Taking the card pattern back from Grandma Li's hand, Han Du said: "In that case, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will find a solution."
"Yes, sir." Aunt Li said happily, raised her head and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Han Du thought for a moment and said, "In addition, you should find some storytellers, give them money, and ask them to help us say good things. Don't be afraid of spending money. Make it a point to ask them to talk more about our opera house, by the way.
Let them spread the word about the fact that we spent 30,000 yuan to build the opera house."
Since the matter of spending 30,000 yuan to build the opera house has been impeached to the emperor Zhu, then Handu has nothing to hide. If he vigorously publicizes it, maybe he can attract some curious people?
After all, after spending so much money to build such a thing, who can not be curious about what it looks like inside?
"Sir, why is this?" When Grandma Li heard the adults say, don't be afraid of spending money, she felt scared. Because every time the adults said this, a flood of money would be spent.
.
"You don't have to worry about it, just do it." Han Du waved his hand, not bothering to explain the importance of advertising to Grandma Li.
Grandma Li gritted her teeth and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
He was about to turn around and leave, but Han Du suddenly stopped him, "By the way, you should send out the invitation in my name. The time is set to be ten days later, on the fifteenth day of this month, the Jiaofang Secretary
Reopening.”
"OK."
...
Han Du arranged a lot of things for Grandma Li, and he hurried to the banknote bureau.
As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by Mr. Huang.
"Sir, you haven't been here for a long time."
Han Du glanced at him and said angrily: "I have been suspended from duty now, how could I come here without any trouble?"
Mr. Huang smiled and did not answer. Although your Excellency has been suspended in name, he is still promoted by the Treasure Bank Promotion Department. If it were another chief officer who had been suspended, the people below would definitely heave a sigh of relief.
Even when you are on duty, you will feel much more relaxed.
But Mr. Huang's feelings were completely different. Since Han Du rarely interfered with the specific affairs below, Mr. Huang did not feel that there was any difference between the adults before the suspension and after the suspension. On the contrary, before the adults were suspended, he encountered
There was still someone to rely on for things, but now he could only rely on himself.
In comparison, it's not as good as before.
Therefore, when Mr. Huang spoke to Han Du, there was a hint of grievance. He wanted the Lord to come back as soon as possible.
Han Du didn't care about this. He remembered his own affairs and asked, "Where is Heizi? Call him to my officer."
Huang Lao heard Han Du's usual commanding tone, and the familiar feeling suddenly returned. He immediately replied happily: "Sir, please wait a moment, and I will go find him now."
Han Du walked into his office. Not long after he sat down, Huang Lao and Heizi came hand in hand.
"Sir." Heizi was also excited when he saw Han Du.
Han Du waved his hand to calm him down, and then said: "I have been suspended from duty now. Logically speaking, I shouldn't call you around. But you are the only one who can do this, and I don't have much to worry about.
." Of course, the last time Han Du borrowed 30,000 guan of treasure money from Xiong Shi, it was not considered a favor, because it had to be repaid after all.
Huang Lao and Heizi both looked solemn after hearing this.
Huang Lao said in a deep voice: "If your Excellency wants to say this, then you are out of touch. Your Excellency, just give your orders, and I will not give up even if I die."
That's good!
Han Du nodded and told the two of them what he needed. After finishing speaking, Han Du looked up at Heizi and asked, "Can it be made?"
"Don't worry, sir. It will take two days at most and the small one will be made for you." Heizi promised, patting his chest.
"That's good." Han Du nodded and handed the card pattern in his hand to Mr. Huang. "I don't want to bother you two masters. In this case, you can just take this. Let someone make some words on it.
The steel stamp comes out."
...
Two days later, Han Du saw the tool Heizi had made. Two cylindrical tubes made of pure steel were polished smooth and evenly, and were fixed side by side, leaving only a very thin gap in the middle.
With a wave of Han Du's hand, the red-hot copper plate was clamped by the craftsmen with long pliers and sent towards the gap.
Two people stood far apart on both sides of the cylinder. When the copper plate was delivered to the gap, they began to work together and turn the cylinder vigorously.
The copper plate that originally became soft under high temperature instantly turned into a thin layer of copper foil under the squeeze of the two rollers. As the copper foil cooled down, a complete and huge copper foil became
Show it in front of everyone.
Looking at it, a piece of copper foil was made instantly like rolling out dough, and it was much smoother than the one made with a hammer. Huang Lao and others looked at each other, but fortunately they had long been surprised by Han Du's magic.
No wonder. Therefore, no one showed any signs of shouting or yelling.
But the idea came to their minds that the banknote bureau had another way to make a lot of money.
Such a large piece of copper foil needs to be hammered by a coppersmith. In less than ten days and a half, the root cannot be made, and it will not be so good. But how long did it take them just now? It was just a few people, in the blink of an eye
It was made.
Han Du didn't pay attention to what they were thinking. As soon as the copper foil cooled down, he quickly asked someone to cut a piece the size of a card. Put it into the prepared mold, hammer it down, and print the writing on the copper foil.
Han Du picked up the copper piece and saw that the writing on the concave side and the convex side was clearly visible. He nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, it's as I thought. It only needs a simple polishing and it will be suitable for use."
The writing on the copper plate is much simpler than what Han Du originally designed. That is, there are two rows of words "Da Ming Royal Opera House" and "Jiaofang Si Supervisor". Originally Han Du planned to put the date and seat number on it.
, but now I find that in this case, a special mold needs to be made for each card.
The cost of a mold is higher than the value of the copper card itself. Han Du is mentally ill to do such a loss-making thing. Anyway, it is just a souvenir that is the icing on the cake. Why is it so complicated? Can they take it?
Just go out and show off.
As for whether someone will forge it? Han Du said that they can forge it as they wish. Put aside, there must be a difference between the forgery and his own. Once someone discovers it, it will be as embarrassing as a social death scene. Even if it is true.
Some people are shameless and show off fake cards everywhere, which is also very helpful in promoting the opera house.
