Datang all-rounder

Chapter 120

After being busy for a few days, Wang Ke taught some basic training subjects to the officers selected by Tang Jian. In Wang Ke's opinion, these things are enough for them to practice for a month or so first. , I can only teach them in sections like this. If I stay here all the time and leave only after finishing all the subjects, then don't even think about doing other things.

After arranging the affairs of the special investigation team, Wang Ke hurried to Li Ke. Last night, Li Ke came to his home and asked Wang Ke to take time to visit him today to see what they had done. Sample dagger and compass.Wang Ke didn't dare to delay this matter. After all, the special investigation team began to formally train, and these things were to be distributed to everyone.

Entering Li Ke's office at the Gunpowder Bureau (no, it's called the Weapons and Equipment Development Bureau now), Wang Ke shouted at Li Ke: "I said, Your Highness, quickly get a glass of water, I don't have time to run today. A drop of water will almost dry your mouth."

Li Ke said with a smile: "You deserve it, who told you to find things for yourself all day long."

Wang Ke slumped on the chair and said unconvinced: "Isn't this working for your family? If you want to say that, I really don't care."

Li Ke handed the water to Wang Ke, and said with a wicked smile: "You don't care to try it, see if Father doesn't peel off your skin."

Wang Ke poured the water into his mouth in one gulp, wiped the overflowing water with his hand, handed the teacup to Li Ke and said, "One more cup."

When Li Ke took the teacup and turned to pour water again, Wang Ke went on to say: "It's not like you don't know, I'm also riding a tiger. Don't worry about it. I made these things myself. Don't make a show of it." Come on, I'm really sorry for the emperor's trust in me; don't worry, I'm still exhausted all day long."

Li Ke handed the water to Wang Ke, sat opposite Wang Ke, looked at Wang Ke sympathetically and said, "Yes, I know you are very tired, but isn't there no one who can help you now? You can only stop after these things are done. We can't help you with these things, you can only do it yourself. "

Holding the teacup, Wang Ke nodded heavily. He knew that what Li Ke said was true. These people had never seen or even heard of what he had done. It is completely impossible to help yourself, you can only do it bit by bit by yourself.

Seeing that Wang Ke was silent, Li Ke asked, "Brother Wang, is there anything else you want to do after you come to my place today and finish your business?"

Wang Ke looked at Li Ke, shook his head and replied: "No, today my plan is to go home after finishing the work of the special investigation team and your work. I have been busy for so long and have not rested all day. , or let me repair it for a day, people are almost tired and falling apart. What, is there something wrong with His Royal Highness King Wu?"

Li Ke laughed and said: "It's fine if there is nothing. If there is nothing else, I will go to your house with Brother Wang. I haven't been to your house for a long time. It's strange."

Wang Ke was speechless for a moment, he never thought that Li Ke asked himself if he was okay, that was the idea.

After a while, Wang Ke said angrily: "You don't know if you go to our restaurant to eat, the taste is not the same."

Li Ke smiled slyly and said: "That's different. Although the taste is the same when you go to a restaurant, you have to pay for it. Besides, if I go to eat, wouldn't I have to occupy a private room and do less business?" , it’s not worth it.”

Li Ke's words made Wang Ke feel relieved. This Li Ke is too good, and he doesn't suffer at all.

Seeing that Wang Ke was so angry, Li Ke couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "Brother Wang, I was joking with you. The women in my house have told me several times, thinking of you Go home and have a look, they haven't seen my two younger sisters since you got married last time, they want to visit them and talk to them."

Only then did Wang Ke calm down, but he still spoke angrily: "You just say it, why are you saying it so badly? It seems like you are not allowed to go to my house for a meal. Now hurry up and see what you do. Let’s have a sample, we’ll go back after we’re done.”

Li Ke hurriedly called his subordinates and told him to go back to the mansion and tell his concubines to go through Wang Ke's mansion first, and then he and Wang Ke would go straight after finishing their work, instead of going back to the mansion to pick them up. They are gone.

After the servants left, Li Ke brought Wang Ke to a workshop.Walking to a large cabinet, Li Ke took a bunch of keys from his waist, opened the cabinet, took out two samples from inside, and handed them to Wang Ke.

Wang Ke first pulled out the dagger and opened it, only to see a faint blue light flashing all over the dagger, and circular patterns emerged on the blade.Wang Ke understood that this was made using the most advanced forging technology of this era, which is the smelting technique of Damascus steel that later generations call it.

Wang Ke lightly scratched a corner of the big cabinet with a dagger, and saw a piece of sawdust fall to the ground.

Wang Ke stuck out his tongue and said, "It's really sharp, it seems that there is no problem."

Li Ke pointed to the back of the knife and asked, "How about this side? Is it okay?"

Only then did Wang Ke remember that he hadn't looked at the back of the knife carefully.Bringing the dagger close to his eyes, Wang Ke took a serious look at the serrations on the back of the knife. Only then did he realize that if Li Ke hadn't reminded himself, he would have overlooked the shortcomings here.

Wang Ke pointed to the sawtooth on the back of the knife and said to Li Ke: "Here, we have to modify it a bit. Just make the edge of the sawtooth into a blade, so that it will be very convenient to use."

Li Ke nodded and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Wang Ke checked it carefully again, shook his head and said: "No more, as long as the sawtooth is changed, there will be no problem."

Said put down the dagger, took out the compass to look.From the appearance point of view, on the shell made of red copper, the workers also deliberately made the surface into a frosted shape, and you can feel a harsh feeling when you hold it in your hand.In this way, when in use, it will not accidentally slip from the hand to the ground because the outer shell is too slippery.

Wang Ke was very optimistic about this idea, and praised: "This is very good. It has such a non-smooth feel, and you won't worry about it falling from your hand when you use it. This is a good idea."

Li Ke said proudly: "The craftsmen here are all master craftsmen, and the ideas they come up with are really good. I am really satisfied with these craftsmen."

Wang Ke ignored Li Ke's self-satisfaction, and opened the cover of the compass with his hands. After a moment, Wang Ke was stunned. , the two prongs are painted with different colors to show the direction of connecting north and south; the chassis is made of unknown material, and it is shiny. , the line connecting the four characters is embedded with silver wire.

Wang Ke smiled wryly and said, "My lord, you don't need to be so exaggerated. Even gold and silver are used. If you want to use this kind of equipment, you have to make my Tang Dynasty poor."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Why do you always do this? This is for the father. Brother Wang has seen that there is nothing wrong with it. I will send it to the father. The father told me specifically that this compass Made it to give him one."

Only then did Wang Ke heave a sigh of relief. If they all did this, it would be better not to do it earlier, otherwise Changsun Wuji and the others would have to find themselves again.

Wang Ke turned around and stared at the compass in his hand. Now he only cares about whether the thing in his hand is sensitive enough.

After trying a few times, Wang Ke felt okay, so he walked outside the house, Wang Ke tried a few more places, and they all felt pretty good, so Wang Ke handed the compass to Li Ke and said, "It's ok, there's nothing wrong with this one." question."

Li Ke looked at the compass in his hand, and said to Wang Ke: "Brother Wang, Ke has an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Wang Ke didn't know what Li Ke thought of again.He remembered that the last time Li Ke spoke to him in this tone was when he wanted to open a restaurant with him.

He thought that Li Kezhun was playing some crazy idea again, and said vigilantly: "What idea? Tell me and listen. Let me explain clearly to you first. I have a lot of things to do now, so don't try to find trouble for me again!"

Seeing Wang Ke like this, Li Ke didn't argue with Wang Ke, and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, don't think too much, what I'm talking about is business, but Ke is not sure, and wants to discuss it with Brother Wang."

As soon as Wang Ke heard that it was a serious matter, she became serious and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Ke pointed to the compass in his hand and said to Wang Ke: "Brother Wang, now we use pure copper to make this shell. It’s not enough at all, it’s not going to work like this, you have to find something else to replace it.”

Wang Ke couldn't help but glanced at Li Ke twice. He didn't expect that this idle prince who was famous before would actually start thinking about this issue today.

Wang Ke asked quietly: "What do you want to replace in Your Highness' mind? Do you have a count?"

Li Ke shook his head in distress, and said blankly: "I just didn't think of it, so I discussed it with Brother Wang and asked Brother Wang for an idea."

Wang Ke saw that Li Ke's performance just now was really good, but this immediately turned into no idea, and he relied on others to give him advice.

Wang Ke refused without hesitation: "I have no idea. This idea is very good. You are in charge of this matter, so you have to think about it yourself and solve this problem. As I said just now, my business Too many, no time to help you."

The purpose of Wang Ke's doing this is to enable Li Ke to think independently and solve problems.If everything depends on the help of others, then Li Ke will never be able to be alone.Today, Wang Ke wants to take this opportunity to let Li Ke do it independently, so that he can gradually develop the habit of independent thinking and problem solving.

Li Ke didn't know what Wang Ke was thinking, but he knew that Wang Ke would not help him this time.In Li Ke's heart, Wang Ke will help him if anything happens to him.If he didn't help himself this time, it must be because he didn't think about what to do, and he was too busy to help himself.

Looking at Li Ke who was frowning, Wang Ke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think about it now, this matter is over, let's go to my house."

Li Ke nodded, called his subordinates, and explained clearly the areas that needed improvement. After arranging things, he and Wang Ke returned to Wang's house.

As soon as the two entered the gate of Wang Ke's house, they were petrified by the messy mess of women in the living room.
