Chapter 203

In the past two days, Li Jing and the others have been busy arranging for the troops stationed in Tuyuhun, but Wang Ke didn't dare to run to them easily. Now the old killers are anxious to get angry every day, don't go alone, a few It would be wronged for Lao Shacai to spread fire on himself.

Wang Ke wandered around various ministries in the past few days, always walking around the courtyard of the third headquarters from a distance. In this way, he got closer to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others.

This day, Wang Ke went to Fang Xuanling and the others as usual. Du Ruhui was recovering from his illness now, and would come here for a few days from time to time. Whenever Wang Ke met them, he would sit down and talk to them for a long time. One is to chat, and the other is to learn something from these two old foxes.

Wang Ke can use his historical knowledge and cleverness to accomplish many things, but he is also very clear that there are many things that cannot be done alone. He can say that he knows nothing about government affairs. If something happens, then I will reveal my secrets, and now I have a good relationship with these old immortals, so I can take this opportunity to learn something from my teacher.

As soon as he walked to the place not far from the door, Wang Ke saw two people walking inside. Looking at the back, the older one looked like Du Ruhui, and the young Wang Ke didn't know him anymore. Wang Ke only knew this. People are definitely not the ministers of the court, because the ministers of the court always wear the official uniform of the court when they come in.

Needless to say, the military officer, the current new military uniform can be seen at a glance, and it also looks energetic when worn. No matter who it is, it is no longer wearing the official uniform of the previous court. No matter how you look at it, it is not as good as the current one. The military uniform looks good.

The civil servants are still in the same official uniforms as before. Although Changsun Wuji and the others have told themselves countless times, Wang Ke also mentioned that they use suits at the beginning, but after thinking about it later, it is not too realistic. After all, this is western clothing, and the shape is not very suitable for oriental people. Although Wang Ke was already wearing it very commonly in later generations, it probably won't be very suitable in this era.

Furthermore, the fabric is also a very tricky thing at this time. It must not be made of silk, it must not work.But what kind of style to draw, this is a bit embarrassing for Wang Ke, he can't figure it out, so he didn't do it for a long time.

When the car arrived at Du Ruhui's side, Wang Ke poked his head out and said, "Hello, Uncle."

Du Ruhui turned his head to see Wang Ke, and said with a smile: "So it's a good nephew, where are you going this early in the morning?"

Wang Ke jumped out of the car, opened the back door and asked Du Ruhui to get in the car before saying: "Where else can I go, why not go to a few uncles."

While talking, Wang Ke looked at the young man sitting next to Du Ruhui from the rearview mirror. His eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat similar to Du Ruhui's. Wang Ke guessed that this was Du Ruhui's second son, Du He.

Wang Ke knew that Du Ruhui had two sons. The eldest son, Du Gou, had already entered an official position. He had worked in other places for the past two years. Now it is said that because of his outstanding political achievements, he was about to be promoted to Cizhou Governor. The youngest son was always by Du Ruhui's side. Marry Princess Shang Chengyang as his wife, and also Comrade Li Er's son-in-law.

Wang Ke asked disapprovingly: "Uncle, is Brother Du next to you?"

Du Ruhui looked at Du He, and said, "It's the old man's young son. I'm not feeling well today, so I asked He to accompany me in."

Wang Ke nodded, and drove the car all the way to Du Ruhui's office door.

After getting out of the car, Wang Ke carefully looked at Du He.Wang Ke knew that this boy belonged to the prince's group. According to historical records, this boy was the most active one when the prince rebelled. Later, due to the failure of the prince's rebellion, Du Gou was demoted to Qiannan, and he was beheaded by Comrade Li Er.But because Du Ruhui was dead at that time in history, and now because of his arrival, Du Ruhui is still alive, I don't know if this kid will still have that fate.

Just as he was about to go forward to have a chat with Du He, Wang Ke saw Li Ke coming out of Changsun Wuji's door.

Wang Ke hurriedly bowed to Du He, walked towards Li Ke and asked, "Aren't you busy dispatching troops these days? You didn't send the produced firearms to the equipment department, why did you come here for a walk?"

Li Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to Wang Ke and said, "You want us to do it in your spare time! It's already been sent there. As for how to arrange it, it's a matter for the generals, and I don't care about it."

Wang Ke saw a few blank sheets of paper in Li Ke's hand, and knew what was written on them. He took them over and looked, but they were a list of materials needed to make firearms.Wang Ke looked at it and asked, "What's the matter? What are you doing here with this thing?"

Li Ke snatched the list from Wang Ke's hand and said: "What else can I do? I have used up all the materials I have in the past few days, and there is nothing left. Why don't you come here and ask some adults to help me?" Transfer some money, I'm going to stop working there."

Wang Ke knew that the troops sent to Tuyuhun this time were equipped in strict accordance with the wartime organization he said. Now Li Ke is already very skilled in the manufacture of firearms, but due to the backward technology, the materials are still There is a certain amount of waste, and once a large amount is required, the material will seem a bit stretched. I didn't expect that this time there is no leftover at all.

Wang Ke pointed at the door of Changsun Wuji's room and asked, "How much did I give you?"

As soon as Li Ke heard Wang Ke's question, his face sank, and he said with a wry smile: "How much more can I give, the amount I planned for this year has already been given to me, and now I want to ask for some more. It's difficult."

Wang Ke listened to him for a long time, but didn't say how much he asked for. She poked his chest and said, "What's the use of talking about it? How much did you give?"

Li Ke spread his hands and said, "I promise to give you [-] catties for each kind."

When Wang Ke heard that each material was only given [-] catties, he felt a little disappointed. According to normal production, this amount of material would be used up in a few days. If so, it would be difficult for the rest of this year. , Come over and ask for it again, I really can’t open my mouth, don’t, then Li Ke can only stop working.If this shutdown occurs, the timetable for the Datang army to equip firearms as planned will have to be extended, which is a great disadvantage to the construction of the army.

Thinking of this, Wang Ke couldn't help but frown a little, but Wang Ke also understood that as long as it could be moved out, Changsun Wuji couldn't just give such a little, after all, the mining industry in Datang is not very developed now.

Li Ke approached Wang Ke, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang, why don't you go and talk to Ke, and give me some more. Now I've run out of time for a few days, and you told me to spend the rest of the time." How to do it."

Wang Ke looked at Li Ke in embarrassment. He also hoped to get more, but he really couldn't tell if he asked himself to open his mouth.

Seeing that Wang Ke didn't speak, Li Ke knew that Wang Ke was also in trouble, but he had reached this point, and there was nothing he could do. Now that Wang Ke was caught, he had to work hard and try his best to get some more out.

Li Ke pulled Wang Ke, turned around and entered Changsun Wuji's door again.Wang Ke has nothing to do at this time, let's talk about it when it's all in, and it's okay to say a little bit.

Wang Ke sat across from Changsun Wuji with a smile, and said in a flattering tone, "Uncle is busy!"

Changsun Wuji saw that Wang Ke came in with Li Ke, and knew in his heart that this was Li Ke pulling Wang Ke to be a lobbyist, and blocked all the roads with one sentence: "Don't get close to the old man, it's useless! Now the court wants to use There are still a lot of places for iron and copper, and I don’t know who to turn to. It’s not because I want to increase troops for Tuyuhun, I need to increase equipment temporarily, or I won’t give you the things I gave His Highness just now.”

Well, before Wang Ke could say anything, he was blocked back by Changsun Wuji. If it was someone else, he would have patted his ass and left, but now it is Wang Ke, as thick-skinned as a city wall How could he give up easily just because of Changsun Wuji's words.

Originally, if Changsun Wuji cried poorly to Wang Ke in soft words, Wang Ke would probably be fine, but Changsun Wuji's hard words like this really gave Wang Ke the idea of ​​having a good talk with Changsun Wuji, In the past few days, Wang Ke had been staying with these old men for a long time, and he also knew something about the government affairs during this period. He happened to hear them talking about these things a few days ago, and now he has become Wang Ke. A sharp weapon in Ke's hand.

Wang Ke couldn't believe it anymore, these people could swallow what he said immediately.Based on Wang Ke's understanding of these people, as long as they say something, they will not deny it immediately, even if there is no witness or physical evidence.

Wang Ke raised his head and asked Li Ke to invite Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui over. Li Ke didn't know what Wang Ke was doing, but he turned around and walked out.Changsun Wuji also put down what he was doing and looked at Wang Ke. He didn't know what Wang Ke was going to do when he called these two people over.

As soon as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui entered, Wang Ke courteously brought chairs for the two of them to sit down, stood among them and said with a smile: "The uncles are here, let's listen to my nephew to say a few words, Ask a few uncles to explain my nephew's doubts."

The three of them didn't know what Wang Ke was up to, they looked at each other without making a sound, and all looked at Wang Ke together.What Wang Ke wanted was this kind of effect. He wanted the three old men to wonder why, so that he could better achieve his goal.

Wang Ke first said to Fang Xuanling: "I don't know if uncle can still remember, but a few days ago, uncle counted down how much copper and iron the imperial court needs to use in the remaining days of this year."

Fang Xuanling didn't know why Wang Ke invited him here suddenly, just to ask this question, he didn't have time to think about it, so he said: "Remember, when I was clearing up the remaining copper and iron in the court with the eldest grandson, the old man asked I calculated the copper and iron that I still need to see if there will be a shortage. Why, is there any problem with my nephew?"

When Wang Ke came that day, he just saw them counting. Seeing that they were busy, he left after a short stay. He didn't know the specific amount of how much was left and how much was going to be used.Of course Wang Ke won't say it now, she just wants Fang Xuanling to say the specific number.

Fang Xuanling didn't know what Wang Ke wanted to do by himself, but Fang Xuanling, who had never been adulterated on these issues, said honestly: "It's iron, the imperial court still has more than 80 catties, and less copper. There is still less than 70 catties. There is not much space to use. According to statistics that day, about 25 catties of iron and 30 catties of copper are needed. Nephew, what is the use of these? what!"

Looking at Wang Ke with a smile on his face, Changsun Wuji felt a chill in his heart, and told Fang Xuanling about Li Ke looking for him just now, Fang Xuanling realized that he was trapped by Wang Ke again Well, when I say this, it is tantamount to telling Li Ke clearly that there is still a lot of wealth.

Fang Xuanling immediately turned to Li Ke and said: "Your Highness, this account cannot be calculated in this way. The calculated figures cannot be taken seriously. You have to leave a surplus to make it. If you take it all away, if it is not enough in the end Oh, the emperor wants to trouble us!"

Fang Xuanling just wanted to make up for his mistakes. He knew it would be difficult to talk to Wang Ke, but it might be easier to talk to Li Ke.Unexpectedly, Li Ke had made up his mind at this time, and he stood aside to watch the excitement, leaving everything to Wang Ke to deal with, and he said that he had spoken up just now and didn't talk to Changsun Wuji, and now he doesn't want to no more.

Li Ke pointed at Wang Ke, and signaled Fang Xuanling to go and talk to Wang Ke. It was useless to talk to himself.

This time Fang Xuanling really had no choice but to face Wang Ke and come to fight Wang Ke.
