"If you want the treasure banknotes to not depreciate and the wealth in the hands of the people not to shrink, then you must match all the materials produced every year in the entire Ming Dynasty with the treasure banknotes. If there are more supplies, then more treasure banknotes will be issued. If there are less supplies, Then we must recover part of the treasure banknotes. Only in this way can the value of the treasure banknotes be maintained unchanged and the people's wealth be protected from being plundered."
"Therefore, it is necessary to calculate whether the treasure banknotes are issued and withdrawn by the treasure banknote collection department every year. Otherwise, blindly issuing treasure banknotes will only cause the treasure banknotes to become less and less valuable, and the treasure banknotes in the hands of the people will become more and more valuable. The more people come, the poorer they become.”
Han Du's words shocked Lao Zhu, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked: "You want to calculate the wealth of the world? How to calculate this?"
"Of course ordinary people can't do it, but Han Jingyun can do it." Ever since he learned about Han Jingyun's talent in mathematics, Han Du had already had this plan. It's just that the treasure banknotes are far from saturated, and Handu also wants to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Lao Zhu.
After all, apart from the Tang Dynasty, there were no opportunities for women to become officials in other dynasties.
"So, you want Han Jingyun to be in charge of the treasure banknote raising department?" Lao Zhu asked blankly.
Han Du smiled dryly, paused, and explained: "Your Majesty, now it's not a question of whether to let her take charge, but that she must take charge of the Treasure Note Lifting Department. Otherwise, there will definitely be big problems in the future. "
"This is the reason why I don't agree. After all, if she marries the prince, she will have to stay in the palace from now on. What will happen to Baochao?"
"You can't even take charge?" Lao Zhu asked in surprise.
Han Du sighed and shook his head, "No."
"Didn't you take good care of it before?" Lao Zhu frowned, thinking that Han Du was making excuses. It makes no sense that Han Du could control it before, but now he can't.
"In the past, the number of treasure notes was not large. Before it matched the wealth of the world, it could naturally be distributed at will." Han Du explained, "But it is different now. As the number of treasure notes becomes more and more in line with the world's wealth, If the wealth is close to that, it must be accurately calculated before the treasure money can be issued. A sword, held in the hands of an ignorant young boy, is no different from a fire stick. But if it is held in the hands of a peerless master, it is unparalleled in the world. artifact."
Han Jingyun is such a master.
"So, you are planning to let Han Jingyun take over the treasure bank transfer department?" Lao Zhu suddenly realized.
Han Du nodded.
"What makes you think that I will let a woman take over the treasure-raising department?" Lao Zhu frowned.
Han Du laughed twice and said nothing. It is naturally difficult for women to become officials, but Han Du is not without options. After all, the treasures and banknotes are closely related. If Han Du once again used the Ming Dynasty to negotiate terms with Lao Zhu, he might not agree.
Originally, Han Du wanted to find a suitable time to talk to Lao Zhu, but he never found it.
It's good now. Han Du doesn't have to worry about how to convince Lao Zhu. It just depends on what Lao Zhu chooses.
Lao Zhu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Wouldn't it be better for you to be in charge of the Baochao Lifting Department? You are her brother. If there is any need then, why don't you just ask her to help with the calculations? "
Han Du shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. There is too much wealth in the world, such as food, cloth, carriages, horses, cattle and sheep, etc., there are so many things and things are complicated. If you don't know everything from beginning to end, you will." It’s impossible to calculate.”
Lao Zhu had no choice but to look at Han Du hesitantly, "Is this why you don't agree?"
Han Du nodded. The reason for his disapproval was naturally that he didn't want the girl to be locked up in a deep palace for her whole life. Since there was a valid reason for Lao Zhu's approval, Han Du naturally gave up.
"I'm going to take a long-term approach to this matter and step back." Lao Zhu finally let Han Du go and let him go.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly became anxious, "Father, my son, Chen and Han Jingyun are in love with each other. I beg your father to make it happen." After saying this, he knelt down heavily in front of Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu sighed, "It's not that I can't help you. Han Jingyun is indeed extremely intelligent and very comparable to others. Not only do you like it, your mother and I also agree with you. But you also heard Han Du's words. The treasure money is related to I have to be cautious about the destiny of the Ming Dynasty. I hope you can understand."
Lao Zhu stared at Zhu Biao closely. What he just said had another meaning, that is, which one is more important, the country, the country, or the love in his heart?
Seeing that Zhu Biao had a sad look on his face but gritted his teeth in silence for a long time, a look of satisfaction flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes. Not speaking is Zhu Biao's best answer. Not speaking means that in Zhu Biao's heart, the country and the country are still more important than the true love in his heart.
And this is what Lao Zhu thinks in his heart. After all, he has worked hard all his life to build a country, so he naturally hopes that Zhu Biao can put it first in his heart.
"Let me think about this matter, I won't let you down." Lao Zhu comforted Zhu Biao and walked away.
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly turned red after his father left. I murmured in my heart, 'Father, do you know? In the hearts of the children, Jingyun is more important than the country, the country, and the country. '
Zhu Biao's expression just now was deliberately made to show Lao Zhu, because he knew what answer his father wanted. If Zhu Biao had just dared to show that Han Jingyun was more important than Jiangshan Sheji, then it would be a real disaster for him and Han Jingyun.
...
Han Du returned home with a relaxed look on his face, and the whole family was waiting for Han Du worriedly.
The news that Han Du went out unusually early in the morning and went to the East Palace almost scared Han De away. He was afraid that Han Du would be confused and have a conflict with the prince, and wanted to go to stop it, but felt that it was inappropriate for him to go. Even when Han Jingyun wanted to go, Han De stopped her because it was not appropriate for her to appear in front of Han Du and the prince now.
Now seeing Han Du coming back with ease, Han De finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Have you gone to the East Palace?"
"Gone." Han Du nodded.
"You didn't do anything to the prince, did you?" Hande's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"Nothing." Han Du said casually.
"Oh~ That's good, that's good." Han De was finally able to let go of his worries completely, but just when he thought things had settled down, Han Du added.
"Just beat him up."
"You, you, you... actually beat the prince?" Hande was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Hit him. Who asked him to harm my sister?" Han Duyou said angrily.
