After hearing this, Han Du couldn't help but be surprised. Even though he was talented, he was still too young. How could he be appointed as a minister?
After Han Du repeatedly observed Lao Zhu and made sure that he didn't want to put himself on the fire, he said: "No."
"You really don't want to?" Lao Zhu asked.
"Seriously." Han Du said decisively.
Doubts flashed across Lao Zhu's face and he asked: "Why is this? Since ancient times, who doesn't want to make contributions and make a glorious family name? Don't you?"
Han Du smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the credit in this world is just like money, it is endless. If I can receive the Emperor's grace, live in Jing Haibo, and be hereditary, I am already satisfied.
"
"Earl, are you satisfied? It's impossible." Lao Zhu grinned and said with a smile: "Above the earl, there are marquis and duke? Don't you want to go further and leave a legacy for future generations?
Blissful shade."
Han Du shook his head and smiled, and said: "My father didn't leave me any blessings. If I can leave them a count, I have already done them a favor. If they want more, let them do it themselves."
Let’s run.”
"Your attitude is a bit like the person you mentioned." Lao Zhu pointed at Han Du.
Han Du made a move to beg for mercy and said lazily: "Your Majesty, please spare me. I don't dare to be compared with that kind of person. I can't leave only five thousand taels to future generations like him.
Although I am not talented, I still have this little bit of confidence."
When it comes to making money, even Lao Zhu had to be convinced by Han Du. Anyway, before Han Du took charge of the Jiaofang Division, the officials there were more incompetent than the last, causing the Jiaofang Division to suffer losses year after year, to the point where even the singers there could not afford to eat.
As a result, the Jiaofang Division fell into the hands of Han Du, and in a blink of an eye it became the number one gold-selling cave in the capital. Every day, the money was made to the point where even Lao Zhu would be jealous.
Lao Zhu laughed for a moment and then asked seriously: "Since you don't want to be an official, let me ask you, what do you want to do? You are still so young, you can't just hang around all day."
When Han Du heard this, his heart tightened. On the surface, Lao Zhu was caring about him and didn't want him to just hang around and be wasted. But Han Du understood why Lao Zhu was worried about him hanging around? He was worried about himself since he
If you don’t want to be an official, then do you have any other ideas?
After all, many emperors have the attitude of 'if they can't be used by me, they will be killed by me'. Lao Zhu is especially suspicious at this point. Don't look at Han Du's engagement with Princess Anqing now, even if
It was Han Du who became the consort, and Lao Zhu would wield the butcher's knife if necessary.
He knew that if he didn't have a good reason, he might not be able to pass Lao Zhu's test. Han Du smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I actually prefer to be a teacher than to be an official."
Teaching is to cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty. In this culture where teachers are like fathers, teachers have a very high status. Even the imperial court and even Lao Zhu cannot help but habitually respect teachers.
"Are you going to teach?" Lao Zhu hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "It would be too much of a gift. Using your talents and knowledge to teach ignorant children is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."
For most scholars, the best choice for scholars is to become an official by acquiring literary and martial arts, goods, and becoming an emperor. Teaching is indeed not a good choice. Moreover, Han Du is different from ordinary officials, so even Lao Zhu was reluctant to part with it.
When Han Du saw that Lao Zhu thought he would go to the countryside and hide under a big tree to teach children how to speak, he shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I don't want to be a teacher like that. I want to build a comprehensive school."
The academy is the best. It’s right inside the capital. I wonder if the emperor can grant me a place?”
"You want to build an academy?" Lao Zhu suddenly raised his voice, and there was only one voice echoing in his heart, 'Does this kid want to start a sect?'
Later, Lao Zhu couldn't help but frowned and said hesitantly: "But there is already an Imperial College in the capital. If you build an academy again, I'm afraid." Lao Zhu thought that Han Du wanted to compete with the Imperial College for students, so naturally he was a little reluctant
.
The Imperial College was a place established by Lao Zhu himself to cultivate talents. If there were tit-for-tat confrontation between the academy and the Imperial College in the future, this would not be what Lao Zhu wanted to see.
Han Du shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty, the academy built by me will not teach the Four Books and Five Classics. Didn't I say that? There are two ways to continue the Ming Dynasty. In addition to developing overseas resources, improving the corresponding skills can also
To achieve the goal. Therefore, I want to build an academy specifically to research and develop various skills."
Han Du has no interest in teaching the Four Books and Five Classics. Studying science and technology is the way to go.
"In that case," Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "That's fine."
Then he said grandly: "Since you have this idea, let me go back and think about it to see which piece of land is suitable. As for the construction, it is up to you. Just in time, I want to see what you are talking about.
What is the method of cement construction?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Du bowed with satisfaction.
Han Du is sincerely grateful to Lao Zhu for being able to get rid of the misery of being an official and not getting up before the rooster crows. As for becoming a teacher, it is a piece of cake for Han Du. And the biggest advantage of being a teacher is that,
You can sleep as long as you want in the morning. After all, no student dares to disturb your husband's clear dream.
Lao Zhu also left with a satisfied mood, and even Zhu Biao was not taken away.
Zhu Biao is now exempted from the privilege of supervising the country, and now he is just a prince doing nothing all day long.
After his father left, Zhu Biao frowned and asked Han Du, "How come I haven't heard you mention this matter of overseas development?"
Han Du was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually and said, "No? Maybe I forgot about it, but hasn't your Highness heard of it now?" Han Du laughed and wanted to get over.
But Zhu Biao was not easy to fool. He stared at Han Du closely and asked, "This overseas land is not unclaimed. If the imperial court develops it, will it conflict with the local people?"
Conflict? How could there not be conflict? This is colonization, not playing house. Without the pressure of bloody terror, how can we make the natives surrender?
Zhu Biao was still too kind to ask such a question. Lao Zhu didn't ask because he knew clearly that this was inevitable. After hearing this, Han Du couldn't help being surprised. Even if he was talented,
But after all, he is too young, how can he be appointed as a minister?
After Han Du repeatedly observed Lao Zhu and made sure that he didn't want to put himself on the fire, he said: "No."
