Li Er planned to let Du He be the host and guest doctor.
But there was one person present who couldn't sit still.
That is Chen Shuda.
Previously, because Du He served as the chief and guest clerk, the chief and guest clerk was equivalent to being listed out of the etiquette department, and the etiquette department couldn't get involved at all.
Now, once Du He becomes the host and guest clerk, it will be even more extraordinary.
Because the host and guest secretary Yuan Wailang is the top leader of the four departments under the Ministry of Rites, and has an influence on the entire Ministry of Rites.
Once the scourge Du He takes hold in the Ministry of Rites, I am afraid that life will be difficult for me as the Minister of Rites.
So he quickly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Du He deserves to be rewarded for his great contribution. It is really unfair to let him serve as the guest secretary of this small etiquette department. For such an outstanding young talent like him,
You should go to a place where you have the courage to have a good experience, so that you can contribute to our Tang Dynasty in the future. It just so happens that the Ministry of War is still short of a doctor from the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department is in charge of the storage and production of the world's weapons. It has a heavy responsibility. It just so happens that Du
He has the ability of a great craftsman, so it would be perfect for him to serve as a doctor in the Treasury..."
Chen Shuda's proposal was approved by many ministers.
Although the doctor of the Ministry of Finance is also a doctor and is in charge of the world's arsenal in name, in fact, it is useless. He wants money but no money, and he wants people but no one. It is a useless position. It has always been used by the imperial court to accommodate the elderly and infirm.
Of the aging old minister.
Li Er heard this and asked: "Du He, are you willing to go to the Ministry of War and serve as a doctor in the Ministry of Finance?"
Du He thought for a while and said: "Father, I am willing, but I have a request."
"explain!"
"While I was serving as the chief and guest secretary, I discovered that there was an official in the chief and guest department named Zhu Ping. He was young, but he was very knowledgeable and handled all matters large and small appropriately. I would like to recommend Zhu Ping as the chief and guest chief, please.
Father, I wish you everything." Du He said.
Li Er asked: "Who is this Zhu Ping?"
Du He said: "Report to my father, Zhu Ping is the first batch of graduates after the opening of Banshan College. During his schooling, this person served as a director of the student union, and his ability is extraordinary. If my father does not believe it, he can ask the officials
Send someone to the host and guest office to investigate."
Li Er nodded: "Okay, I'm sure. The Ministry of Officials will send someone to the Host and Guest Department to examine Zhu Ping carefully. If Zhu Ping is talented, then let him be the Foreign Minister of the Host and Guest Department."
Wei Chigong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, hurriedly agreed.
Since then, Du He has become a real official of the imperial court. Although his position is a bit embarrassing, he is also a real member of the fourth rank.
…
A few days later.
Du He took office.
It was the first time he came to the Ministry of War. The large courtyard of the Ministry of War was not as luxurious as the Ministry of Rites, but it was much larger than the Ministry of Rites.
Hou Junji, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, personally took Du He to a remote small courtyard in the northwest corner of the compound, pointed at this place and said: "This is the Treasury Department, my dear nephew, don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside, the Treasury Department is not
What a useless thing, but an important position in the imperial court, in charge of the storage and manufacture of the world's weapons, etc., with great power... At the beginning, it was still very glorious."
"Back then..." Du He's eyes widened, "Master Hou, don't you mean to say that it is now in decline?"
Looking around, the courtyard was in a dilapidated state, and there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people who came to greet Du He.
I heard that there is an weapons department under the Ministry of Finance, but there is no one there now.
This look is really too miserable.
"Ahem..."
Hou Junji patted Du He on the shoulder and said, "My dear nephew, you are like a dragon or a phoenix among men. I believe you will shine even if you get to Kubu."
Du He: "..."
After Hou Junji left, Du He summoned the entire Kubu people.
There were eight people in total, five of whom were disabled and had retired from the army.
The other three are all old men in their fifties.
Du He thought about Chen Shuda several times.
The steward is one of the old men named Cao Tian.
Du He asked: "Guanshi Cao, what else does the Treasury Department need to do now?"
Cao Tian walked up and said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth, "Sir, in the past, the Treasury was in charge of the storage and production of weapons in the world. The weapons from various places had to be allocated from the Treasury. But since the peace of the world, all regions and all
The weapons of the army are made and stored by ourselves, and they no longer go through the Treasury Department. Before that, our Treasury Department also made weapons. Many world-famous weapons were made by the Treasury Department. But later, the ministers of the DPRK and China
Since we don’t like fighting, we will no longer allocate money to the Treasury. Our weapons department and craftsmen have all disappeared, and now many weapons are fed by rats.”
Du He is heartbroken.
This is equivalent to having many departments replacing the Treasury Department.
The Ministry of Finance supposedly should have canceled it.
Now he has become the leader of the Treasury.
You want money but you don’t have money, you want people and you don’t have anyone, what a waste of time.
Du He was very depressed and waved his hands to let everyone leave.
However, it only took him less than a stick of incense to figure it out.
Anyway, my two wives are pregnant, and I will have to stay with them at home for a while.
It's business, it's business.
Isn’t this Kubu doctor just a man of leisure?
Du He waved his hand, called Cao Tian over, and said: "I now order you as the doctor of the Treasury. From today on, you have the final say in the Treasury."
Cao Tian was stunned: "What about you, sir?"
Du He said mysteriously: "I have the emperor's mandate, and my father has specially entrusted me with a major task. However, this matter is top secret. No one except me wants to know... Next, I may disappear for a few months."
, even for a year, don’t panic, because I am on a special mission, do you understand?"
Cao Tian looked at Du He with admiration: "Yes, sir!"
Du He finished his explanation and walked out of the yard unsteadily.
As soon as he walked out, he saw a face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
It was Zhao Yang, the chamberlain.
When Zhao Yang saw Du He, he hurriedly said, "I have met the Prince Consort. Congratulations to the Prince Consort for his promotion."
Du He's face darkened: "You came here to see a joke, right?"
Zhao Yang was frightened and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the consort has misunderstood. His Majesty asked me to pick up the consort and take him to the Imperial Garden. Your Majesty has something to tell you."
"Lead the way!" Du He said.
…
In the Imperial Garden.
Du He stepped forward and bowed to Li Er.
Li Er waved his hand and asked Du He to stand over, and then asked: "He'er, do you know why I agreed to let you go to the Treasury!"
Du He shook his head: "I don't know."
Li Er smiled and said: "Do you think I don't know that the Treasury Department is just a decoration? But I have my own plans. I don't let you go to the Treasury Department just to enjoy the blessings. I want you to revitalize the Treasury Department.
, do you still remember what you said to me at the beginning? You said that if the weapons in the world were the same ten years ago and the same ten years later, then this country will be defeated when it faces a strong enemy. Yes
A kind of retrogression... I want the Treasury to concentrate on building various weapons, what do you think?"
Du He smacked his lips and asked, "Is this a special task assigned by the emperor to his son?"
