The days seem to have returned to the calm of the past, and whoever should do what is going to do it himself, Wang Ke still wanders around all day long, accompanying his wife at home from time to time, so that Comrade Li Er, who has been secretly watching whether Wang Ke will find the prince to make trouble, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On this day, Wang Ke was still lying on the 'bed' and refused to get up, but who knew that someone came to report that Comrade Li Er had sent someone to summon him into the palace.

Wang Ke scolded in his heart, this Comrade Li Er is too bad at looking at the time, when is this, according to the timekeeping method of the Tang Dynasty, it is almost noon, according to the modern time, that is, it is almost eleven o'clock in the morning, seeing that Wang Ke is about to get up 'bed' for lunch, at this time he came to call him into the palace, it seems that he does not want him to eat, and he has to be hungry for a day.

Wang Ke slowly got dressed, wiped his face briefly, and followed the people from the palace to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, and after saluting Comrade Li Er, he just straightened up and yawned.

Wang Ke hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, he knew from the TV that such an action could be regarded as rude in front of Comrade Li Er, and if Comrade Li Er wanted to punish himself, he would be wronged.

Comrade Li Er glanced at Wang Ke, didn't care, just said lightly: "I haven't woken up yet!" What did you do last night? ”

Wang Ke didn't expect Comrade Li Er to ask himself like this, and he blurted out before he had time to think about it: "I didn't do anything." Your Majesty, you also know that this princess is pregnant with a child, and the courtiers have to get up in the middle of the night to cook something for her. ”

"Oh?"

Comrade Li Er was a little interested now, his eyes moved from the fold on the imperial case to Wang Ke and asked, "You still get up at night to cook food for Nanping?" Isn't there a subordinate? Why do you want to do it yourself? ”

Comrade Li Er knew that Wang Ke was "very good" to his two "daughters", but he didn't expect it to be so good, so he would get up from the bed in the middle of the night and cook for them in person, without pretending to be someone else's hand.

Wang Ke's words have already been spoken, although he also knows that in this era, men will not do anything in the kitchen, but he comes from later generations, and he has never cared too much about this concept, and he also feels nothing about his wife.

Now Comrade Li Er asked, Wang Ke felt that it was okay to talk to Comrade Li Er on this issue, no matter what, this Comrade Li Er was also Nanping's father, how could a father not be happy to hear that his 'daughter' was good.

Wang Ke replied: "Your Majesty, this person who is pregnant with a child has to eat less and more often, and he can't eat too much at a time, it will be uncomfortable." Well, in the evening, eating something soft and soft is good for the body, but you can't eat too much, just have a full seven. I'm going to do it myself to be familiar with the heat, besides, it's midnight, why bother to wake up the others, they've been tired all day, just let them rest a little longer, anyway, it's not bothersome. ”

Comrade Li Er's understanding of Wang Ke has added another one at this time, he didn't expect Wang Ke to take care of his subordinates in the same way. However, remembering the appearance of Wang Ke in the last disaster in Jiangnan, Comrade Li Er also believed that Wang Ke was such a person, and he was infinitely bad, but he was still a kind person in essence, but his usual behavior made people who didn't know him not see it.

Comrade Li Er began to admire his two 'daughters' at this time, their eyesight is much stronger than their own, and they took a fancy to this man who looked very ordinary at a glance, and now it is proved that their choice is correct, and it is rare to have such a man who is good to himself.

Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er looking at him and laughing, and he didn't know what was wrong with him. After all, when I got up today, I just washed up briefly, maybe I didn't wash it somewhere, and at this time, Comrade Li Er saw it and was laughing at himself.

Wang Ke wiped his face with his hand, looked at the military uniform he was wearing, and didn't find anything wrong, so he asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the minister?" You keep looking at the minister like this, and the minister is a little panicked! ”

"Ugh." Comrade Li Er was 'excited' by Wang Ke's voice, and only then did he wake up from his contemplation, but he didn't hear what Wang Ke said just now, so he had to ask: "Boy, what did you say just now, I didn't hear it clearly, you say it again." ”

Wang Ke pursed his lips and dared to say anything to himself, this Comrade Li Er didn't pay attention, and he didn't need to express his wrong feelings if he knew it. There was no way, Wang Ke had to repeat it again.

When Comrade Li Er heard this, he laughed, and said while waving his hand: "No, no. I just laughed at one thing at my own time, and it has nothing to do with you kid. ”

Comrade Li Er would definitely not tell Wang Ke what he just thought, and he was afraid that if he said it, Wang Ke's tail would not reach the sky.

After Comrade Li Er finished laughing, Wang Ke hurriedly asked, this time is delayed, Comrade Li Er is not hungry, he is going to be hungry, he hasn't even eaten breakfast, if he wants to carry it like this, Wang Ke can't bear it.

As soon as Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er's laughter showed signs of stopping, he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what is the matter with calling the ministers into the palace today, and I ask the emperor to give orders!" ”

Only then did Comrade Li Er remember that he had something to do with asking Wang Ke to come into the palace, so he hurriedly stopped laughing, took out a book of folds on the imperial case, handed it to Wang Ke and said, "Boy, take a look, this was handed in yesterday." ”

When Wang Ke heard what was handed to Comrade Li Er yesterday, he didn't know what it was, and thought to himself: "It won't be that I will be impeached again!" I haven't done anything during this time. ”

As soon as he opened it, Wang Ke frowned.

He remembered that he couldn't understand it, Wang Ke was really not used to the tone of this language, with his cultural level, he was basically illiterate in this era, the only thing that was better was that he could still know a few words, and he could write a few strokes when he picked up a pen.

Of course, he knew that those poems were not his own, and he could read them out to others, but he still knew that they were not his own.

However, Wang Ke remembers a sentence very well: stealing books cannot be regarded as stealing...... Steal books! …… Can the things of the reader be regarded as stealing? I'm still a scholar here, how can I steal books! But it doesn't seem to be a good thing, so how can I say it, yes, borrow! Borrow it.

When Wang Ke was discussing this issue alone, Comrade Li Er's voice came to his ears: "Boy, haven't you finished reading it for so long?" ”

Wang Ke doesn't pretend now, he knows that it's useless to pretend, this is for you to say your opinion, I don't understand what it means, and I can't pretend if I want to.

Wang Ke said clearly: "Your Majesty, I've finished reading it, but the minister doesn't understand what it means." ”

Comrade Li Er smiled bitterly and said, "You kid is really, I don't understand, what's going on with you." Forget it, I'll tell you. I'm anxious to see you like that. ”

Wang Ke didn't feel embarrassed, and handed the fold to Comrade Li Er's hand, and Comrade Li Er talked to Wang Ke while looking at the fold.

From Comrade Li Er's explanation, Wang Ke learned that this excerpt had been sent back by several ministers who had been out for a year and had arranged to find and build the port.

After listening to Comrade Li Er's interpretation, Wang Ke looked up at the sky and did not speak, he had to think about it, he felt that what was said in this fold was very different from what he knew.

In his impression, the places he pointed out were good places to build ports. Wang Ke was puzzled by this question, and after thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ke simply didn't want to think about it, and said directly to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, do you have a map of these places?" I want to see it. ”

Comrade Li Er was unprepared for Wang Ke's request, so he had to ask Wang Ke to wait, called Yang Gonggong, and asked him to hurry to Wang Si and them to find a map.

After Gonggong Yang left in a hurry, Comrade Li Er asked puzzledly: "Boy, what do you want to do on the map, aren't they still clear enough on this fold?" ”

Wang Ke shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you don't feel anything just by hearing it, if you can look at it against the map, you will know much more than just listening." As the saying goes: hearing is false, seeing is believing! The minister doesn't know much about the distribution of my Datang now, and he doesn't know the situation in various places now. ”

Comrade Li Er nodded and did not ask again.

After a while, Gonggong Yang came back, holding several white silks in his hand, and Comrade Li Er frowned and said, "I asked you to take the map, why didn't you bring it." What's on your hands? ”

Gonggong Yang bowed to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, they are looking for a map, and the villain is holding a detailed topographic map of several places that Lord Zhang and they sent back with the excerpts. ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is good, Lord Zhang, they are too serious, this is more useful than any map!" ”

Wang Ke snatched the white silk from Yang Gonggong's hand as he spoke, and he didn't care so much, so he stepped in front of Comrade Li Er's imperial case in one step, opened a few white silks, and saw that the direction of mountains and rivers, the distribution of towns, and the coastal terrain were drawn in detail. What excites Wang Ke the most is that the map actually indicates the depth of water in various places along the coast, although it is an ancient marking method, Wang Ke will not be afraid, he can't understand, and he can also call those workers in his village, and convert it to what he can understand.

Wang Kemeng slapped Comrade Li Er's imperial case and said loudly: "Okay, such a detailed map will be of great help to us in deciding where to set up a port!" ”

When Comrade Li Er saw Wang Ke applauding repeatedly, he knew that this must be very useful, and asked Wang Si, who had just entered the 'door', "Why didn't these maps be sent to me along with the folds?" ”

Wang Si was stunned, he didn't expect Comrade Li Er's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, the ministers just want to wait for the emperor to read the excerpt and need to see the map before sending it, so as not to be caught in it and 'break' or lose it." ”

Comrade Li Er's face was only then eased. In fact, Wang Si and the others didn't think of so much at all, they just thought that it would be enough to show Comrade Li Er the excerpts, and this map was useless.

How do you know that your son wants to look at the map, and he can't find the whole map of Datang for a while, so he wants to use these few to resist it first, and he will send it in as soon as he finds the whole map. As a result, he was reprimanded by Comrade Li Er when he came in, but fortunately, Wang Si reacted quickly and covered it up like this.

Wang Ke was now immersed in the map, and his eyes kept moving from one map to another, repeatedly comparing the evaluations of several officials on several places that Comrade Li Er had explained to himself just now.

What Wang Ke has to do now is to screen out two or three locations according to the evaluations of these officials and the maps in his hands, and ask Comrade Li Er to order the construction of military ports to establish the naval forces of the Tang Empire.
