Gold, or golden beans or golden beans to be exact, flew everywhere as the box broke, and in the sunlight, these golden sands emitted a dizzying golden light, and everyone on the street stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, and even wondered if they were dreaming, because only in dreams can you see so much gold.

However, in the face of this mutation, the men who escorted the convoy were all startled, and the leader also scolded angrily, and then let people surround the gold, and the guards of the corner gate were also afraid of accidents, after all, the eyes of the surrounding people were green when they looked at the gold, which made him immediately order, a team of guards to separate the convoy from the crowd of onlookers, so as not to rob and cause a stampede.

Fortunately, the guards of the city gate reacted in time, and the words of the golden silk touching the heart are not for fun, and when they saw so much gold falling in front of them, many people instinctively wanted to step forward, after all, as long as they grabbed one or two, it was enough for them to buy land and land, and they no longer had to work so hard as now.

However, seeing the swaying waist knife in the guard's hand, it finally poured a basin of cold water on these people's impulses, making them calm down temporarily, after all, although gold is tempting, life is also more precious, not to mention that these gold is the property of the Dingbei Marquis, even if they can snatch it, I am afraid that they will not want to stay in the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

The hands and feet of the men were also very fast, and after a while, they cleaned up the golden sands on the ground, and then left here immediately, but as soon as the convoy left, someone immediately ran over to look for it on the ground, after all, there was so much gold just now, maybe there would be a miss.

Not to mention, someone really found it, after all, the golden sand was too small, and those people were too hurried to clean up just now, so someone soon found a golden bean, which made the others even more crazy, blocking the city gate, and finally it was the guard of the corner gate who dispersed the crowd to end the farce.

At the same time, in a restaurant dozens of steps away from the corner gate, Li Zhang and Zhou Liang's father Zhou Ning were looking at the corner gate with a smile, everything that happened just now was seen by them, to be exact, this was originally deliberately arranged by Li Zhang.

"Dingbei Hou, isn't this a little too flamboyant?" Zhou Ning asked Li Zhang with some apprehension at this time, although their Zhou family is usually very public, especially likes to show off their wealth, and the food at home is even more luxurious than in the palace, but this practice like Li Zhang is still unheard of.

"General Zhou, don't worry, I not only want the people in the entire capital to know that we have pulled more than a dozen truckloads of gold, but also publish this matter in the newspaper, so that the whole world knows about it!" Li Zhang smiled proudly.

"Still going to be in the newspaper?" Zhou Ning was also taken aback when he heard Li Zhang's words.

After this period of development, the newspaper has not only gained a firm foothold in the capital, but has also begun to be distributed in other cities, such as Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, but because of the distance, the news in the newspaper may lag behind.

"Wealth does not return to their hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night, who knows! We have made so much money in Nanyang, so naturally we want everyone in the world to know! Li Zhang laughed again.

"This ...... This ......" Zhou Ning looked embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say?

Some time ago, Li Zhang, together with the Zhou family and several other nobles, bought a fleet in Quanzhou to go to the South Seas, Li Zhang had killed so many Hu merchants before, and he also had a lot of priceless routes in his hands, in order to attract these nobles, so the more money he made in the first business, the better, so Li Zhang chose a route with the greatest value.

There are several islands rich in gold and spices on this route, and the natives are also willing to trade with the outside world, while Li Zhang's fleet is full of cotton cloth, porcelain and other goods, and they reach the South Seas along this route, and the richness of this route also exceeds Li Zhang's expectations, ordinary cotton cloth and porcelain and other goods, in exchange for more than a dozen ships full of spices, as well as a large amount of gold, precious stones, etc., the net profit has reached more than ten times.

For this successful trade, Li Zhang also decided to hype, after all, the only way to make Song's eyes turn from the land to the sea is to let them see huge profits, no matter which era of people, are profit-seeking nature, so Li Zhang designed the scene of Jiaomen, I believe that after today, the entire capital will know that he transported a large amount of gold from other places.

Of course, this was not enough, Li Zhang also planned to hold a dividend meeting, publicly send the gold to the homes of several nobles involved in the trade, and also publish it in the newspaper to announce it to the world, when he did not believe that other people were not moved.

Zhou Ning is actually a little incomprehensible about Li Zhang's plan, after all, he just treats sea trade as a business, and now that this business is making money, what they have to do is to make a fortune, but Li Zhang is good, he wants to publicize this business all over the world, and others will definitely follow suit, so how do they do business?

Zhou Ning's idea is actually very normal, in fact, in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the merchants in the south had this idea, they monopolized the trade on the sea, and then encouraged the imperial court to ban the sea, and even colluded with the Japanese to force the imperial court to ban the sea, so that they could enjoy the huge profits brought by the sea trade alone, but they did not think that it was precisely because of their greed that they almost destroyed a civilization of thousands of years.

Of course, Li Zhang knew that Zhou Ning was unwilling to make it public, but the initiative in this matter was in his hands, so Zhou Ning had no choice, so he could only agree.

Things are just like Li Zhang's guess, that afternoon, the whole capital was rumored that Li Zhang had transported a large amount of gold from other places, wealth is always one of the favorite topics of human beings, so there are more and more speculations about these gold, and Li Zhang also took the initiative to release the news, let people know that these gold was transported from the southern coast, thinking of Li Zhang's killing of so many Hu merchants on the southern coast before, as a result, many people actually said that Li Zhang copied the income of those Hu merchants.

As a result, some people really believed it, and even on the morning of the next day, there were officials who impeached Li Zhang for embezzling the prisoner's family property, and in normal times, Li Zhang would be angry no matter how generous he was, but now he thinks that the matter is too small, and after the officials make such a fuss, it will make this matter bigger and bigger.

It was precisely because of the above ideas that Li Zhang did not rush to explain, after a few days of brewing, the turmoil of this matter became bigger and bigger, and at the same time, more people doubted whether Li Zhang really embezzled Hu Shang's family property?
