Two hundred and twenty-one chapters persuade the maid
Han De was silent after hearing this.
Since Han Du has the emperor's mandate, he can't say much.
Seeing that his father's expression softened, Han Du persuaded him while the iron was hot: "Besides, the child has to go to court in the morning, so it would be more convenient to live in the inner city to go to court."
After thinking about it, I felt that what Han Du said made sense. It was reasonable for Han Du to covet the prosperity of the inner city when he was still young. He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but it is always inconvenient for you to live alone.
, take Qinglian with you. I can help you cook and take care of your daily life."
Take that girl Qinglian over?
Han Du was immediately dumbfounded.
If Han Du really lived in the inner city just for the convenience of going to the morning court as he said to his father, then he would take Qing Lian there without his having to say anything.
After all, Han Du had long been envious and jealous of the life of strutting around the city with a little maid whenever he had nothing to do. If given the opportunity, he would definitely not let go of the opportunity to experience it.
But now Han Du is going to face an unknown danger and takes Qing Lian there. If there is an accident, wouldn't it harm her?
Seeing Han Du's hesitation, Han De looked at him strangely, "What?"
Seeing that his father seemed a little suspicious, Han Du quickly replied: "It's nothing, I just don't know what Qing Lian is thinking. Why don't you ask her first before the child comes down?"
That’s fine.
Han De thought for a moment and nodded. Although Qinglian came to the Han family to be a maid, she was only a servant after all, not a slave. It would be best to listen to her thoughts on such a matter.
Now that he had made an agreement with his father, Han Du returned to his room.
Find Qing Lian.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?" Qinglian's voice was gentle, like warm wind.
Han Du nodded and explained to her: "I have something to do and need to move to the inner city. Originally, I was planning to move there alone, but you also know that Dad is not worried about me being outside alone...
....”
"Wherever the young master goes, I will go." Before Han Du could finish speaking, Qing Lian suddenly expressed firmly that she wanted to be with Han Du.
This made Han Du, who was about to persuade Qing Lian, choke in his throat.
After a pause, Han Du explained with a smile: "Maybe you didn't hear clearly. Although the inner city of Qinglian is prosperous, there are also many bad people. If you follow, you may be hurt, and if it's serious, you may lose your life.
If you are worried, you should stay at home."
Han Du changed his story and told Qing Lian in disguise that it was dangerous to follow him. The reason why he didn't tell her directly was that he was worried that she would leak the news to his father's ears. By then, I'm afraid his father would not let Han Du
Move out.
Even if they were to move to the inner city, they would move with the whole family. Han De had already put his family in a desperate situation once. If Han Du hadn't seized the chance to survive, he would have regretted it long ago. Therefore, he is absolutely
Han Du will never be allowed to face danger alone again.
"Sir, I'm not afraid." Qinglian's eyes were firm.
When Han Du heard this, he smiled bitterly.
This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. You are a newborn calf and you are not afraid of tigers. You don’t know the secret methods of those people. I am afraid of you, sir. How can you not be afraid?
If I weren't afraid, I would stay at home.
Sighing helplessly, Han Du advised: "If you want to live in the inner city, you can live there again after the young master's matter is over. Just stay at home now and help me take care of my parents and my sister.
obedient."
After Qinglian heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing in a depressed tone.
In this way, Han Du finally persuaded Qing Lian.
Next, Han Du was very busy, thinking about how to decorate the shop and how to design various mirrors beautifully.
Thinking of this, Han Du suddenly remembered that he had promised Lan Yu's wife to give her a dressing mirror.
Without further ado, Han Du came to the banknote bureau and summoned Mr. Huang and Heizi.
Due to the current need to produce glass in large quantities, Handu left all the work of sand cleaning and selection to craftsmen, except for the proportion of soda ash and thenardite.
After listening to Han Du's instructions, the two nodded and agreed.
Not long after the two left, Xiong Shi opened the door and came in.
"Sir, you, the chief officer, have now become a rare visitor to the Baochao Lisu Department. Even lower-level officials rarely meet you once."
Han Du smiled awkwardly. No matter what Xiong Shi was joking about, he was a bit incompetent as an officer. How long had it been since he came to the banknote bureau?
He quickly changed the topic and asked: "How is the printing of the treasure banknotes? Are there any problems? How many have been printed?"
"Don't worry, sir. The Banknote Printing Bureau is printing treasure banknotes all the time. So far, nearly 400,000 banknotes have been printed." Xiong Shi briefly reported to Handu.
Originally, the printing of treasure banknotes was not so fast. In the past, treasure banknotes were printed with ink. After printing, they had to go through a series of processes such as air-drying and inspection. Check whether the banknotes are printed clearly and whether there are any
Contaminated by ink. Those that are unclearly printed and contaminated with ink need to be picked out and discarded. Only those that are clean and have clear lines can be sent to the treasure bank for storage. When they need to be issued,
, only then can the database be recorded clearly and distributed.
In the past, the engraving was made of wooden boards, and the ink printing effect was very poor. Therefore, almost half of the printed treasure banknotes were unqualified and needed to be scrapped. Therefore, the printing speed of treasure banknotes was not very fast.
But things are different now. The paper quality is excellent, and the printed ink is also quick-drying. The printed banknotes do not require any complicated processes at all. They can be cut neatly, which greatly improves the quality of the banknotes.
Efficiency of banknote printing.
"I still follow your request and only print treasure banknotes of one guan or less. If you print large amounts of treasure banknotes such as five guan, ten guan, fifty guan, or even one hundred guan, then even millions of guan will be printed.
It’s printed.” Xiong Shi said with a smile.
It was an honor for him to be able to print treasure banknotes at such a fast speed and with such good quality.
Han Du shook his head inwardly. It’s not that large denominations of treasure banknotes cannot be printed, but that they can only be printed in smaller quantities. Han Du’s purpose of printing treasure banknotes is to facilitate transactions between people. He regards treasure banknotes as a kind of currency, not as a gift to the elderly.
Zhu is always thinking about making money.
Of course, Han Du can also make money by issuing treasure notes, but this is incidental, not the main purpose.
The main purpose is to facilitate transactions between people.
Since it is a transaction between ordinary people, there is almost no use for large amounts of treasure banknotes. If ordinary people can use a hundred or five hundred coins, such treasure banknotes are already good.
