In the third year of Yuande, the fifth day of the fourth month of summer, Chang'an, Bamen.

It had just rained lightly last night, and there were still some dewdrops on the grass at the city gate, and a few soldiers stood at the door with halberds, yawning, looking listless.

"You say, where is there really so much gold sand in Huaihua?" A soldier took advantage of no one's attention, and started chatting: "I always think it's impossible to ......"

The recent gossip in Huaihua can be said to be the focus of common attention of the entire Guanzhong regardless of class, age, gender, and age.

Although the bigwigs in the ideological and cultural circles have a mouthful of 'gold and jade, they can't be clothed in the cold, and they can't eat when they are hungry'.

But in the world, gold really has to be placed in front of people, how many people can really be indifferent? I'm afraid most people just say no, but the body pounces on it very honestly.

Literati and doctors are still like this, and ordinary people are even more vulgar.

Recently, there have often been rangers sneaking in the caravan and sneaking out of the customs on the Hangu Pass.

What are they doing when they go out of the customs, it goes without saying.

"Nothing is impossible...... a slightly chubby soldier picked up the conversation, and he said triumphantly: "You probably don't know, a few years ago, Wu Wei rebelled, and a certain eldest brother once went out with Gong Gaohou, all the way to Wu Yi's lair, and when he arrived at Huiji, guess, in Huiji, in addition to the copper mine, what else?" ”

"Gold mines......," the man exclaimed, "It was a gold mine that had been mined for more than 20 years and now produced nearly a thousand gold a year...... Otherwise, how did you think that the general school that went out on the expedition was developed? ”

This is a fact that no one can refute.

At that time, the generals who had followed the current prime minister on the expedition returned to the dynasty and became prosperous. Even the soldiers are full. Some people even brought back several of them.

It's really envious, jealous and hateful.

Now, the Southern Army and the Northern Army. Even the generals of the Thorn Gate Army and the Hosoliu Battalion stretched their necks, waiting for another traitor to come out of Kanto, and everyone went to make a fortune together.

It's a pity that the princes and kings of Kanto are all cowardly.

Now, in addition to 'Long live the Son of Heaven', 'Your Majesty's Shengming', and 'Your Majesty Fuwei can be powerful and blessed', they only know that 'the ministers and others wish to be a Han vassal forever'.

It doesn't disappoint.

Everyone is extremely embarrassed, and now, the only hope for the big guys. Probably only the Huns remained.

Although the Huns were poor and scum, they didn't even have a clean piece of clothing on their bodies, even the nobles, and there were nothing of value.

But the head of the Huns is worth a lot!

A head can be mixed with first-class military merit from the county official.

Moreover, the livestock of the Hun barbarians was also worth a lot, a horse was worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

If you're lucky, you'll capture a nobleman's mount. You can get rich directly.

Everyone was bragging about it, passing the boring time of guarding the city gate after the morning rush hour.

At this time, on the official road in the distance. Traces of dust appeared.

Everyone hurriedly stood up straight, and the devil knows, where did the convoy come from?

Anyway, there are many nobles in this Chang'an city. There are many relatives, in Qi Li and Shang Guan. If a brick is smashed, it will hit a distinguished prince.

And the gates of Chang'an. It is 365 days a year, and there may be nobles or official convoys coming and going at any time.

These nobles like to find fault the most, and if they catch themselves and others derelict their duties, bragging, and farting, they will be punished.

It didn't take long for a convoy of four wagons to appear on the horizon. On a carriage at the head, a flag fluttered in the wind.

Among the soldiers of the Northern Army, there are all kinds of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, among which there are many literate characters.

The guards of the city gates, it is even more extraordinary.

can mix with the fat poor who guards the city gate, and at least there have been first-class officers in the family, and even, if it's not good, someone is still the Shandong brother of Emperor Gao!

As a result, quite a few of these people are literate.

A soldier craned his neck, looked at the convoy that appeared in front of him, and tried to read the words on the banner: "Huaihua County Treasurer...... Officer" He muttered twice, and then, everyone reacted?

Huaihua County Treasurer, isn't it the Huaihua County Treasurer who is said to have discovered the Jinsha River?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, the soul of gossip in your eyes is burning.

As for why Huaihua County sent the officials at this time?

It has nothing to do with everyone, on the contrary, everyone thinks that it is really good that this master is here!

At this moment, everyone should be able to grasp the first-hand gossip information, and maybe they can brag to others when they go home.

This peaceful time is so boring, especially for the husbands of the northern and southern armies, this boring time can only be passed away by gossip.

"Sima, Sima!" There are also more loyal doglegs, who immediately called their top boss, Bamen Guard Captain Sima: "Someone is coming from Huaihua!" ”

"Oh!" A lot of heads poked out of the city tower, and it seems that the attraction of the word Huaihua may be more attractive than the little lady in Flower Street and Willow Lane. So much so that not only the Bamen guard Sima immediately poked his head out, but also the other soldiers and generals on duty on the city tower also said: We are also very interested.

In addition, the pedestrians and peddlers who were originally near the Baqiao Bridge also heard the movement and ran over to watch.

So much so that the generals guarding the gate had to act to separate these gossip parties.

And Sima, the guard of the gate, was neatly dressed, and with his men, he lined up at the gate of the city and put down his horses.

"Who's coming?" The guard commander Sima, when the convoy was about to approach the city gate, cleared his throat and asked very seriously.

The other soldiers praised their boss's 'impartial handling'.

In this way, the big guys can get first-hand gossip information.

The onlookers pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

The convoy from Huaihua slowly stopped at the city gate.

Everyone found that this convoy seemed to be carrying some particularly heavy goods? So much so that heavy ruts were left on the road. It's just a pity that the carriage is covered with an impermeable layer of straw and straw. No one can see exactly what is being shipped on it, only know. The quantity does not seem to be much, and the goods are only shallow.

"So-and-so. Huaihua County Sima Yang Shen, by the Huaihua County Shou, holding the order of Bo Gong, the commander of the guard, came to Shenjing to face the Holy Scheme, this is our ...... and official documents" In the convoy, out of a military general wearing armor, this military general gave a military salute to the soldiers and generals at the city gate, and then solemnly handed over his own biography and customs documents and stamped the official document of Huaihua County Shou Seal.

Sima, the guard guarding the door, took it and checked that it was correct. returned these tokens to the other party, and then, while letting people remove the obstacles in front of the city gate, he asked this Huaihua visitor who called himself Yang Shen with a smile: "Why did your official plan at this time?" Shouldn't the system be counted after August? ”

Everyone suddenly concentrated all their energy, for fear of missing every next word.

"Next month is the East Palace Empress Dowager Bo Qianqiu, Bo Gong is the Empress Dowager's nephew, although he has a holy order, he needs to sit in Huaihua to guard the land for His Majesty, but this filial piety still has to be tabled. Therefore, he ordered a certain person to return to Beijing, and when he came, he planned for His Majesty and reported all things in Huaihua. Ask St. Ga to approve something; In addition, it is a birthday gift for the thin queen. ...... with filial piety," Yang Shen replied without changing his face.

"Oh......" Wei Wei Sima and everyone else said at the same time, and everyone immediately understood.

Ask Your Majesty for grace. What's the favor?

Does Huaihua County still want to monopolize the Jinsha River?

Bo Shi, don't be too domineering!

Countless people are slandering in their hearts, everyone grew up in Chang'an City. Although the status is not as good as that of Bo Shi's dignified relatives, it may not be necessary to really respect or respect the children of some relatives.

The people of Chang'an, especially the husbands of the northern and southern armies, who have not seen them?

I think back then, even a hero like Jiang Hou, didn't he have to ask the loyal ministers of our Northern Army to take action in order to sweep away Lu Yi and set things right?

"Huaihua, I heard that you have made a fortune recently...... Wei Wei Sima asked with a smile: "I don't know, does the Jinsha River really have so much gold sand as legendary?" Or rather, you've found a mountain of gold? ”

The goods that can guard the city gate for the Son of Heaven are themselves the children of the Han family's military generals.

This Weiwei Sima, since his ancestors, has worked hard for the old Liu family.

In his own words: "My ancestors began with Fengpei Conglong, defeated Qin, entered Hanzhong, went out of Chencang, fought with Xiang, followed Emperor Gao, swept the world, entered the capital Guanzhong, and fought outside the city; My father waited for the Northern Army, set things right, and welcomed Taizong into the succession, which can be described as loyal and good for generations, Liu's minions, why be afraid? ”

He is just a hob meat, not to mention an official from a local county, even if he is a prince and noble, he dares to be just face-up.

For people like him, as long as they don't violate taboos, who can move, and who dares to move?

Once, there was a son of a liehou from other places, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he took the bull with him, and he was beaten with twenty rods on the gate, and in the end there was no, but he was rewarded by the officials, saying that he was loyal to his duties and diligent in the king's affairs.

Now, he had made up his mind to know something, and he felt that there was probably no one in this world who could stop him from finding out the truth.

"Where did Sima hear this?" Yang Shen still looked serious, and arched his hand: "These are all rumors, rumors, the land of my Huaihua...... Hmmm......"

A crisp sound, at this moment, suddenly sounded.

Yang Shen didn't have time to finish speaking, so he hurriedly looked back.

But I saw that the middle one was probably because the load was too heavy, and maybe because the quality was not very good, so it seemed that a car was broken, and some of the materials in the carriage fell out.

Yang Shen's face immediately changed greatly, and he strode over, and at the same time said to the guard Sima Wei: "Please Your Excellency, immediately give an order to protect the convoy, all of which must be paid tribute to Your Majesty, and there is no room for loss!" ”

Hearing this, the guard commander Sima also became serious, and immediately ordered: "All the generals will listen to the order and protect the tribute!" ”

The local tribute to the emperor's things, even if it is a grass, it is also a treasure, if there is a slight mistake.

Not only these officials and entourage, but even he, the guard captain Sima, is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Therefore, the soldiers on the tower and near the city gate immediately took action, holding weapons, and isolated the onlookers, as if they were facing a great enemy.

It's just that......

The guard commander Sima followed his gaze and looked at the 'tributes' that had fallen to the ground.

It seemed to be two or three small sacks, and the bags seemed to contain something like sand, and they fell to the ground and looked heavy?

Sand?

Wei Wei Sima's brain seemed to have been struck by lightning.

The other soldiers also opened their mouths wide.

Rumors, discussions in the market, and some strange changes in Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.

None of you are stupid, it's all at this time, and you still don't understand, what are these carriages loaded on?

As if to support everyone's point of view, when the entourage of a convoy picked up a small bag that had fallen on the ground, the small bag may not have been tightly tied, and all of a sudden, countless fine golden gravel fell down.

Beautiful, pretty, full of luster and alluring colors, the gold sand immediately catches everyone's eye.

Fortunately, this is Chang'an, and this is the Hanjia Shenjing.

It was heavily guarded and very strong.

Otherwise, if you change to any other place, the current situation will only lead to one thing - robbery.

Even so, the onlookers were very excited, and countless people shouted: "Ah...... Huaihua really has a Jinsha River! ”

"I'm going to Huaihua!" Someone shouted.

"So-and-so is going too!" The other exclaimed.

And then......

"Brother!"

"Virtuous brother!" The two big men looked at each other with tears in their eyes: "You and I go together and take care of each other!" ”

This guard Sima took a deep breath, and then thought in his heart with righteous words: "I want to apply, transfer to Huaihua, defend the land for Your Majesty, and defend the border for Sheji!" ”

Yes, my ancestors followed Emperor Gao, and my father followed Emperor Taizong, in my generation, how could I insult the great reputation of my ancestors, and wait for death in Chang'an, how could this be done by a husband?

……………………………………

On that day, this incident, like the shock wave of a nuclear bomb, spread rapidly.

There are pictures and truths, as well as eyewitnesses, and it is difficult for people to believe it or not!

And this golden legend of Huaihua, after these days of continuous fermentation and various versions of the interpretation, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the focus of public opinion.

At this time, this fact became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and its appearance completely strengthened the rangers' 'ambition to make a fortune' or 'big Han dream'.

Moreover, another group also heard the news.

Many lazy people who were originally eating at home and waiting for death, too lazy to eat, and only thinking about pies falling from the sky, and the 'pre-AD scientists' alchemists and warlocks also took action immediately.

Countless people have only one thought in their hearts: isn't this the turning point in life that we think about day and night and dream of.

Sure enough, the saint is right!

Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-reliant, the terrain is kun, and the gentleman is virtuous!

Our dreams must come true!

When I come back from the gold panning, I will definitely marry seventy or eighty little girls, raise hundreds of slaves and maids, and live a rich life of fine clothes and fine food! (To be continued.) )
