These days, numerous big news stories had been emerging in the capital. The common people might not know the story of the Rong family, but they knew the vastness of Rong Garden, which clearly indicated the prosperity of the Rong clan. The Rong clan had descendants now, including a well-known and respected official among the populace—indeed, Zhou Shuren was seen as the very embodiment of a good official who got things done, especially since the Emperor had detailed Zhou Shuren's achievements in court, which had already spread among the common folk.
Now, the treasury of the Rong clan had the citizens of the capital all stirred up—those boxes filled with gold would easily drive people out of their minds if not for their lids.
Today, public notices were posted—the construction of roads starting from the capital would be funded with gold from the Rong clan's treasury.
