Datang all-rounder

Chapter 128

In the morning, in front of Suzaku's gate.

Wang Ke arrived here early in the morning, with Wang Si standing beside him, followed by the housekeeper from the mansion and Uncle Wang, the housekeeper who rushed over from Zhuangzi.Behind them, more than a dozen large carts were parked, and the carts were full of silver and grain that the Wang family had pulled from the mansion and village.

On the way home yesterday, Wang Ke had already discussed with Wang Ke that early this morning, he would take out the surplus food and some silver from his family and ask the prince to take it to the south of the Yangtze River for the relief of the victims.

Of course, Wang Ke also spent a lot of words to persuade Wang Si. At that time, no one had this kind of thinking and wanted to contribute his family property for the use of the country.At that time, that is, a wealthy family would open a porridge shed for a few days when there was a disaster in the local area or when there were any weddings and ceremonies in the family.

After Wang Si was finally persuaded by Wang Ke, the two father and son arranged everything in one night. Wang Si also told Wang Ke that whenever someone from the court went out, according to the usual practice, the emperor would see him off in front of the Suzaku gate, and the Chinese Hundreds of military officials will accompany them, and the people of Chang'an City will also be present. The scene is very spectacular.

Wang Ke then discussed with Wang Si that he would directly bring the things here this morning, and when Comrade Li Er arrived, he would first talk to Comrade Li Er and take care of the matter.

Just after the hour, Comrade Li Er's car appeared in the Suzaku Gate. Wang Si touched Wang Ke and motioned him to go forward and explain the matter to Comrade Li Er.

Wang Ke understood that Wang Ke didn't know what he should say, so he had to say it by himself. After all, he thought of this matter by himself, and he could say it more clearly by himself.

Wang Ke walked up to Comrade Li Er, bowed to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to the Emperor, please allow him."

Comrade Li Er felt a little strange about what Wang Ke said. It is said that Wang Ke should report something, but Wang Ke said it was a report; if it was a request, he should also ask Comrade Li Er for approval, but Wang Ke said Yes, it is allowed. From this point of view, what Wang Ke wants to talk about will not be a major event in the court, but something about his family, but it is related to Comrade Li Er.

When Comrade Li Er thought of this, and then thought about what happened in Lanling yesterday, he felt a little surprised. Comrade Li Er thought that what Wang Ke was going to say must have something to do with Lanling, could it be...

Although Comrade Li Er didn't really believe that Wang Ke would do such a thing, but based on Comrade Li Er's understanding of Wang Ke and Wang Ke's courage, Comrade Li Er was really afraid that Wang Ke would do this.

Comrade Li Er unconsciously asked: "Boy, didn't you want to tell me that you are going to give up Lanling? You made a mistake in Lanling yesterday, but it's not going to come to this point."

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Comrade Li Er would ask himself this way, and said blankly: "What did the emperor say? How could I divorce the princess. I just have something to say to the emperor. No anything else."

Hearing what Wang Ke said, Comrade Li Er heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't bother about what was wrong with Wang Ke's tone of voice, and asked quickly: "Then what do you want to tell me, boy, and I will listen to you when you tell me." Listen."

Wang Ke clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I discussed with my father last night after returning home, and decided to donate my family's surplus food and some silver to the court to help the victims of the disaster. I also ask the emperor to fulfill the wishes of my ministers and others."

Comrade Li Er was stunned for a moment. He had never encountered such a thing. In the past, the imperial court collected the property of the minister's family into the treasury, but it was all committed by the minister and confiscated by the imperial court. It was handed over voluntarily. Yes, this is the first time I've encountered it.

Comrade Li Er stared blankly at Wang Ke, not knowing what to say for a moment.The ministers standing next to him were also stunned by the conversation between the two. They did not expect that Wang Ke would find Comrade Li Er early in the morning to do this.Regarding Wang Ke's move, they agreed that Wang Ke didn't have a good rest yesterday and his brain was broken.

A minister who has a good relationship with Wang Si has quietly withdrawn to look for Wang Si, and wants to tell Wang Si that Wang Ke is doing something that a lunatic would do, and Wang Si should hurry up to dissuade Wang Ke from coming down. Don't let him lose face in front of Comrade Li Er.Who knows, Wang Si also gave them the same statement, and emphasized that what Wang Ke said was the result of their family's discussion, which almost shocked these ministers.

Comrade Li Er asked puzzledly: "Boy, what do you mean by this, can you explain it to me."

Wang Ke straightened his face and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the court is duty-bound to rescue the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. But I also know that the current expenditure of the court is not small, and there is not much money and food that can be used. Although the minister does not have much savings in the family, But compared to the people who are currently suffering from the disaster, I don’t know how many times better. I am willing to do my best to help these victims overcome the difficulties. I also ask the emperor to help.”

Comrade Li Er and the ministers present were a little moved by Wang Ke's words.

Comrade Li Er said to Wang Ke with an excited expression: "I didn't expect the boy to have such a heart. I am really moved. It's just that the court has its own arrangements for disaster relief, and the boy doesn't have to take out his own money. The court's point I still have the ability. I will not let the ministers in the court pay their own pockets for this mere disaster relief."

Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er did not accept his idea, so he said patiently: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between the imperial court's contribution to disaster relief and the minister's donation of family property. It is the court's responsibility to do so, and the minister's morality to do so! It's different. The minister's move is just to let the world know that as a citizen of my Great Tang, no matter who he is, as long as he is contributing to the Great Tang, the imperial court will not ignore him; if there are difficulties, the imperial court will help him , other Datang people will also extend a helping hand to him. The minister just wants to let the people understand that everything the emperor and the court do is to make the Tang Dynasty strong and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Wang Ke stopped talking, calmed down and continued: "There is another reason. Didn't the emperor issue an imperial decree yesterday, requiring wealthy families in the disaster-stricken area to borrow their surplus food from the imperial court first, and then the imperial court will return after the disaster has passed?" Pay back to them. The minister is thinking that this matter should be somewhat difficult. The purpose of the minister's move is to tell these people that the ministers in the court have given out their own money, and it is a donation, and they do not ask for it to be returned. Let these people be able to borrow food with peace of mind. Please understand the emperor!"

After Wang Ke finished speaking, everyone present was silent, completely immersed in what Wang Ke said just now.

Suddenly, a voice came out from the crowd: "Okay, donate! The old man also pledged to donate 1000 taels of silver and [-] tans of grain."

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the voice, Wang Ke took a look, but saw Fang Xuanling walking out of the crowd with a smile.

Fang Xuanling walked up to Comrade Li Er, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang has done is really a kind act, and I hope the Emperor will make it happen."

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Du Ruhui also stood beside Fang Xuanling and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is more thoughtful than us, and he is also trying his best to deal with the decrees issued by the imperial court." It was implemented smoothly, and I really admire this old man. I also express my opinion here, and like Mr. Fang, I will donate 1000 taels of silver and [-] dans of grain to the people affected by the disaster!"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's open support for Wang Ke's move immediately caused waves among the ministers, and the ministers no longer thought that Comrade Li Er had not agreed to accept Wang Ke's donation, and they all said that they would also like to accept Wang Ke's donation. How much to donate.

Comrade Li Er saw that he could not agree now, and the emotions of the ministers had been ignited by the three of Wang Ke, so he had to smile wryly and said: "Okay, okay, who are you telling this to?"

Wang Ke rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Your Majesty, let's do it this way. Hurry up and find an adult to count and see how much you are willing to donate. Record it on the imperial list and post it in front of Suzaku's gate. Let the common people We all know that the officials of our Tang Dynasty care about the common people. When the people were hit by a disaster, they would actively donate their little savings to help the people affected by the disaster. This will also inspire all the people in the Tang Dynasty to contribute to the people in the disaster-stricken area. Do your best."

Comrade Li Er said unhappily: "Could it be that if you can donate, I can't?"

As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew that Comrade Li Er was donating when he saw that the ministers were all donating. I did this under the inspiration of the emperor. The emperor has the people all over the world in his heart, and he is a role model for us!"

Wang Ke's flattery made Comrade Li Er feel comfortable all over, and Comrade Li Er, with a look of color on his face, appointed his eldest grandson Wuji to start this matter immediately.

The ministers present all had a little contempt for Wang Ke, obviously he was the one who asked to donate his family's money in the first place, which drove everyone to do so.As a result, Comrade Li Er now cares about the people of the world and takes the lead in donating to the disaster area.However, these people also had to admire Wang Ke's quick turn, which immediately highlighted the image of Comrade Li Er Mingjun.In this way, I don't know how many hearts have been won over by Comrade Li Er.

After all, Fang Xuanling has seen a lot about government affairs. Although this is the first time he has encountered this situation, after thinking about it for a while, he thought of a way to better publicize the effect of today's event.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, we are in a hurry today. From what I see, why not do this?"

When Comrade Li Er saw him coming forward to talk about things, he knew that he thought everything through, so he asked, "Fang Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"

Fang Xuanling pointed to Wang Ke and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Wang's proposal is good, but now there is not enough time to send the crown prince off. From what I see, it is better to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Accounts. All the adults donate The property is handed over to the Ministry of Households, which makes a book for registration, and after all the donated money and goods are collected, they are transported to the south of the Yangtze River in a unified manner. The list of all donors will be announced by the imperial court."

Wang Ke didn't wait for Comrade Li Er to speak, and immediately stepped forward and said: "What Mr. Fang said is very true. I didn't think it through just now, but Mr. Fang thought it through. I ask the emperor to approve it and implement it according to Mr. Fang's method."

Comrade Li Er didn't know how to do it at all, and whoever came up with a way would agree. Now seeing Wang Ke, he said that he didn't think carefully just now, and he agreed with what Fang Xuanling said, so he agreed down.

Changsun Wuji saw that there was no need to rush to write now, so he stopped writing, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "That's good, I can rest now. Just now, the adults were all around me, and I was afraid of being delayed again." When the prince set off, he was really in a hurry."

Wang Ke cupped his fists to Changsun Wuji apologetically and said, "It's all due to my nephew's violent collision, which made my grandson tired."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand indifferently and said, "I don't blame you, you have good intentions."

At this moment, following the official announcement of the hour, the prince and his party saluted Comrade Li Er, and then headed south along Zhuque Street.
