While Han Du invited Xue Xiang to the opera house, he told him interesting things that happened during the construction of the opera house. Of course, Han Du always talked about it in pleasant terms, for fear of making Xue Xiang dissatisfied.
Xue Xiang walked and looked around. He walked all the way until he looked around, with a smile on his face. As for the project funds, he didn't even mention a word. He just came here in joy and returned disappointed.
He left with a smile on his face.
Han Du didn't return to the room until he saw off Xue Xiang, sighing heavily and exhaling a long breath. To describe it specifically, it's like the moment you open the car door and get into the driving position after work after a tiring day.
Han Du was also like this. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the tea on the table and started drinking.
Aunt Li saw Han Du drinking tea like this from the side, and wanted to say something. "I didn't expect that your lord's face would be so great. Even Lord Shangshu came to support your lord."
Han Du was stunned after hearing this, put down the cup in his hand in vain, and asked tentatively: "Do you think the purpose of Xue Shangshu's coming today is to compliment me?"
"Otherwise?" Nanny Li asked back. In her opinion, when the Master comes here, he is naturally looking at his own face. Could there be other purposes? You must know that a dignified Minister, that is
With such a prestigious official position, who else can force Master Shangshu to come to Jiaofangsi?
Han Du suddenly put down the teacup, looked straight at Grandma Li, and said coldly: "Do you know how much money I spent to build the opera house?"
Aunt Li was stunned and shook her head.
Although Han Du had left her in charge of the affairs of the Jiaofang Division, there was not a penny in the books of the Jiaofang Division, so she was not very clear about the construction of the opera house.
Han Du stretched out three fingers and said word by word: "Thirty thousand guan, a total of 30,000 guan."
"Here, why do you need so much money?" Grandma Li suddenly screamed. Thirty thousand guan is a huge amount of money. If it had been before Han Du came, Grandma Li would never have dared to imagine that one day she would teach
If you build a building, you can spend thirty thousand gu.
"Is it more? More is enough." Han Du snorted coldly and couldn't help but explain to Aunt Li: "Do you think Master Shangshu is really here to help us solve our problems today? He is here to remind me,
The opera house is about to be completed, so I just asked you not to forget to give him the money. You see, if I can't give him the money when the time comes, see if he will fall out on the spot."
Now that she understands the purpose of Xue Shangshu coming to the Jiaofang Division, Granny Li naturally understands that if the money cannot be obtained by then, the Ministry of Works will definitely not give up.
"But sir, this 30,000 yuan is really too much. How can Jiaofangsi get it out in this situation?" Jiaofangsi has long been so poor that he has no money left, and he has not been able to pay for food for two months in a row.
, all rely on the female musicians to pawn their jewelry and other items to make ends meet. But pawning jewelry to buy rice and grain is okay, but if you want to rely on the female musicians to pawn jewelry to make up 30,000 yuan, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, Han Du had already prepared. He waved his hand to stop Nanny Li and said, "You don't have to worry about the money. I can transfer part of it from the Baoqian Lifting Department. When the Jiaofang Department has money in the future, we can
That's all."
"Now that the opera house is about to be completed, the most important thing for you is to choreograph novel songs and dances in accordance with the requirements of the officer. When the day when Jiaofangsi reopens, strive to be an instant hit. Only in this way can you make a lot of money.
.When that time comes, it will be easy to pay back thirty thousand strings."
"Yes." Nanny Li answered with some hesitation, with a bit of dissatisfaction and helplessness in her tone. Of course she was filled with anger. After all, she had an extra debt of 30,000 yuan for no reason, and anyone would be dissatisfied. Even Han Du decided
The same is true for the matter. Because these 30,000 yuan will eventually fall on them. But at the same time, Grandma Li is helpless. He is just a small steward of the Jiaofang Division, and he can't do it without Han Du's permission.
Lord, everything is just left to fate.
Seeing that Nanny Li was looking down, Han Du glanced at her and comforted her: "I believe it's only 30,000 yuan. As long as you follow my requirements, you can earn it back soon."
"I believe it, little one." Nanny Li replied.
Now that things have come to this, whether you believe it or not, you have no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with it.
Half a month later, the opera house was completed.
Under the leadership of the master craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, they inspected the opera house. Han Du was very happy. The opera house was built exactly as he imagined.
"Okay, very good, I am very satisfied." Han Du couldn't help but praise.
The skills of the craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering are really impressive. They were able to completely build the opera house they imagined by relying on pure carpentry skills.
The entire opera house is oval, like an enlarged rugby ball. In the absence of an acoustic and electrical system, designing the opera house in an oval shape can superimpose the sounds of performers to the greatest extent, allowing the audience to hear more clearly.
clear.
Someone has made a comparison. As long as the performer and the audience stand at the two focal points of the ellipse, the audience will hear the sound as if they are talking in their ears.
Although the oval-shaped opera house has absolute advantages for performances, it also has a very big disadvantage, that is, it is extremely difficult to build.
In order to maximize the echo effect of the opera house, Handu required the craftsmen to not only build it into an oval shape during construction, but also required that the inner walls of the opera house be polished smooth and flat.
Just these two points, Han Du can imagine that except for the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, other people may not be able to do it.
"As long as your lord is satisfied." The leader of the craftsmen bowed his head slightly. "To be honest with you, your money is really not easy to earn. Just to meet your various requirements, our craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have discussed it many times.
.To be honest, our Ministry of Industry really suffered a huge loss this time."
After hearing this, Han Du just smiled.
After all, this opera house is a new thing. It is obviously impossible for the Ministry of Works to build it step by step as it used to build palaces. And it will inevitably happen during the construction process.
There are many problems encountered, which can only be solved through discussions between experienced masters.
As for the Ministry of Industry losing money, that is even more of a joke.
