Chapter 137: Exhortation
After receiving the news from Li Jing and them, after their side knocks during this period of time, Wang Ke estimated that Comrade Li Er should have some thoughts in his heart, and he knew that it was time for him to appear.
Wang Ke pretended that nothing had happened and that he didn't know anything, and came to Comrade Li Er's imperial study.
As soon as he walked into the imperial study, before Wang Ke had time to salute Comrade Li Er, Comrade Li Er beckoned: "Okay, don't salute, you come to see these few folds, what do you think!" ”
Wang Ke hesitated for a moment, and asked with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty, this piece is for you to see, how can the minister be qualified to watch it." If the emperor has anything, just let the ministers do it. ”
Comrade Li Er waved his hand very irritably and said, "What is there to do, now Li Jing and what they reported make me very embarrassed, and I don't know what to do." ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er say this, he immediately knew that Li Jing and a few of them had nothing to do in the past few days, and they had given Comrade Li Er a fold, kept talking about difficulties, and 'made' Comrade Li Er what he is now.
Wang Ke was secretly amused in his heart, but he didn't show a little 'show' on his face, but asked with a very worried look: "Lord Li, what did they say, making the emperor embarrassed like this." ”
Comrade Li Er picked up a few notebooks in front of him, handed them to Wang Ke and said, "Read it for yourself." ”
Wang Ke still didn't look daring, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to look at it." ”
At this time, Comrade Li Er was a little annoyed, and said sharply: "If you look at it, you can see it, where is there so much nonsense." After reading it, tell me what you think! ”
Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er was really angry, so he quickly took the folds and opened them one by one to look at them carefully.
The folds are full of literary language, which is completely different from what he speaks on weekdays, and Wang Ke even guessed with 'Meng', so he knew a rough idea. But Wang Ke just didn't look at it, and he also knew the potential meaning of these twists and turns, and the purpose of his current reading was to pretend to be invited in front of Comrade Li Er, and the other really wanted to see how these old killers found reasons for themselves, and when he said it later, he could follow their meaning, so as not to say it badly.
Comrade Li Er saw Wang Ke cover up and asked, "Have you finished reading?" If you have any ideas, tell me quickly! ”
Wang Ke pretended to be very ashamed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand the format of this kind of writing in my dynasty, and I haven't fully understood it after reading it for a long time, but I just understand the general meaning." Please also ask the emperor to think about it and then answer the emperor. ”
Only then did Comrade Li Er remember that Wang Ke didn't understand this kind of writing, and couldn't help laughing: "You kid writes poetry well, why is it so incomprehensible to writing, it really makes me wonder." Well, think about it quickly, and talk to me about it. ”
Wang Ke turned around in the study, he was not thinking of any way as Comrade Li Er said, but thinking about how he should talk to Comrade Li Er about this matter. He also knew that this ban on the people of the Tang Dynasty not being allowed to go abroad was still a ban drawn up by Comrade Li Er, together with Zhongshu Province and 'Men' Xia Province, when Li Yuan was the emperor and Comrade Li Er was in office as Shangshu Order.
With Comrade Li Er's 'character' personality, this is absolutely impossible, but although Li Jing did not explicitly say that this ban was bad in his recital, it did indeed cause a great obstacle to the current situation, and Comrade Li Er himself understood this. What Wang Ke has to do now is nothing more than to let Comrade Li Er let go of his worries and resolutely ban this ban, so that the people of Datang can freely enter and leave the border of Datang just like foreigners who travel to and from Datang.
Wang Ke thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of how he should start this, and finally decided that he could only use the way of guidance, and let Comrade Li Er talk about this topic first, and he just saw the tricks, so that he could also grasp the psychological changes of Comrade Li Er very well, and would not leave himself with unexplained questions, after all, Comrade Li Er is also very smart, and it is not good to let him understand it if he talks too much.
Wang Ke looked up at Comrade Li Er and said, "What does the emperor think about this?" ”
As soon as Comrade Li Er heard this, he immediately understood that Wang Ke had begun to play tricks with him again, and said without the slightest expression on his face: "Let you say your opinion, and ask me what to do?" I don't have an opinion! ”
Wang Ke is a little blind now, this Comrade Li Er refuses to 'reveal' a little bit of his thoughts, this is called how Wang Ke starts, if what he says is contrary to Comrade Li Er's thoughts, then it will be a big deal.
When Comrade Li Er saw Wang Ke standing there with a bitter face, he didn't feel a little anxious, and said angrily: "Say, what are you doing in a daze!" ”
Wang Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these things are not a big deal, as long as one thing is solved, everything will be solved." ”
"What? Isn't it a big deal? Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke with some surprise and asked, "Then what do you say that if you solve these things, it is not a problem, and it can be solved?" ”
Wang Ke was really 'forced' into a corner by Comrade Li Er, if you don't want to say it, it is completely impossible to listen to Comrade Li Er's thoughts first, and now he has no way back, so he can only say his thoughts and let Comrade Li Er decide.
Wang Ke gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, Lord Li and their few twists and turns are all about one thing, that is, except for the personnel of our court, no one is allowed to leave the country. This ban has made it impossible to do a lot of things now. Master Li, they can't go against the ban to do things, and everything is what it is now. ”
Comrade Li Er stared at Wang Ke and said in a flat tone: "You mean to abolish this ban, and these things can be solved." Is that right? ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ke couldn't care about it, anyway, he had already said it, and now Comrade Li Er had to kill or kill him. Wang Ke looked at Comrade Li Er's face and wanted to see something from his face, but Wang Ke was disappointed, Comrade Li Er's face did not have a trace of expression 'waves', as calm as if nothing happened. Wang Ke could only wait, waiting for Comrade Li Er to deal with him.
Comrade Li Er was silent for a long time before he said, "Is there no other way than to abolish this ban?" ”
Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er was not angry, and said with a sigh of relief: "How can I say it, it is impossible to say that there is no other way, but it is too dangerous to do that." ”
Comrade Li Er put his hands on the table, leaned forward and asked, "What way?" Let's start with that. ”
Wang Ke said slowly: "Your Majesty, please see, Lord Li, what they are concerned about is the terrain and environment of the countries around our dynasty, as well as the distribution of cities and towns. There is also the situation of the road, these things except for the people of our dynasty, no one else will help us to do it, if we are not allowed to freely enter and leave the borders of our dynasty, then we can only secretly send people to the surrounding countries to carry out this activity, once this is discovered, the consequences of which needless to say, the emperor should also be clear. ”
Comrade Li Er nodded with a heavy face and said: "This is indeed a problem, can't you go out as a businessman by pretending to be a common man?" ”
When Wang Ke heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and Comrade Li Er glared and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Isn't that possible? ”
Wang Ke put away his smile and said: "Your Majesty, if the ban is abolished, this method will be feasible, but if the ban is not abolished, it will never work." ”
"Why?" Comrade Li Er was a little puzzled.
Wang Ke explained: "Your Majesty, all countries know that our dynasty does not allow our people to leave the country, and the trade between various countries and our dynasty is completed by merchants from various countries. If a caravan of our dynasty suddenly appeared in the flatland, no one would suspect it, and check all the way, then how could it complete the task. ”
Comrade Li Er was stunned for a moment, but he forgot about this stubble.
Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er was a little stunned, and said with a hot iron: "Your Majesty, besides, all countries are very yearning for the goods of our dynasty, but because of this ban in our dynasty, all the money has been earned by merchants from various countries, and our dynasty only receives a little tax, if the merchants of our dynasty can also enter and leave the country at will, then the tax revenue of our dynasty will definitely increase significantly." It is only natural that the imperial court should send people out to understand everything. The imperial court can also 'hand' over some things to merchants in disguise, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”
Comrade Li Er became interested and asked: "How to 'hand' it over to the businessman?" ”
Wang Ke came to the imperial case and said, "The distribution of towns, the geometry of the population, and the roads can all be completed by merchants. Because merchants want to sell goods, these are the things they must know, and when we need to know these things, we can know them as soon as we ask, and the people sent by the court can concentrate on other things. ”
Comrade Li Er nodded thoughtfully, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Wang Ke knew that Comrade Li Er was thinking, at this time, it was best for him to sit next to him and keep quiet, let him think through the relationship, if he rashly interrupted his train of thought at this time, the matter would be messed up, so many people would be wasted, and he would have tried his best to perform this big show.
After a long time, Comrade Li Er finally spoke: "Is there no other way to solve this problem than to abolish the ban?" ”
Wang Ke knew that Comrade Li Er had begun to waver, shook his head and said, "No." Your Majesty, the ministers know the emperor's thoughts, but they are afraid that this ban will be abolished again before it has been implemented for a long time, and some people will say that the emperor's decree will be changed every day. In fact, the emperor doesn't have to worry, at least the people will not object, and they are not in a hurry to be happy. As for the ministers in the court, I don't think the emperor has to worry about them, this plan has never changed fast at this time, and now the situation is different from before, this law is not suitable and needs to be revised, not to mention such a ban. ”
Wang Ke thought for a while and said, "Besides, can this ban definitely be imprisoned?" I don't think so! Now, if we investigate carefully, it is estimated that many smugglers can also be found. It is better to block than to be sparse, since it cannot be eliminated, it is better to let go. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be happy? ”
Wang Ke's words made Comrade Li Er transparent at once, and a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Wang Ke, Comrade Li Er said: "It seems that this matter must be resolved, but I can't make this decision right away. I still have to talk to Fang Aiqing and them again. The stakes are too high to be taken lightly. ”
When Wang Ke heard this, it was like being struck by lightning, he didn't expect that he had 'spent' so much time and spent so much speech, thinking that he had completely moved Comrade Li Er, and this matter had been completely resolved. Who knows that this Comrade Li Er is so stubborn, and he still hasn't made up his final decision. But after thinking about it, Wang Ke was immediately relieved, this is not a big problem, he immediately went to report those old killers, let them find those old ghosts, and then talk about it himself, do the work in front, I don't believe that Comrade Li Er is not in the trap!
Thinking of this, Wang Ke hurriedly said: "It's still the emperor who thinks about it thoroughly, and the minister is better than it." Now it seems that the emperor has nothing to do with the ministers, please allow the ministers to retire! ”
Comrade Li Er waved his hand, Wang Ke hurriedly bowed and withdrew, and as soon as he turned around, he went to Li Jing.
