This situation is even more terrifying in the court.
Even if Lao Zhu doesn't care whether you eat or not, as an official, if you don't eat, you will definitely feel worried in your heart.
Moreover, even if you think you are doing the right thing and have nothing to fear, then your opponents, whether it is out of the mentality of not letting others feel better if they suffer a loss, or because they want to take your place.
Thoughts. They will definitely try their best to get the emperor to notice you, and even stir up trouble in the emperor's ears, in order to achieve their goal.
The same goes for wealthy businessmen.
Only by enduring the same hardship can we enjoy the same happiness.
In order to get closer to the officials, wealthy businessmen would eat the food without hesitation with a smile, not to mention that the food itself was extremely delicious, even if it was extremely bitter. After eating, they would even take the initiative to praise the food.
What are the benefits of something?
Han Du's words suddenly enlightened Tang He and Li Wenzhong.
Tang He patted his chest and assured the two of them, "I will take care of the matter of begging the emperor. Wen Zhong, I will leave the matter of the restaurant to you."
Seeing that Tang He was about to take action, Han Du said: "There is no need to rush this matter. Sometimes it is better to let the news spread for a while."
"Oh, that makes sense." Tang He nodded, "Then I will slowly find a suitable time to go into the palace and mention it to the emperor." At the same time, we must also negotiate with the emperor about the share. This is the most important thing.
Since the matter was not urgent, there was no need for Han Du to continue to pay attention. He announced his crime to Xinguo and left.
...
After the episode, Han Du went to the Bureau of Printing and Printing to try making ink.
However, making ink was still full of ups and downs as always. There was no progress at all for several days in a row, which made Han Du start to doubt himself.
Where is my protagonist’s halo? Where is my traveler welfare? Where is my foresight...
"grown ups!"
A scream shocked Han Du back to his senses from his depressed mood.
Han Du only saw a craftsman running towards him with a small copper basin in his hand and a look of surprise on his face.
"Sir, do you think this ink is suitable for use?"
At this time, Han Du turned his attention to the ink in the copper basin.
With just one glance, Han Du's pupils instantly dilated.
This ink!
It is different from the previous water-like kind, and also different from the dregs like ink pad.
This ink has a smooth texture like silk, and the smooth surface is shimmering, exactly like the ink in Handu Memory.
"Quick, give it a try." Han Du quickly called to other craftsmen.
The craftsmen around him seemed to be waking up from a big dream. Those who took paper took paper, and those who took seals took seals.
Han Du looked at the banknotes, pressed down moderately, and then quickly lifted them up.
He threw the seal on the table and carefully picked up the paper. Seeing the small, but coherent and clear lines on it, Han Du suddenly burst into loud laughter.
At this time, other craftsmen didn't know that this was a success? Along with Han Du, they shouted happily and laughed. The hard work in recent days has finally paid off. How can we not be excited?
Han Du laughed, pulled the craftsman over, and asked: "Okay, okay. What's your name?"
The craftsman was also extremely excited and quickly replied: "Sir, little Guo Liang."
"Guo Liang? What a good name," Han Du praised with a smile. Then he asked Guo Liang, "How did you make it?"
Guo Liang answered all questions and immediately replied: "The little one is..."
Han Du suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to stop Guo Liang's words, looked up at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked very hard these days. Today's ink printing is successful. It is a gratifying day. I am congratulatory.
We have decided that we will have enough wine and meat today, so everyone can eat with ease."
"oh!!!"
"Thank you, sir."
"My lord is mighty!"
Looking at the angry craftsmen, Han Du waved his hand to silence them.
Then, he continued with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these days. I have decided to give each person another five guans as a reward. Let's go and receive the reward now."
"Ouch~"
The craftsmen were even more excited to receive reward money, and one by one they hurriedly resigned and went to collect the money.
After everyone left, Han Ducai said to Guo Liang: "Now how did you make this ink? Tell me exactly how you made this ink. Don't miss a word."
Guo Liang nodded and told Han Du.
Han Du listened carefully, waited for Guo Liang to finish, and made sure that he had written it down completely. Then he told Guo Liang: "From now on, unless there is an order from me, you must not leak a word of these words."
Guo Liang glanced at Han Du in surprise. Seeing that Han Du was even serious in what he said, he took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and replied, "I understand, little one."
Han Du nodded with satisfaction and continued to instruct: "I hope you really understand. You must remember that this matter is not trivial. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger."
After listening to Han Du's words, Guo Liang felt the seriousness of the matter, and his face turned pale. He asked in fear: "Sir, what if the little one is kidnapped?"
Han Du glanced at Guo Liang calmly and said: "Then you put everything on my head and say that I deliberately gave you the prepared ink and asked you to bring it out in front of everyone.
.”
The purpose of saying this is to make the enemy think that Han Du is deliberately turning his attention to this ordinary craftsman for his own safety. The credibility is still relatively high. If he is lucky, Guo Liang can really escape through this
One calamity.
Guo Liang breathed a sigh of relief and his expression calmed down a bit. He gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Originally, the adults gave the prepared ink to the children. The children don't know anything."
Han Du showed a childish look.
"You have made merit in making ink, go to Xiong Shi to receive the reward of fifty guan." After Han Du finished his instructions, he finally came up with the reward for Guo Liang.
Who would have thought that when faced with the huge sum of fifty guan, Guo Liang was not happy at all, but showed a sad expression. "My lord, I'd rather not take it."
Guo Liang was naturally reluctant to part with fifty guan of money, but compared to his life, he still felt it was better not to take it.
Han Du tapped him on the shoulder, "Just now, I was praising you for being smart in my heart. Why are you so clueless in the blink of an eye? Only if you have to do a complete act, others will believe you. Take it, don't worry and be bold.
Take it. I assure you that the more you take it, the more others will believe your words and the safer you will be."
After being enlightened by Han Du, Guo Liang felt that what Master Han said was very reasonable, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart.
