In the next two days, public opinion continued to ferment.
Rumors about gold are rampant in Guanzhong.
Even the tenants in Shanglin Garden were ready to take action, and the princes and powerful scholar-bureaucrats tried their best to refute the rumors.
Countless local prominent people summoned the local elders and declared: Elders, those who are poor can’t even burn firewood, so how can they get gold? Don’t believe the rumors, let alone the careerists with ulterior motives.
Encourage...
Some people believe it. These celebrities and local clan leaders still have high prestige in the countryside.
After all, most people are illiterate and still very convinced of these intellectuals and official figures.
Since a certain clan leader and a certain academic master have said that these are rumors, then they must be rumors, right?
These big shots shouldn't even use their reputation to defraud us fellow villagers, right?
If this is exposed, how can they continue to fool around in the future?
However, there are also many smart people who have discovered: Why is there no movement at all from the government's official announcement?
In the past, when similar rumors broke out, the internal history officer, lieutenant, middle doctor and guard were all as if they were facing a powerful enemy. All kinds of dew cloths were posted all over the sky, and countless laymen were wandering around, walking in the pavilions, and doing things door to door.
When it comes to work, the head of the household is required to restrain the young people in the family and not to listen to wind or rain.
But now, not only the internal history has no response, but also the county soldiers stationed in the beacon pavilions in various counties have shown no movement.
You Jiao and Liao Fu all seemed to have disappeared collectively.
This thing is very strange...
The first ones to react were, of course, the powerful rangers.
These guys have noses as sensitive as dogs, and they can smell something wrong right away.
Moreover, the rangers now have a backstage!
Among the embroidered guards of the Emperor's Eagle Dog Yamen, there were many brothers who had known each other for eight times in the past.
So, these guys went home one after another, picked up a pound of meat and some wine, and went straight to the homes of these brothers.
After half a day, I walked out the door drunk and bleary-eyed.
As soon as they went out, these rangers sobered up from the wine, and each one gritted his teeth and looked at the homes of the local powerful and celebrities.

The rangers all said: I bought a watch last year, it belongs to me, you liars! You actually deceived your fellow villagers, how shameless!
As a result, the mansions of celebrities, squires and powerful people everywhere suffered disaster.
Although the rangers don't dare to knock on the door, they are best at things like throwing stones to damage the threshold of your home, damaging the flowers and plants in the yard, crying and howling at the door in the middle of the night, and making your house restless.
But more rangers immediately chose to go home and sell off their property - if they had any.
In fact, where do most rangers get their wealth?
These guys have long since lost all the land left by their fathers and grandfathers, and they used to make a living by eating at Uncle Kunzhong's house or fooling around in Chang'an City.
Everyone feels that they have the style of the great ancestor, and maybe one day they can go home and show off in front of their father or Uncle Kunzhong and say: Master Shi thinks that his ministers are scoundrels and cannot manage the industry. It is not as good as Zhongli. Today's industry Which one is worse than Zhongduo?
Just thinking about this scene, the rangers feel that the future is really beautiful.
Of course, the biggest characteristic of the ranger group is loyalty.
Not only do you have to risk your life for your brother, but you can even risk your life.
If you want to make a fortune, of course you have to drag your brothers along!
So, everyone gathered in small groups and each took out the money and calculated it.
In some ranger groups, there are some powerful local princes or celebrities. These people are rich, so naturally they cover all the travel expenses of their brothers with a wave of their hands.
However, most of the rangers are miserable and have no wealthy people to save them.
Several people pooled their money together and found that it was not enough to cover the traveling expenses for the big guy.
You might starve to death halfway there.
How can this be good...
Many people decided to vote before leaving, but these guys soon discovered that the security in this pass suddenly became tense.
The local pavilions and the huts in each city are densely populated with patrolling officials and clerks. There are even some knight-errant giants who were famous in the past but have now been washed away and become Liu's Eagle Dogs. They lead their younger brothers everywhere.
visit.
Under such circumstances, no one would dare to commit a crime.
Everyone was convinced that as long as they dared to commit a crime, these officials and the hawks and dogs of the embroidered guards, who knew them as well as the livestock at home, would definitely be able to arrest them and others within two hours.
These officials, officials, and embroidered guards can recognize the characteristics of their rangers' methods and methods even with their eyes closed.
On weekdays, they don't bother to take care of people who are sneaking around.
However, whoever dares to play these tricks in front of them is tantamount to provocation. Provocation means seeking death, and if you seek death, you will definitely die.
As for leaving Guanzhong and having to deal with travel expenses on the way?
The ranger is even less courageous.
The group of rangers has its own rules and territory.
Not to mention looking for food across regions, even across counties, you have to be taught how to behave.
Fishing over the border, do you think the local ranger is a vegetarian?
If foreign rangers cause trouble, the local rangers will definitely search for the suspect more actively than the government.
I think back then, Guo Feng, a giant Hanoi knight errant, a world-famous knight during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and a member of Hanoi's powerful Guo family, wanted to come to Guanzhong to show off his power. However, he was taught by the knights in Guanzhong how to behave, and was accused of n+ crimes. In the end,
, this world-famous hero, who even married the daughter of Mingnu Tinghou Xu Fu, was punished in Chang'an and abandoned the city in waist.
A world-famous hero like Guo Feng has to be taught how to be a good person even after he has made a fortune.
How could anyone else dare to do such a thing?
As a result, these people immediately fell into embarrassment.
Without the expense, let alone traveling thousands of miles away, leaving Xiaoguan and crossing Liaodong in search of gold.
When these guys were struggling and confused, some merchants or local wealthy housekeepers came to their door one after another and expressed their willingness to provide sub-money loans. The interest rate was very favorable. They could borrow 10,000 yuan and pay it back in a year. All they had to do was pay back two yuan.
.
Although there is no clear official exchange ratio between gold price and five baht coins, among the people, one piece of gold can be exchanged for about ten thousand five baht coins at least. Sometimes, even eleven thousand coins can be exchanged.
.
Faced with almost double the annual interest rate, the Rangers were hesitant.
It is a serious crime for the Han Dynasty to fail to repay its debts!
The government doesn't care for anyone who doesn't repay their debts, and money merchants have great magical powers. You can escape even if you kill people, but if you don't repay your debts, there is no way to escape.
Even after you die, creditors can come after your relatives and friends for debts.
Just at this moment, another bombshell exploded. (To be continued.)
