Time passed until March of the following year as all the officials felt pain in their hearts.

As the spring chill faded away, people in Beijing changed into lighter clothes and started going out for outings.

Compared with previous years, there are many more unfamiliar faces among the young people who go outing this year. Upon asking, we learned that these are young people from other places who have come to Beijing.

Jingyuan Academy is about to start recruiting students, and various parts of Jing State have begun to escort the registered students to the capital as soon as the ice melts, not daring to delay at all.

Even the bandits on the road had to stay away from the escort team when they saw it.

After all, the bandit-suppression team under Emperor Jing is too famous!

Once you are caught, you will be sent to the mine construction team to work day and night, and you will die in there!

Even if they are not sent to these two places, their life will not be easy. I heard that the government has recently built an industrial zone somewhere, and all the captured gangsters were sent there to work and be reformed.

Although their lives were not easy as bandits, at least they were free. They could rob passers-by and merchants from time to time to earn some pocket money. They lived a carefree life. Why would they want to work like slaves?

Yes, after being bandits for many years, although they lived in fear, they felt that they were at least living like human beings.

"Brother!!! There's a big fish!!!" The shout startled the birds in the forest.

A thin, dark man in a tattered coat was nimbly leaping through the forest, his eyes filled with endless ecstasy, and his body was shaking with excitement as he ran.

Several men who were sharpening wooden sticks with stone knives gathered around a thatched house. When they heard the noise, they all stood up and looked over.

The people in the house also lifted the straw curtain and came out.

He was taller and stronger than the men around him, his clothes had fewer patches, and he was holding a sickle in his hand, looking at the direction where the grass in the forest was swaying with a puzzled look on his face.

After a while, a dark and thin man jumped out, extremely excited, "Brother, there is a big fish!"

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle, "The carriage is loaded with gold, silver and jewelry. It's pulled by two huge horses. The wheels are almost broken by the pressure! It's a huge cargo!"

"We won't take much. We'll just grab a few items and leave. We won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives, let alone the rest of our lives!"

The gang leader was not happy after hearing this. Instead, he looked at the thin and dark man in confusion, "How do you know so much?"

With such a powerful ability to get information, why would he go into the mountains and become a bandit?

As he said this, he winked at the men beside him, asking them to capture the thin and dark man.

The dark and thin man was dumbfounded, "Brother?"

The gang leader suspected: "Did you betray the village and use the heads of the people in the village to please the bandit officials?"

"It's unfair, big brother!" the thin dark man cried out, "The treasures on the carriage were not covered with anything, just exposed in the daylight, piled up with peaks, the luster of the gold and silver was so dazzling, I can see it even if I'm blind!"

Seeing that no one believed him, he swore, "If what I said is false, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

He stamped his feet anxiously, "Brother, if we don't take action now, the team will enter the territory of the capital. By then it will be too late!"

The others were moved by what the thin dark man said, and all looked at the gang leader.

Seeing the sincerity of the thin dark man, the gang leader was immediately tempted and pointed at the thin dark man and said, "You lead the way!"

Then let others pick up their weapons and follow.

When they reached the roadside, they saw that the carriages in the team were filled with gold and silver that emitted a dazzling light.

Just as the thin dark man said, they all stuck out, making them wish the road was a little more rugged so that they could shake all the gold and silver down!

The bandits were so excited as they watched the gold, silver and jewelry passing before their eyes that their legs and feet almost lost control and they ran away.

The gang leader felt strange, the team was too long.

You can't see the beginning or the end. You have to know that this road is quite far from the thatched hut. They have been going back and forth, but the team transporting the gold and silver hasn't finished yet?

He felt like quitting.

Unfortunately, his men were blinded by the gold, silver and jewelry.

I don't know who subconsciously took a step forward, but this one step seemed to give everyone a signal. Everyone stopped squatting in the grass, and rushed to the road waving their weapons.

"Come on!!"

Along with the slogans, everyone became more excited and did not notice that the team transporting gold, silver and jewelry did not panic at all after noticing them. The team did not even stop, and the guards on the side even had surprise in their eyes.

The gang leader wanted to stop everyone with his hands raised in the air, looking a little confused, but when he saw that the fight had already started below, he gritted his teeth and followed.

An hour later.

In less than five minutes, the bandits were caught in one go and were driven to the back of the team by the guards with sad faces. Looking at the people behind them carrying large and small bags, tears immediately welled up in their eyes.

The people at the end of the team looked very down and out, and it was obvious that they were captured bandits just like them.

As soon as the two sides met, they showed the same expression of regret.

The team did not stop because of the "newcomers" but continued to move forward and soon entered the territory of the capital.

The team stopped in front of Jingyuan Academy.

People have gradually settled around Jingyuan Academy, which is built on the mountain, and there are many small vendors and tourists.

Seeing the endless army of gold and silver in broad daylight, he was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.

Sixty-Seven, who had been waiting with his men at the steps at the entrance of Jingyuan Academy, and the team leader One Hundred and Seven took the notebook to hand over the documents.

Soon, twenty carriages full of gold and silver were brought into Jingyuan Academy in full view of everyone.

The team set off again and marched for nearly two hours before the people saw the last carriage loaded with jewels and the bandits behind the carriage.

The uninformed people thought that they had never seen such a spectacle in their lives, and his was the most shocking thing that people in the surrounding villages talked about in the future.

The strong financial resources of Jingyuan Academy are even more talked about.

It seems that the notice posted outside Jingyuan Academy is not false. If you study well, you can really make money in Jingyuan Academy!

Yes, the people would rather urge their children to go to Jingyuan Academy to study and earn money than have any dark thoughts about the wealth of Jingyuan Academy.

There is no other reason, Jingyuan Academy belongs to Emperor Jing!

Who dares to act rashly? The whole family wants to do corvée labor, right? !

Yes, the people felt more awe than love for Emperor Jing, who had greatly improved their lives.

The officials who had just had their meat cut off were in a bad mood, because this was obviously the income of His Majesty's industry!!!

It doesn't go into the national treasury, it goes into Your Majesty's personal treasury!

All the officials knew that if this money went into the national treasury, no matter how willful His Majesty was, he would not directly allocate funds to Jingyuan Academy without going through the Ministry of Revenue!

Moreover, after so many years, all the officials knew very well that those named by numbers were His Majesty's private servants and soldiers!!!

Exhausted……

All the officials couldn't figure out where His Majesty earned all that gold and silver!

I haven’t heard of any famous wealthy businessmen emerging in Jingguo!!!
