The box containing the gold sand was transported away, but the people who gathered around did not disperse.
When the gold sand falls to the ground, how can it be cleaned up with a quick sweep?
As soon as the guards left guarding the carriage, the people around them rushed forward, lifted up the stone slabs on the ground, and took away the gold sand and soil from the gaps between the stone slabs.
If some government officials had not arrived in time to disperse the people, a bloody conflict might have broken out. The people's enthusiasm for gold is obvious.
Among the people who dispersed in a hurry, one person turned around twice and entered a restaurant next to the street.
"Sir, this is a small piece that was dug out from the cracks in the stone slab. Please take a look at it." After speaking, he placed a handful of soil mixed with gold sand on the table.
The leader didn't mind the dirty soil, so he just pulled out the gold sand. He picked up a larger grain of gold sand and handed it to someone, "Master Jin San, let's take a look at this gold sand."
No one knows this person's name. Everyone who knows him calls him Jin Sanye. Of course, some people also call him Jin Sanyan, which means that this person has a sharp eye and can see the good and bad of gold without having to look at it three times.
"You don't need to look, we can see it when it's still in the soil. This color, this luster, this is rare high-grade gold sand."
The leader smiled and nodded, turned around and asked, "Did you see clearly? Are all those boxes filled with gold sand like this?"
"Sir, it's absolutely true. When the box was broken, the younger one happened to be nearby and saw the gold sand flowing out of the box with his own eyes."
After hearing this, the leader waved his hand and sent the man away.
After that, he looked back at Mr. Jin and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like it's fake. Han Du has really made a fortune now."
"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin sneered and said scornfully: "He made a ridiculous fortune. It was our emperor who made a fortune."
...
The breaking news that gold sand was missing on the street spread to everyone in an instant, and Tang He and Han Du were no exception.
"The stone below and the box of gold sand above can slowly turn into a box of gold sand. What kind of trick are you playing?" Tang He asked
Han Du walked towards the palace together and asked casually in a low voice.
After hearing this, Han Du's expression did not change, and he still kept smiling towards the surroundings. Just between the teeth, a small voice came out, "Master, there are so many smart people in this world. Our little tricks can deceive them for a while, but it is impossible to deceive them for the rest of their lives. If the boy doesn't use some tricks, , I’m afraid I won’t be able to deceive you even for one night today.”
After hearing this, Tang He couldn't help but pause slightly, and returned to normal in an instant.
"You still have many evil ideas." Tang He sighed, and quickly asked doubtfully: "But you are an official of the imperial court, and you talk about how to deceive people. Isn't this a little bad?"
"What's so bad?" Han Du didn't take it seriously, but still looked around and smiled, "Isn't this the way the world is? Wherever there are people, there will be people who are wise and wise. Isn't that what people are like?"
Tang He shook his head slightly when he heard this, ended the conversation wisely, and quickened his pace towards Fengtian Palace.
Lao Zhu has been waiting for a day in Fengtian Hall. It is said that waiting for someone is the most difficult thing, but Lao Zhu not only did not show any impatience, but also had a happy look on his face from beginning to end. Especially when the old eunuch came in with a smile and told him how much gold and silver had been transported to the inner treasury, it made Lao Zhu so happy that he wanted to laugh loudly.
Gold, silver, pearls, jade, rare treasures, everything can make Lao Zhumei smile.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Therefore, when Tang He and Han Du had an audience, Lao Zhu actually stood up from the dragon chair, walked quickly to His Majesty Dan, and personally helped Tang He up.
"My dear brother, this trip has been really hard work and meritorious service. Please come quickly."
How dare Tang He let his superiors help him up with his own hands? He quickly got up from the ground and held on to the superior's arm.
Lao Zhu ignored Han Du, not that he had any objection to Han Du. But although Han Du was a minister, he was also his future consort. Jun's parents and teachers, Lao Zhu was born with two. Lao Zhu was regarded as Han Du's elder. In the Ming Dynasty, which was founded on filial piety, even if Han Du made great contributions, there was no reason for him to be treated with such courtesy by Lao Zhu.
But Han Du just didn’t know enough about this.
, saw Lao Zhu letting Tang He get up, but did not let himself get up. Han Du didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only kneel on the ground stupidly, at a loss.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he sneered and said, "If you don't get up, what else do you want to do? Do you want me to help you up with my own hands?"
After hearing this, Han Du quickly got up from the ground. Even Tang He didn't dare to let Lao Zhu help him up in person. How could he dare to be so presumptuous?
"No, I don't dare. I'll get up right now."
"I really envy the superior." Tang He gave Han Du a meaningful look.
Lao Zhu snorted coldly, glanced at Han Du and stopped talking.
Then he said: "Brother Xian, you have done a great job in going to sea this time. Not only did you eliminate the Japanese pirates, but you also brought me such a surprise. Brother Xian, sit down and tell me about your overseas experience."
Although Lao Zhu had read a brief account of his overseas experience in Han Du's memorial, he still wanted to hear Tang He's views. After all, Han Du's memorial was Han Du's own opinion. As Tang He was the commander of the Ming Navy, his vision and knowledge were naturally unique.
Tang and Yiyan sat on the golden pier opposite Lao Zhu, sighing and laughing: "What impressed me most deeply this time I went to sea is that I am really old."
"Brother Xian is in the prime of life, why do you say this?" Lao Zhu smiled, thinking that Tang He was joking.
Tang He, however, was not joking at all, and said: "This time I went to sea, the powerful tactics of Han Du's ships and powerful guns really opened my eyes. The superiors also know that in the past, no matter how large or small naval battles were, even if they occupied an absolute If you defeat the enemy when you have an advantage, you will not suffer casualties."
Lao Zhu couldn't help but nod after hearing this, it was indeed the case. After all, the battlefield is a place of life and death, and it is impossible not to die.
Seeing the superior nodding, Tang He said even more excitedly: "But Han Du did it. Even when all the enemy warships were sunk, the Ming Dynasty was not damaged at all. Not just once, but several times in succession." , are all like that.”
Lao Zhu had known this for a long time through Han Du's memorial. From the moment he saw it, he wanted to find out the real situation. Now that I hear Tang He say this, I think it is really possible.
