Han De was silent after hearing this.
Since Han Du had the emperor's mandate, it was hard for him to say anything.
Seeing that his father's expression softened, Han Du persuaded him while the iron was hot: "Besides, the child has to go to court in the morning, so it should be more convenient to live in the inner city to go to court."
After thinking about it, I felt that what Han Du said made sense. It was reasonable for Han Du to covet the prosperity of the inner city when he was still young. He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but it's always inconvenient for you to live alone. Let's take Qing Lian with us. I can help you cook and take care of your daily life."
Take that girl Qinglian over?
Han Du was immediately dumbfounded.
If Han Du really lived in the inner city just for the convenience of going to the morning court as he said to his father, then he would take Qing Lian there without his having to say anything.
After all, Han Du had long been envious and jealous of the life of strutting around the city with a little maid whenever he had nothing to do. If he had the chance, he would definitely not let go of the opportunity to experience it.
But now Han Du is going to face an unknown danger and takes Qing Lian there. If there is an accident, wouldn't it harm her?
Seeing Han Du's hesitation, Han De gave him a strange look, "What?"
Seeing that his father seemed a little suspicious, Han Du quickly replied: "It's nothing, I just don't know what Qing Lian is thinking. Why don't you ask her first before the child comes down?"
That's fine.
Hande thought for a moment and nodded. Although Qinglian came to the Han family to be a maid, she was only a servant after all, not a slave. It would be nice to listen to her thoughts on such a thing.
Now that he had made an agreement with his father, Han Du returned to his room.
Find Qing Lian.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?" Qinglian's voice was gentle, like a warm breeze.
Han Du nodded and explained to her: "I have something to do and need to move to the inner city. Originally, I was planning to move there alone, but you also know that Dad is worried about me being outside alone... ....”
"Wherever the young master goes, I will go." Before Han Du could finish speaking, Qing Lian suddenly expressed her determination to be with Han Du.
This made Han Du, who was about to persuade Qing Lian, choke in his throat.
After a pause, Han Du explained with a smile: "Maybe you didn't hear clearly. Although the inner city of Qinglian is prosperous, there are also many bad people. If you follow, you may be hurt, and if it's serious, you may lose your life. If you are worried, you should stay at home."
Han Du changed his story and told Qing Lian in disguise that it would be dangerous to follow him. The reason why I didn't tell her directly was because I was worried that she would leak the news to my father's ears. When the time comes, I'm afraid Dad won't let Han Du move out.
Even if they are moving to the inner city, they will move as a family. Han De has already put his family in desperate situation once. If Han Du hadn't seized the chance of survival, he would have regretted it long ago. Therefore, he will never let Han Du face danger alone again.
"Master, I'm not afraid." Qinglian's eyes were firm.
Han Du smiled bitterly when he heard this.
This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. You are a newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers. You do not know the secret methods of those people. I'm scared of you, young master. How could you not be scared?
If I weren't afraid, I would stay at home.
Sighing helplessly, Han Du advised: "If you want to live in the inner city, you can live there again after the young master's matter is over. Just stay at home now and help me take care of my parents and my sister. obedient."
After hearing this, Qinglian lowered her head and said nothing in a depressed tone.
In this way, Han Du finally persuaded Qing Lian.
Next, Han Du was very busy, thinking about how to decorate the shop and how to design various mirrors beautifully.
Thinking of this, Han Du suddenly remembered that he had promised Lan Yu's wife to give her a dressing mirror.
Without further ado, Han Du came to the banknote bureau and summoned Mr. Huang and Heizi.
Due to the current need to produce glass in large quantities, Handu left all the work of sand cleaning and selection to craftsmen, except for the proportion of soda ash and thenardite.
After listening to Han Du's instructions, the two nodded and agreed.
Not long after the two left, Xiong Shi opened the door and came in.
"Sir, you, the chief officer, have now become a rare guest of the Baochao Lisu Department. It is rare for even the lower officials to meet you."
Han Du smiled awkwardly. Regardless of Xiong Shi's jokes, he was somewhat incompetent as a chief officer. How long has it been since this happened? I've only been to the banknote bureau once.
He quickly changed the subject and asked: "How is the printing of the treasure banknotes? Are there any problems? How many have been printed?"
"Don't worry, sir. The Banknote Printing Bureau is printing treasure banknotes all the time. So far, nearly 400,000 banknotes have been printed." Xiong Shi briefly reported to Handu.
Originally, the printing of treasure banknotes was not so fast. In the past, treasure banknotes were printed with ink, and after printing, they had to go through a series of processes such as air-drying and inspection. Check whether the banknotes are printed clearly and whether they are contaminated by ink. Those that are not printed clearly or are stained by ink need to be picked out and discarded. Only those that are clean and have clear lines can be sent to the treasure bank for storage. When it needs to be distributed, the bank will have a clear record of it and issue it out.
In the past, engravings were made of wooden boards, and the ink printing effect was very poor. Therefore, almost half of the treasure banknotes printed are unqualified and need to be invalidated. Therefore, the printing speed of treasure banknotes is not very fast.
But it's different now. The paper quality is excellent, and the printed ink is also quick-drying. The printed banknotes do not require any complicated processes at all, they can be cut neatly, which greatly improves the efficiency of printing banknotes.
"Just as per your request, we only print treasure banknotes of one guan or less. If we print large amounts of treasure banknotes such as five guan, ten guan, fifty guan, or even one hundred guan, then even millions of guan will not be printed. It’s printed.” Xiong Shi said with a smile.
It was an honor for him to be able to print treasure banknotes at such a fast speed and with such good quality.
Han Du shook his head inwardly. It was not that large-denomination treasure banknotes could not be printed, but that they could only be printed in smaller quantities. The purpose of printing treasure banknotes in Korea is to facilitate transactions between people, treating the treasure banknotes as a kind of currency, rather than always thinking about making money like Lao Zhu.
Of course, Han Du can also make money by issuing treasure notes, but this is incidental, not the main purpose.
The main purpose is to facilitate transactions between people.
Since it is a transaction between ordinary people, there is almost no use for large amounts of treasure money. It is already good if the people can use a hundred coins, five hundred coins, or such treasure banknotes.
