Chapter 680: A New National Direction
The second day of the lunar calendar, almost March and April of the solar calendar, at this time on the southern coast, the temperature has reached the point where you only need to wear a shirt, after the summer clothes of peony and hibiscus are unlocked, Sun Xiangfu, who has recently eaten too much high-protein seafood, has become more and more active every day.
Li Shimin, who has no sense of happiness, after the new palace began to be used, the handling of various things became more efficient, and the courtiers were more comfortable in the court, and their satisfaction was so good that it exploded, but this kind of efficient concentration led to more and more things that he himself needed to deal with, and all kinds of new problems could be said to be endless.
The eldest grandson Wuji said that the education of Shannan Province needs to be reformed, and then he reported that Gangneung City was going to build a large-scale university, and then, what music college, architecture college, agricultural college, medical school, engineering college, business school, this and that college, he wanted to start in Gangneung, and a new plan was reported every two days.
At this time, he received Yang Shunshui, chief engineer of Weinan Shipyard, requesting the construction of the Navigation College.
These various things made Li Shimin suddenly realize that Datang's education system is indeed a little unable to keep up with the development of Datang, and all industries seem to have entered a bottleneck period.
So, he found Li Chengqian.
I don't know when the dialogue between their father and son began to change from Li Shimin's education, guidance, and evaluation of Li Chengqian to equal dialogue, and even Li Shimin's inquiry and consultation with Li Chengqian.
"Father, these things, don't say that you don't need the court to spend money, but you need the court to spend money, let's do our best!" After hearing some confusion from Li Shimin, Li Chengqian spread his hands and said.
Li Shimin knew that he would have such an attitude, because the person who promoted these things was Sun Xiangfu, and Li Chengqian's thoughts with Sun Xiangfu now could be said to be in the same vein.
So, he said emphatically, "I naturally know the truth, but have you ever thought about when this development will be a head? What if one day, there is a situation in which we have no control over the world? ”
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was stunned, and after a long time, as if he had mustered up his courage, he said, "Why does my father always want to control the world?
In one of the teacher's lessons, I once said that the desire for power, the desire for control, and the desire for possessiveness are actually low-level human emotions, and people can reasonably satisfy some of these desires, but don't be swayed by such desires.
This world is so big, trillions of living beings, it is not at all that one person can control it all, in this world, you can adapt to it more, enjoy it, if it is because you feel empty and bored standing at the top, in fact, in this world, there are many interesting things that can be regarded as your goal, and their difficulty is even higher than the great cause of unifying the world. ”
After Li Chengqian said this, it was Li Shimin's turn to be stunned, he didn't know how to answer, but after a while, he looked at Li Chengqian with an inquiring gaze and motioned for him to continue.
In fact, Li Shimin regretted a little bit at this moment that he gave Li Chengqian to Sun Xiangfu for training, he felt that Li Chengqian was a little out of line, as the prince of the strongest empire in the world, what he thought in his heart was not how to control the world, which made people very melancholy.
Li Chengqian knew that what he said just now was a bit big, perhaps because he had been more irritable by government affairs in the past two years, and he was not very satisfied with the current state, so he inadvertently jumped a little.
After reasoning in his heart, he pointed to the huge transparent glass window of the imperial study and said, "Not to mention far, just a few years ago, did you think that you could stand in front of such a huge transparent glass window and look down on the entire Chang'an City?" ”
He pointed to the more popular attractions in Chang'an City, the hot air balloon tracks that are flying in the air, "Have you ever thought that you can fly in the sky in a hot air balloon?"
Have you ever thought of those new weapons that can blow up the solid Chang'an City Gate with just one jar?
······”
After saying some more important types, Li Chengqian said, "Before these things appeared, you were the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and after these things appeared, you were also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it just added more color and interest to your daily life, and enhanced the strength of our Datang, without changing the foundation of the Tang Dynasty because of their appearance." ”
What is the root of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for Li Chengqian to tell Li Shimin, in the final analysis, there are just two words, the people's heart.
The people's hearts are in Li, no matter how much the world develops, it is still Li Tang, from another point of view, Li Tang only needs to keep doing things that conform to the people's will, no one will oppose it, and other worries are superfluous.
can see the fundamental problem, that is, the difference between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, after listening to these words, Li Shimin's mood suddenly smoothed a lot, but he also has the dignity of being a father, and looked at Li Chengqian with a kind face, "Do you think my father will not know such a simple truth?" Father is just examining you. These requests will be officially approved by the Government Affairs Hall, and in addition, there are some other things to be done when I come to you this time. ”
Seeing Li Shimin's kind smiling face, Li Chengqian was also relieved, followed his words, and asked, "Father, please command." ”
"Xiao Xiang has been out of office for more than a month, Shangshu's left servant position can not be vacant forever, I want Fang Qing to take over this position again, and you, you need to take over Fang Qing's previous position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this year's sports conference, only a few months to be held, it is estimated that the participating teams of many countries have arrived in the territory of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, how to receive these foreign guests, you also need to lead the Ministry of Rites to draw up a charter."
"Let Erchen take over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites? What do you mean, this year's sports conference, there is no need for the retainers to stay in Chang'an? Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
Li Shimin seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile, "No need, because your uncle built Jiangling City as Chengdu City, and there are large enough palaces and government halls there for the office of various ministries of the imperial court. ”
Sure enough, hearing Li Shimin's arrangement, Li Chengqian's joy couldn't help but show it on his face, patted his chest and said, "Father, please rest assured, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not difficult for the ministers." ”
Having said this, in fact, Li Chengqian should have said goodbye, however, Li Shimin seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "What did you just say that there are many things in this world that are even more difficult than unifying the world?" ”
"This, of course, there are a lot of them, you can think for yourself! Flying away, thousands of miles to spread the sound ······"
"Bastard boy, I've watched too many monster dramas!" Before Li Chengqian could continue, Li Shimin interrupted him, however, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, just pointed to the hot air balloons flying around in the sky, and Li Shimin was stunned again.
Although those hot air balloons need ropes to ensure safety, but a few years ago, when did he think that people can fly into the sky through such things?
And maybe once the technology to make it advances again, there will be no need to use ropes to drag it around!
At that time, who dared to say that Datang had not mastered the flying technology?
In fact, the navy, when using hot air balloons, they never need multiple hot air balloon fixing points, towed with ropes, after the battle, they will be like a boat, anchor to the ground in the gondola, the reason why Chang'an is so carefully arranged, is because of the fear of safety accidents, in a sense, Datang has now mastered the technology of this hot air balloon flying.
"Can we really do that?"
Li Shimin muttered thoughtfully, Li Chengqian thought he was asking himself, so he threw out Sun Xiangfu's original words, "As long as we dare to think, there is nothing impossible, but it will be difficult and difficult to really do these things, we need to master more knowledge, do a lot of research experiments, and the things that the students of Jiuyuan County School came to the palace to show during the Shangyuan Festival are those students who have researched, and there may be more surprises in the future." ”
Thinking of those teaching materials and the display of those students, Li Shimin was a little stunned, and after a long time, he waved his hand at Li Chengqian and motioned him to go down, and he began to enter a state of thinking.
These new technologies have gradually become the trump card of the Tang Dynasty, at present, it seems that as long as these cards are played well, it is really not a very difficult thing to unify the world, from the moment he saw the gunpowder explosion, Li Shimin already had such an idea, and if someone mastered such a thing before himself, then, no matter how much he does, it is nonsense, and people will kill you in a few strokes.
Therefore, after Li Shimin combined all these problems and thought about them, he seemed to have found a new direction for the country, that is, to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, Datang must master the most advanced science and technology, and if he controls these most cutting-edge science and technology, he will roughly control the future world.
Sun Xiangfu, who went ashore at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, did not know that Li Shimin was experiencing a great enlightenment and comprehended the truth that 'science and technology is the primary productive force', and when he saw the wharf in Guangzhou that was a little outrageous, even Sun Xiangfu felt very surprised, and he first confirmed the error of one of Li Tai's previous views, that is, in Lingnan, the Feng family must be the richest.
Just in this can't see the edge, how much money does it cost to build the wharf where thousands of ships are docked, Sun Xiangfu will not say, after seeing the infrastructure from the wharf all the way to Guangzhou City, Sun Xiangfu knows that Feng Ang is only afraid of smashing most of his belongings on the construction.
At the entrance of the passage to the outside of the wharf, after greeting each other, Feng An, Feng Zhiji and his son, invited Sun Xiangfu and Li Tai to get into a spacious carriage of the guest of honor, and the rest of their entourage will naturally have a long row of cars behind to receive them.
In the car, Li Tai sat beside Feng Ang as a junior, and also snatched Feng Zhifu's work of pouring tea and water, looking like an elder, first poured fruit tea for Feng An, and then poured a cup for Sun Xiangfu, and in the end, even Feng Zhiji was no less, but asked Sun Xiangfu to see it and nodded again and again, this guy can be regarded as entering the role, and the respect he deserves has been done to the extreme.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei can't help it, just pour tea and pour water, just teach Xiao'er to do it." Feng Ang has not seen Li Tai, because the last time he went to Dingxiang to participate in the sports conference, Li Tai was left in Jiuyuan County to plant rice, as far as today's first feeling is concerned, this Li Tai does not look like a high-ranking prince, because, although he is very fat, but the matter of pouring tea and pouring water is very slippery, and the respect in his eyes is also from the heart.
There is no way, this way, he is waiting for Sun Xiangfu to come over, and Sun Xiangfu is still instilling in him how positive the things Feng Ang does have on Southern Xinjiang, for the Tang Dynasty, and even for future generations.
Hearing Feng Ang say this, Li Tai looked like he didn't let go, and stopped Feng Zhiji, who wanted to take over, "Make, very much, Xiao Wang has no merit in the country, and suddenly has been entrusted with a heavy task by his father, and his heart is really nervous, how to manage this Lingnan Dao, and ask Feng Gong to advise Xiao Wang, you don't have to rush to Chang'an to take up your post, the military academy over there will take a year and a half to build!" When the opening period of the sports conference comes, Xiao Wang will go to Gangneung City with you to attend the meeting. ”
Hearing Li Tai's words, let alone Feng An, Feng Zhiji on the side looked at him with a much softer look, it seems that this young man who has just turned sixteen is no longer a rough child, and he is very teachable.
