Pingshu is the Dacheng County of later generations. This place is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi. Before the five kingdoms attacked Qi, they belonged to Qi, and were named Xuzhou. After the Yan State occupied it, it was changed to Pingshu. In the 19th year of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Zhao Yan changed its place: Zhao used Longdui, Fenmen, Linle and Yan; Yan used Ge, Wuyang, Pingshu and Zhao, and Pingshu became the city of Zhao.

Pingshu in September has started to blew up the north from time to time. The Taotie, heading north from Zhufang Port, arrived at the unnamed harbor east of Pingshu in the last faint south wind. The sea boat was huge. When the Taotie had just appeared in the port, the Zhao people inside and outside the harbor were panicked, and some soldiers who built cities ran around like headless flies; the drummer beat the drum again to show warning, which made the scene even more chaotic. General Zhao, who was stationed here, killed a crazy servant, and the chaos was stopped.

The Taotie was tall, and because it was a weak wind, it hung its wing sail, so it looked even taller. The murderer Zhao took a breath of air when he saw the Taotie being getting closer and closer. If he hadn't known in advance that it was a sea boat in Chu, he would probably have run away in fear.

When the Taotie arrived at the port, it was mainly because the ship was loaded with more than 17 million Seleucid silver coins obtained from trade. These silver coins weighed more than 76 tons, and with the value of China's currency, it was worth more than 77,000 gold. Because of the war, the price of millet in Zhao's country was eighty coins in plain noodles, but in fact, it could not even buy wild taro. The price of millet in private had long exceeded three hundred coins.

Transporting silver coins into Zhao State cannot improve the situation of scarcity of food and fodder in Zhao State, but it can stabilize the price. If the price is stable, it will not be 300 coins of corn the day before, 350 coins of corn the next day, and 400 coins in another day. Copper is a cheap metal. In Chu State, you can buy a pound of coarse copper, while silver, because there is no large silver mine in China, is regarded as a precious metal together with gold.

Copper coins, especially those with great value-added coins engraved on them, will not be held by merchants and common people. Different silver, silver can be stored like gold. Once the cash in the market decreases, prices will be stable. If prices are stable, there is no room for speculation, and merchants will not crazily sell copper coins to buy goods. No matter how high the price is, the economy can barely operate.

Before the Taotie arrived at Panyu Port, the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank, established in Linzi, urgently asked the silver coins on the Taotie to be transported into Zhao State immediately. After the Taotie landed on the anchor and threw cables in Pingshu Port, Yu Wan, the Qingzhong Family in charge of the Zhao State Branch, hurriedly boarded the deck. With him, Mu Ling, a student of Feng Guanzi, and several bookmakers sent by Yingdu. These bookmakers have learned the double bookkeeping method. If a large financial institution like the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank does not have the double bookkeeping method, the management will be unimaginable.

"The silver coins are here for the fate of the widow." Wu Gouchang stayed in Zhu Fang for only one day before heading north. After ten months of hard work, he just wanted to unload the silver coins quickly and return to Chu to rest early. According to the Taotie-level ship speed, he could probably set off from Zhu Fang Port after the La Festival and then go to Seleugu.

"After the order of the four countries' gold medals, I received the silver coins of Chu." Yu Wan thought that after the Qi reform, the family of Qingzhong was no longer useful, but unexpectedly, the four countries negotiated a gold medal, and he had to use it again. He solemnly bowed to Wu Gou and presented a seal.

"Please." Wu Gou Chang had read the seal without any objection, so he personally took Yu Wan and others off the abdomen. With the candlelight, the first mate opened the cabin for storing silver coins. Yu Wan and others saw the silver coins stolen naked in the huge cabin, laying a thick layer.

"How many silver coins are there?" Yu Wan has seen silver cakes, but few silver coins. So many silver coins are amazing.

"Ten tons." The first mate looked at the record. Seeing that Yu Wan didn't know the tons, he said again: "Thirty-nine,840 Chu Jin."

"There are still seven other cabins," added Wu Gou Chang. "I thought the four large wings were not enough to transport."

"It's so much!" The 280,000 Chujin silver coins scared Yu Wan. At that time, no one knew how many silver coins were on the Taotie number. He originally wanted to have at least 50,000 Chujin silver coins, preferably 100,000 Chujin, but he didn't expect it to be 280,000 Chujin. "Doesn't need so many silver coins in Zhao State, 150,000 jin is enough."

"I will take 150,000 jin." Wu Gou Chang had no objection, and he would transport the remaining silver coins back to the palace of the Three Qianshes in Yingdu.

The letter was correct, and the silver coins were soon out of the cabin. Yu Wan and Mu Ling brought Lifu to help transport silver coins. These people rarely transport such valuable goods. The first barrel was too full and the rope was broken before it was hung on the upper deck. The dark silver coins were immediately spread all over the cabin. The first mate had to find two crew members to get the handles and teach them how to transport them.

"Is this silver pure?" Yu Wan once served as a minister in the Qian Mansion of Qi. He had never seen the silver coins of Seleucid or Greece.

"Shangke." The fleet went to sea, and of course there were people who were proficient in gold and silver. "Indian silver coins are impure."

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

"Seleau silver coins, Greek silver coins are melted as soon as they enter India, and they are added with lead and tin and then cast, which is no longer pure." Wu Gou Chang talked about overseas experiences. The purest one is Greek silver coins, which contain more than 4.3 grams of silver, and many of them can reach 4.37 grams.

"Oh." Yu Wan nodded. He could not determine how much silver coins contained in the silver coins at this time, so he could only wait for the money person's report.

Buckets of silver coins were hung out of the bottom cabin, and the sailors on the deck were not surprised. When loading the ship, they had already seen what the sea-like gold and silver meant. Lu Gao, Lu Qi and others who were on 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.

The wooden barrels containing silver coins were hung one after another to the deck of the large-winged warship under the side. Under the supervision of the sword armored soldiers, the officials placed them neatly in the prepared wooden box, and recorded the documents and posted them with seals from the Four Kingdoms Gold Store.

"The sea boats make a lot of profit." Silver coins are not the style of China, but the income from foreign trade. After counting hundreds of barrels on the deck, when one big wing on the side was filled with another big wing, Lu Gao exclaimed.

"So what about Feng?" Lu Qi was surprised for only a moment. He was now unable to lift anything.

"If you make a lot of money, you will have gold, silver, grain, and fodder, and there will be chariots, horses and arrows." Lu Gao said. "If Zhao State gets this gold and silver, it will win the battle."

The gold and silver from overseas trade were directly imported into Zhao State, but Lu Qi could not understand the meaning behind it, but Lu Gao understood it. In addition, Li Mu already knew that the Chu State knew that the Secretary of the Communist Party was exploring Henan (Ordos Grassland), and it seemed that Chu and Zhao State would soon make big moves.

Lu Gao's guess was correct. What he didn't know was that Handan had no idea about the specific plan of going out to attack Qin. Only Ge De guessed some of the details. Only Li Mu knew about the specific content. Of course, Li Mu could not plan how to attack Qin by himself. His combat plan was completely dependent on the entire shogunate, but before attacking Qin, he had to defeat the Qin army in front of him first.

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

A few months ago, no matter how the Qin people insulted and asked for war, they even sent a set of women's clothes like the King of Chu, Li Mu did not go to fight. He also ordered: Those who dared to speak out in the army would be killed. This was a real kill. When the three lieutenants were hung up, no one in the army would dare to go to fight. Now the general was about to go to fight. All the generals were stunned and thought they had heard it wrong.

"..." When the generals were stunned, Sima Shang was already introducing the enemy situation and assigning combat missions. After hearing these Anxi, the generals woke up and knew that this was really going out to fight the Qin army to death. The tent was filled with excitement.

"Stop!" The shogunate suddenly became noisy, and Jun shouted loudly.

When the shogunate was completely calmed 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 could not fight with him. Now the north wind has risen, and the heaven and earth are about to be cold. They attacked the Qin people's camp and burned their baggage tents. Even if the Qin people went south to attack us, they would return to their troops to rescue him. The Qin army in the camp thought that our army was timid and dared not fight with him. The generals and soldiers were proud of their achievements, and their preparations had long been relaxed.

The Qin people attacked me without guilt, killed my brothers, killed my women and children, and now they attacked Fengsi and other towns. If they were to be defeated, Handan would be surrounded by north and south, and Zhao would be destroyed. Therefore, this battle was to save our Zhao State and protect our country, to fight against Wudao and destroy the tyrannical Qin. The King of Handan, the Prime Minister, and all the officials were to pay attention to us, and the Chu, Qi, Wei and Han were to pay attention to us..."

Li Mu looked as elegant as a Confucian scholar, but a fire burned deep in his heart. The attack was about to happen, and the flames in his chest were piping off, and his words were like red and hot iron, making the generals' blood boil.

"I will accept the order!" After he said this, everyone shouted wildly, and several county magistrates even tear their teeth to bite the Qin people.

The combat order was issued soon, and the cattle, sheep and wine sent from the rear were divided into each battalion, so as to allow the soldiers to eat before going to war. Although most of the battalions were laughing, no matter how much laughter it was, it would not be able to relieve 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 war anymore, he just wanted to relax his mind and relax the strings that had been stretched for too long.

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

"Yes." Among the many military officers, Ma Wei had seen the sea boat with his own eyes. He put down the teacup and gestured with his hands. "It's tall and large, and a boat can carry thirty thousand stones."

The reason why Ma Wei Ben's family was changed to Ma's family was changed. When he was a teenager, he obeyed the orders under Li Mu's tent and was considered a general of his personal guard. Because of his closeness, the childishness in his words was fully revealed, and Li Mu laughed when he gestured.

"It is reported that the sea boat in Chu has reached the west of Zhongzhou, and I don't know if we can find the dragon horse in Xizhou." After giving the order, the generals were busy, and Sima Shang had nothing to do, so he could only accompany Li Mu to have tea. "If our army has dragon horse in Xizhou..."

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