Before opening up the Maritime Silk Road in the south, Ang Lee has allocated a lot of research and development work on basic technologies, and asked the craftsmen of the R&D center to work hard to study.

Because these basic things are not too difficult, within a year or two of Ang Lee's departure, these craftsmen have developed these basic technologies very smoothly.

On the surface, these basic things seem to be of little use, but this is for the layman, and for Ang Lee, these basic technical achievements are necessary materials for the development of many useful finished products, and without these basic things, it is impossible to develop useful finished products that Ang Lee needs.

For example, some of the machinery and equipment that have been successfully developed recently, many of the key components and materials in them were developed by these craftsmen in accordance with Ang Lee's requirements during the period of departure, and without these vital materials, it would be impossible for these machines to be successfully researched at once.

In addition, the Wanli Transsonic Plan, which attracted the attention of the emperor and the whole country, was not something that could be done all at once, and it also required a lot of technical accumulation, among which, part of the technical accumulation had been done by the craftsmen before Li An came back, but there were still some more difficult technical problems that could not be solved, so the Wanli Transsonic Project could not be successful for the time being, and it still needed a certain amount of time to prepare, and it was difficult to come out within half a year.

The long-term accumulation of technology has long been a blowout in a short period of time, which is like this in Ang Lee's view, and it is also in line with the law of the development of things, but in the eyes of people in this era, it is the credit of Ang Lee, because they only believe in what they see with their eyes.

Within a year or two of Li An's departure, the huge group of craftsmen in the entire R&D center consumed a lot of resources and wealth of the imperial court, but there were no major achievements, so that many ministers at that time asked to streamline the number of craftsmen, and even asked to drive the craftsmen away.

It is precisely because before Li An left, the results continued to appear, and after leaving, there were almost no results, and after coming back, there were a lot of blowout results, so what can you make the people of the world think, what do the emperors and ministers think, they don't put the credit on Li An's body, and who can they stick it on, as for the large number of basic technologies accumulated in the past two years, where will they understand, even if Li An himself says it, they will feel that Li An is modest, if the craftsman dares to complain, then it will inevitably be scolded.

The world is sometimes so unfair, Ang Lee's achievements are based on the hard work of many craftsmen, without the full cooperation of these craftsmen, there would be no Ang Lee's many achievements, but everyone's eyes look at Ang Lee, who has achieved great results, but completely ignore the large number of craftsmen who have made great contributions.

Of course, these craftsmen are simple people, and they will not dare to compete with Li Ang, besides, they also feel that Li An's credit is the most important, and all the ideas are provided by Li An, and they are just doing some coolies, which is really not a big credit, at least, they think so in their hearts.

For example, the victory of a battle is won by the efforts of all the soldiers, and everyone is indispensable, but in the end, it is the general who commands the army that is rewarded, and the reward that ordinary soldiers can get is very small, because everyone sees the person at the front, and it is difficult to look at the person behind it.

Li Ang doesn't care too much about this, even if he takes the credit of the craftsmen, it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Ang is also very good to these craftsmen, and he doesn't treat any of them badly, as long as their treatment is not reduced, they will be happy.

The development of the Tang Empire, under the intervention of Li An, has entered a fast lane, the development speed of the last five or six years, more rapid than the previous hundred years, with the help of advanced machinery and various technologies, agricultural output has been greatly improved, the phenomenon of lack of food has become a history completely, and the future products will be more and more, more and more abundant.

After the problem of food was gradually solved, the common people who did not have to go hungry began to focus on improving their lives, thus promoting the further development of commercial activities.

With the improvement of agricultural efficiency, the number of farmers is too much, and the production of too much food is actually a waste, and it will also cause the price of agricultural products to be too low, thereby damaging the income of farmers who grow grain, so some farmers can only choose to give up the land, enter the workshop to work, become a respectable technical craftsman, get more income than farming, and they can use the money earned from working in the workshop to buy the food and various daily necessities they need.

The addition of a large number of new craftsmen further promoted the development of the industry of the Tang Empire, while some landless peasants who could not enter the workshop due to physical reasons tried to enter the commercial field, thus becoming a respectable merchant and earning more money than being a craftsman.

After all, people's energy is limited, it is impossible to pay attention to too many things at the same time, everything is a gust of wind, and when new important news appears, the original focus will be gradually forgotten.

For example, when Ang Lee proposed the Wanli Transsion plan, this topic was talked about on the streets, and when the battery appeared, people began to talk about the battery again, after the rainbow came out, the battery was not talked about, and after the appearance of perfume, this became a topic that people were talking about again.

In short, if you want to make people forget a focus, the best way is to wait for a new focus to appear, as long as a new focus appears, then, the original focus of the problem will be covered, at least, there are not so many people talking about it, after all, people like to talk about the latest news, and they like to eat the freshest food when eating, which is a problem that can never be changed.

Newspapers and periodicals such as Datang Daily are also very good at catering to the needs of ordinary consumers, and the content of each issue of the report is the hottest news at present, and they are all ranked in the top position, and the previous news, of course, will continue to be reported, but it should be ranked slightly behind, after all, people like to watch the latest news, so that sales can be greatly increased.

Although the Datang Newspaper belongs to the newspapers and periodicals issued by the imperial court, and the personnel are all paid a fixed salary, however, as long as the sales are good and can make money, they will usually send some benefits in the wild, and the benefits are higher than the fixed ones, so these people will naturally work harder, and the officials in charge of this project will also be more appreciated by their superiors, so as to facilitate better promotions in the future.

Because after too long of development, the current sales of Datang newspaper have been basically stable, and it is still in the stage of a small increase, but the increase is very limited, and the biggest income of this newspaper is not the sale of the newspaper itself, otherwise, where does the profit come from, it is not bad if it is not pasted, the biggest source of profit of this newspaper is the entrained advertising, and these advertising revenues are the most fundamental reason why Datang newspaper can be profitable.

The amount of advertising fees charged naturally depends on the actual sales of Datang Daily, and only when the sales of Datang News increase and the coverage is wide enough, can the advertising cost be maintained in a relatively high position.

Ang Lee reads Datang Newspaper every day, and many times he has to let people circle out the key points first, so that Ang Lee can save time, after all, after such a long period of development, the weight and content of Datang Newspaper is more and more, and all kinds of content and advertisements are mixed together, which seems very chaotic.

However, after reading the key content, Ang Lee will also flip through it at will, and maybe you can see the content that interests you.

"Not bad! Du Fu has become the editor-in-chief, how did Li Bai Da Shixian mix, he is still a small freelance writer, running around every day. ”

When Li An looked at it casually, he saw the names of Du Fu and Li Bai.

For these two gods, Li Ang admires them very much, their literary level is very high, and their reputation in later generations is too high, almost everyone knows them, however, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, although their reputation is high, their status is not very good, and their income is also stretched, although they are better than ordinary people, but they are not much better, and it is only half a catty.

As for their position, after thinking for a while, Li An also understood a little, Du Fu has a calm personality, a strong sense of responsibility, and can endure loneliness, which is indeed very suitable for the position of editor-in-chief, and Li Bai likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, if he is allowed to stay in the office to write manuscripts, he will be suffocated, or run around to write manuscripts, which is more in line with his character and easier for him to be inspired.

In this way, their position is not surprising, the editor-in-chief is indeed Du Fu's ideal position, and similarly, freelance writers are also Li Bai's favorite positions, they can do these two positions, which is much better than being an official, and their character is really not suitable for being an official.

"Oh, Dragon Slayer, is this still serialized?"

Ang Lee flipped to the end and saw his plagiarized work, the work of this year or two has passed, and this work is still serialized, which really surprised Ang Lee, he is about to forget about it, but, if you look closely, it's amazing, there are still thirty or fifty chapters to be finished, and Ang Lee remembers very well that this should be the last work he left before going south.

"Hey, there are also famous evaluations in the back, and there is also the content of the adaptation here, I really haven't paid attention to it before."

Li Ang was taken aback again, since returning to Chang'an City, Li Ang only occasionally browsed the Tang Daily, and rarely read the final messy content, such as poems, articles, and serials, and only looked at the previous policies and major news.

Left in the afterlife, that is, only watch the news series, and do not watch the rest of the content such as commercials and TV dramas, in order to solve their own time.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but since you've seen it, you have to care about it, Ang Lee carefully browsed a lot of the last content, and was surprised to find that his work actually followed suit, and someone actually started to write serials, and it seems that the writing is not bad, like that.

However, these guys' thinking is too narrow, and the content they write is not much different from Ang Lee's thinking, but it's just a change of name and era, and the content really has a lot of similarities, and Ang Lee's embarrassment is all committed.

It's like watching a remake of a TV series in later generations, it feels really bad, because other actors have filmed it before, which has formed a very important first impression in people's hearts, and the plot has been watched, so when I go to watch the remake of the TV series, I can guess the plot behind it many times, and I don't even have to guess it, so it naturally doesn't feel very good.

Patiently read one of the chapters, Li An shook his head helplessly, the quality of the content is really not flattering, compared to Li An's plagiarized works of later generations, the difference is more than a star and a half, but, fortunately, the development of Datang culture at this time is not mature enough, and there are few people who can write it, so, even if the quality is rough, there are many people who like to read it, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting themselves, many readers will soon be able to read a chapter of Dragon Slayer, and the rest of the boring time is not easy to pass away, so, It gives space for the rest of the shoddy works to survive.

"It's all bad writing, so don't read it."

Li An casually threw the Datang newspaper aside, and after reading it for an hour, Li An felt very tired, closed his eyes for a while, and rested.

"Ah Lang, Editor-in-Chief Du is here."

Li An opened his eyes slightly, and Du Fu's figure immediately flashed in his mind, if he hadn't just read the Tang Daily, when the next person reported to the editor-in-chief Du, it is estimated that Li An would not be able to figure out who it was.

"It's Du Fu Du Zimei! Please. ”

Ang Lee has always had more respect for cultural people, however, he does not agree that only the reading is high, but the unique gentle and elegant temperament of cultural people makes Ang Lee quite comfortable, and the rough man who yells is not necessarily a bad person, but the sound of yelling is too harsh, in a place like the barracks, it is very comfortable to listen to, but when you hear a rough sound at home, you will feel very uncomfortable, or a gentle voice is more comfortable to listen to.

After a while, Mr. Du Fu Du Zimei arrived, he looked a little restrained, although he had met a few times before, everyone knew each other, but Lao Du is this character, and there is no way to change it.

"Brother Du, I haven't seen you for two years, and I'm doing well."

Li An took a few steps forward with a smile on his face.
