Datang all-rounder

Chapter 225

Looking at the large pile of materials he had sorted out on the table, Wang Ke felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should send it directly to Comrade Li Er, or hand it over to Li Ke to make a prototype first.

Wang Ke also thought about sending it directly to Comrade Li Er and asking Comrade Li Er to make a decision. With his influence on Comrade Li Er and Comrade Li Er's ambition to dominate the world, for his own prediction, it must be He will agree to it at once. Maybe Comrade Li Er will urge him to start doing it right away when he is interested, but there is definitely not much left in the treasury now. They were embarrassed, and Wang Ke was still reluctant about this.

If it is given to Li Ke and asked him to make a prototype first, in fact, it is not too different from sending it to Comrade Li Er. It is just a matter of whether Comrade Li Er knows it or not. It seems that there is not much difference in other things. The same is to ask Changsun Wuji and the others to allocate supplies, money and food, but the required amount is less.Now Li Ke's craftsmen are also busy producing artillery, and Li Ke has drawn out a capable team to develop the things Wang Ke contributed. I'm exhausted.

Wang Ke leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the information, really not knowing what to do.

Just when Wang Ke was in a daze, Eunuch Yang stepped in, smiled and said to Wang Ke, "Master Xiao Wang is so leisurely, I haven't seen Master Xiao Wang enter the palace during this time, our family still misses you a little." It's Mrs. Wang."

Wang Ke quickly stood up and saluted Eunuch Yang.For Eunuch Yang's words that he missed him, Wang Ke didn't take it to heart. These eunuchs said the same thing to everyone they met, and it was just a polite way.

However, Wang Ke was a little curious about the purpose of Eunuch Yang's visit today. During this period of time, he had not met Comrade Li Er, and Comrade Li Er had not asked anyone to ask him what he was doing. Wang Ke also understands that during this period of time, nothing major has happened, and everything is proceeding according to the trajectory. Today, Mr. Yang came over suddenly, and Comrade Li Er was definitely not bored, so he sent someone to call Those who go to drink tea and chat by themselves must have something to tell themselves.

Wang Ke pointed to the pile of documents on the table with a smile and said: "Isn't this busy? I'm sorry for your father-in-law's concern. I'm really sorry. When my father-in-law is free, please move and let the boy do something. Please How about a few cups, father-in-law?"

As for Eunuch Yang, Wang Ke knew that if he had a good relationship with him, he would be the first to know what Comrade Li Er was doing.As the saying goes, the mouth that eats people is soft, but the hand that grabs people is soft.As long as Eunuch Yang treats him to a few more meals, he doesn't have to worry about not telling what he knows when he asks.

But, Wang Ke also knows that Eunuch Yang is serving Comrade Li Er. If he wants to come out to eat his own invitation, it is not an easy task. If he said this, Eunuch Yang might not be able to agree. , I can't say that what I said is just a cliché, just let Eunuch Yang feel happy when he hears it.

As expected by Wang Ke, Eunuch Yang laughed and said: "Master Xiao Wang's kindness, our family appreciates it, but we have to serve the emperor every day, so there is no time to go away. When there is a chance, our family will definitely let Xiao Wang Lord Wang, please have a meal."

"Hey, when you have a chance, you probably won't be able to walk anymore. At that time, whether you still remember that I invited you is another matter. Anyway, I invited this guest. As for whether you can come or not, That is beyond my control." Wang Ke said to himself.

Wang Ke said this in his heart, but he said calmly: "Eunuch is working hard, we all know this. I don't know what is the father-in-law coming to find the boy today?"

Wang Ke deliberately did not say that Eunuch Yang was sent by Comrade Li Er, but asked Eunuch Yang why he came here to find him. When I meet Comrade Li Er, I can easily deal with it.

Eunuch Yang didn't notice Wang Ke's little trick at all, he just thought that Wang Ke was asking Comrade Li Er why he sent him here, and hurriedly said: "The emperor asked our family to come over, please go, Mr. Wang, I have something to ask Lord Xiao Wang."

As soon as Eunuch Yang finished speaking, he immediately added: "It's not a bad thing. When the emperor told our family, the emperor's face was full of joy. Maybe it's Mr. Xiao Wang who has something good to do."

What Eunuch Yang added was that he already knew Wang Ke's temperament. Every time he came to call Wang Ke and every time he entered the palace, Wang Ke would ask himself why. Tell him what you know, in case he asks and you still have to say it, it also seems that you will come to trouble.This little lord Wang's influence around the emperor is extraordinary, and it doesn't do him any harm if he makes friends with him.

Hearing what Eunuch Yang said, Wang Ke was also full of confidence. After all, it meant that Comrade Li Er was in a good mood now, and he didn't have to worry about anything unfavorable to him.

Thinking of this, Wang Ke rarely took the initiative to say: "Then Eunuch Yang, let's go quickly, so as not to make the emperor wait in a hurry." Seeing Wang Ke's initiative, of course Eunuch Yang would not say What's the matter, he lifted his legs and came out with Wang Ke, and walked to Comrade Li Er's imperial study.

When Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er, he did not say a word after saluting. He now also knows that every time he sees Comrade Li Er, Comrade Li Er will not immediately get into the subject, and he always asks about other situations before he speaks. The purpose of coming here, since this is always the case, there is no need for me to ask anything, I just wait for Comrade Li Er to ask me.

Sure enough, after Comrade Li Er asked Wang Ke to sit down, he slowly asked: "What are you doing these days, you didn't come to my place, and I heard from Wuji and the others that you didn't go to their place either. Are you busy this time?"

Comrade Li Er's question really made Wang Ke not know how to answer it. I didn't know how to deal with what I had done during this period of time, but now Comrade Li Er asked this question as soon as he came up. , really made Wang Ke a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Wang Ke's ever-changing face, Comrade Li Er was very curious. He didn't know what happened to Wang Ke today. When asked this kind of question before, Wang Ke would immediately tell what he was doing during this time. , but today he looked very embarrassed, unable to answer his own question.Comrade Li Er couldn't help but began to wonder whether this Wang Ke hadn't been honestly doing errands for him during this period of time, but instead went to busy himself with some things.

Thinking of this, Comrade Li Er frowned, and his face changed a little. If it was as he thought, then Wang Ke should be beaten.

How could Wang Ke not see the change in Comrade Li Er's mood? Of course, Wang Ke knew why Comrade Li Er's psychological change was.But now I didn't even think about how to deal with it, so I told Comrade Li Er rashly that it was not my style.

Wang Ke thought about it in her heart, and felt that there was still something to say, but she didn't have to say it in such detail. She said that she hadn't fully thought it out, so she didn't report to Comrade Li Er. When it was completely completed, she would definitely report to him As long as Comrade Li Er knows it, Comrade Li Er won't embarrass himself too much.

After making up his mind, Wang Ke stood up and cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, I have been busy with one thing during this period of time, but I haven't thought about it, so I haven't gone anywhere. I've been busy with this matter every day. , so the emperor and the overweight adults did not see the minister."

"Oh! What are you busy with, kid? Can I talk about it first?"

As soon as Comrade Li Er heard that Wang Ke was thinking about something, he knew that this kid must have some other thoughts. He felt itchy in his heart, and he just wanted to let Wang Ke talk to himself earlier.

Wang Ke hadn't figured out what to say to Comrade Li Er yet, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Your Majesty, this matter that I'm thinking about involves many aspects, it can't be done at once, and it's useless to talk about it now. How about the emperor first talk about what you are looking for today, and then tell the emperor what you think about it, and ask the emperor to broaden your mind for me."

What Wang Ke said was a bit tempting to Comrade Li Er. Comrade Li Er also knew that it was useless to say it without thinking about it. Comrade Li Er just wanted to know the general idea, but now Wang Ke Ke promised to talk to himself in detail after finishing today's business, which also made Comrade Li Er a little eager. Thinking about it again, if Wang Ke said what he was thinking now, if he got into it immediately , can talk endlessly, then needless to say about today's matter, this matter is what Changsun Wuji and the others are worrying about now.

Comrade Li Er hurriedly collected his mood, and said what he wanted to say to Wang Ke: "Boy, it's like this, the tax reform you mentioned before has already passed for several months now. Yes. A few days ago, Wuji and the others specifically compared the tax revenue before and after the restructuring, and found that the income has increased exponentially, but the people have no major opinions. It’s just that there are some differences in the previous clan. Voice, but after all, this group of people is a small group, I have used a little trick, and now there is no more trouble. It seems that the boy's suggestion is still very effective!"

When Wang Ke heard that this was the case, he quickly cupped his hands to Comrade Li Er and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, this is a great thing. The increase in the tax revenue of the imperial court has not caused dissatisfaction among the people. Only the emperor can do this. It is really a good thing." Make me happy!"

Wang Ke's flattery was neither light nor heavy, just right, but it was very useful to Comrade Li Er's ears. Comrade Li Er stroked his beard for a while, and then said: "Now Wuji and the others are with me. Thinking about this issue of taxation, can we dig a little further to see if there is anything missing. You know, boy, that there are a lot of places where the court needs to spend money. Although the increase is not too small now, it can If there is more, the cost of the imperial court will be much more relaxed. I wonder if there is any other way for the boy?"

Wang Ke is sweating profusely now, these monarchs and ministers are too ruthless, this has increased so much taxes, and I still think about how to collect more.Don't be afraid that the common people will be unhappy, and there will be a civil uprising!

Wang Ke said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this tax system is already relatively complete. If you want to increase your income, you can only pay the amount of tax at home, and other ministers can't think of it."

Comrade Li Er shook his head again and again: "It is impossible to increase the quota. Does this not make the people say that I am a tyrant? No, the evidence is right!"

Wang Ke also knew that Comrade Li Er attached great importance to reputation. If Comrade Li Er traded his reputation for a few more money, he would not be willing to kill him.

Comrade Li Er also saw that Wang Ke was in a bit of a dilemma, and asked tentatively: "Think about it again, boy, and see if you can come up with some new taxation that will not increase the burden on the people and increase the income of the court."

Wang Ke really wanted to die now. Comrade Li Er was really cruel. He could think of such an idea, but he didn't have the ability to think of such a way.

Seeing Wang Ke's helplessness, Comrade Li Er still didn't give up: "Is there really no other way? Aren't you a profiteer? You can't even think of this!"

Profiteer!Comrade Li Er thinks too much of himself, himself... wait, business!A thought flashed in Wang Ke's mind, and a word blurted out: "Tariffs! Yes, it's tariffs!"
