Datang all-rounder

Chapter 129

The hectic days have finally slowed down. Although I am still busy, I am not as busy as I used to be, leaving early and returning late every day.Wang Ke can also be lazy from time to time, such as going out later, going home earlier or something.

This morning, Wang Ke was still lying on the bed and didn't want to get up. She saw Dongyue walking in with a few residence newspapers. As soon as she got to the bed, Wang Ke stretched out her hand and pulled Dongyue down on the bed. Looking at Dongyue, the other hand started to walk on Dongyue's body, and a stinky mouth moved towards Dongyue.

Dongyue struggled and said in a low voice: "General, don't. This is sister Nanping's room. If sister Nanping comes in, it will be bad if she sees it."

Wang Ke was actually just teasing Dongyue. Seeing what Dongyue said, she stopped, but she put her arms around Dongyue's waist and asked, "Why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Dongyue raised the mansion newspaper in her hand and said, "Isn't this for the general?"

Wang Ke said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just a few mansion newspapers? I'll put them in the study soon. I'll read them when I get up. There's no need to bring them here."

Dongyue said with a smile: "Sister Nanping told me to come here, saying that the general would get up when he saw this. It seems that sister Nanping was not right."

Wang Ke is a little strange now. On weekdays, Nanping puts the delivered newspaper directly in the study, and he can see it as soon as he goes to the study. How could he let Dongyue send it to his room today?

Wang Ke felt something was wrong in this abnormal situation, and asked unconsciously, "Did your Nanping sister read this after receiving it?"

Dongyue tilted her head and thought for a while before answering: "My sister only read one book and asked my concubine to send it to the general. I didn't read anything else."

Wang Ke knew that Nanping could read and write, so it seemed that there must be something different about the mansion newspaper today, and she stopped teasing Dongyue, turned over and sat up.

Taking the mansion newspaper from Dongyue's hand, he asked, "Which one did you read in Nanping?"

Dongyue curled her lips and said, "I don't know about this concubine. After my sister saw it, she piled everything together and asked the concubine to send it up."

Wang Ke stopped talking, got up and got out of bed, and went straight to the study.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Ke couldn't wait to open the mansion newspaper and read it. The first one didn't say anything, that is, some things that the court did on weekdays. Wang Ke probably threw it aside after reading it. He didn't really care about anything, he just wanted to see what it was that made Nanping so anxious to let him know.

After reading several residence newspapers, Wang Ke didn't feel that there was anything very important. Looking at the several residence newspapers spread out on the desk, Wang Ke really didn't understand why Nanping was in such a hurry today.

Wang Ke decided to ask Nanping what made her so anxious.

After washing up, Wang Ke came downstairs with some residence newspapers in hand, stood in the living room and looked around, but did not see a figure of his wife.

Wang Ke stood there blankly. He didn't know where these women would be now. He wanted to look for them, but he really didn't want to move. After thinking about it, let's forget it and sit down and wait.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Ke opened a few more mansion newspapers, and he planned to take a closer look to find out what made Nanping so anxious.After tossing and turning, Wang Ke read it twice and didn't see anything worth seeing. Thinking about it, if there is really a big event, it won't just be written in this mansion newspaper, and I don't know who will read it. He came to the door and asked himself to drink tea in the palace or some other ministry.

At this time, Wang Ke felt a little hungry, so he threw the newspaper on the sofa, and Wang Ke walked to the kitchen.

Their family is now used to Wang Ke's habit of not getting up in the morning, and not necessarily eating when he gets up. Everyone no longer has to force Wang Ke to get up to eat when they get up in the morning. Some are in the kitchen. When Wang Ke gets up and wants to eat, he goes to the kitchen to look for them. It’s okay if he doesn’t eat.

Walking into the kitchen, Wang Ke came to the place where he usually eats, opened it, and found a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles.

Wang Ke was too lazy, and instead of taking it to the dining table outside, she took out a pair of chopsticks and stood there to eat.

Just when Wang Ke was eating happily, bursts of laughter came from outside the back door of the kitchen. Wang Ke walked over curiously, and looked out through the gap in the door, only to realize that his three wives had all run to the kitchen. Here it comes.

Wang Ke opened the door and called to Nanping, "Come to Nanping, I have something to ask you."

Wang Ke's voice startled the three of them. After seeing that it was Wang Ke, he patted his chest with his hand and walked towards Wang Ke.

While chewing on the steamed buns, Wang Ke asked, "Why did you come here? It's easy for me to find."

Nan Ping explained with a smile: "Grandma said it's a pity that the backside is so deserted. I am discussing with my two younger sisters how to use this land."

As soon as Wang Ke heard that it was for this matter, he immediately fell silent. For him, as long as he is not allowed to do it, he has no objection to what to do here.

Wang Ke turned around and walked out. He was really afraid that his wives could not settle down, and if he wanted to make up his own mind, he would really get himself involved.

The three women didn't know that Wang Ke's idea of ​​going out was the idea, they thought that Wang Ke had something to talk to Nanping, so they all walked out together.

Wang Ke pointed to the Dibao on the sofa, and asked Nanping, "Why are you so anxious to ask Dongyue to bring this to me? I read it several times and I didn't see anything important." Come."

When Nan Ping heard that Wang Ke was asking himself this matter, he didn't say a word. He bent down, found a copy he had read, handed it to Wang Ke and said, "General, take a closer look."

Wang Ke took it and read it carefully again. This residence report was copied and sent by the imperial court to escort the money and food allocated by the imperial court to the disaster area, as well as the relief materials donated by the capital.The above stated that due to the bad weather, the team going all the way south was troubled by the muddy road after the rain. There is also the approval of the Ministry of Households on this matter.

Wang Ke looked at Nanping puzzledly, patted the Dibao in his hand and said, "There is no problem, it's a normal thing, there's nothing strange about it."

Nan Ping said with a serious face: "Can't the general think of some way to remedy this situation? This is a life-saving thing. The sooner it arrives, the more lives will be saved. If it is delayed, I don't know." How many people are going to die"

Nanping's words made Wang Ke's heart feel like being stabbed by a needle. He didn't expect that Nanping was so anxious to save more talents, so he asked Dongyue to send the mansion report to him, hoping that he could come up with a remedy .

Wang Ke's nose became a little sore. He understood Nanping's thoughts. Nanping didn't forget that there were still people who were starving and cold because she had no worries about food and clothing. Do your part silently for those who are suffering.

Wang Ke said quickly: "I was wrong, I didn't think of this. I'll go and think of a way right away, and see if I can come up with a way."

Nan Ping lowered his head slightly, bowed to Wang Ke and said, "I hope the general can find a way. I will thank the general on behalf of the common people."

Wang Ke pulled Nanping up, didn't speak, just nodded heavily, turned around and walked upstairs.

In the study, Wang Ke walked around the desk, unable to sit down, not because he didn't want to sit down, but because he really didn't want to sit down, Zhu Nanping's words kept coming to his ears from time to time, which made him feel unable to sit down peacefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with any idea. Wang Ke felt very bored, so she walked to the small terrace outside the study and stood there, staring straight at the garden in the yard.

The garden was already full of lush branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, Wang Ke's mood relaxed a lot, and his eyes couldn't help looking around.As his eyes turned to the pond in the garden, Wang Ke only felt his eyes light up, and an idea came to him spontaneously.

Wang Ke couldn't help shouting loudly: "I have a solution! I have an idea!" While shouting, she turned and went downstairs and ran out of the house.

When the three girls heard Wang Ke's cry, they all ran out, only to see Wang Ke rushing out in an extraordinary manner, leaving only a fleeting view of their backs.Knowing that Wang Ke had thought of a solution, Nan Ping let go of his long-hanging heart, and brought Lan Ling and Dong Yue back to the house with a smile on his face.

Wang Ke came all the way to the palace, and came directly to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, stepped into the door, and before saluting to Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the team delivering money and food is moving slowly now, so we have to think about it." Only the way"

Comrade Li Er was concentrating on looking at the memorial in his hand, when Wang Ke's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, he was also a little dazed, looked up at Wang Ke, and after gathering his composure, he said, "What did you say, tell me again."

After Wang Ke repeated it again, Comrade Li Er sighed and said: "I am also anxious about this matter, but there is no other way. I just send another team, and the result is not the same."

Wang Ke said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this land route is not easy, we can take the water route."

"Waterway?" Comrade Li Er didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "What waterway, how to get there?"

Wang Ke was also polite, picked up the writing brush on Comrade Li Er's case, briefly sketched the direction of the Tang Dynasty's waterways on the paper, pointed to the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south, and said: "Please look, Your Majesty, at this time the Grand Canal built by the previous dynasty The canal, now that the imperial court’s escort team cannot move smoothly due to the rain, why can’t we change our thinking and use this grand canal to transport the imperial court’s supplies to the south of the Yangtze River?”

Comrade Li Er looked at the map drawn on the paper and was silent for a while before saying: "It's a good idea, but the team is not close to the canal now. If we want to go to the side of the canal and then transfer, wouldn't it be the same as now?" Does it take the same amount of time to travel this way?"

Wang Ke smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I have already thought about this problem. We can't hope that the current escort team can do this. Instead, we have to order all the places along the canal to pay a certain proportion of money and food. Ships to the south of the Yangtze River. The escort team sent by the imperial court no longer marched to the south of the Yangtze River, but turned to the banks of the canal, and returned the money and food escorted by the current escort team to the governments of various places, which was not enough for the supplies they had transported to the south of the Yangtze River in advance. "

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke's words, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to call Eunuch Yang, asking him to go and call Changsun Wuji and others in immediately to discuss whether Wang Ke's method is feasible.

After all the people had arrived, Comrade Li Er asked Wang Ke to explain his thoughts again, and immediately got everyone's unanimous approval. Fang Xuanling couldn't stop praising Wang Ke's method, which created a new New ideas for transporting supplies and deploying troops.

Wang Ke repeatedly said modestly that this was just a coincidence, and it all depended on the influence of the emperor and uncles on him in the past, which made everyone present feel extremely comfortable.

In this pleasant atmosphere, one after another imperial decree requesting all places along the canal to allocate money and grain to the south of the Yangtze River in advance was written, and Comrade Li Er ran out of prints and sent them out quickly.
