Chapter 647: The Urgent Solution

Wang Ping'an didn't answer immediately, he closed his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his face was unfathomable.

The assassins had to wait, they looked at Wang Ping'an's movements, and thought in their hearts: "This posture is very familiar, doesn't the emperor like this, why is Wang Ping'an like this?" ”

Wang Ping'an didn't speak, and they didn't dare to ask, they were all speculating in their hearts. The history of the other three states is better, they are older, as long as they don't make mistakes, it is estimated that they will retire in the position of the history of the assassination, and the career is basically at the end, and no mistake is meritorious, so the heart is quite good.

But Lanzhou Thorn Shi is not like this, he can't stand it anymore, Wang Ping is deep, he can't fit it, sweat is pouring on his forehead, and he sits on the pier and keeps twisting. He is young and strong, and he has a strong sense of motivation, Wang Ping'an said something to promote, of course he is in a hurry, and if he wants to progress, he has to be anxious!

After a long time, Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and said, "Some time ago, there was a letter from Chang'an......

The assassins roared in unison, thinking, "Whose letter came, which prime minister, or the prime minister's joint letter, is hinting at you?" ”

Wang Ping'an gasped for a moment, and then said, "I won't talk about this specifically." As you know, I used to work in the East Palace, and I had the most contact with the crown prince......" He gasped again.

The hearts of the thorn historians were like being scratched by a cat, their appetites were hung up, and they were all so anxious that even the Huizhou thorn spurs were breathing roughly, and their faces gradually turned red, staring at Wang Ping'an, waiting for him to explain.

Who knows, Wang Ping'an said: "I won't say anything specific about this." ”

The assassins were very discouraged, and they didn't say anything specific, so what did you say for so long? You didn't say anything, you just whetted our appetite! However, although Wang Ping'an did not reveal anything, the assassins could guess a little, it may be that the prime ministers in the court were entrusted by the prince to write a letter to Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an is the prince's henchman, he must take care of him, so that he can make some political achievements in Gyeongju, but how to take care of the law, the prince is far away in Chang'an, and the whip is out of reach, and it is estimated that the responsibility of taking care of him will fall on them.

Wang Ping'an said: "Forget it, there are some things that everyone knows, but it's not good to say it, right?" What do you think? ”

Can the assassins still say that it is wrong, they all said: "Yes, yes, that's the case, everyone knows it." ”

The two little girls who were waiting next to them glanced at each other again, and thought, "You know what you know, and you are full of the right words!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know the law of the Lu country? This is an allusion, relatively obscure, if you don't know, it's nothing, I can explain a thing or two. ”

The assassins thought to themselves: "If we don't even know this, then what kind of assassin should we be, go home and hug the child!" But they were afraid that there was something strange in this allusion, so they shook their heads together and said, "I really haven't heard of it, please explain it to the prince." ”

Wang Ping'an said hello and said what the law of Lu Guo is. After talking about the allusion, he said: "It's not that I don't have money, it's not that I can't solve the current problem in Gyeongju, but I have a problem with this person, and I can't change it, that is, if I want to have any benefits, I have to let my relatives and friends get some!" ”

The assassins thought to themselves: "Could it be that you want to pick us for meritorious service and be rewarded?" We're not his friends or relatives! "As soon as they were a leader, they hurriedly said yes, they had already heard the words, saying that as long as they were good friends with the prince, they would be promoted to become rich very quickly, and the prince's problem was known to the whole world, of course they had heard of it.

Wang Ping'an said again: "We are officials next to each other, and we are friends who couldn't be closer." I invented a waterwheel, and I want to popularize it and benefit the people of the whole world, but I am embarrassed to receive the praise of the imperial court alone. It's better to be happy alone, than to be happy with everyone, so I invited you to come and want to share some of the profits to you, are you willing? ”

Thorns, you look at me, I look at you, and I think in my heart: "Is it the kind of waterwheel that can irrigate 30,000 acres of fields?" I'm afraid this is not a credit, it's exaggerated too much, report to the court, it's not that we want to share your credit, but to take the blame for you! ”

Huizhou Assassin Shi is a treacherous and slippery, this kind of thing related to his own interests, he will not pretend to be deaf and dumb, he has to quickly push the black pot out and push it on others. He said: "Prince, but the kind of waterwheel that can irrigate 30,000 acres of land? Don't hide it from the prince, although there are many fields in our state, but there is no need for irrigation, it seems that there is no need for this kind of waterwheel. This great credit, the old man doesn't want it, and divides it among the three adults! As he spoke, he pointed to the other three assassins.

The other three thorn histories are not stupid, and they quickly said together that they don't need this kind of waterwheel in their state, and ask the prince to have fun alone, the music is too boring, it's not fun, we won't play with you!

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Can you irrigate 30,000 acres?" Is there such a watermill in the world? The kind of waterwheel I am talking about can only irrigate 300 acres, although it can be improved, but it will never be increased to 30,000 acres. ”

Four thorn Shi Daqi, no, you obviously wrote in the letter that you can irrigate 30,000 acres! If it weren't for the 30,000 acres written, how could we have come here in person, and the faction would have been driving or having a long history. Although 300 acres is a lot, it is not enough to bother us to cross the border!

Lanzhou Thorn Shi said: "Three hundred acres? No, it's 30,000 acres. I brought the letter, it was written clearly in black and white, I couldn't be wrong! ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter, opened it and saw that it was indeed 30,000 acres, and he was neither wrong nor misremembered. The other thorn histories also nodded, that's right, what was written in the letter was 30,000 mu, such an important data, how could they be wrong, if it wasn't for this data being too amazing, would they be able to run like they were dead!

Wang Ping'an took the letter and looked at it, oh sound, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, how can it be written as 30,000 acres, this is a typo, I wrote 100 into 10,000, after writing a letter, I copied it, and it turned out that it was all wrong!" ”

The stabbing historians only felt a huge pain in their teeth, and their bite hurt. Okay, you Wang Ping'an, you are a person who has been the chief examiner, and you can make typos in official documents, who are you to treat us as three-year-old children?

Wang Ping'an threw the letter on the table very casually and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I won't say anything specific." ”

I won't say it specifically, please be specific, let us understand it! The four thorns were helpless, but they couldn't lift the table and lose their temper, although Wang Ping'an was angry, but he was a duke, and his rank was a lot higher than all of them!

Wang Ping'an said: "This is a beautiful misunderstanding, a memorable misunderstanding!" Ladies and gentlemen, it is precisely because of this misunderstanding that you can gather in Gyeongju and discuss with me the great plan for the benefit of the people of the world, which is enough to go down in history and be praised by future generations. Come, in honor of this typo, let's replace wine with tea and have a toast! ”

The assassins were really helpless, and there was no way to do anything about it, facing such a beautiful and memorable misunderstanding...... They had to toast too.

After drinking the tea, Wang Ping'an said: "The sedan chair carries people, I am interesting enough, although I don't expect you to be interesting enough, but in order to make you adults able to rise from now on, even if you may not be interesting enough, I can only be interesting enough for you, who made me such an interesting person!" ”

The assassins thought to themselves: "A bunch of meanings, I don't understand what you mean, what do you mean!" ”

Wang Ping'an stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please move, and I will take you to see the model of the waterwheel." He came out of the pavilion to the pond, and the thorns followed him.

By this time, the model on the edge of the pond had already been installed, the sink and the small canal had been completed, and the waterfall generated the flow of water as a power, and everything was very complete.

The assassins are all well-informed people, just by mouth, even if they are now uh-huh, but once they return to their yamen, they will change their minds, and it is not easy to say anything, if you want to convince them and pay for support, you have to let them see things.

Looking at this exquisite model of the waterwheel, the assassins exclaimed, none of them had ever seen this kind of wheel-like waterwheel, but they had never seen it, but the effect of the waterwheel was known at a glance, and there was no mistake at all.

The four thorns squatted on the ground together, looking at the waterwheel intently, Wang Ping'an smiled silently, waiting for them to express their opinions. He knew in his heart that the better the things, the more anxious these thorns would be.

If they ask for something, they will make conditions. But I invited a meal by myself, and clearly told them, uncle, I have money, and I can't ask you at all, on the contrary, I want to give you face, it is you who ask me, what conditions I propose, you just agree happily, don't be embarrassed, do anything extraneous.

Wang Ping'an and the assassins' identities were reversed, originally he begged the assassins for help, but now it has become the assassins who see the benefits and beg him to share some of them!

For a long time, Lanzhou Thorn Shi was the first to raise his head and said: "This kind of waterwheel seems to be able to irrigate 300 acres of land, and if it is made larger, it can irrigate more." We are especially suitable for this kind of waterwheel in Lanzhou, which is simply tailor-made for us! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Really? That's good, the history of the blue thorn will bring this kind of waterwheel into Lanzhou, and it will definitely benefit one party, and there will be a heavy stroke of adults on the Lanzhou Chronicles! ”

This waterwheel was originally called Lanzhou waterwheel, it is a special product of Lanzhou, Lanzhou has the reputation of the city of waterwheels in later generations, but it is not because of the waterwheel in front of you, but this waterwheel is now called Ping'an waterwheel!

The other three assassins also raised their heads, and the Huizhou assassins asked: "Prince, this kind of waterwheel is used for irrigation, and it will be born by the common people and left a name for future generations." Earlier, you asked us to rush to Gyeongju, to be honest, the old man was very dissatisfied, but now it seems that you are really going to take care of me, and the old man has thanked him! As he spoke, he gave Wang Ping'an a deep salute.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is polite, we are colleagues, how can we not take care of each other!" If you want to know more, why don't you go outside the city and see the real thing! ”

The four assassins were overjoyed and said in unison: "Okay, we have this intention." ”

The five of them took their retinue and immediately set off and hurried out of the city. After leaving the city, looking at the people who were working in full swing, the assassins were all amazed, and they saw countless torches lit by the river, countless people were busy, and many people shouted loudly, full of energy!

Lanzhou Thorn Shi said: "It's already dark, and you want to fight at night!" Prince, although I have just taken office, when I was in the army before, even if I gave orders to the soldiers to build city defenses, the soldiers never worked so hard. I wonder how the prince urged these people to work so hard? ”

Wang Ping'an glanced at him, turned his head, pointed to the busy people, and said, "I haven't urged the people, on the contrary, I often tell them not to be too tired of themselves, and when it's time to rest, they should have a good rest." But they just didn't listen, I had to work in no black and white, and I really couldn't help it! ”

The assassins looked at each other, followed behind Wang Ping'an, walked along the river, and the people they met shouted loudly after seeing Wang Ping'an, and the voice of the god of peace and water resounded through the river, straight into the night sky!

The assassins were even more surprised, the people loved Wang Ping'an very much, and he really had no regrets in his life to do this as an official.

Huizhou has the most experience in the history of assassination, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of thing, he asked: "Prince, you won't pay Ding Zhuang's work, right?" Ding Zhuang is out of conscription, it stands to reason that he only eats and drinks, but he doesn't have to pay his wages, if you pay his wages, this expenditure is really not small! ”

He thinks that the people love Wang Ping'an so much, it must be because they have benefited, and Wang Ping'an must have paid them a lot of wages!

Wang Ping'an smiled: "They work for themselves, why should I pay for it?" I haven't given them a penny! "I said it my lips, but in my heart I said that I can't afford to provide food alone, otherwise why would I come to you?

The assassins stopped talking, thinking, "Work for yourself!" These five words are enough to make the people work hard, and they are really wise sayings! ”

Not long after, I came to the Xiaoliang River, at this time there were three waterwheels on the riverside, all of which were built in the past few days, and in the dark night, the waterwheels rotated endlessly, making a roaring sound of water.

The assassins ran to the waterwheel, dismounted together, and surrounded them to watch the waterwheel carry water. After watching it for a long time, they all understood that the great achievement was just around the corner!

Lanzhou Thorn Shi jumped up, ran to Wang Ping'an, grabbed his sleeve, and said loudly: "Prince, we are all understanding people, just open the skylight and say something, you pick us to make meritorious contributions, but what are the requirements?" Just say it, it's all negotiable! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Of course it's easy to discuss, who of us is with whom, but the merit is divided into different sizes, I have to make meritorious service first, I have to make a big one, right?" ”

The assassins all gathered around and nodded in unison: "Yes, it should be so!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "To build a waterwheel, you need money, I have money to build, but then again, if I pay the money, isn't the credit my alone, and it has become the law of the Lu country, then it will be bad." Therefore, it is better for you to pay, just say that it is your money, I can hire someone to build, it is because of your support, so there is this kind of good waterwheel that is born by the common people, are you optimistic? ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi nodded first and said, "Cheng, I have no objection to this!" ”

Huizhou Assassin Shi asked, "Then how much money should be supported by the prince?" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "It's not much, it's just the money for a meal!" ”

The assassins all blinked their eyes and thought, "The price of a meal, that's not much...... Ah, it's 10,000! Catch up with love, 10,000 green vegetable leaves, where should the occasion be! ”
