Datang all-rounder

Chapter 53

When Wang Ke walked into the front hall, Li Ke stopped him and said, "Come on, teach me how to play this."

Wang Ke walked over and saw that he had opened the game "Darkness", Wang Ke said: "Don't worry, I'll come after I arrange the food and drinks. The emperor is waiting!"

As soon as Li Ke heard that Comrade Li Er was waiting, he didn't dare to hold Wang Ke any longer.Wang Ke came to the kitchen and came out after arranging things. He explained the gameplay of the game to Li Ke bit by bit, and taught him for a while.Li Ke was a little on the road, and started playing by himself.

Wang Ke stood aside, pointing from time to time, and both of them exclaimed from time to time.Li Ke lamented that he was about to die, but Wang Ke was surprised at how Li Ke made a mistake again, and couldn't help but shouted at him what he should do.The two were startled, and attracted Nanping and Lanling, who had measured their sizes, over.

Seeing Dongyue standing behind the two princesses, Wang Ke beckoned her to come over and asked, "Have the two princesses been measured?"

Dongyue blushed and said: "It's all measured, Dongyue will do it now." Wang Ke shook his hand and said: "Don't do it today, it's not urgent, let's do it in two days."

Seeing the three beautiful women standing aside and watching Li Ke play, Wang Ke felt a little distressed.These three people are all his wives, but now they are all standing aside with nothing to do.No, I have to help them find something to play with.After much deliberation, Wang Ke thought of mahjong.This thing has infinite changes, and it is the most time-consuming.

right!Just make a pair of mahjong, first make a simple one, and let Carpenter Yang make a more refined one when you have time later.

Called Dongyue, asked her to go back to the house to get a tape measure and a folded saw bow, ran to the housekeeper herself, asked the housekeeper to find some wood blocks, arranged for the housekeeper to saw the wood blocks into the size specified by her, and used a pen Draw a tube on the top.Seeing that Wang Ke was making something again, Mrs. Wang also joined her.

After Wang Ke was done, he said to the four women: "I made a simple thing, you can play with it first, and I will make you a good one when you have time later."

Talk about the gameplay.Due to time constraints, Wang Ke only talked about the Chongqing way of playing mahjong, that is, overthrow Hu, just play Hu cards, no matter what, it can be said that the rules in mahjong are the simplest.After a while, a few people understood it, and couldn't wait to sit down and play.In the first few rounds, because I was not very familiar with the gameplay and rules, I asked Wang Ke to be the referee several times. After I got familiar with it, Wang Ke was thrown aside and ignored.

Seeing that several people had already entered the roles, Wang Ke stopped moving forward, but stood beside Li Ke, watching Li Ke play games.Compared with mahjong, Wang Ke still thinks this can arouse his interest more.

At some point, Wang Si came out with Comrade Li Er, and saw that the two groups of people in the front hall were playing their own games, and they were all having fun.

Comrade Li Er saw the things he had never seen before, so he called Wang Ke curiously, and asked with a strange face: "Boy, how many things do you have that I don't know? I have nothing to do today. Brighten it up for me!"

Wang Ke was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, your problem is very difficult for me. I don't know what the emperor doesn't know, so let's take it slowly. The emperor will see what I will. I just learned a little bit because I was interested in many things, but I only know a little bit of a lot of things, and I really don’t have any proficiency!"

Comrade Li Er said in disbelief: "Everyone who sees what you show is a good thing, but you still say it's just superficial. If you say it like this, wouldn't it be great to be proficient in it?"

As soon as Wang Ke heard what Comrade Li Er said, he felt that he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start it. Comrade Li Er asked, and he just said it himself, so he said seriously: "Your Majesty, to be honest, what I know is true." It’s just superficial, it’s just that I approach the problem differently from the extreme west side, that’s why the emperor thinks that what I know is novelty. In fact, it’s not. The minister is also proficient."

Comrade Li Er became even more curious at this time, sat down and said to Wang Ke: "Boy, tell me well today, and I will also hear what is going on." Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er and said: " Your Majesty, I guess the food and drink are almost ready, so let’s talk slowly after eating. Hehe, my royal family can’t bear the responsibility of starving the Emperor.”

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke said this, and he felt a little hungry, so he agreed: "Alright, I will listen to you after eating. Then eat first, and you will have the strength to speak when you are full."

While talking, the food and drink were set up. Mrs. Wang led a group of women from the Wang family and accompanied the two princesses into the backyard for dinner. Wang Gui and his son accompanied Comrade Li Er and his son to the dining room.

After the three of them sat down, Wang Ke said: "Your Majesty and Your Highness, please use it first. I will go outside and greet the guards in the palace. They will come right away."

Comrade Li Er shook his hand and said, "You don't need to go, I didn't bring anyone with me today, only my father and son came out, so don't worry about it, kid."

Wang Si was so frightened that he quickly said: "Your Majesty, how can you go out of the palace without a guard! How can I be responsible for this matter?"

Comrade Li Er said relaxedly: "In this peaceful world, is there anyone else who is not good for me! Besides, I came here in Ke's car, and no one knows."

Seeing this, Wang Ke hurriedly said to Wang Si: "Father, don't be in a hurry. No one knows that the emperor is in our house. After the emperor returns to the palace, the child will send it off in person. It is expected that nothing will happen. Let's eat now. .” He said and poured wine for everyone.

Comrade Li Er wanted to listen to what Wang Ke had to say to him, so he took a few mouthfuls before stopping his chopsticks.

Seeing Comrade Li Er put down his chopsticks, Wang Ke knew that the meal was over.But I was not full yet, so I asked, "Your Majesty, is the food not to your liking? Why do you eat so little?"

Comrade Li Er waved his hands and said: "The food tastes good. I want to eat more, but I can't hold it in my stomach anymore, so I have to stop chopsticks. Hurry up and eat. It's good to hear the boy from the Wang family talk about him." .”

Wang Si and Li Keben wanted to eat some more, but seeing that Comrade Li Er had stopped eating, they had no choice but to stop.

Wang Ke didn't care so much, he ate by himself, and said in his mouth: "That's right, I must be full, or I don't have the strength to say it after a while. Your Majesty, I ate at my house today anyway, and I'm full." It is also a meal, if you are not full, it is still a meal, this name is memorized, I think you should eat more."

Comrade Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Good boy, it seems that I will be at a loss if I don't eat some more. Well, I will eat some more, I really like the taste of this dish."

Wang Ke said this because he saw that Wang Si and Li Ke hadn't eaten well. No one dared to say this, but if he said it himself, Comrade Li Er would probably not be angry.

Sure enough, Comrade Li Er picked up the chopsticks again.Seeing that Comrade Li Er started again, Wang Si and Li Ke started to eat too, and this time they were no longer as gentle as before, and they also ate big mouthfuls.They were really afraid that Comrade Li Er would put down his chopsticks again, and they really didn't eat this time.A few people ate lively, and without much effort, everyone ate to their stomachs.

Comrade Li Er rubbed his belly and said, "I really can't take it anymore. Is the Wang family kid ready? Let's start talking after eating."

Wang Ke asked someone to remove the food and drink and serve tea.It started with a few people sitting in the dining room.

Wang Ke straightened his mind and said, "Your Majesty, in our dynasty, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are the most important. What do scholars do? What do you read? Read the books of sages! But what can these so-called scholars do after reading books? Poetry and painting. I have nothing else to do! It’s not that I disapprove of reading, but the purpose of reading should be to serve the country. But what about these scholars? The superiors cannot share the worries of the emperor, and the inferiors cannot govern the land and the people.”

Wang Ke paused and saw that Comrade Li Er was listening to his speech with a peaceful face, so he said: "Nong: planting agriculture, the foundation of the country; Gong: making things, embroidering houses, laying bridges and roads; and Shang: running around , from south to north. Let the products of various places circulate throughout the country. These three types of people are hardworking, but their status is low and they are discriminated against by officials."

Wang Ke sighed and said: "In the extreme west, all industries pay equal attention to each other and cooperate with each other. Each industry has a more detailed division of labor, and each subject has a dedicated person to study it. New technologies are continuously applied to all industries. In the industry, people from all walks of life can also read and write, learn various skills, and choose a career that they like in the future. This is why I know a thing or two about various things."

Comrade Li Er became more interested, and said, "Boy of the Wang family, talk about it in detail, and say what you think of. Today is just a chat, no matter right or wrong. I am very interested in your affairs in the extreme west."

Wang Ke tried to explain the social division of labor in later generations slowly: "Your Majesty, when I was in the far west, children began to enter schools for systematic learning at the age of five or six. There are two types of arithmetic and geometry; and I thought it was just some special skills of Taoism, which are also divided into two categories of physics and chemistry, which are divided into many small categories, all of which are researched by special personnel. "

"And the way of farming and mulberry is divided into many subjects for research and improvement. The industry of engineering is even more detailed. The light repair category is divided into house construction, house interior (exterior) decoration, and repair. Bridges, paving, and a few chunks."

"Everyone does their own thing. In this way, the scope of knowledge acquired is narrowed, but the sense of professional acceptance is more refined and more specific. It is conducive to the improvement of the craftsman's operational skills, and as the subject learned , can only be regarded as the foundation.”

Wang Ke spoke for a long time in one breath, took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, people from all walks of life in my court use these things, but they don't pay much attention to them on weekdays, so I don't feel it. Your Majesty is wise, we I believe that as long as we pay equal attention to all walks of life, under the leadership of the emperor, we will definitely grow stronger very quickly."

Comrade Li Er thought carefully about Wang Ke's words, and after a long time he asked, "Boy of the Wang family, from your point of view, who is stronger in Jixi and our dynasty?"

Wang Ke is not easy to answer this question.What Wang Ke said is all about later generations. History has gone through more than 1000 years of changes. How can they be compared together?Wang Ke was in a dilemma.

Seeing that Wang Ke remained silent for a long time, Comrade Li Er couldn't help urging him: "It's okay if you say so."

Wang Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, it is really difficult for me to answer this question. The development of the two places is different, and the course of experience is also different. In terms of territory, my Tang Dynasty is bigger than Jixi. In terms of development, there are some things I can learn from the experience of Jixi."

Comrade Li Er nodded thoughtfully and said: "Boy of the Wang family, no matter what happens in the future, you can write a report to me if you have any thoughts on it. considerate."

Comrade Li Er's words moved Wang Ke very much.

It is said in history that Comrade Li Er is open-minded and knows people well.At this time, Wang Ke really saw it.Comrade Li Er's love for the country and the people is no worse than those leaders in later generations.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I will never only care about myself, and will definitely do my best for the Tang Dynasty. In order to repay the emperor's favor for the minister!"
