Wei Tianwu took Wang Ge to the Criminal Department to report, Zhang Nan walked to the construction site alone, looking at a few people who were squatting aside to eat, Zhang Nan stepped forward and squatted with a few people, and asked: "A few big brothers, this is noon, just eat this, can you eat enough?" ”

As soon as Zhang Nan spoke, several people raised their heads to look at Zhang Nan, and one of the older people chewed the bran and dregs to make cakes, and said vaguely: "What can be done if you can't eat enough?" It's nice to be able to eat this, but what else do you want? Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After hearing this, Zhang Nan couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, so he said again: "Didn't the eldest brother tell those overseers? I can't eat enough, how can I work? ”

Another overseer heard this, raised his head, looked at Zhang Nan with the eyes of a fool, and said, "Tell these people, is it useful?" They don't care if we live or die. After speaking, he lowered his head and drank the porridge in the bowl.

"Eh, who's to say it's not? But this is much better than the previous dynasty, when Yang Guang was building the canal, it was much worse than this, not only did he have no food to eat, he had to work less, but he also had to be beaten, working day and night. The old man sighed and said.

"yes, it's good to be able to eat." The rest of the people chimed in.

"But if you don't have enough to eat, can you do the work? Won't there be a delay in the construction period? Zhang Nan continued to ask.

"If you delay, you will delay, anyway, the one above is to blame, and it can't be blamed on us people." The older man smiled and said.

After listening to this, Zhang Nan was about to say something, when an overseer in the shed just took the broken gong and struck it. When a few people heard the sound of the gong, they ignored Zhang Nan, stood up, and went to put the bowl and work.

As soon as Zhang Nan saw that everyone had started to work, he stopped staying at the construction site, but decided to go to Li Er, because Zhang Nan thought of another business and could do it with Li Er.

When Zhang Nan entered the palace and found Li Er, Li Er was in the imperial study approving the folds, and the eldest grandson queen was sitting next to Li Er and fanning Li Er, after all, the season was about to enter summer, and the weather was a little hot.

"Qingquan, I've been looking for me very diligently lately, it seems that I have something to ask for again, right?" Li Ertou asked without raising his head.

Zhang Nan wiped the sweat on his head and said, "I didn't come to ask the emperor today, I reported to the emperor about the construction of the military academy." ”

"Oh, you went to military school? How is it being built over there, I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't been there to see it. Li Er finally put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked.

Zhang Nan said in his heart: "What are you busy with, where can you go to Duhe to join in the fun, where can you be busy." ”

And Empress Changsun was saved by Zhang Nan after all, and she was still good to Zhang Nan, saying: "Sit down, Qingquan, don't stand, sit down and say." ”

As soon as Zhang Nan heard that he could sit down, he was not polite, so he sat down and said, "Queen Xie." ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister has just come back from the military academy, and the construction is still very good, and the rest is some corner problems, which will not affect the overall situation, I estimate that it will be put into use in another month or two." Zhang Nan said.

"Well, since you've seen it, and I've ordered you to supervise it, I don't care about it, and when it's done, I'll go and see it again." Li Er said.

"Then you're here today to tell me about the construction?" Li Er asked.

"That's not it, I heard that the emperor thinks that the construction of this military academy is a little slow, so I came over today to answer this question for the emperor." Zhang Nan said.

"Well, that's right, I think it's a bit slow to build, it's just a few houses, and I don't think it takes so much time." Li Er frowned and said.

"Then the emperor wants to know why this military academy is built so slowly with just these few houses." Zhang Nan asked.

"If you know, just say it, don't give me a pantomime." Li Er didn't seem to be interested in listening to Zhang Nan going around here, and said bluntly.

"Then I'll just say, how much food did you allocate to this people's husband, Your Majesty." Zhang Nan asked.

"I allocated 500 loads of food for the construction of this military school, what's the matter, why are you asking this?" Li Er didn't know what Zhang Nan meant by asking.

"Does the emperor know what this people eat every day?" Zhang Nan did not answer Li Er, but continued to ask.

"What to eat, what to eat, what else to eat." Li Er seemed to be a little impatient and said casually.

"No, no, no, the emperor, these people who built a military academy for the emperor eat bran and dregs to make cakes every day, and drink porridge that is so thin that there are not a few grains of rice, of course, if it can be called porridge." Zhang Nan said.

"This, impossible, I have calculated it, the food allocated must be enough to eat, how can you eat bran and dregs?" Li Er asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, the food you allocated is enough, but if you don't give it to the people here, is there any way?" Zhang Nan said.

"Is it so difficult that Wei Tianwu withholds the food and doesn't let them eat it?" Li Er asked strangely, as if he felt that Wei Tianwu shouldn't be this kind of person.

"No, no, no, Master Wei has no problem, put all the grain below, but the head of the overseer above the construction site is called Wang Ge." Zhang Nan said.

"Wang Ge?" Of course, Li Er had no impression of a petty official like Wang Ge, so he motioned for Zhang Nan to continue.

"This supervisor named Wang Ge, he sold more than 100 quintals of grain allocated by the emperor to the people, 200 quintals, and the rest, it is estimated that those overseers have taken some to their own homes." Zhang Nan said.

When Li Eryi heard that the grain he allocated was actually sold, and he was also an official of the imperial court, he was immediately furious. "Bastard, you dare to sell it privately, it's really a dog's heart, what about that Wang Ge person?" Li Er roared angrily.

"Wang Ge has been sent to the Criminal Department by Master Wei, as for what he found, the minister doesn't know, the minister just came to tell the emperor what is the reason for the slow construction of this military school."

"What is this Wei Tianwu doing to eat, what are his subordinates like, doesn't he know as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" Li Er continued to be angry.

When Empress Changsun saw Li Erqi like this, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger, this anger is not good for your health." ”

"Degassing? How can I dissipate my anger, I allocate food to the people, so that they can have a full meal, and build this military academy for me, who knows that these officials of mine dare to sell this grain privately, what does this make the people think of me, will they know? No, they just thought I didn't give them a bite to eat. Li Er said angrily.

"You don't have to worry about this emperor, those people are still quite satisfied with the emperor." As soon as Zhang Nan's words came out, Li Er and Empress Changsun looked at him strangely.

Zhang Nan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I asked, those people think that the emperor is good for you to give them a bite to eat, this is the truth." ”
