Datang all-rounder

Chapter 130

After waiting patiently, Wang Ke finally got the good news. Although the boats going down the canal experienced a lot of twists and turns in the canal, they still arrived at the disaster-stricken areas in the south of the Yangtze River smoothly and delivered the supplies to the disaster-stricken areas safely. All over the country, it has now begun to distribute to the victims of the disaster.

Wang Ke unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief. It is a great thing that there is no problem with his idea. After all, he also knows that the current shipping industry is still in its infancy. I am used to traveling by land, but not so accustomed to water transportation.

Wang Ke has a good understanding of the roads after coming to the Tang Dynasty. It is better in Chang'an City. As long as he wants to go to his own village, it will be more troublesome. Not to mention the dirt roads, because the horse-drawn carriages are crushed all the year round. The road is bumpy all the way, if it rains or after it rains, then this road is no longer called a road, it is completely muddy, there is not even a place to step down.

As the capital city of Datang, Chang'an is still like this, and Wang Ke can know from here that the roads in the whole of Datang will not be any better. This transportation of supplies is a good example. If the weather is bad, the transportation of materials and the mobilization of troops will be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Wang Ke had an inexplicable impulse. He was used to driving in later generations, and he also paid great attention to the road conditions. Usually, he didn't care about this problem when he didn't think about it. I'm starting to think about working on this.

But how to start it made Wang Ke a little embarrassed. After all, building roads is not a trivial matter. In later generations, a lot of machinery will be used to build roads. Very difficult thing.

Wang Ke found the national traffic atlas that he kept in the car when he was crossing, and stared at the general map in front of him in a daze. He wanted to get some inspiration from this, so that this matter could be done more easily. .

While thinking hard, Nan Ping ran in and asked strangely: "Isn't the general going out today? It's already this hour, and you're still sitting at home."

Wang Ke shook his head silently, put the traffic atlas into the drawer, and said: "I'm thinking about whether I should carry out a renovation on all the roads in the country. Mobilization is a big problem."

Nanping sat down and asked with great interest: "General, tell me what you think, let me listen."

Wang Ke sat down, put his hand on his chin and said: "You have also seen the delivery of money and food this time. When it rains, the road will be impassable. If there is an emergency and the army needs to be mobilized, it will delay the matter." "When the army is fighting, food and grass cannot be supplied in time because the roads are not smooth. Don't the soldiers have to fight hungry? How amazing is this!"

With this said, Nan Ping also felt that the problem was a bit serious, and asked anxiously: "Then what should I do? Can't it be changed? What is the best way for the general? I have to report it to the emperor as soon as possible, and it would be better sooner." change the situation"

Wang Ke said with a wry smile: "I'm just worried about what to do. Road construction requires very high manpower and financial resources. I just settled down in the Tang Dynasty, and the financial resources of the court are not enough to support such a large project. Manpower and financial resources are very high. It’s also a problem on the road, we can’t let the people build roads without farming the land.”

What Wang Ke said was the truth, all aspects must be balanced, ignoring any aspect will cause disastrous consequences, which is definitely what Wang Ke does not want to see.

Nanping didn't know what to do for a while.After a long time, Nan Ping murmured: "Then what should we do? Is there no way to solve this problem? General, you have so many ideas in the past, can't you think of one today?"

Wang Ke's face turned into a bitter gourd in an instant, and she said distressedly: "It's not that I can't think of a way, there is really no way to think about it. There are too many relationships involved in this, it's not that simple!"

As soon as Wang Ke said this, Nan Ping immediately said: "The general should go to the father to talk about it first. All the relations should be left to the father to figure out a solution. Anyway, this matter needs to be agreed by the father. To dispatch, isn't it?"

Wang Ke lowered his head, and while tidying up the things on the desk, he said: "That's right, I'll talk to the emperor first to see what the emperor's attitude is, and then discuss with the adults to see what can be done. This matter It should be done in the head, otherwise it will be bad if there are delays in the future."

When he came to the imperial study room, Wang Ke didn't see Comrade Li Er's figure. Wang Ke felt very strange. Comrade Li Er usually stayed in the imperial study room when he had nothing to do. How could there be no one today.

In desperation, Wang Ke had no choice but to ask the deacon and eunuch in the imperial study. If you don't ask, you don't know. When you ask Wang Ke, you will know that Comrade Li Er has not come to the imperial study today.

Wang Ke had no choice. Whether Comrade Li Er would come or not was not up to him to decide. He was hesitating whether to report or not. The eunuch said to Wang Ke cleverly: "My lord, wait a moment, our family I haven't heard of anything going on in the palace, so I guess the emperor didn't come out of the palace because he thought there was nothing to do today. When our family goes in and informs the emperor, if Mr. Wang wants to see the emperor, the emperor will definitely come out."

Seeing what the eunuch said, Wang Ke thought that he had already come, and it would be troublesome to go back and wait for a while, so he agreed, went into the imperial study and sat down, waiting for Comrade Li Er to arrive.

After a while, Comrade Li Er turned in, saw Wang Ke and said, "I was thinking that I would have nothing to do today, and I wanted to be lazy for a day, so you came here. If you have anything to do, tell me."

Wang Ke hurriedly apologized, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you, and I ask you to make a decision."

Comrade Li Er leaned back on the chair and asked a little lazily: "What's the matter? Let me listen to you. Is your boy up to something else?"

Wang Ke told Comrade Li Er what he said at home and in Nanping, and Comrade Li Er frowned and said, "This is a problem, but what should we do about it?"

Wang Ke asked carefully: "I don't know what the emperor thinks about this matter?"

Comrade Li Er thought for a while before saying: "This matter must be done. It's just that what you said now is the truth, and I don't know what to do. Boy, what do you think should be done now?"

Wang Ke said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I haven't figured out what to do with this matter. In my opinion, I still have to invite Mr. Fang and the others to discuss it together."

Comrade Li Er nodded and said: "That's right. This matter is very important. It would be better if a few more people discuss it." After finishing speaking, he called Eunuch Yang to come and told him to invite Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian as soon as possible. Come together to discuss.

Wang Ke interjected: "Your Majesty, do you want to call Mr. Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, together? After all, this is also a matter of the Ministry of Industry."

Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said: "Then let's call together. If there are many people, we can talk about more ideas." Eunuch Yang took the order to go.

Wang Ke watched Eunuch Yang walk out of the imperial study, and then said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, I think something is wrong with Mr. Du recently, is he sick? Please ask Mr. Du to pay more attention to his body. "

Hearing this, Comrade Li Er also said with some concern: "Yes, I have told him several times to let him rest. But there are a lot of things during this period, and Du Qing is very busy. He can't rest. Hey, when these things are over, let him have a good rest and recover from his illness."

The two were chatting vigorously, and Eunuch Yang walked in with a few people.

Comrade Li Er waited for a few people to greet him, then pointed to Wang Ke and said: "The Wang family boy has an idea. I just talked to me about it. I think it's better to call all my dear friends to discuss it. What do you think."

After listening to Comrade Li Er's explanation of the reason for calling them here, several ministers all looked at Wang Ke together.

Wang Ke had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Comrade Li Er, scolding himself in his heart as he said it: "It's so stupid, it's fine to just write a report, if you want to come and say it with your mouth, you still have to say it." Don't talk dry, and don't know how to save some saliva to nourish your spirit!"

After listening to Wang Ke's introduction, everyone lowered their heads and thought about it. Combined with the recent events, they also felt that it was necessary.

Everyone here has a deep understanding of the current road. When it rains, the road will be particularly difficult to walk.At the end of the day, a pair of shoes are so dirty that you can't even tell the difference between your nose and eyes.But if we really want to build roads, there are many problems to be solved, and it is not so easy.

Comrade Li Er didn't speak when he saw this, so he felt a little anxious, so he began to ask by name: "Zhang Aiqing, you are from the Ministry of Industry, what do you think?"

Seeing that Comrade Li Er had named his name, Zhang Liang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I haven't made up my mind yet, should I let the other adults talk about it first, and I will talk about it after I have made up my mind."

Comrade Li Er turned his head and asked: "Whoever has made up his mind, let's talk about it first."

At this time, Fang Xuanling and several ministers muttered a few words, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I discussed with several adults just now. I think this matter should be done, but the specific details involved The matter, I have not thought about it in detail, and I have to think about it carefully."

On the one hand, Fang Xuanling's words affirmed that Wang Ke's proposal was necessary, on the other hand, he also implicitly stated that they had a lot of doubts in their hearts, and it was not yet possible to draw a conclusion on whether it could be implemented.

Wang Ke understood the meaning of this, and said quickly: "The boy is not sure, so I asked the emperor to invite the adults. After all, this person counts his strengths, and one person counts his weaknesses, so I have to ask you adults to come up with some ideas." It is."

Zhang Liang said at this time: "This road should be repaired. Now it is not very convenient for the court to transport money and food, or to mobilize soldiers and horses, let alone the walking of the people and the transportation of goods by merchants. It’s inconvenient. But the old man has also thought about it carefully, if this road is really going to be built, how should it be built, this is a big problem.”

When Wang Ke heard this, he interjected: "The boy thinks that this road surface should be hardened, not just loess like it is now, but should be rainwater drenched on it, not a layer of mud."

Zhang Liangliang nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. But if we want to do this, we can only pave the ground with stone materials. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, the soil at the bottom will turn up, which is worse than it is now. That How to deal with the time. These issues have to be considered in advance.”

Zhang Liang's words made Wang Ke shut up immediately. He really didn't think about this, but it existed objectively.If you can't do it well once and for all, then it's better not to do it. If you start work casually and do some useless work, there is no point in doing it.
