This situation is even more terrifying in the court.
Even if Lao Zhu doesn't care whether you eat or not, as an official, if you don't eat, you will definitely feel worried in your heart.
Moreover, even if you think you are doing the right thing, you can have nothing to fear. Then your opponents, whether it is out of the mentality of not making others feel better when they suffer a loss, or out of the idea of taking your place. They will definitely try their best to make the emperor notice you, and even stir up trouble in the emperor's ears to achieve their goal.
The same goes for wealthy businessmen.
Only by enduring the same hardship can we enjoy the same happiness.
In order to get closer to the officials, wealthy businessmen would eat the food without hesitation with a smile, not to mention that the food itself was extremely delicious, even if it was extremely bitter. After eating, he would even take the initiative to praise what the benefits of eating this food are.
Han Du's words suddenly enlightened Tang He and Li Wenzhong.
Tang He patted his chest and assured the two of them, "I will take care of the matter of begging the emperor. Wen Zhong, I will leave the matter of the restaurant to you."
Seeing that Tang He was about to take action, Han Du said, "There is no need to rush this matter. Sometimes it is better to let the news spread for a while."
"Oh, that makes sense." Tang He nodded, "Then I will slowly find a suitable time and go to the palace to mention it to the emperor." At the same time, we must also negotiate with the emperor about the share. This is the most important thing.
Since the matter is not urgent, Han Du does not need to continue to pay attention. He announced his crime to Xinguo and left.
...
After the episode, Handu went to the Bureau of Printing and Printing to try to make ink.
However, making ink was still full of ups and downs as always. There was no progress at all for several days in a row, which made Han Du start to doubt himself.
Where is my protagonist’s halo? Where are my traveler benefits? Where is my foresight...
"grown ups!"
A scream shocked Han Du back to his senses from his depressed mood.
Han Du only saw a craftsman running towards him with a small copper basin in his hand and a look of surprise on his face.
"Sir, do you think this ink is suitable for use?"
At this time, Han Du turned his attention to the ink in the copper basin.
With just one glance, Han Du's pupils instantly dilated.
This ink!
It is different from the previous water-like kind, and also different from the dregs like ink pad.
This ink has a smooth texture like silk, and the smooth surface is shimmering, exactly like the ink in Handu Memory.
"Quick, give it a try." Han Du quickly called to other craftsmen.
The craftsmen around him seemed to be waking up from a dream. Those holding paper took paper, and those holding seals took seals.
Han Du looked at the banknotes, pressed down moderately, and then quickly lifted them up.
He threw the seal on the table and picked up the paper carefully. Seeing the small but coherent and clear lines on it, Han Du suddenly burst into loud laughter.
At this time, other craftsmen still don’t know that this is a success? As Han Du shouted and laughed happily, the hard work over the past few days finally paid off. How could it not be exciting?
Han Du smiled, pulled the craftsman over, and asked: "Okay, okay. What's your name?"
The craftsman was also extremely excited and quickly replied: "Sir, little Guo Liang."
"Guo Liang? What a good name, well done." Han Du praised with a smile. Then he asked Guo Liang, "How did you make it?"
Guo Liang answered all questions and immediately replied: "The little one is..."
Han Du suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to stop Guo Liang's words, looked up at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked very hard these days. Today's ink printing is successful. It is a happy and congratulatory day. My officer We have decided that we will have enough food and wine today, let’s all eat with ease.”
"oh!!!"
"Thank you, sir."
"My lord is mighty!"
Looking at the angry craftsmen, Han Du waved his hand to silence them.
Then, he continued with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these days. I have decided to reward each person with five guan. Let's go and receive the reward now."
"Ouch~"
The craftsmen were even more excited to receive reward money, and one by one they hurriedly resigned and went to collect the money.
After everyone left, Han Ducai said to Guo Liang: "Now how did you make this ink? Tell me exactly how you made this ink. Don't miss a word."
Guo Liang nodded and told Han Du.
Han Du listened carefully and waited for Guo Liang to finish speaking, making sure that he had written it down completely. Then he told Guo Liang: "From now on, unless there is an order from me, you must not leak a word of these words."
Guo Liang glanced at Han Du in surprise. Seeing that Han Du was even serious in what he said, he took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and replied, "I understand, little one."
Han Du nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I hope you really understand. You must remember that this matter is not trivial. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger."
After hearing Han Du's words, Guo Liang felt the seriousness of the matter and turned pale. He asked in fear: "Sir, what if the little one is kidnapped?"
Han Du looked at Guo Liang calmly and said: "Then you put everything on my head and say that I deliberately gave you the prepared ink and asked you to bring it out in front of everyone. .”
The purpose of saying this was to make the enemy think that Han Du was deliberately turning his attention to this ordinary craftsman for his own safety. The credibility is still relatively high. If you are lucky, Guo Liang can really escape through this.
Guo Liang felt relieved and his expression calmed down a bit. Gritting his teeth, he said decisively: "Originally, the adults gave the prepared ink to the children. The children don't know anything."
Han Du showed a teachable look.
"You have made merit in making ink, go to Xiong Shi to receive the reward of fifty guan." After Han Du finished his instructions, he finally came up with the reward for Guo Liang.
Unexpectedly, facing the huge sum of fifty pounds, Guo Liang was not happy at all, but instead showed a sad look. "Sir, it's better not to take the little one."
Guo Liang was naturally reluctant to part with fifty guan of money, but compared to his life, he still felt it was better not to take it.
Han Du tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Just now, I was praising you for being smart in my heart. Why are you so clueless in the blink of an eye? Only when you have to do a complete show will others believe you. Take it, feel free to be bold. Take it. I assure you that the more you take it, the more others will believe your words and the safer you will be."
Guo Liang was enlightened by Han Du and felt that what Master Han said was very reasonable, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart.
