Du He even doubted whether he had opened his mouth before.
A moment ago, he was in the Treasury Department saying that Li Er had given him a special task.
Who knew, less than half an hour later, this special mission would come.
He really wanted to give himself a mouthful.
Looking at Li Er's expectant eyes, Du He felt that if he refused directly, he would be very inhumane.
So he said: "Father, I wonder if you have ever heard that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice."
"Um?"
"My son was in the Treasury Department just now. I heard that the people in the imperial court are very tired of war. They haven't allocated any money to the Treasury Department for several years," Du He said.
"well……"
Li Er sighed.
How could he not know about this?
However, many times, the national treasury was tight, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty did not agree to invest money in the creation of weapons. Even if he was the emperor, he could not convince so many people.
Li Er thought for a while and said, "I will send someone to send a message to Dai Qing's family and ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to allocate a sum of money to the Ministry of Finance every year. What do you think of 100,000 yuan?"
Du He shook his head: "One hundred thousand guan is far from enough! Father, when I developed the cannon myself, I spent at least 200,000 guan."
"Then... the development of this weapon costs money... Why don't you use it from my inner treasury? Anyway, I have a sum of money in your Dream Group. You can use it at will." Li Er was very generous and made a big deal.
One wave.
Du He's eyes lit up, "My son, thank you very much, Father."
Li Er looked at Du He expectantly, "He'er, I hope you won't disappoint your father. Remember not to be too public about this matter. When the ministers of the DPRK know about it, they will come to me to advise you."
"My son understands!"
Du He did not leave directly.
He looked at Li Er and suddenly said: "Father, I have one more thing to do."
"Um?"
Du He said worriedly: "Father, do you still remember the memorial I gave you before? Recently, Tiandi Bank and the emperor have been in full swing. I am worried that the six major drawbacks that I had previously guessed will gradually be exposed. By then, it will be painful.
But the people of the world."
Li Er stared at Du He's eyes seriously, "He'er, tell me honestly, did you suppress the common currency because of the emergence of the emperor's coin, so did you do this on purpose?"
Du He shook his head and said with a serious look: "No, my father, Wudi Bank was created by my son, and the people's coin was also made by my son. Others don't know the secrets, but my son knows it very well. It's exactly
Because of this, I am extremely worried..."
"I understand! You go down first."
"yes!"
…
Not much time.
Du He appeared again in Kubu.
Manager Cao Tian looked curious: "Oh, sir, why are you back again?"
Du He said: "The mission has changed. Please gather everyone together now. I have something important to announce."
Cao Tian quickly summoned eight people.
Du He looked at the eight people and said: "I came to the Treasury Department not to mess around, let alone to make soy sauce. I am in the Treasury Department, so I will naturally do something good. Next, the Treasury Department will become
You are so busy that you even have to work day and night, and you can't even go home for ten days and a half... Now, I will give you a chance. If you don't want to stay, I will go to Mr. Hou and place him there.
For other departments, you have a choice of time to burn incense."
After a stick of incense.
Three people did not want to stay.
Du He immediately asked Cao Tian to take these three people to report to Hou Junji.
Looking at the remaining five people, Du He asked: "Tell me, why are you willing to stay?"
Cao Tian said: "Sir, the five of us have all retired from the army. In our lives, we can do nothing but fight. We thought that when we came to the Treasury, we could do something for our brothers in the army.
I have never imagined that I can do something for the country. We are tired of living up and down every day. If your Excellency can revive the Ministry of Finance, we are willing to follow you to the death."
Others also nodded.
Du He stood up and said: "Okay, since you are willing to stay, I won't hide it anymore. From today on, the Treasury Department will be responsible for building various new weapons. I will spend one year to make them
The Treasury Department has become famous, do you have confidence?"
No one answered.
Cao Tian asked in a low voice: "Sir, the main reason is that I have no money!"
Du He waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about money... Now, the task I give you is to find all the craftsmen who left the Ordnance Department. Remember, these people must not only be highly skilled, but also
You must have a clean family background and be able to endure hardships and stand hard work, do you understand? Cao Tian, I will leave this matter to you. I will give you a thousand dollars of funding. Within half a month, I will need at least thirty skilled craftsmen who can
Can you do it?”
A thousand strings?
Cao Tian's eyes widened.
He had never seen so much money since he came to the Treasury.
"Yes, sir, if it can't be completed, I'll come and see you!" Cao Tian said excitedly.
The eyes of several other people also shone brightly.
It was as if I saw light in the darkness.
…
Royal study room.
Changsun Wuji, Chen Shuda, and Li Daozong walked in.
After a few people greeted each other, they sat down at Li Er's signal.
Li Er said: "My dear friends, I have called you here so late, but there is an urgent matter. Today, I met with Du He, and Du He mentioned the six major drawbacks of Tiandi Bank and Emperor's Coin that he had predicted. I have just
I looked at the memorial again and felt that Du He was not being alarmist, so I came here to give you a warning. I know that the emperor's coins have been issued for tens of millions. Once something goes wrong, the impact will be
Too big...I want to hear your opinions?"
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I guessed that Du He had bewitched the emperor's heart. I said in the court that day that the reason why Du He did this was entirely because the emperor's coins were more popular than the common people's coins. If this is the case,
The emperor's coins have six major disadvantages, so do the common people's coins also have six disadvantages? Du He is just an alarmist."
Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This emperor's coin was jointly issued by our six major families. With the best talents in the world gathered in the Tiandi Bank, nothing will happen at all."
Li Daozong said: "Your Majesty, didn't Du He say that something would happen to the Emperor's Coin in the near future? Now, several months have passed, but there has been no movement. Facts have proved that his words are completely baseless and are purely for the purpose of attacking.
revenge."
Li Er thought for a while, sighed in his heart, and waved his hand: "In that case, I won't care about this matter. You guys...it's not a bad thing to be cautious."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please believe me! Even if something happens, the six major families will deal with it as soon as possible."
After saying that, a few people left.
After walking out of the palace, Changsun Wuji, Chen Shuda, and Li Daozong gathered together, not taking Li Er's warning to heart at all.
Changsun Wuji said: "It turns out that Du He was already panicked. He had nothing to do, so he came up with this dirty trick of going to complain in front of His Majesty."
