My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 641 Silver Transportation
"Dad, I do have a way to get Uncle Ping Jiang to send troops earlier, but I don't know if you dare?"

Seeing Zhu Gaosui's angry and helpless look, Zhu Zhanxi suddenly smiled and said.

"What can you do?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment when he heard this and then asked.

"You can do this..."

I saw Zhu Zhanxi approaching Zhu Gaosui's ear, and then whispered a few words.

As a result, after Zhu Gaosui heard this, his expression was also uncertain, and he did not speak for a long time, as if he was considering what Zhu Zhanan said.

After a while, Zhu Gaosui finally gritted his teeth, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Father is wise, I will definitely not let you down!"

After Zhu Zhan'an finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and galloped away with his legs tucked between the horse's ribs.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji going away, Zhu Gaosui finally showed a somewhat relieved expression. It was not that he couldn't wait for a month, but his relationship with Zhu Zhanji was delicate. The sooner things in Japan were settled, the better. One month The time was not short, and he was worried about what might happen again, so he naturally hoped that Chen Xuan would send troops as soon as possible.

…………

Another batch of silver ingots was cast. According to the rules, this batch of silver also needed to be sent to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

Manager Wang was sent by the Ministry of Accounts to escort this batch of silver back to Beijing. Before he came, Xia Yuanji specially told him that the bank needed to use this batch of silver, so there must be no mistakes.

Therefore, after Mr. Wang came to the Iwami Silver Mine, he did not dare to slack off at all. From the mining of silver to the furnace and the final casting, it was all carried out under his personal supervision. In the end, it was done under his eyes. Send the silver ingots to the warehouse for storage to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Today, this batch of silver will finally be sent back to the capital. As long as it arrives in the capital, it means that the errand of Chief Wang has been completed. He has done a great job when he returns. At his age, he will be promoted in the future.

Thinking of this, Chief Wang couldn't help but feel elated.

However, Mr. Wang calmed down quickly. This batch of silver ingots exceeded 10 taels. If something went wrong on the way, he might not be able to chop off ten heads, so he must not be careless before arriving in the capital.

Thinking of this, Manager Wang put other things behind him and personally supervised the workers loading the silver ingots into the truck, and then the novices put seals on the truck.

"Master Wang, can we go?"

At this time, a strong man with a beard came over and asked angrily.

This strong man's name was Jiang, and he was from Qianhu in the army. This time he would accompany Chief Wang to escort the silver back to Beijing.

"That's all right. Once we deliver the silver to Iwami Port and then drive the car directly to the ship, there shouldn't be any more problems!"

Chief Wang said with a smile.

Generally speaking, when silver is transported on the road, it is the most unsafe on land. The Shijian side is mountainous and bandits can occasionally be seen, but when it comes to the sea, with Ming Dynasty naval guards, safety is guaranteed.

"That's great. I've had enough of staying here for a long time. I drink that water-like sake every day, and my mouth feels like a bird. I really miss the Qiulubai in my hometown in Shandong!"

Eqianto was overjoyed when he heard this and said that he usually likes drinking, but in a place like Japan, the only thing you can drink is local sake, which has no taste at all to him. "Haha, when you get back to the capital, Jiang Qianhu, you can drink whatever you want, but you have to stop drinking on the road. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with this batch of money, even our two heads will be tied together, and it won't be enough for the court to cut off. !”

Manager Wang finally kindly reminded him that he knew Jiang Qianhu was addicted to alcohol and was afraid that he would be too drunk to get into trouble.

"Don't worry, I know what's important and what's important. As long as I'm on the road, I won't drink at all!"

Jiang Qianhu waved his hand and said very proudly.

The silver was loaded into the car, and Manager Wang and Jiang Qianhu escorted the car out of the mine.

The Iwami Silver Mine is located in a mountainous area, and the road from the mine to the port is also very rugged. In addition, they have to beware of bandits. Therefore, Chief Wang and the others are also very careful when walking. The slightest disturbance will trigger the panic of Jiang Qianhu and others. alert.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively safe. Except for a crazy wild boar that jumped out of the mountains and became a snack for them, they encountered no danger.

A few days later, Chief Wang and the others arrived at Iwami Port very smoothly.

A fleet of ships docked in the port, among which a special ship was very conspicuous. This kind of ship was relatively wide and looked short and fat compared to the surrounding warships.

This kind of ship is a treasure ship specially made by the Ming Dynasty to transport silver. The carriage can be directly boarded and then docked in the belly of the ship. Because the silver on the carriage has a seal, no one can open it before entering Beijing, otherwise it will be regarded as silver. Quite often, the people being escorted will also be held accountable.

Manager Wang stood on the dock and watched one carriage after another get on the ship. Then he boarded the ship again and counted it in person. After confirming that the seals on the carriages were all intact and that there were a lot of them, he then He breathed a sigh of relief.

According to past experience, as long as Bai Yin gets on the ship, most of his mission will be completed. After all, the ship is a closed space. Even if someone wants to steal the silver, they can't escape at all.

After Yinzi got on the ship, Chief Wang made an exchange with the officials at the port. Then he and Jiang Qianhu also got on the ship respectively. They had to be escorted with the ship until they reached Tianjin Port, then the carriage would be driven off the ship and then all the way to Beijing.

There are three treasure ships carrying silver, and there are also five medium-sized warships to escort them. With a fleet of eight ships, ordinary pirates would not dare to take their chances.

When the fleet slowly sailed out of the port, Manager Wang finally let go of his hanging heart. Since leaving the mine, he had escorted 10 taels of silver along the way. He was afraid that something would happen. Now he finally finally It's safe.

So Chief Wang asked Jiang Qianhu to prepare a table of food and wine on the ship, and they chatted while eating.

"Mr. Wang, when I return to the capital this time, I heard that you are about to be promoted?"

Jiang Qianhu asked curiously at this time. He also heard this matter from others.

"Don't say this nonsense. Whether you get promoted or not depends on the boss's wishes. But I heard that there are vacancies in the bank. Everyone knows that banks are fat. I have to wait and see if it's my turn!"

Manager Wang was modest, but his words revealed that he was likely to be transferred to a bank. You must know that the current bank controls the issuance of banknotes and is nominally under the control of the Department of Accounts, but the officials of the Department of Accounts want to Entering a bank is not an easy task.

"That's great. I'm here to congratulate Mr. Wang first. If you have any assignments in the future, just ask me. As long as I, Jiang, can do it, I will never refuse!"

Jiang Qianhu also said very wisely.

After hearing Jiang Qianhu's words, Manager Wang also laughed, and then said a few words of humility. However, when the two of them were chatting, no one noticed that there was a small boat hanging behind them in the distance.
