With the old eunuch's sonorous and powerful "Retreat!"
This court meeting, which would be of great significance in the future, came to an end. But at this moment, no one felt that today's court meeting was any different, and they dispersed as usual.
Han Du followed the courtiers and left the palace as if drifting with the crowd. Yes, you read that right. Not only did Han Du line up outside the palace gate when he attended the court meeting, but he also had to let the ministers in Fengtian Palace go first when he left the court.
After leaving, you can follow the crowd and leave.
Who told Han Du to be just a small eighth-grade official?
However, before Han Du left the palace, he was told that he was no longer an eighth-rank official. Because the treasure bank promotion department was promoted to the sixth-rank yamen, Han Du naturally became a sixth-rank official.
Beijing official.
When Han Du heard the news, what did he say? He just felt quite depressed, and felt like he couldn't laugh or cry. Why do others who want to be promoted have to keep stepping on springboards, jumping and gilding?
It was possible to achieve the goal of promotion. But when it came to my own place, it became a springboard for promotion, and then I took a hitchhike to get promoted?
Han Du was puzzled by Lao Zhu's move to allow him to be promoted passively, but he could still understand why Lao Zhu separated the treasure bank lifting department into a separate department.
After such a long period of time, Han Du continued to instill knowledge into Lao Zhu and even wrote The Wealth of Nations to Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu also had a new understanding of the importance of treasure banknotes and became more concerned about it.
Han Du said before that treasure banknotes carry the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and he understands it more deeply. The Bao Banknote Collection Department is responsible for the important task of printing treasure banknotes, so naturally it is no longer suitable to continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Being able to be independent is naturally the best.
If such an important place as the Treasure Note Collection Department is not in his hands, Lao Zhu would probably have trouble sleeping and eating. If the Treasure Note Collection Department continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, then what if the Ministry of Accounts no longer agrees with him one day?
Wouldn't that be a huge mess?
Han Du shook his head and stopped thinking about this. When he came to his senses, he realized that in just a short time, the courtiers were no longer around, so he hurriedly walked out.
Just walking through a street, Han Du saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. He walked over without paying attention and passed the carriage. Who knew that just as he passed by, a big hand silently
fell from the sky, landed on Han Du's shoulder, and grabbed Han Du into the carriage like a chicken.
Han Du thought that the group of people who were pretending to be clever and trying to scare him were attacking him. He was about to shout when he suddenly saw Mao Xiang's handsome and smiling face.
However, Han Du didn't know if his own inner thoughts were at work. Even if Mao Xiang had a smile on his face, in Han Du's opinion, the smile would send shivers down his spine.
Just as he was about to ask Mao Xiang what he wanted to do, he saw Mao Xiang silently gesturing towards him into the carriage.
Okay, what else doesn't Han Du understand? Lao Zhu must be in the carriage. And it must be Lao Zhu's idea to lift him up.
After rubbing his face to wipe away the dissatisfaction, Han Du opened the curtain of the carriage and walked in with a happy smile.
As soon as he entered, Han Du saw Lao Zhu dressed in regular clothes and sitting inside with a big horse and a golden sword.
"My lord, Han Du, pays homage to the emperor."
Lao Zhu glanced at Han Du and said casually: "No, sit down. I came out incognito today, so you don't have to worry about some etiquette."
Han Du sat down carefully, not daring to ask random questions, so he could only wait for Lao Zhu to speak.
But it was such a coincidence that the more Han Du wanted to know the reason why Lao Zhu was looking for him today, the more silent Lao Zhu was. Han Du couldn't help but feel a little anxious and frightened. In the end, Han Du was really
Unable to hold it any longer, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, don't you know where we are going?"
Lao Zhu did not hide anything and said directly: "I want to go to the Banknote Printing Bureau."
Lao Zhu unveiled the treasure banknote at the court meeting today. Although it was unanimously praised by all the officials, it also reminded him that he had only a partial understanding of how the treasure banknote was made. And he only knew so little.
It was all what Han Du had told him in the past. How could he rest assured about something as important as treasure banknotes if he didn't go and see it for himself?
Lao Zhu is a man who sits up and walks quickly. Now that he thought about it, he quickly went to the printing office. Therefore, the scene just happened.
Han Du was convinced after hearing this, and his face relaxed. If Lao Zhu wants to see it, go and see it. Anyway, there are no secrets about the Banknote Printing Bureau to Lao Zhu.
The carriage soon arrived at the banknote printing bureau.
Today's banknotes and the Second Banknote Printing Bureau have changed a lot compared to the past. Originally there were just a few isolated houses, but now these houses are surrounded by a tall wall. There are only one east and one west.
direction, leaving two gates.
There are soldiers from the Shanzi Battalion guarding the gate outside, and soldiers are constantly patrolling along the high wall.
The first place the carriage came to was the banknote bureau on the east side.
The guarding soldier saw a carriage stop in front of the door, and was about to step forward to ask with an unkind expression, when he saw Han Du getting out of the carriage.
"General." After the soldiers bowed, they retreated.
Lao Zhu, who was behind Han Du, saw this scene and nodded with a smile. He said to Han Du: "Last time you said in front of us that you didn't know how to lead troops, but now it seems that you are doing quite well.
The morale of these soldiers is very good."
Han Du smiled bitterly when he heard this and explained: "Your Majesty, I am not humble. I really don't know how to lead troops. Xu Chengfei is doing the things that the soldiers usually train. I don't dare to deceive the emperor. Since the emperor asked me to command the mountains,
I can count on one hand the number of times I have gone to the military camp since the establishment of the camp. Otherwise, the emperor should have withdrawn this stupid general. I am really uncomfortable with this. I don’t know anything about training soldiers or charging into battle. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about it.
If one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted."
Han Du really doesn’t want to be the general of this troubled Shanzi camp. Although Han Du also had a good impression of being a general in the past, and his blood would boil when he saw war movies. But this is like Ye Gong loves dragons. Watching the fun is one thing.
, it’s one thing to go into battle yourself.
Han Du has never thought about going to the battlefield in person one day, and he doesn't even want to go to the military camp. In Han Du's view, the place he should go to is a brothel, with fine wine and food, and warm and fragrant jade. Instead of running to
Inside the military camp, I saw a group of hard-blooded rough men.
