Pingshu is the big city county of the later generations. This place is at the junction of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi, and the five kingdoms used to belong to Qi before attacking Qi, named Xuzhou, and changed to Pingshu after the occupation of Yan. In the nineteenth year of Zhao Xiaocheng's reign, Zhao Yan changed places: Zhao Yilongdui, Fenmen, Linle and Yan; Yan Yige, Wuyang, Pingshu and Zhao, Pingshu became the city of Zhao.

In September, Pingshu had blown north from time to time, and the gluttonous horn that went north from Zhufang Port took advantage of the last faint southerly wind to arrive at the unnamed harbor east of Pingshu. The sea boat was huge, and when the gluttony had just appeared in the port, the Zhao people inside and outside the harbor were panicked, and some of the servants who built the city ran around like headless flies; The drummers beat the drums again as a warning, making the scene even more chaotic. The Zhao general, who was stationed here, killed a frightened and crazy servant, and the chaos was stopped.

The Gluttony is tall, and because it is a weak wind, it has winged sails, so it looks even taller. The murderous Zhao gasped when he saw the gluttony getting closer and closer. If he hadn't known in advance that this was the Chu State Sea Boat, he would probably have run away in fright.

The arrival of the Tao Tao was mainly carried on board more than 17 million Seleucid silver coins obtained from trade, which weighed more than 76 tons, and was worth more than 77,000 gold in Chinese currency. Because of the war, the price of millet in Zhao was 80 yuan on the surface, but in fact, 80 yuan could not even buy wild taro, and the price of millet in private had already exceeded 300 yuan.

Transporting silver coins into Zhao could not improve the situation of grain scarcity in Zhao State, but it could stabilize the price of money. If the price of money is stabilized, it will not be 300 yuan of corn one day, 350 yuan of corn the next day, and 400 yuan of corn the next day. Copper is a cheap metal, in the Chu State thirty coins can buy a pound of blister copper, and silver, because there are no large silver mines in China, it is regarded as a precious metal along with gold.

Copper coins, especially those with a high value of copper coins engraved with how much money should be paid, merchants and ordinary people will not hold them. Silver is different, and silver can be cellared just like gold. Once there is less money in the cellar market, prices will stabilize. If prices are stable, there is no room for speculation, and businessmen will not frantically throw copper coins to buy goods, and no matter how high the price is, the economy can barely run.

Before the Tao Tao arrived at the Panyu Port, the Siguo Gold Bank, which was established in Linzi, urgently demanded that the silver coins on the Tao Tao be transported to Zhao State immediately. After the Tao Tao broke down and threw the cable at Pingshu Harbor, Yu Wan, the light and heavy family in charge of the Zhao Guo Branch, hurriedly boarded the deck, along with him, Mu Ling, a student of the Crane Guanzi, and several bookkeepers sent by Yingdu. These bookkeepers have learned the double-entry accounting method, and it would be unimaginable for a large financial institution like Shikoku Financial Bank to manage without the double-entry accounting method.

"The fate of the widow is here." Wugou Chang stayed in Zhu Fang for only one day before going north. After ten months of fatigue, he just wanted to quickly unload those silver coins and go back to Chu to rest as soon as possible. According to the speed of the gluttonous ship, he would probably be able to set off from Zhufang Harbor after the sacrifice and then go to Seleucus.

"On the orders of the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank, I received the silver coins of the Chu State." Yu Wan originally thought that after the Qi State changed the law, there would be no use for the light and heavy families, but he didn't expect that the four countries would negotiate a four-country gold bank, and he would have to reuse it. He solemnly bowed to Wugou and showed the seal.

"Please." After reading the letter, Wu Gou had no objections, and personally took Yu Wan and the others off the belly of the ship. With the help of the candle, the first mate opened the cabin where the silver coins were stored, and Yu Wan and the others saw that the silver coins were dumped naked in the huge cabin, with a thick layer.

"How much is this silver coin?" Yu Wan has seen silver cakes, but rarely seen silver coins. That's an amazing amount of silver.

"Ten tons." The first mate looked at the record. Seeing that Yu Wan didn't know the ton, he said again: "Thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and forty pounds." ”

"There are still seven remaining cabins." No hook added. "I thought four wings weren't enough to transport."

"So many!" The 280,000 Chu Jin silver coins startled Yu Wan, and no one in Linzi knew how many silver coins were on the gluttonous number at that time. He originally wanted to have at least 50,000 Chu Jin silver coins, preferably 100,000 Chu Jin, but he didn't expect it to be 280,000 Chu Jin. "Zhao Guo doesn't need so many silver coins, 150,000 catties are enough."

"Then I will take 150,000 catties." There is no objection to the length of the hook, and the remaining silver coins will be transported back to the Yingdu Three Coins Mansion.

The letter was printed correctly, and the silver coins were quickly out of the cabin. The Lifu brought by Yu Wan and Mu Ling began to help transport silver coins, these people rarely transported such valuable goods, the first barrel was too full, and the rope broke before it was hung on the upper deck, and the dark white silver coins were suddenly scattered all over the bilge. The first mate had to find two crew members to help them and teach them how to lift it.

"Is this silver pure?" Yu Wan was a minister in the Qian Mansion of Qi, and he had never seen Seleucid and Greek silver coins.

"Okay." When the fleet goes to sea, of course, there are people who are proficient in gold and silver. "Indian silver coins are not pure."

"Oh." The silver coins were full of Greek letters, and Yu Wan didn't even recognize them as Indian silver coins.

"Seleucid silver coins and Greek silver coins were melted down as soon as they entered India, and they were reminted with lead and tin, which was no longer pure." When it comes to overseas experiences, the purest is still Greek silver coins, which contain more than 4.3 grams of silver, and many can reach 4.37 grams.

"Oh." Yu Wan nodded, he couldn't determine how much silver the silver coin contained at this time, so he could only wait for the money man's report.

Barrels of silver coins were hoisted out of the bilge, and the sailors on deck were surprised by this. By the time they loaded the ship, they had already seen what it meant to be like the sea. Lu Gao, Lu Qian and the others who boarded the deck after Yu Wan were stunned when they looked at the silver coins sprinkled on the deck, they had never seen so many silver cakes.

Barrels of silver were hoisted to the deck of the Great Wing Warship below, and under the supervision of the sword-wielding warriors, the officials neatly stacked them in the prepared wooden boxes, and the documents were recorded and sealed with the Shikoku Gold Bank.

"The sea boat is profitable." Silver coins are not the style of Huaxia, that is, the income of foreign trade. Counting hundreds of barrels on the deck, when one big wing under the board was full and replaced with another big wingsuit, Lu Gao sighed.

"What about Feng?" Lu Chan's surprise was only for a moment, and he couldn't lift his spirits about anything now.

"If you make a profit, you will have gold, silver, grain, and straw, and you will have chariots, horses, and arrows." Lu Gao Dao. "Zhao Guo gets this gold and silver, and his battle will be won."

The gold and silver of overseas trade were directly imported into Zhao State, and the meaning behind it was not understood by Lu Xuan, but Lu Gao could understand it. In addition, Li Mu already knew that Chu Guo Zhi Bisi was exploring Henan (Ordos Grassland), and it seemed that Chu and Zhao would soon make a big move.

Lu Gao's guess was of course correct, what he didn't know was that Handan didn't know anything about the specific plan to attack Qin, only Ge De guessed some skins, and only Li Mu knew the specific content. Of course, Li Mu couldn't plan how to attack Qin by himself, his battle plan completely depended on the entire shogunate, but before attacking Qin, he had to defeat the Qin army in front of him first.

After the Li Mu shogunate where all the generals gathered, Lian Po took over the defense line of the Southern Great Wall, Sima Shang returned to the army. Looking at the generals in front of him, under Li Mu's signal, Sima Shang said: "The Qin people are half out of Yi'an to attack Fengsi, so the king has an order: go out of the city tomorrow to attack Yi'an......"

A few months ago, no matter how the Qin people insulted and begged for war, even Li Mu did not go to war when he sent a set of women's clothes like the king of Chu. and ordered: Those who dare to speak out in the army will be beheaded. This is a real beheading, the moment the heads of the three captains are hung, no half of the whole army dares to speak out to fight. Now that the great general is going to fight, the dumbfounded generals all think that they have heard it wrong.

"......" When the generals were dumbfounded, Sima Shang was already introducing the enemy situation and arranging combat missions, and when he heard these Anxi, the generals came to their senses and knew that they were really going out of the camp to fight to the death with the Qin army, and the tent was suddenly full of agitation.

"Stop!" The shogunate suddenly became noisy, and the army immediately shouted.

After the shogunate was completely calm down and stopped Sima Shang, Li Mu spoke. "At that time, the Qin people pulled out Yi'an, and their morale was high, so they couldn't fight. Now the north wind has risen, the heaven and the earth will be cold, attack the Qin camp, burn their baggage military tents, although the Qin people go south to attack my Fengsi, they will also return to the army to rescue. The Qin army in the big camp thought that our army was too timid to fight, and the generals were self-defeating, and their preparations had already been relaxed.

The Qin people are not guilty of killing me, killing my brothers, killing my women and children, and now they are attacking Fengsi and other towns in the south. If it is pulled, Handan will be surrounded by the north and south, and the Zhao State will die. Therefore, this battle is a battle to save my Zhao State and protect our society, and it is a battle to defeat Wudao and destroy the tyrannical Qin. The king of Handan, Xiangbang, and all the doctors are all looking at us, and the world's Chuqi, Wei, and Han are all paying attention to us......"

Li Mu is as elegant as Confucianism on the outside, but there is a fire burning deep inside. The attack was imminent, the flames in his chest were blazing, and the words he spat out were like red-hot iron, and the hot generals' blood was boiling.

"The last general respectfully obeys the order!!" After he finished speaking, everyone shouted wildly, and a few county lieutenants even tore their teeth, trying to bite the Qin people to pieces.

The battle order was soon issued, and the cattle, sheep and wine sent from the rear were distributed among the battalions, in order to feed the soldiers before going to battle. At this time, although the battalions were mostly laughing, no amount of laughter could dissipate the tension before the war.

In the empty shogunate, Li Mu drank tea with Sima Shang and others. He didn't want to talk about the war anymore, he just wanted to relax his mind and loosen the strings that had been stretched for too long.

"It is said that the sea boat of Chu State is bigger than the main bed?" The news of the arrival of the sea boat of the Chu State in Pingshu had just arrived, and the Zhao people had never seen such a large sea boat, so it spread everywhere.

"Yes, yes." Among the many military officials, only Ma Wei had seen the sea boat with his own eyes, and he put down the teacup and gestured with his hand. "It's tall and big, and a boat can carry 30,000 stones."

Ma Wei Benshi Zhao, changed to Ma Shi is the reason. When he was a teenager, he obeyed orders under Li Mu's tent and was regarded as a personal guard. Because of the closeness, the childishness in the words was revealed, and Li Mu laughed when he compared.

"It is said that the sea boat of Chu State has passed to the west of Zhongzhou, and I don't know if I can find Xizhou Longma." After giving the order, the generals were busy, and Sima Shang had nothing to do, so he could only accompany Li Mu to drink tea. "If our army has Xizhou Ryoma......"

"Why does the King of Chu know that there are dragon horses in Xizhou?" Li Mu asked questions that people all over the world often ask.

"Everyone in Chu says that the king of Chu is born to know." Sima Shang smiled and replied with the answer that Chu people often answered.
