"My dear daughter, don't be afraid, ah. This is not a dream, it's all over, it's all over." He hugged Han Jingyun tightly with his arms, and tears filled his eyes, falling on Han Jingyun's hair.
Fortunately, fortunately, at the critical moment, my son thought of a way and met His Majesty. Only then did my family, who was almost on the verge of death, actually turn around and come back.
Without Han Du, the woman really couldn't imagine what kind of miserable experience the family would have had.
You can't keep yesterday's day, today's day is full of worries!
Han Du was in his sleep, and he vaguely felt the flickering light and shadow in front of him, and slowly opened his eyes.
Then he saw Han Jingyun standing in front of his bed holding an oil lamp.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Han Du took the opportunity to look out the window. It was dark, obviously it was still night.
"Brother, have you forgotten? You are now the Treasurer and Treasurer, an official of the imperial court, and need to be on duty every day." Han Jingyun saw that Han Du had woken up, so he put the lamp in his hand on the table and turned around.
Get Han Du's official uniform.
"You only go to work in the morning, right? Are there people who get up in the middle of the night to go to work?" Han Du was wrapped in a quilt and lazily in bed, showing no intention of getting up.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Jingyun covered her mouth and smiled, looking particularly hazy and charming under the dim oil lamp. Even a person like Han Du, who has been tested for her beauty for a long time, couldn't help but be moved by her expression.
"Dad has been an official for so many years, and he always gets up at this hour to go on errands. In the past, my mother served me when I got up to go on errands. Now, eldest brother, you are not married yet, so my mother asked me to come and wait for you to marry me later.
Now that you have a sister-in-law, you will naturally have a sister-in-law to take care of you." Han Jingyun covered his mouth and snickered. Looking at Han Du's helpless expression, he comforted him, "There is no way anyone can make our home in the outer city too far away from the Yamen.
.”
The layout of Jinling City, like many capital cities, is divided into the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City.
All the yamen of the imperial court, large and small, are close to the imperial city, but the distance from the imperial city is slightly different depending on the grade.
The higher the grade, the more important yamen will naturally be closer to the imperial city. For example, the six departments are all located closest to the imperial city. Even before Zhongshu Province was abolished by Lao Zhu, Zhongshu Province
Simply work in the imperial city to facilitate communication with the emperor.
To the outside of the imperial city is the inner city. In fact, the inner city and the outer city are just what the people call them. Although there are walls separating the inner and outer cities, the imperial court has not made a clear distinction.
Although the imperial court did not make a special distinction, it could not withstand the turbulence of people's hearts. Everyone wanted to be closer to the imperial city, which was euphemistically called sticky and noble. Over time, the people living in the inner city were all high-ranking officials and ordinary people.
The common people did not have the strength, let alone the financial resources, to live in the inner city, so they had to live in the outer city.
Originally, as Han De was a high-ranking official of the second rank, he could live in the inner city. But living in the inner city, the cost of living was naturally much higher than that in the outer city. Han De's salary was not much in the first place. If he lived in the inner city,
If you were in the inner city, you might not even be able to afford servants.
Therefore, Han De simply lived in the outer city, even if it meant that he had to get up an hour early for work every day, he would not hesitate.
This is just like buying a house in a first-tier city. Many people who are unwilling to bear the high housing prices in the city center go to the edge of the city to buy a house, even if they have to take the subway for several hours to commute to get off work.
Although it is a little more remote and takes more time every day, many people still know how to choose compared to the real money saved.
As for Han Du's Baochao Tiju Si Yamen, his rank was not considered high in the capital, and his location was naturally far away from the imperial city.
In fact, it can be seen from this aspect that Lao Zhu was just using the treasure banknotes as toilet paper. He had no money to fight the war, so he ordered the treasure banknote collection department to print out a batch. When he had no money to pay salaries, he printed another batch.
.....
The Tangtang Banknote Promotion Company has been reduced to a printing shop on the street. It does not have the prestige of the Federal Reserve at all, let alone establishing a monetary system and building banknote hegemony.
Fortunately, it fell into his own hands now, and Han Du was determined to forge the currency sword of Bao Chao.
With great difficulty, Han Jingyun helped Han Du get dressed properly, carried a lantern to Han Du, and then kicked him out of the house.
Holding a lantern, Han Du walked through the streets and alleys of the capital, sniffing his nose that was about to run out from the cold. He was cursing Lao Zhu, a big and unscrupulous landowner. In the days when he was an official in the Ming Dynasty, he was really not as good as a clerk.
Life in 1996 at that time.
In 1996, he still dared to argue with his boss. The worst he could do was resign. What is the saying? "If you don't keep me here, you will have to keep me."
It's a pity that now that it's in Lao Zhu's hands, Han Du doesn't dare to let go of it.
Want to resign? Be careful where you end up.
For the sake of his own head, Han Du turned up his collar to block the wet night wind and continued on his way.
As Han Du got closer and closer to the inner city, there were more lanterns along the way. These were officials who lived in the outer city like Han Du.
It's just that I don't walk on my legs like Han Du. I sit in a sedan and the lantern is hung in front of the sedan.
When my father was still the Minister of Household Affairs, he would ride in a sedan when he went out. But now that the servants of the Han family have been dismissed, there was no one to carry the sedan, so Han Du had to rely on his legs to travel.
Along the way, Han Du was heartbroken, "When I get rich, I will definitely buy a house in this inner city." Otherwise, he would have to get up more than an hour in advance every day. Just walking this way would make him feel uncomfortable.
My feet are almost blistered.
It was almost past midnight when Han Du arrived at the Baochao Tiju Si Yamen.
Originally, the chief official of each yamen would check whether the officials were late or did not come at Mao hour. This was called Dian Mao.
But the world is so strange. If other officials are late, they will be punished. Han Du, the chief official, is late, but no one dares to say anything.
Well, not really.
For example, under the current position of the hall official, two officials on the left and right looked at him directly, and their ridicule towards him was palpable.
Han Du ignored them and walked to the main seat to sit down.
He held the gavel and clapped it, "I, Han Du, would like to be promoted. Colleagues, you are here very early."
There was silence in the hall.
The two officials who had been sarcastic towards Han Du just now were now like clay statues of Bodhisattva, with their eyes closed and turned a deaf ear to Han Du's words. Others in the hall looked at each other, seeing that the two officials were silent, they did not dare to reveal anything.
Words and half words.
When Han Du saw that no one was paying attention to him, he felt a little embarrassed. He knew that these people below were trying to show him off.
Firstly, it is to deceive myself about being young, and secondly, it may not mean that I want to make myself empty.
Seeing this, Han Du rubbed the gavel and sneered in his heart, "Want to give yourself a chance? You have made the wrong calculation."
In his last life, Han Du was also an experienced veteran who had been struggling in the workplace for more than ten years. He knew that if he couldn't defeat their wishful thinking today, the treasurer's office would definitely not listen to him in the future.
"Yuan Tiju, where is Mr. Li?" Han Du continued to ask.
There has always been a promotion person in the Baochao Promotion Department. The original promotion director was Li Pu. But because Lao Zhu directly appointed Han Du as the promotion director, the original promotion director Li Pu was automatically dismissed. This is really a big deal.
Awkward.
If it were in other dynasties, according to general practice, he should be promoted to the rank of Li Pu and then transferred out in an honorable manner.
But when it comes to Lao Zhu, it doesn't work. Lao Zhu believes that it is precisely because of your incompetence that I found someone to replace you. Since you have no ability, then don't even think about being promoted, just demote.
Therefore, Li Pu was promoted from the eighth rank to the eighth rank. "Obstructing people's wealth is like killing their parents." Han Du, who directly occupied other people's original positions and kicked them down, is simply
It's a sworn hatred.
Although it was Lao Zhu who did this, no one dared to argue with Lao Zhu, so they had no choice but to target Han Du.
After Han Du finished speaking, there was still silence in the hall.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Han Du remained expressionless and continued to ask, "Are Mr. Cao Zhengcao of the Banknote Bureau and Mr. Cheng Shicheng of the Banknote Printing Bureau not here either?"
After saying that, he looked at the two people on the left and right, and they couldn't stand it.
"If you don't respond at all, then I have no choice but to report it to the officials and ask them to punish you." Han Du stared at the two of them with cold eyes showing in his teeth.
"Xiaguan Cao Zheng."
"Xia Guan Cheng Shi."
"I have met my lord."
The two of them stared back at Han Du with red eyes. Although they said they had met Han Du, they thought in their hearts that this was Han Du's humiliation to them.
"Master Han is such a powerful official. Since the ointment has passed, please forgive me for resigning." After saying this, the two of them were about to leave together.
The reason why the two of them were hostile to Han Du was because Han Du parachuted down and took the lifting position. Although Li Pu was still there, the lifting position was not available to any of them.
one person.
Bystanders think so, but the authorities don’t think so.
As the saying goes, what if the deputy doesn’t want to become a full-time employee?
Both of them believed that once the lifting position became vacant, they would be the ones to sit on it. The relationship between the two of them was not necessarily very good on weekdays, and they might even be secretly hostile to each other. It was just because Han Du suddenly
Arriving by air, he became the center of attack by the two men, causing them to unanimously attack the enemy.
Han Du clapped his hands and said coldly: "I am still here, where are you going?"
"Lord Han, there is no need to show off to us." Cao Zheng was not afraid at all, and started to sneer at Han Du with his neck raised.
