is delayed, I will chop your dog's head!"

"Sir, I will make arrangements right away, haha, I have money and I have money..."

Zhang Sheng received a positive reply, and he was a little excited when he walked in an instant. He turned over and took out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "From the dock to the prefecture yamen, there are five meter guards. No one is allowed to enter the warning area. The city gate is three times the defense, the city wall and the city tower are twice the defense. Deputy Commander Zhou Tai is responsible for the dock, Wu Meng is responsible for the city gate, and Deputy Commander Zhao Liangsheng is responsible for the city. Arrange the post within two minutes. Those who have delays are engaged in military law and go out!"
