Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Yan Shigu looked at Du He doubtfully, then nodded half-believingly.

He had already concluded in his heart that Du He had no way out, but he still held out a glimmer of hope.

What if?

The fact that Du He could create such magical things as Pinyin and dictionaries proves that he is no ordinary person.

Putting aside arrogance and prejudice, if you look at Du He objectively, you will know that the contribution made by Du He is greater than that of some ministers in the court!

knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, and an official from the Secretary's Office stood at the door and said respectfully.

"Secretary, someone from the Ministry of Personnel is here and said that Minister Hou wants you to go to the Ministry of Personnel."

In addition to being responsible for the printing of pinyin and dictionaries, Du He was also responsible for assisting in the promotion of pinyin.

Hou Junji and the people in the Ministry of Personnel did not understand pinyin, and were afraid that Du He would only think about printing, so they quickly sent someone to invite Du He to the Ministry of Personnel for guidance.

Yan Shigu waved his hand generously and said, "Secretary Shaojian, you go to the Ministry of Personnel first. I will arrange the printing of the Chinese Pinyin."

Then he added, "The Secretariat is your home now. It won't be long before my position as Secretary General will be yours. You have to put more effort into printing and try to complete the task this year and get the reward."

Du He grinned: "Don't worry, Lord Yan, I know the priorities."

Du He was unmoved by the promise made by his boss Yan Shigu.

After all, the big pie that Li Chengqian had painted for him was that he would start as the head of all officials and was even promised to be made a king of a different surname.

This secretary general, who is of the third rank, is somewhat unpresentable.

In addition, his current main job is secretary-general, so even if Yan Shigu didn't say anything, he would focus on completing the printing tasks within the department.

...

When Du He arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, there were already people waiting outside the gate. When he walked in, all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel greeted him warmly.

"Du He is here really quickly. Come and sit over here. The freshly baked pastries are still hot."

When Hou Junji saw Du He, he received him very warmly.

His action shocked the clerk who brought Du He in.

The Shangshu's attitude towards Du He is so good!

Du He bowed and smiled, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu."

When you are out, addressing people by their job title is the minimum respect you can show them.

Du He said with emotion: "The Ministry of Personnel is still good! The colleagues are harmonious and the atmosphere is relaxed. It can be seen that the Shangshu is a good leader."

"Haha, if I had known that you were so optimistic about the Ministry of Personnel, I should have applied to His Majesty to bring you here."

Every one of those people in Menxia Province is a troll.

Although the people in the Secretariat are all well-educated and knowledgeable scholars, they are generally older and have a bit of decadence about them.

No wonder Du He felt this way.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Hou Junji got straight to the point: "Du He, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to teach pinyin to the people in the Ministry of Personnel."

"After the Ministry of Personnel has mastered it, we will send them to various states to preach."

"You secretarial department must prepare the pinyin books in advance for the missionaries in our Ministry of Personnel."

The Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel are full of talented people, and they had already discussed the pinyin promotion plan yesterday.

Moreover, they not only have a wealth of talented people, but also have sufficient manpower, so such a small matter is a piece of cake for them.

Du He stood up and said, "Sir Shangshu, let's get started now without further delay."

Hou Junji also stood up and said admiringly: "Very good! You are vigorous and resolute. I was right about you!"

Then he said with emotion: "It's a pity that you are already married to a princess, otherwise it would be very suitable for Haitangxia to marry you."

Du He's mouth twitched and he started cursing in his heart.

You are so good, Hou Junji, you actually set your sights on me.

I treat you as a brother, but you actually want to be my father-in-law!

Bah~

shameless.

Led by Hou Junji, the two came to a spacious room in the Ministry of Personnel.

A large group of young officials were sitting cross-legged on mats. When they saw Hou Junji and Du He, they stood up and saluted.

"Mr. Shangshu, Mr. Shaojian."

Hou Junji waved at them and motioned them to sit down.

Du He looked around the room and found a large wooden board standing at the front of the room, covered with sheets of rice paper.

On one side of the wooden board, there is a set of pens and ink.

Du He nodded appreciatively.

Although there was no blackboard at that time, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

The people in the Ministry of Personnel were well prepared, which also made it convenient for Du He to teach pinyin.

Du He spoke for a full two hours, ending today's teaching at the end of noon.

Because the people in the Ministry of Personnel have other things to do, it is impossible for them to train and study here all day.

However, after two hours of explanation by Du He, this group of civil servants with a deep knowledge of writing had basically mastered pinyin.

In order to thank Du He for teaching him pinyin, Hou Junji had some side dishes prepared and invited Du He to have a drink in the Ministry of Personnel.

Hou Junji said to Du He, "My dear nephew, please continue to teach them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so that they can master Pinyin thoroughly."

"Otherwise, they will go to various counties with only a limited understanding and it is easy to convey incorrect pronunciations."

Du He was silent for a moment and then said, "Uncle Hou, I will go to Chongwenguan tomorrow to ask a lecturer to come over. He is very familiar with pinyin."

"Now the people in the Ministry of Personnel have already mastered the basics of pinyin. They just need a few more days to consolidate and become proficient in it."

Hou Junji smiled and said, "That's fine."

He knew that Du He's task of printing was very heavy and much more difficult than promoting pinyin in their Ministry of Personnel.

After Du He left the Ministry of Personnel, he went to the Eastern Palace first.

In addition to instructing the scholars who taught at Chongwenguan to teach pinyin at the Ministry of Personnel, he also had to discuss the improvement of printing technology with Li Chengqian.

Du He planned to let Li Chengqian take the credit for this great achievement so as to completely consolidate his position as the crown prince.

Li Chengqian had a fatal flaw, which was his limp, and he had to cover it up with great achievements.

East Palace, Chongwen Hall.

Du He stood at the gate, looking at the empty Chongwen Hall, and was stunned.

He wiped his eyes in disbelief.

What about people?

Where have those dozens of living people gone?

Aren’t all of them taking leave?

When Du He was doubting his life, the government offices of Chang'an County and Wannian County were crowded with people.

The people in the county government were busy processing the house purchase procedures for this group of people, some old and some young.

Seeing this group of people, whose clothes were shabbily washed and turned pale, spending dozens or even hundreds of strings of cash to buy houses, the people in the county government were all dumbfounded.

"Where on earth did these poor scholars get so much money?"

"Especially this old man with gray hair and beard, whose clothes cost less than 150 coins, yet he actually spent coins to buy a large house in Jiahuifang!"

The group of people who were being discussed in the county government were none other than the scholars from Chongwenguan.

When they received the generous reward from the court, they were so happy that they went crazy.

The wealth they obtained was far beyond their imagination.

Therefore, after receiving the reward money yesterday, they all asked Li Chengqian for leave and went to various markets to look at houses with their families early this morning.

They are also very decisive. When they see a house they like, they quickly make a decision after some bargaining.

The person who spent 150 strings of cash to buy the mansion was Liao Jun, a scholar at Chongwenguan.

Jiahuifang, a newly purchased large mansion.

Liao Jun, his wife, three sons, three daughters-in-law, and seven grandchildren looked at the new house in amazement.

"Dad, let's go see our new home first."
