Even if Lao Zhu wants to lower his profile and go to ask for advice.
I'm afraid that with Lao Zhu's current bloody reputation, he can scare the so-called famous people to death as soon as he opens his mouth.
After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhu gave up the idea.
Hearing that Lao Zhu was unwilling, Han Du was instantly dumbfounded, 'How come there are still people who want to refuse such a good thing?'
No matter how good the calligraphy of other famous calligraphers is, it is of no use to precious money.
Lao Zhu expelled the Tartars and restored Chinese clothes. In the eyes of the people, he was a hero who stood up to heaven and earth.
As for famous calligraphers and so on, is it important that they have a bowl of rice in the hearts of ordinary people?
The treasure banknotes printed with Lao Zhu's handwriting will increase the credibility invisibly; if it is printed with the handwriting of a famous calligrapher, what's going on? Ordinary people won't recognize it. At most, it will be cherished by a few literati who love calligraphy.
.
But Han Du could still tell which was more important than the hobbies of a few literati and the recognition of the people all over the world.
Therefore, Han Du had no choice but to ask Lao Zhu for help again.
Lao Zhu felt that Han Du was a little rude. We had already asked him to find a famous calligrapher, but he still wanted me to write. He gently put the imperial pen on the pen holder and asked, "Why do you have to have my calligraphy?"
"There are two reasons for returning to the emperor." Han Du explained, "First, the emperor's calligraphy is incomparably powerful, with natural and smooth writing, vivid manners, unique style, and elegance and clumsiness that contain erectness. The emperor's handwriting is so unique
It is so unique, it can be said that it is the only one of its kind in the world and is unique."
"I once said that the most important thing about making treasure banknotes is to prevent others from forging them. The emperor's handwriting is so unique. If it can be printed on the treasure banknotes, wouldn't it be equivalent to an anti-counterfeiting method? Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
There is a more critical point that Han Du did not mention. That is, no matter which calligraphy master Han Du finds to write, there is a possibility of leaking the secret. Since they wrote it for Han Du, they can naturally write it again for others.
.
Only by asking Lao Zhu to write, there is no such hidden danger. After Lao Zhu writes to Han Du, as long as he does not write in the future, no one can force him.
"Secondly, the treasure banknote itself has no value. The key to allowing it to function as a currency lies in the credit it contains. As long as the credit is sufficient, the treasure banknote will naturally not depreciate. The emperor is the emperor and the common master of the world. The emperor's
Printing handwriting on treasure banknotes can invisibly increase the credibility of the treasure banknotes, which is a matter of great benefit and no harm to the treasure banknotes."
Lao Zhu heard that what Han Du said made sense, so he agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you a few words. Come and write some ink."
The old eunuch quickly took the large piece of rice paper from the eunuch's hand, spread it on Lao Zhu's imperial desk, and said to Han Du with a smile: "Master Han is really lucky to be able to receive the emperor's gift of words."
Han Du smiled and glanced at the old eunuch, then turned to pay homage to Lao Zhu.
"I wish you great blessings from the emperor, but I am terrified."
Lao Zhu held the pen, glanced at Han Du, and said, "What do you want to write? Tell me."
"Your Majesty, please write the four words "Da Ming Bao Chao" first. Han Du didn't dare to let Lao Zhu wait, so he said quickly.
Lao Zhu frowned slightly after hearing this, "Why don't you write, Ming Dynasty's currency notes are as bad as the original ones?"
"Your Majesty, the new banknotes have a new atmosphere. I feel that the four characters "Da Ming Bao Chao" are very powerful, but adding two characters will make them less powerful. Of course, if the Emperor thinks it is better to use the original ones, then use the original ones."
Lao Zhu nodded and said nothing more. After calmly concentrating on the pen, he finished the work in one go.
The four characters "Da Ming Bao Chao" appeared on the rice paper. A unique charm connected the four characters, which made Han Du extremely satisfied.
Next, Han Du asked Lao Zhu to write down the words "one hundred essays, five hundred essays, one essay, five essays, ten essays, fifty essays, one hundred essays, etc."
He even had a little thought and asked Lao Zhu to write the "system for raising treasure notes" as well.
While Lao Zhu took the handkerchief handed over by the old eunuch and wiped his hands, he looked at his handwriting and suddenly asked Han Du, "You have fifty or one hundred strings, do you want to print such a big one?"
Treasure money?"
"Back to the emperor, yes."
"Then you are not afraid that the printing of such large amounts of treasure banknotes will lead to the devaluation of the treasure banknotes? You have also said that you cannot issue too few treasure banknotes. If there are too few, the role of currency will be limited, but you cannot issue too many treasure banknotes.
Too much, too much will cause the value of treasures to depreciate and shake the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty?" Lao Zhu wiped his hands slowly and slowly, looking at Han Du suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I print large amounts of treasure banknotes to facilitate large-scale commercial transactions. I will limit the quantity of this kind of treasure banknotes and will only print a very small amount of these treasure banknotes, which will not cause any problems."
It’s about depreciation.”
Just print a small amount? This is a good idea, Lao Zhu nodded. It not only ensures the convenience of large transactions, but also ensures that it will not have any impact on the treasure banknotes.
After Han Du finished speaking, he took the brocade box with the words from the old eunuch's hand with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and I will resign."
Lao Zhu looked at him strangely and saw that he was really ready to leave, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."
"What other orders does the Emperor have?" Han Du was a little surprised. He didn't know why Lao Zhu stopped him.
"You came to see me today just for these words? Nothing else?" Lao Zhu looked surprised and asked unwillingly.
Other things? None.
Han Du looked at Lao Zhu and blinked, not understanding what he meant. Don't I know what's going on with me?
Han Du was very sure that this was the purpose of coming to Lao Zhu today, and there was really nothing else.
But he couldn't talk to the old man so straightforwardly, so Han Du said: "I am stupid, please let the emperor speak clearly."
Lao Zhu had no choice but to say directly: "Have you forgotten that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance came to you?"
It turned out to be this, but what’s there to say? Isn’t everything over?
Han Du didn't understand what Lao Zhu meant, so he could only reply honestly: "Of course I haven't forgotten it."
After saying this, Han Du remained silent and said nothing further.
That's it? Lao Zhu looked at Han Du and his eyes were even more wrong. It shouldn't be. Could it be that this kid doesn't understand the power of this?
"Your father, didn't he tell you about the relationship between this?" Lao Zhu asked in a deep voice.
Han Du explained calmly, "Back to the emperor, my father mentioned it to me, but I didn't take it to heart."
"Why?" Lao Zhu continued to ask.
Han Du did not speak immediately, but glanced around with his eyes.
Lao Zhu immediately understood Han Du's intention and waved the people around him to retreat.
"Okay, now you can say it."
Han Du bowed to Lao Zhu and then said: "Yes, Your Majesty. There are two reasons why I didn't take it to heart. First, I am humble and humble. Even if I care about this kind of thing, I can't change anything. I might as well
Thinking about how to complete the emperor's explanation is better. The second thing is that although I am isolated by the civil servants, this may not be a bad thing for me."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu hugged his hands together and leaned back slightly on the soft cushions of the dragon chair.
"Do you know what it means to be isolated? It means that in the future, if you don't have my help, even if you have made a meritorious service, you will still be blocked by them collectively. After Bao Chao files the case, whether you want someone or not
Things will never be as easy as before."
Lao Zhu stared at Han Du with deep eyes, and almost said, "Why don't you come over and hug your thighs quickly, what are you waiting for?"
However, Han Du would not hug this thick thigh today.
Why?
Because Han Du was actually a little afraid of Lao Zhu from beginning to end.
The emperor's palace of Lao Zhu is too deep and too terrifying, and he is also the kind of moody person who "drinks with you from a golden cup, but does not spare anyone with a bare sword." In history, Lao Zhu even killed his brothers, living and dead, without even a trace of it.
hesitantly.
What's more, Han Du? How can he think that he can be an exception?
Therefore, Han Du has always maintained enough respect for Lao Zhu, just because he is afraid that if he is a little rude, it will lead to disaster. In fact, if Han Du does not want to commit crimes and meritorious services, he simply does not want to be an official.
.With his methods, in this world, it is not a problem to make oneself more comfortable, let alone being rich casually.
Therefore, facing the olive branch offered by Lao Zhu, Han Du did not step forward to accept it.
"I know that I work hard, but I haven't thought about whether I will achieve merit or not, and I don't want to think about it." Han Du expressed his thoughts directly.
Lao Zhu looked unhappy, "Do you really think so?"
"That's what I thought." Han Du nodded without any hesitation.
Bang! Lao Zhu slapped his palm on the armrest. "Confused! Do you think that if you give in, this matter will be over? If you take a step back, others will advance a foot. If you step back a foot, others will advance a foot. Put out the fire with your salary.
, endlessly, until you have no way out."
"Your Majesty thinks highly of them," Han Du shook his head and sighed, "With the Emperor watching, they don't have any means to target me. They are just trying to embarrass me with money and things. When it comes to money, I
I’m really not afraid. It’s not that I am arrogant. When it comes to other abilities, I may think that I am not as good as them, but when it comes to the means of making money. Haha, they are far behind me.”
After listening to Han Du's words, Lao Zhu thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. As for Han Du saying that he could make money, Lao Zhu also agreed. After all, if he didn't know enough about money, it would be impossible for him to be familiar with the treasures.
That level of understanding.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu felt depressed and waved his hand to send Han Du away, "Get out!"
Seeing Han Du standing there hesitant to speak, Lao Zhu took a look and said, "If you don't leave, what else do you want to do?"
"I was stopped by the emperor and suddenly remembered something." Han Du said embarrassedly.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I want to print some patterns on the treasure banknotes. I wonder if I can print the emperor's portrait on it?"
