Qi Tian pointed at the boxes and told Zhou Qingyu, "These are two hundred thousand Taels of silver, I'll give them all to you. After the Bei Rong people retreat, you use this silver to recruit twenty to thirty thousand robust men, form a militia, and guard Yanming Pass and Erding City with them. In time, once I've pulled down the Crown Prince and helped Prince Zhao to replace him, the guards at Yanming Pass will be replenished, and County Master Mansion will not be lacking either."
Zhou Qingyu was overjoyed and said, "Rest assured, County Master, I will certainly follow your orders and fulfill this task efficiently."
Qi Tian picked up a fifty-Tael silver ingot and in front of Zhou Qingyu, he crushed the silver ingot in his hand. The previously sharp-edged silver ingot like a dough was kneaded into a ball by Qi Tian. Then Qi Tian poked a hole in the ball with his finger, and soon Qi Tian, with his hands moving continuously, had kneaded the silver ingot into two balls.
