Datang all-rounder

Chapter 157

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November, and because Empress Changsun followed Wang Ke's orders, Jinyang did not get sick again. Comrade Li Er was very happy with Wang Ke's idea. Everyone was full of praise, which made Comrade Li Er even more happy.

There was nothing to do that day, and just in time to rest in the court, Comrade Li Er made an impromptu decision, took the eldest grandson empress, hugged Xiao Jinyang, and came to Wang Ke's mansion.

Comrade Li Er's visit made Wang Ke's family run wild. Not to mention the people in the house, even the streets near Wang Ke's house were cleaned up. A passer-by People can't see it either.The streets were full of people from the Left Guard brought by Comrade Li Er. When Wang Ke called out Nanping and his servants to go out, they were interrogated several times.

Wang Si didn't know where to let Comrade Li Er and his party sit.It stands to reason that Wang Si is the head of the family. Comrade Li Er should welcome him to where he lives when he comes. The living room is much smaller than Wang Ke's.

Wang Ke knew what Wang Si was embarrassing, and quickly said: "Father, why don't you invite the emperor and empress to sit with the baby."

Comrade Li Er glanced at Wang Ke and said, "I haven't seen your father's new house yet. Why, don't you let me go and see it?"

Wang Ke chuckled twice, but didn't dare to say anything.Wang Si quickly answered: "Your Majesty, Ke'er didn't mean that, it's just that the minister's place is narrower than Ke'er's, so I'm afraid I'll neglect the emperor and empress!"

Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'll go and have a look. The Guanyin servant girl should go and sit with the boy of the Wang family first, and I will come to Wang Qing's to have a look."

Empress Changsun nodded with a smile, followed Mrs. Wang, and Wang Si and his son accompanied Comrade Li Er to Wang Si's residence, looked around and walked out.

In fact, there is nothing to see on Wang Si's side, and there is not much difference from Wang Ke's side, but there are two missing rooms upstairs, and the living room downstairs is much smaller. The overall layout is still the same as Wang Ke's side. almost the same.

Comrade Li Er said as he walked: "Boy, if I build a palace in the future, I will ask you to help me draw pictures, and help me build it like this."

Wang Ke clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it's better not to build something like this. In fact, it's faster to fix it this way. Compared with our Tang Dynasty buildings, it's much worse in terms of aesthetics."

Comrade Li Er hesitated and said: "But the functions in those you have made will not be used?"

Only then did Wang Ke understand that Comrade Li Er was worried that those functions inside could not be used, so he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, it can be made. In fact, the things inside can be used in any house, as long as the design When it’s time to arrange it properly.”

Only then did Comrade Li Er nodded thoughtfully, and his steps became brisk.

When she came to Wang Ke's living room, Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and saluted Comrade Li Er. Comrade Li Er pressed down with his hand and said, "There is no need to be formal. The empress and I are visiting your house today, so there is no need to be so polite. gone."

Standing behind Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke saw Empress Changsun holding Jin Yang in her arms all the time, tilted her head and said a few words to Wang Si before walking out.

Comrade Li Er turned his head and asked, "Wang Qing, why did your kid run away? I still have something to ask him."

Wang Si quickly said: "Don't blame the emperor, Ke'er said that he went out to make something, please sit down with the emperor and the empress, Ke'er will be back in a while."

Comrade Li Er stopped asking, and sat down to chat with Wang Si.

But Wang Ke ran to the front yard, found the housekeeper, and asked him to take out some small pieces of wood that he usually brought back. He got up and drove out, leaving the housekeeper in a daze. I don't know what kind of nerves this young master is getting into today. He made a lot of broken wood and left it alone, so that he had to clean it up slowly.

The housekeeper shook his head, and said in his mouth: "Seeing that the emperor is coming, the old man is very busy. I really think that the old man is not tired after setting up such a mess for the old man!"

But let’s talk about it, I still bent down to pick it up piece by piece.After all, no one in the palace is idle now, and they are all busy with Comrade Li Er's arrival.

Wang Ke drove to the Zhuangzi in a hurry, found Carpenter Yang and asked Carpenter Yang to put down his work and make things for him.

Carpenter Yang said in surprise: "Master, what are you doing? You didn't use the blueprints to make it!"

Wang Ke waved his hand and said, "I don't need any blueprints anymore. I'll give you a simple drawing. I'll make a simple one first, and use it immediately! You can make a good one seriously when you have time."

Carpenter Yang has never seen Wang Ke in such a hurry. Before he wanted to make things by himself, no matter how big or small, he would definitely come up with a very formal blueprint, but today there is nothing, so he has to start doing it by himself. Carpenter Yang felt that, This is too inconsistent with Wang Ke's style.

Carpenter Yang cautiously asked: "Master, who did this work for? It's so urgent!"

Wang Ke said eagerly: "I made it for the empress, you should make it quickly, the empress is still waiting to use it!"

When Carpenter Yang heard that it was made for the empress, he immediately became full of energy. While selecting the materials, he said to Wang Ke who was drawing with his head down: "Master, make it for the empress. I'm afraid it's not easy to do it. It's not good." Well, it's not like that!"

Without raising her head, Wang Ke said impatiently: "If you are told to do it, you do it. There are so many words. Didn't I tell you that I will make a good one later, and I am anxiously waiting to use it now!" "

Seeing that Wang Ke was a little annoyed, Carpenter Yang shut his mouth knowingly, and just waited for Wang Ke to take out the blueprint.

Wang Ke drew a baby's push chair twice, and took out a blanket from home from the car and put it next to him, urging Carpenter Yang to do it quickly.

Carpenter Yang pointed to the four wheels on the drawing and asked, "Master, what are these?"

Wang Ke gestured with his hand and said: "This is a wheel, you can move forward by pushing it with your hand, without any effort."

Carpenter Yang scratched his head with his hands and asked, "Then how is it fixed?"

Wang Ke couldn't help kicking it, and said loudly: "How did you repair the bullock cart for the village? Don't you know how the wheels of the bullock cart are fixed?"

Only then did Carpenter Yang say embarrassingly: "Master, to tell you the truth, since I came to work here, I really haven't repaired an ox cart, and I really didn't remember it for a while."

At this time, Wang Ke also felt that she was a little impatient just now, but she has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and she is no longer as humble as when she first arrived, and she is not as used to apologizing as before, so she just smiled and kicked Carpenter Yang and said: : "You have the nerve to say that you are the priests of the village, so you have to repair farm tools for the people in the village."

When Carpenter Yang heard this, he became anxious, and said anxiously: "No, it's just that the small ones don't repair, and others still have to do it. They are all from the village, and they are from the village. How can you not repair the monthly offerings?"

Wang Ke then clapped her hands and stood up: "It's almost the same! Do it quickly. Why did you stop talking?"

Carpenter Yang chuckled and started to move again.

The push chair painted by Wang Ke is actually very simple. It is made into a small chair with airtight armrests. Four wooden wheels are installed on the four legs. The back of the chair is raised and there are two handles on the top for Push the little chair around.

Carpenter Yang quickly made the thing. Wang Ke looked okay, and was about to leave after putting the blanket inside. Carpenter Yang hurriedly helped Wang Ke put it in the car.

Wang Ke looked at Carpenter Yang and said, "Old Yang, when you have time, think about it and see how to improve it. It would be best if you can sit and sleep."

Carpenter Yang nodded and replied: "Okay, think about it carefully, and make sure to make a practical and beautiful one. This one takes up a lot of space. It would be great if it could be folded."

Wang Ke was in a hurry to go back, and said without thinking too much: "You think about it yourself, I won't delay, just make one when you think about it, and ask someone to send a letter to the house and ask me to come and see it. I'll go first !” After speaking, he drove home.

Back in the mansion, Wang Ke took out the small push chair from the car and came to his living room. Looking inside, Nanping and the others had already returned, and they were playing with little Jinyang around Empress Changsun. There were bursts of giggles from little Jinyang.

Wang Ke pushed the small push chair into the living room, and said triumphantly, "Look, what did I do to come back?"

Lan Ling ran over first, walked around the small push chair, turned his mouth and said, "What are you using this for? It's so small, how can you sit on it?"

Wang Ke rolled his eyes and said: "It's not for you. I haven't seen the empress working hard holding the princess. This matter is for Jinyang. In the future, the empress can push Jinyang around without having to hold her all the time. Of course , this is just in a hurry, it is relatively simple to do, after a while to make a good one, you can sit and sleep, it will be convenient!"

Seeing that it was made for Jinyang, Empress Changsun immediately sat down in Jinyang's arms and tried to push it with her hands. It felt very convenient, and it was much easier than holding it all day long. She even claimed it was good.

Seeing that Empress Changsun was quite satisfied, Wang Ke sat down and wiped the sweat from her head with her hands.After being so busy just now, even though the weather was cold, Wang Ke was still sweating from exhaustion.

Empress Changsun knew that after Wang Ke came back, Comrade Li Er wanted to talk to Wang Ke, so she pushed a small cart and said to Nanping and the others: "How about it? How about looking around the palace?"

Mrs. Wang quickly apologized and said: "Your Majesty, let the princess and the others go with your Majesty, and the concubines go to the kitchen to see how the food and wine are being prepared."

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "There is Mrs. Lao."

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, she took Wang Ke's two aunts and retreated.

After the three people from Nanping went out with Empress Changsun, Comrade Li Er asked Wang Ke: "Where did the cotton in the quilt and cotton padded clothes made by the boy come from? It's very good! If I let people in Datang Putting it on, the court will have to save a lot of trouble."

Although Wang Ke also knew that Comrade Li Er would not come to his home for no reason, but he didn't know why. Seeing what Comrade Li Er said, he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man! This thing is indeed good. Things, but now I don’t try to plant much, and the output is not high, so I’m afraid it’s still a bit difficult to meet the emperor’s requirements.”

Comrade Li Er frowned and asked again: "Can't the output be increased?"

Wang Ke was really stumped by this question. Although he knew that the land he used to grow cotton was not suitable for growing cotton, there were also reasons for the low cotton yield; but the biggest impact on the yield was the growth process of cotton. However, he really didn't know anything about the care of cotton during its growth, and he couldn't say anything.

Wang Ke didn't hide anything, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, there are many factors for the low cotton production, but now I only understand that the land in my home is not suitable for planting, but this reason does not have a great impact on the production. The reason is that we don’t know anything about the care of cotton during the growth process, so the production of cotton can’t increase.”

Comrade Li Er knew that Wang Ke would not talk nonsense with himself on these matters, so he frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

Wang Ke said frankly: "As far as cotton is concerned, there are no farmers in our dynasty who know how to grow it. If you want to find someone who can, you can only find someone in the Western Regions. The cotton seeds of the minister are also found through merchants in the Western Regions. "

Comrade Li Er pointed to Wang Ke and said: "I will leave this matter to you, and you will be responsible for it. I want everyone in my Tang Dynasty to wear this warm cotton-padded coat and cover it with a quilt!"

Wang Si and Wang Ke stood up at the same time and bowed to Comrade Li Er, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Wang Ke went on to say: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the cultivation of cotton does not require much land, and there is no need to find any good land to plant it. In other words, the existing fertile land in my Tang Dynasty is not used It was allocated separately. In this way, the land that cannot be grown now can be used for planting, so that the grain production will not be reduced, and the cotton harvest will be bumper!"

Wang Ke's words made Comrade Li Er feel more at ease. He originally thought that planting cotton would make the grain harvest less, but Wang Ke gave him such a big surprise, which made Comrade Li Er appreciate cotton planting even more. unprecedented support.

Comrade Li Er thought that in a few years, the people of the Tang Dynasty would be able to wear warm cotton-padded clothes in winter, and they would not die in large numbers due to the cold, and the imperial court would not allocate funds for relief every year. I was as happy as a flower blooming.

Wang Si and his son on the side didn't know why Comrade Li Er was so happy all of a sudden, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only look at Comrade Li Er to see what he had to say.
