Chapter 129: The Canal

The busy and chaotic days have finally gradually decreased, although they are still busy, but they are not as busy as in the past, they are not as busy as in the past, and they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. Wang Ke can also be lazy from time to time, such as going out late, going home early or something.

This morning, Wang Ke was still lying on the 'bed' and didn't think about the 'bed', so he saw Dongyue walk in with a few Di newspapers, and as soon as he walked to the 'bed', Wang Ke stretched out his hand and pulled Dongyue down on the 'bed', holding Dongyue with one hand, and the other hand was swimming on Dongyue's body, and a stinky mouth also leaned towards Dongyue.

Dongyue struggled and said in a low voice, "General, don't. This is Sister Nanping's room, if Sister Nanping comes in, it won't be good to see it. ”

Wang Ke was actually just teasing Dongyue, and when he saw Dongyue say this, he stopped by the way, but he still put his arm around Dongyue's waist and asked, "Early in the morning, why did you come here?" ”

Dongyue Yang Yang said in the Di newspaper in his hand: "Isn't this for the general to send this?" ”

Wang Ke said disappreciatively: "Isn't it just a few copies of the Di newspaper, it will not be long before I put it in the study, and I will naturally go to see it when I get up in a while, so why do I need to get it here." ”

Dongyue said with a smile: "It was Sister Nanping who asked me to bring it here, saying that the general would get up when he saw this." It seems that Sister Nanping didn't say anything right. ”

Wang Ke is a little strange now, on weekdays, Nanping puts the newspaper sent directly into the study, and he can see it as soon as he goes to the study, how can he let Dongyue send it to his room today?

Wang Ke felt a little wrong from this abnormal situation, and asked unconsciously: "Did your sister Nanping take a look at it after receiving this?" ”

Dongyue tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying: "My sister only read one copy and asked the concubine to send it to the general, but I didn't read anything else." ”

Wang Ke knew that Nanping knew how to read, and it seemed that there must be something different from usual in this newspaper today, and he no longer laughed with Dongyue, turned over and sat up.

He took the newspaper from Dongyue's hand and asked, "Which one did Nanping read?" ”

Dongyue pursed her lips and said: "I don't know about this concubine, after my sister saw it, she stacked everything together and asked the concubine to send it up." ”

Wang Ke stopped talking, got up and got out of bed, and went straight to the study.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Ke couldn't wait to open the newspaper and read it, the first one didn't say anything, that is, some of the things that the court did on weekdays, Wang Ke looked at it and threw it aside, he has never cared too much about these things, he just wants to see what is going on now, so that Nanping is so anxious to let himself know.

After reading a few Di newspapers, Wang Ke didn't feel that anything was very important, looking at the several Di newspapers spread out on the desk, Wang Ke didn't understand why Nanping was so anxious today.

Wang Ke decided to ask Nanping what made her so anxious.

After washing, Wang Ke walked downstairs with a few newspapers in his hand, and stood in the living room looking around, but he didn't see a figure of his wife.

Wang Ke stood blankly, he didn't know where these 'women' would be now, he wanted to look for them, but he really didn't want to move, think about it or forget it, or sit down and wait.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Ke opened a few more reports, he planned to take a good look at it, what made Nanping so anxious. Turning over and over, Wang Ke read it twice and didn't see anything worth seeing, thinking about it, if there was really any big thing, it wouldn't just be written in this newspaper and sent over, but I was afraid that I didn't know who would come to the 'door' and ask myself to go to the palace or some ministry to drink tea.

At this time, Wang Ke felt a little hungry, and casually threw the newspaper on the sofa, and Wang Ke walked to the kitchen.

Their family is now accustomed to Wang Ke's habit of not getting up in the morning, and getting up to get up and not necessarily eating, everyone in the morning no longer goes to Wang Ke to get up and eat, just eat by himself, leave some in the kitchen, Wang Ke gets up to eat and goes to the kitchen to find it by himself, it's okay if he doesn't eat, someone will naturally clean it up there.

Walking into the kitchen, Wang Ke came to the place where he usually put food for him, and when he opened it, there was a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles.

Wang Ke was too lazy to go to the table outside, so he took out a pair of chopsticks and stood there to eat.

Just when Wang Ke was eating happily, there was a burst of laughter from outside the back 'door' of the kitchen, Wang Ke walked over curiously, looked out through the gap in the hidden 'door', and realized that his three wives had come here.

Wang Ke pushed open the 'door' and shouted to Nanping: "Nanping, come here, I have something to ask you." ”

Wang Ke's voice startled the three of them, and after seeing that it was Wang Ke, he patted his 'chest' with his hand and walked towards Wang Ke.

Wang Ke chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and asked, "Why did you come here, so that I can find it." ”

Nanping explained with a smile: "Mother-in-law said that it is a pity that this is so ridiculous, and the concubine is discussing with her two sisters how to use this land." ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard that it was for this, he immediately stopped talking, for him, as long as he was not allowed to do it, he had no opinion on what to do here.

Wang Ke turned around and walked out, he was really afraid that his wives would be in dispute, and if he wanted to give his own idea, he would really put himself in it.

The three 'women' didn't know that Wang Ke was going out because of the idea, and thought that Wang Ke had something to say to Nanping, so they all walked out together.

Wang Ke pointed to the newspaper on the sofa and asked Nanping, "Why are you in a hurry to let Dongyue send this to me?" I've watched it several times and I don't see anything very important. ”

When Nanping heard that Wang Ke was asking him about this, he didn't say anything, he bent down, found a copy he had seen in it, handed it to Wang Ke and said, "The general will take a closer look." ”

Wang Ke took it and read it carefully, this newspaper was copied by the imperial court, and the military supervisor who escorted the money and grain allocated by the imperial court to the disaster area and the relief materials donated in the capital sent it to the imperial court. The above shows that due to the bad weather, the team going south suffered from the muddy roads after the rain, and the march was very slow, and it was estimated that it could not reach the designated place at the specified time.

Wang Ke looked at Nanping puzzled, patted the newspaper in his hand and said, "There is no problem, it's normal, there's nothing strange." ”

Nan Ping said with a serious face: "Isn't the general able to think of some way to remedy it at this time?" It's a life-saving thing, and the sooner you arrive, the more lives you can live, and if it's delayed, you don't know how many people will die. ”

Nanping's words made Wang Ke's heart feel like he had been pricked by a needle, he didn't expect that Nanping was so anxious to save more people, so he asked Dongyue to report the mansion to his hands, hoping that he could come up with a remedy.

Wang Ke's nose was a little sour, he understood Nanping's thoughts, Nanping did not forget that there were still people starving and freezing because she was worry-free, although she did not say any heroic words, but she also used her heart to silently do her part for these people who were suffering.

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "It's me who was wrong, I didn't think of this." I'm going to figure it out right away and see if I can come up with a solution. ”

Nanping lowered his head slightly, saluted Wang Ke and said, "I hope the general can come up with a way." The concubine thanked the general for the people first. ”

Wang Ke pulled Nanping up, didn't speak, just nodded heavily, turned around and walked upstairs.

In the study, Wang Ke walked around the desk, unable to sit down, not because he didn't want to sit, but because he really couldn't sit still. Nanping's words came to his ears from time to time, making him feel unable to sit down peacefully.

After thinking about it for a long time and not coming up with a clue, Wang Ke felt very bored, and unconsciously walked to the small 'dew' platform outside the study and stood there, looking directly at the 'flower' garden in the courtyard.

The 'flower' garden was already lush with branches and leaves, and the fragrance of 'flowers' was everywhere, Wang Ke's mood relaxed a lot, and his eyes couldn't help but look around. As his eyes turned to the pond in the 'flower' garden, Wang Ke only felt that his eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.

Wang Ke couldn't help but shout: "There is a way!" I've figured it out! As he screamed, he turned and ran downstairs to the house.

When the three 'women' heard Wang Ke's shout, they all ran out, only to see Wang Ke rushing out unusually, leaving them with only a fleeting back. Nanping knew that Wang Ke had already thought of a way, and his heart that had been hanging was also put down, and he returned to the house with Lanling and Dongyue with a smile.

Wang Ke came all the way to the palace, and came directly to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, stepped into the 'door' of the room, and did not wait to salute Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the team transporting money and food is moving slowly now, and you have to think of other ways." ”

Comrade Li Er was concentrating on looking at the folds in his hand, Wang Ke's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he was also a little dazed, he looked up at Wang Ke, and then said, "What did the kid say, tell me again." ”

After Wang Ke repeated it again, Comrade Li Er sighed and said, "I'm also anxious about this matter, but there is no other way." It's just sending another team, and it's not the same result. ”

Wang Ke said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this land route is not easy to walk, we can take the water route." ”

"Waterways?" Comrade Li Er was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "What waterway and how to go?" ”

Wang Ke was not polite, picked up the 'hair' pen on Comrade Li Er's imperial case, briefly sketched the direction of the Tang Dynasty's waterway on the paper, pointed to the Grand Canal connecting the north and south, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, at this time, the Grand Canal built by the previous dynasty, and now the imperial court's escort team cannot travel smoothly due to the rain, why can't we change our thinking and use this Grand Canal to transport the materials of the imperial court to the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

Comrade Li Er looked at the map drawn on the paper and was silent for a while before he said: "The idea is not bad, but now the team is not close to this canal, and if you want to go to the edge of the canal and then transfer it, wouldn't it take as much time as it does to travel like this?" ”

Wang Ke smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this problem has already been thought of by the ministers. We can't hope that the current escort team will do this, but we must order all localities along the canal to pay for grain according to a certain proportion, and load it on ships to be shipped to Jiangnan first. The escort team sent by the imperial court no longer marched to Jiangnan, but turned to the banks of the canal, returning the money and grain escorted by the current escort team to the local governments, which was not enough for them to transport to Jiangnan in advance. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke's words, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to call Yang Gonggong and ask him to immediately go and call the eldest grandson Wuji and others to discuss whether Wang Ke's method was feasible.

After all the cadres arrived, Comrade Li Er asked Wang Ke to say his idea again, and it was immediately unanimously approved by everyone, and Fang Xuanling couldn't stop praising Wang Ke for this method, which created a new idea of transporting materials and deploying troops.

Wang Ke said modestly again and again that this is just a coincidence, and it all depends on the influence of the emperor and uncles on him in the past, and everyone here is extremely comfortable in their hearts.

In this pleasant atmosphere, one after another the holy decrees requesting all localities along the canal to allocate money and grain in advance to be transported to Jiangnan were written, and Comrade Li Er hurriedly sent them out after running out of seals.
