Comrade Li Er didn't know what Wang Ke was doing lying on the map, his mouth was still babbling, and his hands were constantly gesturing.

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

Wang Ke looked up at Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is calculating the data, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

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

As soon as Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er's words, he knew that this was a novice, but he didn't dare to laugh at him, so he had to say patiently: "Your Majesty, this is related to how big the ships built by my Datang can be built, without these data, we can't know if the ships we built can be berthed here." If the water here is not deep enough, then it is a thankless effort. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard this, his face also began to become serious, if it is really as Wang Ke said, then it is really a 'waste' of expenses, now the imperial court is not rich, there is not much inventory in the treasury, if you 'spend' a sum of money in vain, it will really be wronged. Thinking about it this way, Comrade Li Er didn't dare to disturb Wang Ke, so he could only stand obediently next to Wang Ke and watch Wang Ke babble there.

Wang Ke calculated for a long time, because there was too much data, and he couldn't remember so much in his mind, so he casually dragged the pen and paper on Comrade Li Er's imperial case and wrote down all the data he calculated on it.

As soon as Yang Gonggong wanted to step forward to stop Wang Ke's behavior, he was stopped by Comrade Li Er's hand shaking again and again, Comrade Li Er knew that Wang Ke could not be disturbed at this time, and if there was a mistake at this time, it would be possible to lose a lot of money to himself. Seeing Wang Ke calculating happily there, Comrade Li Er relaxed his steps and crossed aside, this will also feel that he has been standing for a long time, but it is really uncomfortable, what kind of taste are these ministers like when there were no chairs made by Wang Ke's family before.

Maybe Wang Ke has been lying there for a long time, and he moved unconsciously, only to hear a "bang", Wang Ke dropped the 'hair' pen in his hand and went to 'rub' his knees.

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

Wang Ke said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

Comrade Li Er looked around, except for this imperial case, there was really no other place in the room where Wang Ke could put paper and write, and after thinking about it, he said to Yang Gonggong: "Go, bring the small table that I usually use for records behind me, so that the boy of the Wang family can sit down and write." Reading at zero o'clock"

Only then did Wang Ke realize that what he saw saying that day was recorded, that is, the clerk who had a special 'door' copy behind the screen behind Comrade Li Er. No wonder I didn't see anyone in the room copying it that day, and my words fell on paper.

After Gonggong Yang asked someone to carry Xiao Ji over, Wang Ke thanked Comrade Li Er, and then sat down on a floor mat that he brought with Xiao Ji, crossed his feet and began to calculate again.

After the calculation was easily completed, Wang Ke 'rubbed' his 'legs' that were a little numb due to cross-legged feet and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, after the calculation, ports can be built everywhere, but the ships used in each place cannot be the same, some places can be larger, and some places can be smaller. There is also no need to start construction at the same time, because the treasury of the imperial court should not be able to support the simultaneous construction, so it is necessary to consider where is the most urgently needed, and there can be put in the back. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke's very exciting news, he rubbed his hands excitedly and stepped 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 little by little, what is the depth of the water here, what is the direction of the coastline, and as he spoke, Wang Ke suddenly listened, stared blankly at the front and stopped making a sound.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke's sluggish eyes, shook his hand in front of Wang Ke's eyes, and found that Wang Ke did not move, and felt a little overwhelmed in his heart, and pushed Wang Ke hard and asked, "Boy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Ke reacted at this time, and said anxiously to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers a very important issue, and it must be implemented by Lord Zhang and them as soon as possible, otherwise everything we are doing now is empty talk!" ”

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke said so cautiously, and hurriedly asked, "What is missing?" ”

Wang Ke sighed and said: "It's all strange that the minister didn't think it through at the beginning, and missed a few of the most critical places, please ask the emperor to give Lord Zhang an order to make up for these points, and then punish the minister!" ”

Comrade Li Er waved his hand disapprenously and said, "There is no need for punishment, let's hurry up and talk about how to make up for it." ”

Wang Ke didn't say much, and said: "Please ask the emperor to let Lord Zhang and them hurry up to find out the structure of these locations and see what the coastline is made of; how the water flows; how big the open water is; How wide and narrow is the place in and out. ”

Comrade Li Er didn't understand what Wang Ke said, he only knew that the issue that Wang Ke could attach so much importance to must be very important, and he didn't hesitate, so he called the clerk and wrote it down according to Wang Ke's meaning, and 'handed it over' to Yang Gonggong to send to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Only then did he turn back to Wang Ke and ask, "Are these questions more important than what we know now?" ”

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

Wang Ke said: "Yes. Your Majesty, these are to let us know if we can build a port on this site. If it is a hard structure, that is to say, it is a mixture of stone or stone and earth, and the proportion of stone is larger, so that we can save a lot of money in building it, and if it is all earth, it can be repaired, but it will be time-consuming and will cost more silver. As for the latter points, they are for the future of the ship, and it is not clear now, so it is better to wait for Lord Zhang and them to report these questions back, and then the minister will explain it slowly to the emperor. ”

Comrade Li Er didn't understand it after listening to it for a long time, but he asked again because of his bad face, and now when he saw Wang Ke say this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

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

Wang Ke has actually been thinking about Comrade Li Er's question for a long time, but he has never known what Comrade Li Er thinks, and he doesn't know what news the people sent out can bring back.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he still has to invite several relevant adults to come over and talk about it in person." There are a lot of things without them, but there are some problems, we can't know, it's not too appropriate to say, it's better to wait, send someone to invite a few adults to come over and discuss it later. ”

Comrade Li Er was silent for a moment and said: "That's right, it's still more convenient to come, if there are any problems, they will be solved on the spot, and they will save themselves from running back and forth a few times, and they will be delayed on the road." ”

waved to Yang Gonggong, and Comrade Li Er told Yang Gonggong who was the person who needed to be called, and said to Yang Gonggong, and asked him to hurry up and call him, and sit down after walking back to the imperial case.

Wang Ke felt a little hungry at this time, and arched his hand to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to go home and eat something first, the minister has not eaten at all since he got up in the morning, and he is really hungry." ”

Wang Ke didn't say that it didn't matter, this said that he was hungry, and Comrade Li Er immediately felt that his stomach was also a little hungry.

Waving his hand at Wang Ke, Comrade Li Er said, "Boy, don't go back." I'm feeling a little hungry now, so I'll let the imperial kitchen 'get' something for me, and the boy will accompany me to eat something, and when a few of my Aiqing come, I'll start immediately. You kid won't let me and a few Aiqing wait until I go back to eat! ”

Comrade Li Er thought that this would save time, and when these ministers came, they would hurry up and talk about things, and Wang Ke would definitely agree.

Who knows that when Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er's words, he shook his head as if he was something, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, the ministers should go back and eat." ”

Comrade Li Er is a little strange now, this Wang Ke is an outlier, others heard that the emperor invited him to accompany him to dinner, and they all agreed with sincere fear, but this kid didn't give himself face at all, and he had to go home to eat! Even if his family's food tastes good, is the food in this palace so unpalatable? But this kid hasn't eaten it either!

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

Wang Ke hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's not about the taste or anything, it's just that the minister is worried about eating with the emperor, and the minister won't be able to eat enough!" ”

Wang Ke's thoughts in his heart are very simple, he is like this in the TV series he saw in later generations, none of the ministers who accompanied the emperor to eat were not trembling, let alone full, it seems that he has not moved any chopsticks, with Wang Ke's eating appearance and 'sexual' personality, he has not been laughed to death by Comrade Li Er.

Now Wang Ke can be regarded as able to grasp a little bit of Comrade Li Er's 'character' character, for this kind of trivial matter, even if he says it directly, Comrade Li Er will not care about himself, so he simply says it directly, lest he have to use his brain to think of some excuse to find a reasonable reason for himself. In Wang Ke's opinion, this is really too troublesome.

Wang Ke's words made Comrade Li Er choke at once, although he also knew that the minister couldn't eat much with him, but no one would say it, and today Wang Ke said it directly, Comrade Li Er's face was still a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Comrade Li Er didn't care too much about this kind of trivial matter, and said stupidly: "It's not that I won't let you eat it, you can eat it as much as you like." Won't I let you eat it? ”

When Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er's statement like this, he was not polite, and hurriedly thanked him, and as soon as the eunuch put the food on the table, he didn't greet Comrade Li Er, so he ate by himself.

Comrade Li Er had no choice in the face of his 'daughter-in-law', shook his head with a wry smile, and walked over to eat.

At this time, it was already past the meal, and there were not many things sent up, and the eunuchs also knew that Comrade Li Er and Empress Changsun were also very thrifty people, if there were too many things on it, they would be scolded, and what came up today was not much more than what Comrade Li Er ate on weekdays, but Comrade Li Er had not eaten anything, and everything had already gone into Wang Ke's stomach.

Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?" The minister hasn't eaten yet! ”

Comrade Li Er was driven by Wang Ke like this, and his appetite today was really much better than usual, and he hadn't eaten much, so he would be even more hungry, so he called the eunuch and asked him to hurry up and serve some more food.

Just as the two of them were happy to eat, Gonggong Yang also walked in with a group of ministers.
