After receiving the imperial decree regarding the sale of official titles, Song Quan rose and asked Wang Zhong, "May I ask how to address the honorable envoy?"
"I am Wang Zhong, a Thousand-Man Commander of the Northern Secret Service."
"So, it is Commander Wang," Song Quan said with a smile. He withdrew a banknote from the Great Ming Bank from his robe and pressed it into Wang Zhong's hand. "You and your men have traveled thousands of miles to deliver this decree; it has surely been an arduous journey. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please, find a place here in Yangzhou to enjoy some tea and music."
