Chapter 2388 Too Much
After the first car left, the box on the second car still contained copper coins, and so did the third and fourth cars.
Li Shen stood at the door waiting for more than a dozen carriages loaded with copper coins.
This made Li Shen a little uninterested, but thinking of the many treasures behind, Li Shen was reluctant to leave.
In desperation, he ordered people to bring tables and chairs, and drank tea while waiting.
Half an hour later...
"What's going on? How many copper coins are there? What's the point of holding so many in this thing?"
Impatient Li Shen stood up and said angrily.
He had meant to vent his emotions with these words, but the corvée laborers and escorting officers and soldiers present had an urge to kill.
Is this what a human being would say? With so much money, Prince Ji actually said it was useless and even complained about it being too much? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
You don't treat them as human beings, right?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Three hundred thousand copper coins must be loaded onto at least five hundred carts. Now there are only a little over a hundred. Your Majesty, why don't you go in and wait?"
I will watch from here. After unloading the copper coins, I will report to His Majesty."
Wang Xuance hurried forward to comfort him. He understood Li Shen's heart and he just wanted to see the boxes of treasures behind.
"Five hundred carts!!" Li Shen was stunned after hearing this, then he counted on his fingers. One cart weighed more than 600 kilograms, and five hundred carts weighed more than 300,000 kilograms, which was only 300,000 strings of cash.
Three hundred thousand strings of cash is a huge sum of money that most people dare not even think about, and they cannot earn it in their entire life.
But in the eyes of top tycoons like Li Shen, 300,000 strings of cash is really nothing.
Li Shen stood at the door and stuck his head out to look back. The carriage disappeared after turning the corner of the intersection.
I don’t know how many carriages are behind.
Finally sighed,
"Ah~~~~Okay, then I'll go back and warm up before coming out again."
Li Shen was indeed extremely cold, his face was red from the cold, and his hands were kept warm inside his gloves.
Entering the room, Li Shen was lying warmly on the couch, falling asleep in a daze.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt someone pushing me. Li Shen opened his eyes and saw Wu Meiniang sitting next to him.
"Mei Niang, what's the matter?" Li Shen asked with a dazed look.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready." Wu Meiniang said.
"It's so late?" Li Shen looked at the sky outside, and Wu Meiniang helped Li Shen up.
"Yes, it's time for dinner."
After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she took the hot handkerchief from the servant and wiped Li Shen's face and hands.
"How is it outside? Have the goods been unloaded?" Li Shen asked.
"Your Highness, they are still unloading. I just asked the servants and they said it will take a long time.
Your Highness has gained a lot from this trip to the west."
Wu Meiniang and the others had just learned that Li Shen had brought back a large pile of treasures from the west.
"It's quite a harvest. There are copper coins in the front and treasures in the back. After we unload the goods, you can ask Ruyan and the others to pick out a few items."
Li Shen got up from the bed and stretched his muscles.
"Thank you, Your Highness, but let's let the Princess choose first after we return to the palace."
Wu Meiniang smiled and refused.
"Anyway, it's all yours to go back to. You can decide for yourself. I'll go outside and take a look. Please have someone prepare the food."
After saying this, Li Shen walked out of the bedroom and came to the warehouse, where he was still busy.
It has changed from unloading one carriage to unloading two carriages at a time.
"I've met the prince."
Seeing Li Shen coming, Wang Xuance came over to pay his respects.
"Well, how much is left to be unloaded?"
Li Shen nodded and looked at the unloading carriage.
"Your Highness, there is still half left. The copper coins should be almost unloaded." Wang Xuance replied.
"It's too slow. Send someone to notify Daowu Zhou and have him send 500 men over to unload the carriages together. We should try to finish unloading before dark."
When Li Shen heard that there was still half of it left, he immediately gave the order.
"Yes." Shitou agreed and left.
"It's so cold, why don't you get a brazier? What if you freeze?"
Seeing that Wang Xuance's face was red from the cold, Li Shen blamed him.
Then he ordered his servants to bring a large brazier.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Xuance thanked.
Soon, Zhou Daowu arrived with five hundred palace soldiers. Everyone lined up in a row, two people in a group, passing the ball to each other.
Suddenly, the unloading speed increased several times.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Tou came over with a notebook.
"Your Highness, the copper coins have been unloaded. A total of 2,721 boxes."
"Well, now it should be my prince's baby, right?"
Li Shen finally smiled. He came to the door and waited for inspection.
When the first box was opened, it suddenly shone with golden light. Lian Si reached out and grabbed a handful of pearls, agates, and jade necklaces.
Put it under your nose and smell it.
"Ah~~~The smell of wealth."
Li Shen personally checked several boxes in a row, and for some reason he suddenly felt much better.
Li Shen believes that all mental illnesses in the world can be treated with money. If people have money, there will be no mental illness. Isn't that just suffering without any effort?
Since ancient times, money has been the foundation of a person. Without money, there is no point in talking about ideals.
"Alright, I have to go back to eat. I'll try to finish unloading before dark."
After looking at a few boxes, Li Shen lost interest and turned to look at Wang Xuance.
"Yes, I will guard here." Wang Xuance saluted.
After saying this, Li Shen turned around and went back to eat.
The sky gradually darkened. When Li Shen came out after dinner, the lights were already on outside and a brazier was lit in the warehouse.
"Your Highness, there are only a dozen or so cars left, and they will be unloaded soon."
Wang Xuance came over to report.
"Okay, go call the commander over." Li Shen glanced at the warehouse which was now piled high with stuff.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The commander was brought over.
"Well, it's almost finished unloading." Li Shen nodded, but he didn't ask the commander's name.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, after unloading the cargo, I will go back to report." The commander resigned.
"Well, how many of you are here in total?" Li Shen asked.
The commander was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, we have arrived with 1,200 escorts. Our general attaches great importance to this, fearing that some criminals may rob us."
"One thousand two hundred people..." Li Shen thought for a moment and said:
"You've worked hard along the way, and I'll give you a reward: two strings of cash each. Later, have their team leaders bring their men in, and you can divide the money among yourselves when you return."
"This... Your Highness Prince Ji, we are only following orders. How dare we accept your favor? We will be punished by the general when we return."
The commander was delighted after hearing this, but he still refused. He was able to sit in this position, so he must understand some rules and principles.
It would not be a big deal if Prince Ji injured only one or two soldiers, but they had a large number of soldiers, equivalent to the military force of a medium-sized prefecture.
Isn't Prince Ji trying to bribe the army? Prince Ji is not afraid. He is afraid of being punished when he returns.
