Section 708 Gold Rush (6)(1/2)
In the third year of Yuande, on the fifth day of the fourth month of summer, Chang'an and Bamen.
It had just rained lightly last night, and there were some dewdrops on the grass leaves at the city gate. Several soldiers stood at the door holding long halberds, yawning, looking listless.
"You guys say, where is there really so much golden sand in Huaihua?" A soldier started chatting while no one was paying attention: "I always think it's impossible..."
The recent gossip of Huaihua can be regarded as the focus of common concern in Guanzhong regardless of class, age and age.
Although the bigwigs in the ideological and cultural circles tasted "gold, pearls and jade, cold, can't wear clothes, hunger, can't eat."
But in the world, if gold is really in front of people, how many people can really remain indifferent? I'm afraid most people say no, but their bodies are honestly pounced on them.
Even if literati and doctors are like this, ordinary people will not be able to avoid the common people.
Recently, there are often raiders in Hangu Pass secretly mingle in the caravan and run out of the pass.
What they did after they left the customs is self-evident.
"There is nothing impossible..." A slightly fat soldier continued the conversation, and he said proudly: "You probably don't know. A few years ago, Wu Ni rebelled. A certain elder brother had gone to war with Gong Gaohou and fought all the way to Wu Ni's nest. When he arrived in Kuaiji, you guess, in Kuaiji, what else is there besides the copper mine?"
"Gold mine..." The man exclaimed: ︽↙Chang︽↙Feng︽↙Wen︽。
"It was a gold mine that has been mined for more than 20 years and can still produce nearly one thousand gold every year... Otherwise, I think how did the generals and schools who went to the expedition develop?"
This is a fact that no one can refute.
Back then, the generals who followed the current prime minister to go back to the court were all developed. Even the soldiers had gained a lot of money. Some even brought several Xijun back.
It's really enviable and jealous.
Now, the Southern and Northern Army, even the generals and officers of Jimen Army and Xiliu Camp have stretched their necks, waiting for another traitor to emerge in Guandong and let everyone make a fortune together.
Unfortunately, all the princes and kings in Kanto were cowardly.
Now, except for "Long live the emperor", "Your Majesty's wiseness", "Your Majesty can be a mighty and blessed man", they only know that "I only wish to be a vassal of the Han Dynasty forever."
It's so disappointing.
Everyone was very sad. Now, the only hope for everyone is probably the only one left.
Although the Huns were so poor that they didn't even have cleaner clothes on them, they didn't even have any valuable things on them even the nobles.
But the heads of the Huns are valuable!
With just one head, he can make first-level military achievements with the county magistrate.
Moreover, the livestock of the Hun barbarians is also valuable, a horse is worth tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.
If you have a little luck, you will seize a noble mount and you will get rich directly.
Everyone brags about their awesomeness and passes the boring time to guard the city gate after the morning rush hour.
At this time, traces of dust appeared on the official road in the distance.
Everyone stood up and said, "Who knows, where did the convoy come from?"
Anyway, there are many nobles and relatives in Chang'an City. If you smash a brick with a prominent life, you might even hit a marquis with a prominent life experience.
The city gates in Chang'an are 365 days a year, and there may be convoys of nobles or officials entering and leaving at any time.
These noble people like to pick on the most. If they are caught by them, they are neglecting their duties and bragging and spanking, they will inevitably be punished.
Not long after, a convoy of four carriages appeared on the horizon. On one carriage that was in front of him, a flag fluttered in the wind.
Among the soldiers of the Northern Army, there were various creeping tigers, hidden dragons, and there were many literate figures.
The guards of each city gate are even more extraordinary.
The poor man who can get to guard the city gate has at least a first-level officer in his family. Maybe, some of them are old Shandong brothers who are the emperor's elder brothers!
Therefore, a few of these people are literate.
A soldier stretched his neck and looked at the convoy that appeared in front of him, trying to identify the words on the flag: "The scheming official in Huaihua County..." He murmured twice, and then everyone reacted?
Isn’t the plot official of Huaihua County the plot official of Huaihua County that legend has discovered Jinsha River?
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, the soul of gossip in their eyes was burning.
As for why Huaihua County sent out a scheming official at this time?
That has nothing to do with everyone. On the contrary, everyone thinks that this stakeholder is really great!
Now, everyone should be able to master first-hand gossip information, and maybe they can brag about it when they go home.
This peaceful time is so boring, especially for the husbands of the North and South armies, this boring time can only be eliminated by gossip.
"Sima, Sima!" There was also a more loyal dog-legged man who called his immediate superior, Sima, the guard of Bamen, as soon as possible: "A man is coming from Huaihua!"
"Oh!" A lot of heads poked out of the city tower. It seemed that the attractiveness of the word Huaihua may be more attractive than the little girl in Huajie Liuxiang. So much so that not only Sima, the guard of Bamen, immediately poked out her head, but other soldiers and generals on duty on the city tower also expressed: We are also very interested.
In addition, pedestrians and peddlers who were originally near Baqiao also heard the news and ran over to watch.
So much so that the generals guarding the gate had to take action to separate the gossip parties.
The guard guard of Ba Gate Sima was dressed neatly, and he led his men to the city gate, putting down his horses.
"Who is coming?" Sima, the guard and guard cleared his throat when the convoy was about to approach the city gate and asked very seriously.
The other soldiers praised their boss's "fair handling".
In this way, everyone can get first-hand gossip information.
The onlookers even pricked their ears and listened attentively.
The convoy of Shangjian from Huaihua slowly stopped at the city gate.
Everyone found that the convoy seemed to have transported some particularly heavy cargo? It left heavy ruts on the road. Unfortunately, the carriage was covered with a layer of airtight straw and straw. No one could see clearly what was transported on it, but only knew. The quantity seemed to be not large, and the cargo was only a shallow layer.
"Some. Yan Shen, the Sima of Huaihua County, was ordered by the governor of Huaihua County, and the commander of the commander of the commander Bo Gong, to come to the Shenjing to meet the plan of the emperor. This is our talisman and official documents..." A military general wearing armor walked out of the convoy. The general saluted the soldiers and generals at the city gate, and then solemnly handed over his talisman and the documents stamped with the official documents of the Huaihua County County Magistrate.
Sima, the guard guard at the gate, took it and checked it correctly. He returned the tokens to the other party. Then, while someone moved the obstacle in front of the city gate, he asked the visitor of Huaihua who claimed to be Yang Shen with a smile: "Why is the noble official going to make a plan at this time? Shouldn't it be done after August?"
Everyone suddenly focused their energy, fearing that they would miss every word they would next.
"Next month will be the Queen Mother Bo Qianqiu of the Eastern Palace. Duke Bo is the queen mother's nephew. Although he is responsible for the sage and needs to be in charge of Huaihua as Your Majesty, his filial piety still has to be expressed. Therefore, he ordered someone to return to the capital. At the same time, he will plan your Majesty to report Huaihua's affairs. He asked the emperor to give his grace and approve some things. In addition, he will offer Queen Mother Bo Qianqiu's birthday gift to fulfill his filial piety..." Yang Shen replied without changing his expression.
"Oh..." Wei Wei Sima and everyone said at the same time, and everyone immediately understood it.
I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me kindness. What kind of kindness should I give me?
Does Huaihua County still want to swallow the Jinsha River alone?
Bo Shi, don’t be too domineering!
Countless people complained in their hearts that everyone grew up together in Chang'an City. Although their status is not as good as that of the foreign relatives, it may not be necessary to respect or respect some of the children of the foreign relatives.
Who has never seen the people of Chang'an, especially the husbands of the north and south armies?
Back then, even a hero like Jiang Hou had to ask the loyal ministers of our Northern Army to take action to eliminate Lu Ni and make trouble right?
"I heard from Huaihua, I've heard that you have made a fortune recently..." Wei Wei Sima asked with a smile: "I wonder if the Jinsha River really has so many golden sands in the legend? Or, have you discovered the Jinshan?"
The goods that can guard the emperor's city gate are themselves children of the Han family of military generals.
This Weiwei Sima has been working hard for the Liu family since his ancestors.
In his own words, "My ancestors began with Fengpei following the dragon, attacking the tyrannical Qin, entering Hanzhong, leaving Chencang, fighting with Xiang Ji, following Emperor Gao, sweeping the world, entering Guanzhong, and fighting outside the city. My father followed Jiang Hou and led the Northern Army to rectify the chaos and welcomed Emperor Taizong to the successor to the Grand Priest. He can be said to have loyal and kindness for generations. Why are the Liu clans afraid of it?"
He is just a hob. Not to mention officials from local counties and states, even if the princes and nobles are angry, they dare to stand upright.
As long as a person like him does not violate the taboo, who can move and who dares to move?
Once, a son of a marquis from another place, who was not aware of his life and death, was taken by him and put on the gate and beaten with twenty sticks. In the end, nothing happened. Instead, he received a reward from Shangguan, saying that he was loyal to his duties and diligent in the affairs of the king.
Now that he made up his mind to know some news, he felt that no one in this world could stop him from finding out the truth.
"Where did Sima hear about this?" Yang Shen still looked serious and bowed: "This is all rumors, rumors, my place of Huaihua... well..."
A crisp sound suddenly sounded at this moment.
Before Yang Shen could finish his words, he quickly looked back.
But I saw that the car in the middle was probably because it was too heavy to carry, and maybe because of its poor quality, so it seemed that it had broken the shaft and some of the supplies in the carriage dropped out.
Yang Shen's face immediately changed drastically, and he walked over, and said to the guard Sima: "Please give me orders immediately to protect the convoy. All of this is to pay tribute to Your Majesty's tribute, and there is no need to lose it!"
The guard Sima became serious when he heard this and immediately ordered: "All generals obey orders and protect the tribute!"
Even if the emperor's things are tributed to the local emperor, they are still treasures. If there is any mistake in it, it will be a treasure.
Not only these scheming officials and followers, even the Sima of the Guard, may not be able to take advantage of it.
So, the soldiers on the city tower and near the city gate immediately took action, holding weapons, isolated the onlookers, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
only……
The guard Sima followed his eyes and looked at the "tributes" that fell to the ground.
It seemed to be two or three small sacks, and the bags contained something like sand. They fell to the ground and looked heavy?
sand?
Wei Sima's brain seemed to be struck by lightning.
The other soldiers also opened their mouths wide.
To be continued...
