Chapter 125: The Flood

Busy, tired! Wang Ke didn't feel anything else during this time, so he had a deeper understanding of these two words.

The training of the special investigation team and the joint-stock enterprises run by the 'women' all gave him no time to relax every day.

Wang Ke devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of the special investigation team, one reason is that he has to be responsible for the things he 'made', and the other is that he really wants to do things well. With Wang Ke's 'sexual' personality, if you don't do it, you have to do your best to do it.

And the joint-stock enterprise engaged in by the 'women', Wang Ke did not expect that it would be 'made' like this, and it actually attracted several princesses to join in.

With Wang Ke's original idea, that is, to let his wives not have nothing to do all day long, and after a long time, he was idle, and he happened to meet Li Ke who was also there, so he just pulled him to play with him by the way.

But now the situation has completely changed, now not only his wife and two aunts are involved, but also four princesses, now Wang Ke is really playing, and he has put away his mind of playing at the beginning, and he really took this thing seriously.

Wang Ke is really a little unbearable now, after all, people's 'fine' power is limited, and when it has been running at full capacity, even if it is an iron beater, it will feel that it needs to be repaired.

On this day, Wang Ke dragged his tired body back home, and as soon as he entered the living room, he threw himself on the wooden sofa in the living room and didn't want to move.

Hearing a noise, Mrs. Wang, who was arranging for someone to cook in the kitchen, walked out, saw that it was Wang Ke, looked up at the 'door', and then asked Wang Ke: "Ke'er, where is your father!" Didn't you come back with your dad? ”

Wang Ke said weakly: "The child went to the special investigation team early in the morning and was not with his father. Why, hasn't Dad come back yet? ”

Wang Ke said as he raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and found that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, according to the normal commuting time, Wang Si should have been sitting at home drinking tea at this time.

Wang Ke thought for a while and said: "Mother, don't worry, probably because the emperor has something, my father delayed it, and I will come back after a while." ”

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "But in the past, your father would send someone back to say hello when there was something, but no one came back today to say anything." ”

Mrs. Wang's words immediately reminded Wang Ke that as long as there is something on weekdays, Wang Si will definitely call an entourage to come back and say something, but today, according to Mrs. Wang's words, no one will come at all.

Wang Ke sat upright, his head spun quickly, analyzed all the possibilities that might arise now, and finally came to the conclusion that something had happened in the court. And it's a big deal, Wang Si is so busy that he doesn't even have the time to come out and ask someone to go home and bring the letter.

Because with the current status of the Wang family in the court and Comrade Li Er's trust in his family, Wang Ke can't think of any other reason, with Wang Si's prudence, it is impossible to make any mistakes that will make Comrade Li Er lock him up and not even let him go home.

Wang Ke stood up, didn't care how uncomfortable his body was, and said while walking out: "Mother, the child went to the palace, it is estimated that something happened, and the child should also go and see." ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang went out of the room and wanted to stop Wang Ke to say a few words, Wang Ke had already walked out of the backyard and couldn't see anyone.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house, muttering, "This old one hasn't come back yet, and this little one has left again." This meal is ready, and I still can't eat it. ”

"Mother-in-law, who are you talking to, is the general back?" Mrs. Wang was bowing her head and complaining, and Nanping's question sounded in her ears.

Mrs. Wang raised her head and looked, but it was Nanping who led Lanling and Dongyue down, and it was estimated that it was also the conversation between herself and Wang Ke just now, and they heard it before they walked down.

Mrs. Wang replied, "Yes, Ke'er has returned, and I heard that his father has not returned to the house, so he is in a hurry to enter the palace again." He said that it was estimated that something had happened to the Asari, and that he had to go and see it. ”

The three 'women' originally heard that Wang Ke came back and went out, but she didn't have any expression, after all, Wang Ke was doing things for the imperial court, and it was normal for her to come back and go out again. But Mrs. Wang said that Wang Ke estimated that something had happened to the court, which made them a little relieved, especially Nanping and Lanling, their princess status, so that they have more sensitive nerves than ordinary people, and they are more concerned about things above the court.

The hearts of several people were lifted, and there was no longer the ease and comfort before going downstairs just now, sitting on the sofa, all of them showed a trace of worry on their faces.

Just as Mrs. Wang and Nanping were talking, Wang Ke's car had come to the palace 'gate', Wang Ke took out his waist card and shook it towards the inner palace guards, and the car rushed in without slowing down.

When he came to the place where the officials of the DPRK and China placed the sedan chairs and horses on weekdays, Wang Ke saw that there were still several sedan chairs still parked in place, Wang Si's sedan chair was also among them, and several sedan chair drivers were sitting around chatting, Wang Ke stopped the car and stepped forward.

Wang Si's palanquin man saw the young master coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

Wang Ke didn't wait for the palanquin man to salute him, and asked directly: "Hasn't the master come out yet?" ”

The palanquin man hurriedly replied: "As soon as I came in the morning, I haven't seen the master come out until now, and just now Lord Changsun, Lord Fang and Lord Du also came together." By the way, there are also tall people who have also entered the palace. ”

Wang Ke frowned, these important ministers of the court have all entered the palace, and they must be almost the same as they expected, but what tall man is this?

Wang Ke asked unconsciously, "Which tall adult?" ”

"Lord Hubu Shangshu Gao Shilian Gao." The palanquin man replied.

Wang Ke nodded slightly, he felt that things would not be small. The sedan chair man who 'handed over' Wang Si went back to the house first, and Wang Ke got back into the car and drove the car directly to Comrade Li Er's imperial study.

Wang Ke understood that if he wanted to discuss something at this time, Comrade Li Er and these ministers must be in the imperial study, and it would be right for him to go there directly.

When he came to the imperial study, Wang Ke entered the 'door' and saw that Comrade Li Er and several ministers were all 'pale' solemn, and their eyes were full of worry.

After stepping forward to salute Comrade Li Er, after Comrade Li Er let himself stand up, Wang Ke silently walked to the opposite side of several civil officials and sat down.

I only heard Comrade Li Er ask at him: "Why did the boy of the Wang family enter the palace at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Ke stood up, arched his hand to Comrade Li Er with a serious face, and said, "Your Majesty, when the minister went home, I heard that the minister's father was still in the palace and did not come home, so I came to pick him up. But when I heard that several uncles also came in with me in the palace, I estimated that something big had happened, so I hurried over, and hoped that the emperor would inform the ministers to see if they could make a little effort! ”

Comrade Li Er nodded and said, "You kid is really smart, just with such a few clues, you can see that there is a problem." There's really something going on, Mowgli, you can tell the Wang family kid and see what he can do. ”

Comrade Li Er's previous sentence was talking to Wang Ke, but the second sentence was for the eldest grandson Wuji to tell Wang Ke what had happened.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and arched his hand towards Comrade Li Er, turned to Wang Ke and said: "This morning, Jiangnan sent an urgent document for 800 miles, and heavy rain fell in Jiangnan, causing rivers to overflow and millions of people to be displaced, and local officials have begun to organize rescue. It's just that because this year's grain is not yet ripe, and there is not much surplus grain in the government warehouse, the officials in Jiangnan asked the imperial court to urgently allocate grain for support. ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, his face turned pale.

He knew deep down that this flood and drought were fatal at any time. Even in the future generations, it is not possible to completely guarantee rescue, not to mention that in this era when the roads are not smooth, productivity is low, and rescue capacity is insufficient, I don't know how many people will die because of this, even if they survive, I don't know how many people will have no food, no clothing, no housing. If a plague spreads, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Comrade Li Er also saw the change in Wang Ke's expression, and asked with a melancholy expression: "If the boy of the Wang family has any opinions, let's talk about them first." ”

Wang Ke also forgot the etiquette at this time, did not answer to Comrade Li Er, and asked directly to the eldest grandson Wuji: "What is the situation now, please ask the eldest grandson uncle to explain it in detail to the little nephew." ”

Because this matter is very important, everyone didn't care about Wang Ke's rudeness to Comrade Li Er, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji together, only to see the eldest grandson Wuji tell Wang Ke in a heavy tone about the current situation in Jiangnan, during which Fang Xuanling and Du Ruyan 'inserted' two sentences from time to time to supplement what the eldest grandson Wuji said.

After Wang Ke listened, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom, he knew that the matter was very serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Due to the current tax policy of the Tang Dynasty, the annual tax collected by the imperial court is not much, and coupled with the annual use of soldiers, the treasury can almost be said to have little surplus; The granaries scattered all over the country were never full. As long as there is a disaster, the imperial court is completely helpless, and it completely depends on the self-help of the affected areas, and the rescue that the imperial court can allocate is completely a drop in the bucket, and after it is distributed to the victims, it can only be said to be symbolic.

Wang Ke recalled that whenever there was a disaster in all parts of the country, no matter where there was a disaster, the government would immediately activate the disaster relief emergency plan, and the relief materials and resources from all over the country were continuously transported to the disaster area, which played a great role in relieving the victims.

But now, all this is so lacking, Wang Ke doesn't feel a little sentimental, under such conditions, Wang Ke really doesn't know what to do, and Wang Ke doesn't dare to imagine the post-disaster scene.

There seemed to be such a scene in front of his eyes: the flood water receded, and all the crops that were about to ripen in the once fertile fields were not harvested; In the villages, houses were swept away by raging floods; The bodies of those drowned and starved in the flood were strewn all over the field, and the living were dressed in stranded clothes, staring blankly at the vast land, and there were mournful wails everywhere.

Wang Ke was immersed in the sadness in his heart, and he didn't have a trace of feeling for the gaze that Comrade Li Er and the four important ministers of the Tang Dynasty cast on him, and his gaze aimlessly crossed the heads of several people and passed through the walls of the study, as if trying to find the place that was being ravaged by the flood.
