Chapter 130: The Road (1)
After waiting patiently, Wang Ke finally waited for the good news, although the ships going down from the canal experienced a lot of 'twists' and turns in the canal, but they still successfully reached the disaster-stricken areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and the materials transported were safely delivered to the affected places, and now they have begun to be distributed to the victims.
Wang Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, his idea did not have a problem, it was already a great thing, after all, he also knew that the current shipping industry is still just starting, most people are still used to taking the land route when transporting things, and the waterway 'traffic' is not so habitual.
Wang Ke has a very good understanding of the road after coming to the Tang Dynasty, it is better in Chang'an City, as long as he wants to go to his own village, it will be more troublesome, not to mention the dirt road, due to the perennial crushing of the carriage, all the way to the past is bumpy, if it rains or after the rain, then this road is not called the road, it is completely a muddy pool, and there is no place to put your feet.
Chang'an as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the road is still like this, Wang Ke can know from here that the road of the whole Tang Dynasty will not be any better, this transportation of materials is a good example, if the weather is bad, the transportation of materials and the mobilization of the army will be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Wang Ke inexplicably had an impulse, he was used to driving in later generations, and he was also very attentive to the road conditions.
But how to start, but Wang Ke is a little difficult, after all, building a road is not a trivial matter, in the later generations, to build a road will use a lot of machinery, in this era of nothing, this is a very difficult thing.
Wang Ke found the national 'traffic' atlas that was in the car when he crossed, and looked at the general map in front of him in a daze, he wanted to get some inspiration from here, so that this thing could be done more easily.
While he was meditating, Nanping ran in and asked strangely, "Isn't the general going out today?" It's all this hour, and I'm still sitting at home. ”
Wang Ke shook his head silently, and put the 'traffic' atlas into the 'drawer' before saying: "I'm thinking about whether I should carry out a renovation of the roads in the whole country, if it is still such a road, then it will be a big problem in the future, whether it is the transportation of materials or the transfer of troops." ”
Nanping sat down and asked with great interest: "The general tells me what you think, let the concubine listen." ”
Wang Ke sat down, held his chin in his hand and said: "You have also seen the delivery of money and food this time, this rain, the road will not be able to walk, if there is an emergency, to mobilize the army or something, it will not delay things; When the army fights, the grain and grass cannot be supplied in time because the roads are not smooth, and the soldiers don't have to fight hungry? How big is this! ”
Nanping also felt that this problem was a bit serious, and asked anxiously: "What should I do?" Can't you just change it? What is the best way for the general, he has to report to his father as soon as possible, so that he can change this situation earlier. ”
Wang Ke said with a wry smile: "I'm just worried about how to do it, the requirements for manpower and financial resources to build roads are very high, I have just settled down in the Tang Dynasty, and the financial resources of the imperial court are not enough to support such a big project, and it is also a problem in terms of manpower, so we can't let the people build roads without farming." ”
What Wang Ke said is the truth, all aspects must be balanced, and ignoring any aspect will cause catastrophic 'sexual' consequences, which is definitely what Wang Ke does not want to see.
Nanping didn't know what to do for a while. After a long time, Nan Ping muttered, "Then what should I do?" Isn't there a way to solve this problem? General, you had so many ideas in the past, can't you think of one today? ”
Wang Ke's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, and he said distressedly: "It's not that I can't think of a way, there is really no way to think about it." The relationship between these aspects is too big, and it is not so simple! ”
As soon as Wang Ke said this, Nanping immediately said: "Why don't the general go to his father and talk to him first, and let his father find a way to deal with all the relationships, anyway, this matter must be done with the consent of his father, and the court will dispatch it, right?" ”
Wang Ke lowered his head, and while cleaning up the things on the desk, he said: "Yes, I'll go talk to the emperor first, see what the emperor's attitude is, and then talk to those adults to see how it works." This thing should be done in the head, otherwise it will not be good to delay things in the future. ”
When he came to the imperial study, Wang Ke didn't see the figure of Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke felt very strange, this Comrade Li Er stayed in the imperial study on weekdays, how could there be no one today.
In desperation, Wang Ke had no choice but to ask the deacon eunuch in the imperial study, he didn't know if he didn't know, and when he asked Wang Ke, he knew that this Comrade Li Er didn't come to the imperial study today.

Wang Ke has no choice, it is not up to him to decide whether Comrade Li Er will come or not, and he is hesitating whether to report it, so the eunuch said to Wang Ke very cleverly: "Lord Wang, you wait first, our family has not heard anything in the palace, it is estimated that the emperor just thought that it was okay today, so he did not come out in the palace." When our family goes in to inform the emperor, Lord Wang asks to see the emperor, and the emperor will definitely come out. ”
When Wang Ke saw this eunuch say this, he thought that he had already come, and it would be a trouble to go back and wait for a while to come again, so he agreed to come down, walked into the imperial study and sat down, waiting for Comrade Li Er to arrive.
After a while, Comrade Li Er turned in, and when he saw Wang Ke, he said: "I still want to be okay today, and I want to be lazy for a day, so your kid is here." If there's anything, let's talk about it. ”
Wang Ke hurriedly confessed his guilt, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister has something he wants to play with the emperor, and he asks the emperor to decide." ”
Comrade Li Er leaned back in his chair and asked a little lazily, "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. Don't you kid have any idea again? ”
Wang Ke told Comrade Li Er what he said to Nanping at home, and Comrade Li Er frowned and said, "This is a problem. But what should I do? ”
Wang Ke asked cautiously: "I don't know what the emperor thinks about this matter?" ”
Comrade Li Er thought for a while before saying, "This thing must definitely be done. It's just that what you're saying now is the truth, and I don't know what to do, boy, what do you think you should do now? ”
Wang Ke said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the ministers have not figured out a clue about this matter, and with the opinions of the ministers, they still have to invite Lord Fang and them to discuss together." ”
Comrade Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is very important, and it is good to have a few more people to discuss." After speaking, he called Yang Gonggong on the side and told him to quickly invite the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian to come and discuss together.
Wang Ke 'interjected' and said: "Your Majesty, do you see if you call Zhang Liangzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also call it, after all, this is also a matter of the Ministry of Industry." ”
Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said, "Then let's call it together, and there are many people who can say more ideas." "Gonggong Yang was ordered to go.
Wang Ke watched Gonggong Yang walk out of the imperial study, and then said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, it seems that something is wrong with Lord Du recently, is he sick, and please ask the emperor to let Lord Du pay more attention to his body." ”
Hearing this, Comrade Li Er also said with some concern: "Yes, I have also told him a few times, let him rest and rest." But there are a lot of things going on during this period of time, and Du Qing is so busy that he can't rest. Hey, when these things are over, we have to let him rest for a while and recover from his illness. ”
The two were chatting energetically, and Gonggong Yang walked in with a few people.
Comrade Li Er waited for a few people to salute him, and then pointed to Wang Ke and said: "The boy of the Wang family has an idea, I just told me, I think it is better to call all Aiqing to discuss it, and see what you Aiqing thinks." ”
When several ministers heard Comrade Li Er explain the reason for calling them, they all looked at Wang Ke together.
Wang Ke had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Comrade Li Er, and while saying it, he was still scolding himself in his heart: "It's really stupid, just write it directly into a strip of Chen, you have to run to say it with your mouth, you can't say it dry after you finish it, and you don't know how to leave some saliva to nourish the 'spirit'!" ”
After listening to Wang Ke's introduction, everyone lowered their heads and thought about it, and combined with the events that have happened recently, they also feel that it is very necessary.
For the current road, everyone here is deeply aware that this rain, the road is particularly difficult to walk. At the end of the day, a pair of shoes is so dirty that it can be said that I can't even distinguish my nose and eyes. However, if we really want to build roads, there are many problems to be solved, and it is not so easy.
Comrade Li Er didn't speak when he saw it, and he didn't feel a little anxious, so he had to start asking by name: "Zhang Aiqing, you are the Ministry of Industry, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Liang saw that Comrade Li Er had named him, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't thought about it yet, should you let the other adults talk about it first, and then talk about it when the minister thinks about it." ”
Comrade Li Er turned his head and asked, "Whoever has figured it out, let's talk about it first." ”
At this time, I saw Fang Xuanling and several ministers muttering a few words, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, just now the ministers discussed it with a few adults, and the ministers thought that this matter should be done, but the specific affairs involved, the ministers did not think about it in detail, and they had to think about it carefully." ”
Fang Xuanling's words affirmed that Wang Ke's proposal was very necessary, and on the other hand, he also vaguely said that they had a lot of doubts in their hearts, and they could not reach a conclusion on whether it could be implemented.
Wang Ke understood the meaning of this, and hurriedly said: "The kid is not sure, so he asked the emperor to invite the adults." After all, this person has many longs and one short, so I have to ask you to come up with more ideas. ”
Zhang Liang said at this time: "This road is said to be repaired, and now it is not very convenient for the imperial court to transport money and grain, or to mobilize soldiers and horses, not to mention the people walking and the transportation of merchants' goods, which is very inconvenient." But the old man also thought carefully, if this road is really to be built, how to build it, this is a big problem. ”
When Wang Ke heard this, he 'interjected' and said: "The kid thinks that this road surface should be hardened, not just loess like now, but should be poured with rainwater, not a layer of mud." ”
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." However, if you want to do this, you can only use stones to pave the ground, which is good for a short time, but after a long time, the soil at the bottom will turn up, which is even worse than now. What to do at that time? These questions need to be considered in advance. ”
Zhang Liang's words made Wang Ke shut up at once, he really didn't expect this, but this is objective. If you can't do it once and for all, then it's better not to do it, if you just start it casually, and it doesn't make any sense to do some useless work.
