Datang all-rounder

Chapter 178

Comrade Li Er didn't know what Wang Ke was doing lying on the map, and he was still muttering and making gestures with his hands.

Comrade Li Er asked strangely: "Boy, what are you doing?"

Wang Ke looked up at Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I am calculating the data, please forgive me."

Comrade Li Er didn't know what the data was calculated for, so he asked, "Is there any use for this calculation?"

As soon as Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er's words, he knew that this was a noob, but he didn't dare to laugh at him, so he had to patiently say: "Your Majesty, this is related to the size of the ships built by my Tang Dynasty. There is no such data. , we can't know whether the ships we have built can be parked here. If the water depth here is not enough, then it will be a waste of effort."

When Comrade Li Er heard this, his face also became serious. If it is true what Wang Ke said, it would be a waste. Now the court is not rich, and there is not much stock in the treasury. Money, then it is really wronged.Thinking about it this way, Comrade Li Er didn't dare to disturb Wang Ke anymore, he could only stand obediently beside Wang Ke and watch Wang Ke muttering calculations there.

Wang Ke calculated for a long time, because there were too many data, and he couldn't remember so much at once, so he dragged the pen and paper from Comrade Li Er's case, and wrote all the data he had calculated on it.

Eunuch Yang just wanted to step forward to stop Wang Ke's behavior, but he was stopped by Comrade Li Er who repeatedly waved his hands. Comrade Li Er knew that Wang Ke could not disturb at this time. If there is a mistake at this time, it is possible It's a huge loss of money.Seeing Wang Ke doing calculations there, Comrade Li Er lightened his steps and started to cross. He also felt it at this moment. It’s been a long time, but it’s really uncomfortable. There was no such thing as Wang Ke’s family before. What are these ministers like when they are in the chair?

Maybe it was because Wang Ke had been lying there for a long time, and she moved a little unconsciously, only heard a "clang", Wang Ke dropped the brush in her hand and went to rub her knees, no need to ask, a discerning person can understand at a glance, Wang Ke Ke must have touched the corner of the imperial case.

Comrade Li Er walked over immediately and asked with concern: "How is it? No problem."

Wang Ke said sadly, "Your Majesty, it's all right."

Comrade Li Er looked around. Apart from this imperial case, there was really no other place in the room for Wang Ke to put paper and write. Bring me a few, so that the Wang family boy can sit down and write."

It was only then that Wang Ke realized that what he saw that day and what he said was recorded, that is, behind the screen behind Comrade Li Er, there was a clerk who specially copied it.No wonder I didn't see anyone transcribing in the room that day, so my words fell on the paper.

After Eunuch Yang asked someone to bring Xiaoji over, Wang Ke thanked Comrade Li Er for his kindness, then sat down on a floor mat brought together with Xiaoji, crossed his feet and started counting again.

After the calculation was finally completed, Wang Ke rubbed his legs that were numb due to cross-legged legs and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, after the calculation, ports can be built everywhere, but the ships used in each place cannot. Similarly, some places can be larger and some places can be smaller. Also, it is not necessary to start construction at the same time, because the imperial court's treasury bank should not support simultaneous construction, so we must consider where is most urgently needed and where You can put it in the back."

Comrade Li Er heard the exciting news of Wang Ke, rubbed his hands excitedly and walked forward, asking Wang Ke to give him a detailed explanation.

Wang Ke picked up the data on the small table, pointed to the map and told Comrade Li Er bit by bit, what is the depth of the water here, and what is the direction of the coastline? Come down, stare blankly at the front and stop making a sound.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke's sluggish eyes, shook his hands in front of Wang Ke's eyes, and found that Wang Ke hadn't moved, he felt a little overwhelmed, pushed Wang Ke hard and asked, "Boy, what's wrong with you? "

Only then did Wang Ke come to his senses, and anxiously said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, I think of a very important issue, and Master Zhang and the others must implement it quickly, otherwise everything we are doing now will be empty talk!"

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke was speaking so cautiously, so he hurriedly asked: "What is missing?"

Wang Ke sighed and said: "It's all my fault that I didn't think carefully at the beginning, and missed a few most critical points. Please, the emperor first order Mr. Zhang to make up these points, and then punish the minister!"

Comrade Li Er waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Punishment is unnecessary, let's hurry up and talk about how to make up for it."

Wang Ke didn't say much, and said: "Please ask Master Zhang and the others to take the time to find out the structure of these places, to see what the coastline is made of; how the water flows; how big is the open water surface; .”

Comrade Li Er didn't understand what Wang Ke said. He only knew that the issue that Wang Ke paid so much attention to must be very important. The meaning was written down and handed over to Eunuch Yang to send to Zhangsun Wuji.

Turning around, he asked Wang Ke: "Are these issues more important than what we know now?"

Wang Ke already knew that Comrade Li Er didn't understand anything, so he had to explain it to him.

Wang Ke said: "Yes. Your Majesty, these are to let us know whether we can build a port at this location. If it is a hard structure, that is to say, it is a mixture of stone or stone and soil, the proportion of stone should be larger. In this way, we can save a lot of money when we build it; if it is all made of soil, it can be repaired, but it will consume labor and time, and we will spend more money. As for the latter points, it is for the future The ship has considered it, but I can’t explain it clearly now, let’s wait for Master Zhang and the others to report these questions back, and then I will explain to the emperor slowly.”

Comrade Li Er didn't understand after listening for a long time. He just asked again because of his face. Now seeing Wang Ke say this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

However, Comrade Li Er felt that this matter was not over yet, so after thinking about it, he asked: "Now that this matter has some clues, the court should consider what to do next. You can't think about the next step until everything is ready. How to do it."

Wang Ke has actually been thinking about the issue of Comrade Li Er for a long time, but he has never known what Comrade Li Er thinks, nor does he know what news the person sent out will bring back. There was not much difference, and Comrade Li Er had already thought about this issue, so Wang Ke began to consider formally bringing this matter up.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to invite the relevant adults to come over and talk about it in person. Without them, we can't know about these things even if there are some problems." , It’s not too appropriate to say it, why don’t you just wait and send someone to invite some adults over to discuss it later.”

Comrade Li Er was silent for a while, and said: "That's right, it's more convenient for everyone to come here. If there is any problem, it will be solved on the spot, and it will save you running back and forth several times and wasting time on the road."

After beckoning Eunuch Yang, Comrade Li Er asked whoever needed to be called, and told Eunuch Yang to call him quickly, and then walked back to the case and sat down.

Wang Ke felt a little hungry at this moment, and cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go home and eat something first, I haven't eaten anything since I woke up in the morning, I am really hungry. "

It doesn't matter if Wang Ke doesn't say that he is hungry, Comrade Li Er immediately feels that his stomach is also a little hungry.

Waving to Wang Ke, Comrade Li Er said: "Boy, don't go back either. I feel a little hungry now, so I will ask the Royal Kitchen to bring me something, and the boy will accompany me to eat, and I will treat some of my lovers As soon as you come, it’s better to start right away. How long will you let Zhen and a few loves wait when you go back to eat!"

What Comrade Li Er thought was that this would save time. When these ministers came, he would hurry up and talk about the matter, and Wang Ke would definitely agree.

Who knew that Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er's words, but shook his head like something, and said: "Your Majesty, I'd better go back and eat."

Comrade Li Er is a little strange now, this Wang Ke is an anomaly, when others heard that the emperor asked him to accompany him to dinner, they all agreed with trepidation, but this kid didn't give himself any face, and insisted on going home to eat!Even if his family's food tastes good, is the food in this palace so unpalatable?But this kid has never eaten it!

Thinking of this, Comrade Li Er asked: "Why do you have to go home to eat? Is the food here so unpalatable to you?"

Wang Ke quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it's not about the taste, but I'm worried that if I eat with the Emperor, I won't be full!"

The idea in Wang Ke's heart is very simple. It is the same in the TV series he has seen in later generations. None of the ministers who accompanied the emperor to eat was not trembling. Comrade Li Er couldn't laugh at Wang Ke's food and personality.

Now Wang Ke can be considered to be able to grasp a little bit of Comrade Li Er's character. For such a small matter, even if he said it directly, Comrade Li Er would not care about him. Think of an excuse in your head to find a plausible reason for yourself.In Wang Ke's view, this is really too troublesome.

Comrade Li Er choked on Wang Ke's words. Although he knew that the minister would not eat much with him, no one would say it. Today, when Wang Ke said it directly, Comrade Li Er This face is still a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Comrade Li Er didn't care too much about such a trivial matter, and said bitterly: "It's not that I won't let you eat it, you can eat whatever you like. Don't tell me I won't let you eat it!"

Hearing Comrade Li Er's attitude, Wang Ke was impolite, and quickly handed over his hands to thank him. When the eunuch put the food on the table, he didn't greet Comrade Li Er, and started eating by himself.

Comrade Li Er couldn't do anything about his son-in-law. He shook his head with a wry smile, walked over and started eating.

It was already past meal time when we moved here, and there were not many things sent up. The eunuchs also knew that Comrade Li Er and Empress Changsun were also very frugal people. If they brought in too many things, they would be scolded , what came up today was not much more than what Comrade Li Er usually ate. As a result, Comrade Li Er hadn't eaten anything, and everything had already entered Wang Ke's stomach.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er eagerly and asked: "Your Majesty, is there any more? I haven't had enough yet!"

Driven by Wang Ke, Comrade Li Er's appetite is much better today than usual. He didn't eat much at all, and now he looks even more hungry. He called the eunuch and asked him to bring some more food quickly. .

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, Eunuch Yang also walked in with a group of ministers.
