In Chang 'an City.
It was as lively as ever.
Too many things had happened during this period of time.
Therefore, many people were already numb to it.
Especially after the emergence of Zhang Feng's magical phosphate fertilizer and the magical method of screening seeds.
Previously, the people thought that the harvest would be better if they planted more seeds. However, they did not expect that only the most plump seeds would be used and the seeds would be thinner than before.
That way, there would still be some food left for them to eat.
Although it seemed like a far-fetched idea, they had no choice but to believe the imperial edict now that it was out.
If the emperor believed in it, how could they not believe it?
In addition, there was already some progress on the phosphate fertilizer.
At the foot of Longshou Mountain outside Tonghua Gate.
At this time, a large number of soldiers were digging up the mountain. It was said that they were preparing to build a phosphate fertilizer factory. Moreover, the emperor had even issued an imperial edict that the phosphate fertilizer planted this autumn would be free of charge.
That was the key point.
At this time, the people of Chang 'an City did not even farm. They strolled around Chang' an City every day. They wanted to know when the factory would be built and when they would be able to receive the stuff.
However, just as everyone was looking forward to that …
A sudden piece of news made everyone's ears perk up.
"Have you heard? The third son of the Zhou family in Taiping Square, the guy who works in the palace, found more than a dozen gold ingots in the house that caught fire last night!"
"What!?"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Everyone was in an uproar.
That was a big deal!
More than a dozen gold ingots. That was …
That was equivalent to the lifetime income of an ordinary person!
In an instant, the tea stall in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate was surrounded by curious people.
Their eyes were red as they asked about the ins and outs of the matter.
"Is what you said true, Old Sir?"
"That place is not far from here. When I came here just now, I saw groups of soldiers going in and out of that place. If there were gold ingots, they would have been taken away by the government!"
"That's right, that's right. This thing can't be compared to other things. This ingot of gold can be exchanged for several carriages of copper coins! There are so many of them. Will the government allow people to bring them in privately? "
"Liar …"
The old man chuckled and quietly took out an ingot of gold from his bosom. "Look at what this is!"
Instantly.
When everyone looked over, they saw a golden ingot the size of a fist in the old man's hand, flashing with golden light.
Hiss —!
They were all ordinary people.
Although they hadn't seen much of the world, gold was extremely rare to them. But this gold!
They all understood that.
The moment he saw it, his eyes widened.
The fist-sized piece of gold was engraved with things that looked like fish scales. It looked like a real fish scale.
What was that?
This …
How could there be such a strange object?
In an instant.
Everyone seemed to believe the old man's words.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Old Sir, this thing, where did you really get it?"
The old man slowly put the gold ingot into his bosom. He stroked his beard and said, "How can it be fake? And I should say something that I shouldn't say. The third son of the Zhou family is my son! He went there yesterday. This morning, President Zhang went there in person. I heard that Lord Zhangsun invited President Zhang Zhang Feng to have a look. I didn't expect that President Zhang would find an underground palace as soon as she went there! "
"Hiss —!"
In an instant.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Old Sir, that underground palace …"
"Old Sir, tell us quickly, where is the underground palace? Is it filled with this thing? "
"Old Sir, don't keep us guessing. Tell us!"
In an instant.
The crowd couldn't stay calm.
In the crowd, there were a few people who had been carefully observing the old man, as if waiting for something.
The old man drank the glutinous rice wine slowly and said, "Actually, my son didn't allow me to say this, but I was drunk today, so I said a few words. That place is basically sealed now, and the treasures there are almost all taken away by those people. However, the government seems to have rewarded Mr. Zhang Feng, but Mr. Zhang didn't seem to care. After taking some of it, he gave it to everyone present!"
"What!"
The crowd was even more in an uproar.
Who was Zhang Feng?
He was a great philanthropist known by the whole Chang 'an City.
Things that others couldn't do were easily done by Zhang Feng, especially the way of giving gold ingots. Others might not be able to do it, but President Zhang dared to give phosphate fertilizer, salt, white paper, and other things. Even during the famine, he didn't hesitate to spend all his property to help the people of the whole Chang 'an City.
He really dared to do such a thing!
