Datang all-rounder

Chapter 131

Wang Ke's bewilderment made everyone present feel a little lost. In their opinion, before Wang Ke made this suggestion, he must have thought about what to do next, but now Zhang Liang's explanation made Wang Ke also There was nothing to say, and this couldn't help but make them a little uncomfortable.

Their current attitude towards Wang Ke has changed from suspicion at the beginning to affirmation now. Wang Ke's inability to answer this time made them really troubled.

Comrade Li Er asked with some regret: "Is there really no other way?"

Faced with Comrade Li Er's questioning, no one could open their mouths. They only felt feverish on their faces. The people present were all the think tanks of Datang. In their view, as long as they get together, there is nothing that cannot be solved. However, today, they were stumped by such a very realistic problem, and everyone felt a little ashamed in their hearts.

Zhang Liang was a little disappointed when he saw this group of people being mentioned by him. He also knew that everyone here was thinking about the court. This matter was a little embarrassing for everyone because of what he said just now. These people can regain confidence and can think of ways to do this thing well.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but said: "If there is no other way, just as Mr. Xiao Wang said, use stones to pave it first, and wait until there is a better way for the court to build a better road. .”

"No!" As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Wang Ke objected: "This is absolutely not possible. The financial resources of the imperial court are not enough to build roads repeatedly. The cost of doing this is really too high. If there is no other way It’s a good way, the boy still suggests that this matter should not be touched, and a better way is to do it again in the future!”

Comrade Li Er and all the ministers present were a little moved by Wang Ke's resolute denial of his suggestion.By doing this, Wang Ke made them feel that every suggestion made by Wang Ke was not for the sake of benefiting themselves, but for the sake of Comrade Li Er's governance, for the sake of the court, and for For the sake of the people of the world.

At this time, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, although there is no corruption or bribery, everyone wants to be a virtuous minister with a long history. Whenever he wants to make a suggestion, he will try his best to make it implemented. It is unthinkable for Wang Ke to voluntarily veto his proposal like this today, and it will never happen.

For a moment, as Wang Ke's voice fell, the entire imperial study room became completely silent, and everyone shut their mouths tightly and did not speak. The silence, the silence, made people feel a little suffocated, and a sense of loss spread in the room. , making people feel breathless.

Comrade Li Er was very upset about this situation. He tried to break the atmosphere and said: "Think about it, see if there is a way to replace the stone pavement under the current conditions, and also prevent the soil at the bottom from turning up after it rains." thing."

Comrade Li Er's questioning made everyone in the room start their brains again, and the suppressed emotions just now disappeared in an instant.

As soon as the mood changed, everyone's brains became more active. You made a lot of suggestions with each other. Although after everyone's discussion, all the suggestions were rejected one by one, but now everyone's In my heart, I didn't feel as lost as before, and I just focused on how to solve this problem, so that Wang Ke's proposal, which made everyone feel that it is necessary to start immediately, can be realized smoothly.

Du Ruhui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke at this moment: "Your Majesty, my lords, I have an idea, but I have to ask Lord Xiao Wang first before I can make a decision. I also ask Lord Xiao Wang to explain this to me."

The last sentence Du Ruhui said was aimed at Wang Ke, and when he said it, he cupped his hands towards Wang Ke.

Wang Ke immediately stood up, and returned the salute to Du Ruhui: "If Mr. Du has any questions, my nephew will definitely know everything."

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "My husband's family also built a small building with the house construction team built by my nephew. I just remembered that the past few months have also been washed by a lot of rain, but there is nothing Damaged. The old man thought, can this method also be used in road construction? I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Wang to clarify.”

Du Ruhui had just finished speaking halfway, and Wang Ke already vaguely felt a little activity in his mind, and when Du Ruhui finished speaking, Wang Ke already felt as if he had seen the sun through the clouds, and there was a smooth road in front of him.

Wang Ke didn't care about answering Du Ruhui's question, so she jumped up from the chair, patted her forehead, and said loudly: "I'm such a stupid brain, why didn't I think of it. If it wasn't for Uncle Du's reminder, everyone would Forgot about this thing. This is the best road construction material now!"

Although Wang Ke did not answer Du Ruhui's question, his behavior at the moment undoubtedly showed that what Du Ruhui said was correct.

Looking at Wang Ke who was dancing, Comrade Li Er also seemed very tolerant because the matter was resolved. Instead of scolding Wang Ke for being impolite, he pointed at Wang Ke and said with a smile: "Look at you, how can you look like a The minister of the imperial court is completely a village urchin. Hurry up and explain your material in detail, so that I and all the lovers know what is going on."

Comrade Li Er's words made Wang Ke slowly calm down. Wang Ke put away his excitement and explained this road construction method to everyone present in detail.

After the introduction, Wang Ke continued: "Although this method of road construction seems more complicated than the current method, its advantage is that it can withstand rolling, and it takes a long time to use. It’s not troublesome. As long as the new construction is strictly required and no corners are cut, the quality can be guaranteed.”

The many benefits that Wang Ke mentioned made everyone very satisfied, but the cut corners mentioned at the end made everyone a little puzzled. In their minds, there was no such concept.

Comrade Li Er asked in puzzlement: "Why do you want to cut corners and materials? Is there any benefit in doing so?"

How could Wang Ke know what these people were thinking? Seeing that Comrade Li Er asked this very common question in later generations, he explained: "There are too many benefits. The cost is saved, and the profit will be much higher; One is that it can shorten the time, pay less wages to the craftsmen, and save a lot of expenses."

Wang Ke said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There is another advantage of cutting corners and materials. After doing so, the quality of the road will definitely be much worse, and the time of use will be shortened. The road can no longer be used. Isn't the court going to use it again?" Do you have to repair a new one, so you can make more money?"

When all the ministers heard what Wang Ke said, their faces turned pale with shock. Comrade Li Er was even more furious. He slammed the case and stood up, and said loudly: "It's unreasonable. If I find out that I have done such a thing, I will definitely take it!" His dog's life!"

As soon as Comrade Li Er said this, all the ministers present showed their approval, only Wang Ke was secretly surprised, he did not expect Comrade Li Er to be so angry.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since the question of how to start the construction has been decided, do you want to think about the specific method now? For example, where should be repaired first, where should be repaired later, and how much money will be needed. These should be arranged in advance. It is beneficial for the Ministry of Households to arrange expenditures, and the Ministry of Industry to arrange construction.”

Comrade Li Er was still angry, he waved his hand fiercely and said: "You go to discuss these matters first, and then report to me to know about it. There is no need to discuss it here. I am tired, you all step back." Said Completely walked away.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, looked at the direction where Comrade Li Er was leaving, saluted and then retreated.

Wang Ke cupped his hands to the group of people and said, "Thank you, uncles, and my nephew will leave first."

Before the group of ministers could react, Wang Ke flew away and disappeared, leaving only this group of people busy again.
