In Weiyang Palace, Liu Hong looked at the square in front of him that was stuffed with wooden boxes, and couldn't help but smirk.

"It's all money..."

After returning to the palace, Liu Hong sent more than 100 eunuchs to move these wooden boxes back to the palace from outside Sima Gate - no way, Liu Bang set the rule that except for the emperor's imperial chariot, other carriages and horses were not allowed to enter the palace.

It took a whole afternoon, and even shamelessly asked the lords who came to return it to send domestic slaves to help, and Liu Hong successfully moved this expensive property from outside Sima Gate into the palace.

According to Qin Mu's rough estimate, among the nearly 10,000 wooden boxes, there are at least 200,000 copper coins of all kinds and 100,000 gold cakes!

This is not counting the rest of the various materials that have not had time to be returned, as well as the nearly 10,000 copper coins and more than 15,000 gold cakes that Zhou Bo and Liu Zhang have not returned!

Within a day, Liu Hong completed the gorgeous transformation of the beggar emperor or the rich emperor!

But the next question is enough for Liu Hong to have a headache: where to put so many copper coins and gold cakes?

You can't just put it in the square and let it blow in the sun, right?

I was only thinking about getting the money back, but now that I really got it, Liu Hong found that when the copper coins reached the level of 100 million or even 1 billion, they could not be put away casually at all - 200,000, even if it was the paper money of later generations, it could fill a classroom.

And these wooden boxes containing real 'gold' brass, even if they are built, at least tens of thousands of square meters of treasury can be stored.

Just when Liu Hong was distraught by this happy trouble, a message came from the palace gate: Wei Weiqing, please see.

Liu Hong had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, returned to the Xuanshu Palace, and waited for the arrival of his armed minister, Wei Weiqing.

Wei Wei, just from the word 'Wei', it can be seen that this official position is a military position, and Wei Wei, literally, means 'general in charge of defense'.

In the army of the Western Han Dynasty, from the captain in charge of one thousand, the captain in charge of the battalion and the forbearance, to the county lieutenant in charge of military affairs in each county, all those who have the word 'captain' in their official positions are the backbone of the military system.

And Wei Wei is the person in charge of the military affairs of the entire Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong.

His duties and responsibilities are roughly equivalent to the sum of the later chiefs of police, the ministers of armed forces, and the commanders of the capital's military districts.

Although it is said that as the third duke, the Taiwei theoretically has the right to dispatch and command all the armies in the world, but the Han field army, county soldiers, and young and strong people are nearly millions, divided into thousands of individual formations, and it is naturally impossible for the Taiwei officer to do it himself and take care of complicated affairs in every detail.

In fact, only in the event of war, under the premise of the emperor's nod and permission, will the imperial officer really have the right to command the army with the blessing of the imperial power; In peacetime, the armies in various places are still controlled by their immediate superiors, that is, captains, generals, etc.

This is also a drawback of the lack of ideological construction of the army in the feudal era, and the reason why military power is very easy to fall into the hands of the generals who lead the army - in the case that the imperial lieutenants cannot directly control the army, the emperor who has never seen ordinary soldiers in his life is even more impossible to completely control the army.

In this backward era of transportation and communication, the only thing the emperor could do with the army was to deepen his presence through uninterrupted rewards and strictly supervise the high-ranking generals to avoid the discoloration of the army.

Weiwei was different: under normal circumstances, as the commander of the capital's military district, Weiwei must be a natural 'imperial party', and the emperor could not appoint a trustworthy person to take charge of his capital's military affairs.

This is also the reason why Liu Hong is so watching Wei Wei, this Jiuqing position: as long as Wei Wei is under control, the entire Guanzhong will become Liu Hong's security zone, and Liu Hong's personal safety will be fully guaranteed.

Not strictly speaking, in the case that the guard captain is his own person, Liu Hong can even go around the Guanzhong without escorts, without worrying about safety problems.

·····················

Seeing his guard for the first time, Liu Hong couldn't help but secretly praise: So handsome!

The new Wei Weiqing, Qu Cheng Hou Gu Feng, whose real name is Worm Da, is recorded as 'Gu Feng' in the historical records.

If it is said that on Liu Bang's list of founding heroes, the rest of the people are martial artists who sell pigs and slaughter dogs, and rotten Confucians who shake their heads, Qu Chenghou is definitely the most special one.

Do you think he is the founding meritor, the lord of the Marquis?

No, no, no, he's actually a swordsman...

On Liu Bang's anti-Qin journey, the Qucheng swordsman Worm Da took thirty-seven elite soldiers (kendo people) to join Liu Bang's camp.

In just a few years, this dissolute swordsman completed the gorgeous transformation from 'Ranger' (1) to the founding feat, and participated in the battle of Chu and Han as a captain.

Although in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were many talents and destroyed the stars, but they were basically generals like Fan Hao and Xiahou Ying, or generals like Zhang Liang; However, relying on his swordsmanship, Worm Da became famous in that era and successfully ranked among the 'Eighteen Heroes of the Founding of the Han Dynasty'.

As Liu Hong saw, even though the old man in front of him was nearly seventy years old, he still exuded a strong 'chivalrous spirit', with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes implying sharpness; under the gorgeous hair, a square face with Chinese characters was still full, and it seemed that there was no trace left by the years.

Crane hair and childish face!

——This is Liu Hong's first impression of Wormda.

With a light smile, he said goodbye, and as soon as Worm Da got up, before Liu Hong could speak, he saw Qin Mu on the side step forward quickly and bowed deeply to Worm Da.

"The teacher is well."

！！！

Teacher!

Qin Mu actually called Teacher Wormda?!!

You must know that in this era, it is not possible to call other people's teachers after listening to two classes - even if you shout, people will not recognize them!

Even the registered disciples, in most cases, do not have the face to shout: "Teacher, they only dare to say 'teacher' in shame"; only the disciples who teach by word and deed and teach each other can have the confidence to shout: "Teacher."

Since Qin Mu dared to call Teacher Worm Da, this showed that Qin Mu was at least one of Worm Da's personal disciples.

Even the only one!

Secretly surprised, Liu Hong thought about it carefully, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

When he went to Nanying that day, Qin Mu's swordsmanship made Liu Hong wonder: Qin Mu, as the Sima of the shooting captain, that is, the officer of the bow and crossbow troops, how could Qin Mu's swordsmanship be so superb?

Now it seems that it is easy to understand: the fast sword that Qin Mu showed that day was learned from Worm Da.

As for Worm Dagui as a liege, and he is a high-ranking liehou of 4,000 households, why bother to take disciples and teach Qin Mu swordsmanship?

I'm afraid it's not to carry forward my swordsmanship, but...

"Tiger Father and Dog Son..."

PS: The ranger group in the early Western Han Dynasty was characterized by a penchant for fighting swords; According to records, before he got ahead, he was famous and respected for his swordsmanship, and he personally felt that this sentence translated into the vernacular was: this man is very good at cutting, and everyone is afraid of him (funny life).

In my opinion, the real situation should be: Worm Da, the leader of the rangers, brought thirty-seven younger brothers into the gang, but Taishi Gong was the Venerable One, so it was recorded as 'Thirty-seven soldiers who are good at fighting'. Among the civilians, who else can there be a good soldier in the civilian population, except for the rangers who do chivalry and righteousness and slash everywhere?
