"what is that?"
I saw that after the gold and silver had been transported, there was still an endless stream of ships behind. Someone asked, pointing to a box on a ship, which was covered with white flowers and was round and shiny.
"It's a pearl!" someone exclaimed.
Pearls, are there such big pearls? Crowded on the bank of the Qinhuai River, one can clearly see the pearls on the boat. You must know that large pearls are extremely rare, and one pearl is worth as much as ten or hundreds of ordinary pearls.
Such a thing, which is enough to make people regard it as a treasure when they see it, is now packed in a box?
But what happened next made the people of the capital gasp in surprise.
The blood-red coral, which is taller than a human, is crystal clear. The giant clam, which is bigger than a washbasin, is extremely spiritual. It is completely exposed and attracts people on both sides of the Qinhuai River to marvel.
It's a pity that the vast majority of people have never even heard of it, let alone seen it with their own eyes.
"What is this? It's so beautiful."
A knowledgeable person murmured to himself with a look of shock, "This is a clam, a rare treasure in the sea, the first of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. It is rarely seen in the palaces of princes and ministers, but none this big. Such a big one , maybe it’s only in the emperor’s treasure house. Take a few more looks now, if you take one less look at this thing, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to see it again in the future.”
The person who spoke immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. This person could only be recognized by the princes and ministers, so he was probably not an ordinary person.
Before the man could recover from the gazes of the people around him, he saw a boat slowly approaching.
"This, this..." The man was suddenly frightened and his whole body began to shake. He raised his hand and pointed at the things on the boat, silently speechless.
"What is this? It's dark and doesn't look good at all."
"That's right, that's right, this thing is completely incomparable to the previous clam."
Hearing the comments of the people, the man suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at everyone with the eyes of a country bumpkin.
He said in a faint tone: "Do you know what that is?"
"What is it?"
"Ambergris, have you heard of it?"
Everyone knows about the famous name of ambergris. Who hasn’t heard of it? But, not
People have seen it.
"Could it be that that thing is ambergris?"
The man nodded slowly, "Yes, that's ambergris. Usually a penny of ambergris is extremely rare. I didn't expect that Han Du would use a ship to transport ambergris."
As he said this, the man didn't know what to say. It was really difficult to express his shock in words.
The people around him did not show any surprise when they heard this man calling Jing Haibo by his first name. Since this person has even seen things like ambergris, how can he be an ordinary person?
The common people are not fools. They will pretend to be deaf and dumb when hearing some words, and they will also say that they did not hear them.
"Did Jing Haibo break into the Dragon Prince's treasure house this time when he went to sea?"
Some people sighed, and others nodded in agreement.
It's really possible that he ran into the Dragon King's treasure house. Otherwise, how could he get so many treasures at once?
Han Du and Tang He also stood on the boat and entered Beijing along the Qinhuai River.
"You are so clever. You even filled the box with stones and only put a thin layer of gold on top." Tang He teased Han Du with a smile.
Han Du didn't take it seriously, smiled, and said: "Since the emperor needs gold and silver to boost people's hearts, the more gold and silver, the better. Although we don't have more gold and silver, it still makes people look like they have a lot. It can be done. Anyway, the people are just watching this for fun."
Tang He shook his head and smiled, admiring Han Du's cleverness.
On a bridge across the Qinhuai River, Yanxue and Xiangxue took Yao Yue and stood on the bridge together looking at the fleet.
The three of them have graceful figures and exquisite facial features. Together with their bright robes, they are so bright and eye-catching that it makes people feel like there is a skylight in front of them. Therefore, although the bridge was crowded with people who wanted to see the treasures on the ship, there was a large space around the three people. No one, male or female, old or young, dared to approach.
Not only women will feel inferior when seeing three people, but also men.
"It's coming, it's coming. Yao Yue, look, I see my uncle." Xiangxue jumped up and down like a magpie, pulling Yao Yue to look into the river.
"Where is it?" Yao Yue looked anxiously in the direction Xiangxue pointed out, and sure enough she saw Han Du standing on the boat with his hands behind his back. Her pretty face turned red immediately, but after a moment, she blushed again
He looked boldly towards Han Du.
While Han Du was chatting with Tang He, his eyes inadvertently glanced and saw Yao Yue and others on the bridge. There was no other way. The three of them were standing together and wearing bright robes. It was impossible for Han Du not to notice them.
Although I felt a little strange, the three of them came out to join in the fun. But since Han Du had set up rules in the Jiaofang Secretary, they were not allowed to go out. Then it doesn't matter if they want to go out for a walk.
Han Du smiled and nodded slightly towards the three of them, indicating that they had seen each other before.
Xiangxue and Yanxue cheered without any scruples.
"Uncle saw me."
"Saw me too."
Only Yao Yue's face was covered with crimson, she bit her lip lightly, not daring to say a word.
...
On the way to the palace from Tongji Gate, a carriage was driving towards the palace gate carrying a box full of gold sand.
The crunching sound showed that the carriage was overwhelmed. Maybe the carriage reached its limit, or maybe it happened to hit a small hole in the ground.
With a click, the wheels of the carriage broke. The carriage tilted immediately, and the hemp rope tied to the box could not restrain the box filled with gold at all. The box suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, breaking apart.
Golden sand like golden sand suddenly flowed on the ground.
This sudden change seemed to break the last straw in the hearts of the people around him. Some people lost their minds and couldn't help but rush forward to grab it.
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
The personal guard who had been guarding the carriage suddenly unsheathed his sword.
A general dressed as a general stood forward and shouted: "Bold! This is the gold of the imperial court. You dare to step forward. Aren't you afraid of annihilating the nine tribes?"
"God's Coming"
The bright sword and the threat of beheading stopped the people, whose eyes had turned red.
Seeing this, the leading general breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed his men to forcefully close the wooden box and hurriedly clean the floor. Together they moved the wooden box to another carriage and left in a hurry.
Even though he was someone who had actually been on the battlefield, he was frightened when he saw the red eyes of the people just now. Fortunately, he frightened the people with the crime of annihilating the nine tribes, otherwise he would not know what the consequences would be.
