Chapter 652 Li Ke is very happy

Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "Is there any trouble?" After asking, he thought to himself: "Do I have fewer troubles? It doesn't matter if I have more or less!"

Wu Meiniang suddenly smiled and said, "When I was lying on the bed just now, I thought a lot. I thought of it. Maybe my uncle would be thought of as a villain who dominated the women of good families, which would damage your reputation. However, if the truth is revealed in the future, it might become your virtue."

Wang Ping'an frowned and didn't understand what was going on. He said, "That's okay. My reputation is not worth much. It doesn't matter whether it is damaged or not. The key is that you are fine!"

Wu Meiniang was blessed with great blessings and said, "Uncle, you treat Meiniang like a mountain. Meiniang really doesn't know how to repay her!"

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "What's the point of repaying or not? Don't mention it again in the future. Now it's your fault. If something happened to me in the future, wouldn't you treat me like this? Your family, don't say two things."

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly and said nothing. She did not thank her for her. If she thanked her, it would seem fake!

Wang Ping'an asked her to rest well, turned around and left Wu Meiniang's residence. He walked to his own residence in the back house, thinking as he walked, what did Wu Meiniang mean? My reputation, what is my reputation?

He almost walked to the door and realized the taste. He probably wrote some stingy words in Wu Meiniang's letter, how did he miss Li Zhi or something, but because he had not signed the letter, he did not reveal Li Zhi's information. So even if Li Ke took the letter, he could not tell that it was written by Wu Meiniang for Li Zhi. But he might think that he had occupied a good woman, and this good woman missed her husband, so the letter he wrote was "handled" by herself, so she could not send this letter full of grievances and could only stay in her luggage...

Wang Ping'an figured it out and stomped his feet, thinking: "Who am I provoking whom I am, this matter will definitely be told jealously. Li Ke is not polite to me, and his reputation is now so bad!"

He sighed, he entered his room and took a shower and went to bed. There was nothing he could stop, so let it happen. Anyway, he had a scandal with Wu Meiniang, which looks quite embarrassing now, but maybe he could become famous throughout the ages. It is very likely that many authors will use themselves as the protagonist when writing fiction novels in the future, and the title of the book is "Time Travel: I am the Queen's Secret Boyfriend"!

The next morning, Wang Ping'an got up and went out to deal with the governors first. He said that he was cold last night and asked Che Sitong to accompany the governors around. He hid in the house and wrote letters to Li Zhi and Li Ke. The two of them looked like enemies, and he was so embarrassed that he was a little man in the middle!

He wrote a letter to Li Ke, bowing his head, saying that he had long admired the style of His Highness the King of Wu for his long-term care and cultivation. He was unable to repay him and was willing to become his subordinates and work hard for his own good... His words were humble and respectful, and his intention of surrender was very obvious. In addition, he attached a drawing of a water truck, which was just a gift!

After writing the letter to Li Ke, he wrote to Li Zhi and copied a letter to Li Ke so that Li Zhi could understand that he did not really surrender to Li Ke, and gave him a way to deal with it. Li Zhi asked to refer to it.

In this way, after writing the letter, he called Ouyang Li and asked him to send the letter to the Ouyang brothers. It was easy to say from the Wu Prince's Mansion that as long as the identity was revealed, Li Ke would not take the letter to see him. The letter from the Eastern Palace went to find the Meng brothers, asked them to find Shi Aiguo, and handed the letter to Li Zhi. It was not possible to directly ask for the prince. Whether he could see him or not was one thing, and it was another thing to be noticed.

Ouyang Li sent two of his most powerful brothers, Ouyang Yi and Ouyang Shuang, to let them go to Beijing together to get the letter delivery done, and brought the water truck model with them. The two newly built ones have not yet been assembled.

Wang Ping'an handled this matter well and dared to accompany the governors. In just one or two days, the governors' "support" was in place. Although the governors were particularly unhappy when they agreed to do things, once they agreed, they would be really wind, rain, thunder and lightning, without any delay, and without any sign of not keeping their word.

As soon as the money was released, the governors did not give Wang Ping'an money first, but asked Wang Ping'an to write the memorial first, but instead asked Wang Ping'an to write the memorial directly to the emperor, but to the Shangshu Province first, and then transferred it from the prime minister.

The governors are all good at human beings. They know very well that writing memorials to the emperor is not effective. The emperor will not specifically promote the minister to be awarded, but will have to publish a document from the Shangshu Province. Then it is very important to explain the matter to the Shangshu Province first. The Shangshu Province will submit the memorials. As soon as a person like Changsun Wuji will not be interested in dividing the credit, but will give him a feeling that these governors are good subordinates and everything must be passed by him.

Although people don’t know what it means to give each other a sense of accomplishment in this era, they all use it. When the governors gave the sense of accomplishment to Changsun Wuji, wouldn’t it become Changsun Prime Minister’s own people? It would be much more convenient for them to promote their own people!

Wang Ping'an didn't care who he wrote to. He generously wrote a letter to the Secretariat and reported the matter, and then wrote a letter to the Secretariat and reported it to Ma Zhou, praising the governors' "loyalty to the country" to the sky. Anyway, it doesn't cost any money, so it can only cost some ink, so why not do it!

The governors were satisfied and personally supervised Wang Ping'an to send the memorials. Then they gave the money to Wang Ping'an and then returned to their respective jurisdictions. Wang Ping'an held back and did not pay attention to the money until all the governors left. He immediately called Che Sitong and asked him to send the money to use!

Che Sitong was very impressed and said to Wang Ping'an: "Sir, you are so great. I admire you very much! The project was about to be suspended today, and I can no longer support it, but you just raised your hand and got 40,000 guan... 40,000 guan. Sir, the Xiaguan has never seen so much money before, and our Qingzhou treasury has never installed so much money!"

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "Is this a lot? There will be more in a few days! Be careful and get the project done. After a few days, a large number of businessmen will come. Don't look at them just thinking about watching the wind some time ago, as long as the governors spend money to buy water trucks spread, they will come immediately."

After a moment of stopping, he looked at Che Sitong and smiled, "Remember to wash your butts when the time comes!"

Che Sitong was shocked and didn't understand what this meant. Washing his butt clean, could it be that the governor had an idea about his butt? This was so fatal! He said with a bitter face: "Sir, the junior official is old and has some style, so I really can't afford to play with it!"

Wang Ping'an said: "If you can't afford to play, you have to play. There is nothing you can do. If you don't wash your butt and others will pat you, it will not be the fragrance on your hands, but the smell will be stink!"

Che Sitong then realized that he smiled awkwardly: "It turns out that the lord is talking about the merchants flattering, but he was shocked and thought..."

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Why are you?"

"No, the official has no idea what. The official is going to do business now!" Che Sitong hurriedly ran away and went to allocate funds to the project. The 40,000 guan was enough for everything!

It is easy to do things with money. No matter what the 40,000 guan is a huge sum of money. The money for building can not be said to be enough, but it is almost the same. After all, Wang Ping'an is better to the people than the former Sui Dynasty, and even the early Tang Dynasty, and the people are willing to work. Once the subjective initiative is increased, the project progresses faster, which will save a lot of expenses. The actual situation is that Wang Ping'an is not only faster than others, but also saves better than others, and has better repairs!

But no matter how well Wang Ping'an did, the construction of the canal occupies a large amount of manpower, and the canal passes through the fields, so the people cannot farm normally. Moreover, it is too late to sow again after summer, so it is inevitable that the grain harvest in Qingzhou this year is unavoidable.

Wang Ping'an just waited for the merchants to come, and he wanted to sell the water truck. On the one hand, he got the money to build the water truck in Qingzhou, and on the other hand, he had to support the people of the whole province until the food was collected next year. The money was even more huge, far more than the money he got from the governors. This was what really gave him a headache.

Fortunately, his popularity is not very good, so he can definitely get the money.

Not to mention that the passion of Qingzhou has kicked off the prelude to large-scale production, just talk about Chang'an.

The Palace of King Wu.

Li Ke got up very late that day, and he became less and less favored by his father. Li Shimin had been no longer close to women, and his life was still important. He no longer had the good mood to favor concubines, which directly led to Concubine Yang almost never seeing the emperor again, and Li Ke's status became increasingly embarrassing.

As a prince, he could no longer go to court to follow the government. Li Shimin asked him to study hard, cultivate his character, and become the prince's minister in the future, and his brothers work together to govern the country well.

Li Ke had no choice but to be both a son and a minister. Can he not listen to his father's words? He had to "study" at home. But it doesn't matter that he has been studying behind closed doors. He has not seen his father for nearly half a month. For a motivated prince, not being able to see his father is a fatal blow, which means that he is getting further and further away from the Ganlu Palace!

On that day, he slept until midnight before getting up. After washing up, he didn't eat breakfast. He sat alone in the study and was worried. He was sighing, a housekeeper came to report that the people who were sent to Qingzhou had been back and brought back important news.

Li Zhi asked the housekeeper to bring the person listlessly, but he no longer expressed hope for the arrest of Wang Ping'an. The last time he sent the drawing back, he specially found someone to see it, but he had not created anything. The drawing was simply fake. He specially found someone from the prepared mansion and sent it to Qingzhou to verify it. But after leaving for so long, there was news today and he no longer expressed hope.

The one who came back from Gyeongju was Qianniu. After seeing Li Ke, he told him the matter and took out the letter found from Wu Meiniang's house and presented it to Li Ke.
