The issue of Du Ruhui's official appointment has been properly resolved, and Du He can no longer rely on the Lai Kingdom government.
He is now the chief of the Jingzhao Prefecture and is in charge of the commercial taxation and public security of the entire Jingzhao Prefecture.
Early in the morning, Du He arrived at Jingzhao Mansion Office.
Liu Wentong came out to greet him personally and said happily: "Consort, you are finally here. If you don't come again, there will be trouble in the Chang'an Taxation Bureau and the city management team."
Du He was stunned and asked curiously: "Mr. Liu, don't you think that the director of the Chang'an Taxation Bureau is my disciple Dai Jinyun, and the captain of the Guancheng Brigade is Qin Huaiyu, Mr. Qin, who is also my brother-in-law.
With the two of them here, how can the tax bureau and the city management brigade cause trouble?"
Liu Wentong said in a dumbfounded voice: "I'm afraid you don't know that there is a man under me named Zhang Da. He is the secretary of Jingzhao Mansion and joins the army. Speaking of which, he is also your direct boss. You didn't come here."
During this period, he was in charge of the tax bureau and the city management brigade. Zhang Da was too arrogant and gesticulating, and he did not get along well with Mr. Dai and Mr. Qin."
When Du He heard this, he quickly understood.
How dare a small clerk join the army to get involved in the tax bureau and the city management brigade?
Absolutely impossible!
That proves that someone in the DPRK wants to interfere with the tax bureau and the city management brigade.
Zhang Da is just cannon fodder.
The City Guan brigade is in charge of the public security of the twenty-two counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, including all criminal, trial and other responsibilities. It has great power.
The Taxation Bureau is responsible for collecting commercial taxes within the entire Jingzhao Prefecture, especially in Chang'an City and Hu County, where the commercial taxes are very considerable.
Someone can't sit still!
Du He's heart was moved and he asked: "What is the origin of this Zhangda?"
Liu Wentong shook his head: "This person is just a scholar, very ordinary."
Du He knew that the person who took action this time was very hidden and would never show up easily.
He secretly wrote down the name.
Liu Wentong said again: "Consort, let me introduce you to meet your colleagues first."
Then, he personally took Du He around to various departments in Jingzhao Mansion. Everywhere he went, he enthusiastically introduced Du He to everyone.
After walking around, Du He discovered the problem.
The entire Jingzhao Mansion was not very interested in him as a newly arrived Sihu joining the army, which was in sharp contrast to Liu Wentong's enthusiasm.
After meeting everyone, Liu Wentong couldn't help but look back. He turned around, glanced at Du He, and said, "Consort, this matter..."
Du He waved his hand and sneered: "I understand their thoughts. Now, I am just a civilian prince-in-law, serving as a small chief minister and joining the army. My father is about to retire. In the eyes of many people, I may only be able to do this for the rest of my life.
If I become a clerk and join the army, I will naturally not look good on me."
People in the Tang Dynasty were already so realistic.
Liu Wentong said disdainfully: "My consort, a sparrow knows the ambition of a swan. How could a bunch of villains know that our consort will become a great success in the future?"
Du He turned his head, looked at Liu Wentong, and asked with a smile: "Master Liu, do you think that I will become famous one day?"
Liu Wentong said without hesitation: "I have never doubted it."
Du He smiled and stopped talking.
He came to the court hall where the recorder was sitting, but he learned that Sihu had just gone out.
out?
Du He sneered in his heart.
Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid he just doesn't want to see me on purpose.
He then returned to the court hall where his Sihu joined the army, read a book, had lunch at the Jingzhao Mansion Office, went to see Liu Wentong for a cup of tea and boasted, and when the time came, he returned to the Laiguo Duke's Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the house, Zhang Jian took Wang Erniu to the backyard.
Wang Erniu is the shopkeeper of Datang Study.
Wang Erniu met Du He, took out something wrapped in silk, handed it to Du He respectfully, and said: "Master, as you ordered, I have printed the book, please have a look."
Du He took it and opened it. It was a thin booklet.
On the cover, there are only a few large characters: Political experience.
Du He looked through it, and the first article was Fang Xuanling's "The Theory of Political Morality".
This pamphlet is exactly what Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng wrote when they were imprisoned in Laiguo Palace and became tuberculosis. They had no choice but to write articles in exchange for elixirs.
The two wrote a total of thirty-six articles.
Twenty chapters by Fang Xuanling.
Sixteen chapters of Wei Zheng.
The style is naturally parallel prose, and the articles are short. Therefore, thirty-six articles are printed together and only form a thin booklet.
The more Du He looked, the deeper his frown deepened.
Wang Erniu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked: "Master, is there any mistake?"
Du He put down the booklet and shook his head: "There are no mistakes or omissions, but you didn't do what I asked."
"ah?"
Du He looked at Wang Erniu's honest look and explained: "What I want to create is a best-selling book. The design must be novel, unique, and eye-catching. One glance at it will make people want to buy a box and put it away." The kind at home...then gave rise to the reputation of Datang Study, which has been in decline for too long."
Datang Study was famous all over the world for its movable type printing technology and a book called "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
But after Du He let it go, under the leadership of Wang Erniu, it became more and more a printing house.
This is not the study Du He wanted.
Wang Erniu became more and more confused the more he listened.
Finally, he looked at Du He eagerly.
When Du He saw this, he sighed and said, "In that case, this time, let me be the one to take charge of it myself, and I will take care of you with my pen and ink!"
King Newton was filled with joy.
…
evening.
It's getting dark.
A carriage arrived at the gate of Wei Mansion.
A scholar claimed to be from Datang Study and came to give money.
A total of three hundred strings.
This is no small amount of money.
The housekeeper did not dare to make the decision and hurriedly went to report to Wei Zheng.
"Sir, there is a guy at the door who claims to be from Datang Study. He says he is sending me royalties, a total of three hundred guan..."
Wei Zheng was stunned.
Send money?
He suddenly stood up and asked, "Call him and ask."
The steward said: "He left the money and left."
Ordinarily, it is a good thing if someone gives you money for free.
But Wei Zheng always felt that something was wrong and felt uneasy.
He paced back and forth and said to himself: "I have no contact with Datang Study House, so there is no reason to give me money for free. Du He... it must be Du He... it must be Du He, but ...Why did Du He do this..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The housekeeper added: "By the way, sir, the man said that he was still busy going to the house to deliver money."
Fangfu.
That was the residence of Fang Xuanling, the left prime minister of the dynasty.
Wei Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and pay your respects to Fangfu. I will entertain Mr. Fang tonight at Zuixian Tower."
The housekeeper looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.
My master has always been stingy, and since he is not well-off, he rarely entertains guests a few times a year. Why is he spending so much money today?
