As emperor, Li Chengqian also knew the importance of encouraging scientific research institutions.

Not long ago, the Thunderbolt Division offered a new type of gunpowder weapon. This gunpowder weapon does not need to ignite, but only needs to be pulled on a trigger to activate the corresponding weapon. At the same time, this new type of gunpowder weapon no longer uses the eight-bull crossbow as a firing tool, as long as the landing point is calculated, it can fly over by itself.

For the current deterrence of neighboring countries, it is enough to have those original gunpowder weapons. The border demonstrations, which are held every three or five years, have become once a year, because the Thunderbolt Division is going to change its equipment, and the original weapons should be consumed rather than being dismantled and reused in the face of danger.

Li Tai never hid his thoughts in front of the master and the imperial brother, he took a sip of wine before saying: "Imperial brother, your decision brother should not talk too much, but I still think it would be better to let the royal family pay this money, how can the master say that the old man is also a courtier, is the reward in his name not enough?" ”

Li Chengqian sat on the recliner and said with a smile: "Qingque, you concentrate on research, and you don't know anything about the outside world. As you and my master, Master is actually very famous in our Datang. In addition, his old man is now retired, whether it is a literati or a scientific researcher, he actually feels that the encouragement from the master is more glorious than the encouragement from the imperial court. ”

Leng Feng smiled, thinking of the respect of the Tang literati for the reclusive master before, and understood what was going on.

The rewards of the imperial court are deserved, in their opinion, they can get by their efforts, and they are not worth showing off. And the praise from the elders can make them happy, and even the most low-key people will take advantage of this to swagger around, and those who hear it will only envy, not disgust.

"Since you want to set it up, let's set it up, when the family was separated, Leng Jing's kid didn't ask for your master's deposit, he just received the property, I am an old man, and I am still retired, I can't spend so much money, and this money will be sealed in the future, and the annual interest, or the interest accumulated for several years, will be used to reward those who have made outstanding contributions."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, he knew how huge the amount of money the master had in the bank, Zhang Wei's son had already asked the emperor more than once to ask the emperor what to do with this property. If after the death of King Xiaoyao, the children and grandchildren will break their heads for this deposit, and the bank will also suffer twists and turns.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a deposit that even banks feel burdened with.

But there is no need to worry about it in the future, when the deposit is stipulated to be used for rewards, it is considered a part of the bank, as long as the bank keeps calculating the interest, and then it will be taken out for the reward.

After taking a good bath, Li Tai's tiredness disappeared, and he followed the imperial brother into the living room.

At this time, Li Kewu and Di Renjie had already arrived in the living room and were talking together.

Seeing the master and brother coming in, the three of them hurriedly got up to greet them.

After sitting down, Leng Feng picked up the teapot and said with a smile: "Master has taught you five apprentices in this life, and seeing you grow up and achieve achievements in your respective fields, this is more worthy of pride than being crowned King Xiaoyao." ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "Master, you are humble, with your contribution to the Tang Dynasty, the throne of King Xiaoyao is not enough to reward you for your hard work." Compared with you, the disciple has been doing nothing on the throne all these years, which is embarrassing. ”

Di Renjie laughed, pointed at Li Chengqian without hesitation, and said: "Senior brother, you are modest, not to mention that the soldiers did not take the plateau bloodily, it is the progress of people's livelihood in these years, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are obvious to all." At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty only dug a canal, which harmed the people of the poor life, and now Yongan not only excavates the canal, plus the construction of seaports, the construction of cement roads, so many projects are carried out at the same time, even if you look through the history books, there is no prosperous era that can be strong enough for us Yong'an. ”

Di Renjie is actually very good at saying beautiful things, for example, this time he didn't say the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but said the prosperous era of Yong'an. People who don't shoot sycophants won't shoot if they don't shoot, and if they shoot it once, even Li Chengqian will be praised for his whole body comfort, and the unpleasantness caused by receiving the secret report today will disappear.

Li Ke answered: "Huaiying, don't talk about the imperial brother, aren't you like a fish in water in the court?" Brother Huang deliberately transferred you as a universal chess player in many departments, and the places you went were quickly sorted out by you, and after a few days you were promoted to prime minister, presumably all the departments of the court would have no objections, this is the real expectation. ”

Wu Mei said with a smile: "Don't praise Huaiying, senior brother does this, in fact, it is Ling Zhiwei, every time Huaiying goes, he has to reduce swelling and lay off staff on a large scale, picket the account books, and it is not one or two who are caught, he is not so much the prime minister as the public expectation, but that no one dares to stop him." ”

Di Renjie smiled bitterly, but had to nod. He picketed the court before, and he really offended many people. Now is the year of Yong'an, and the important members of the court are more of the inheritors of the noble group, and there are only a few people like the graduates of the Academy of Letters. What he did was more like the emperor's fighting method with the traditional noble group. It was precisely because he was caught with pigtails that the traditional nobles had no choice but to pass the emperor's decree, and they could only gather in the restaurant to express their grievances.

Li Tai had been eating grapes, and when he heard Wu Mei speak, he said, "Senior sister, you go back and talk to Bai Lin, and transfer a few more students from the Women's College to the Academy of Literature for further study, and my scientific research institute still needs a few." ”

A few years ago, Wu Meili overrode public opinion and sent several women to study at the Academy of Literature, which made Bai Lin and others very unhappy. The article is eternal, and the man is still extremely tired from studying, not to mention a group of little girls.

Although these women graduated successfully under the protection of Wu Mei, no one wanted to ask for employment when they wanted it. Although up to now, women are still the spokesperson of "not enough to achieve and more to lose".

Li Tai couldn't look at it, so he asked to leave these women and arranged them to be in charge of cleaning at the scientific research institute. Although he accepted it, he accepted it with the mentality of finding a daughter-in-law for a bachelor in his scientific research institute.

However, he didn't expect that these women's opinions on physical chemistry and the like were not simple, and when they were assisting in experiments, they could often notice the smallest points, which was surprising.

After analyzing the differences in the personality habits of women and men, Li Tai felt that his research institute needed to have more female researchers. As for the accountability of those old masters, who cares about him. The scientific research institute is like his country, and not everyone can point fingers.
