"Really." Zhou Jinyan gritted his teeth and said helplessly.

"Quickly have someone bring it to me." Li Shimin was overjoyed, "If this thing is used in war, especially in water warfare, we will have a great effect." ”

Zhou Jinyan was speechless: "This thing is indeed good, but there is only one at present." ”

Li Shimin said disappointedly: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"Bought from a foreign merchant." Zhou Jinyan continued to make up.

"Is there such a magical thing abroad?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "What I don't have in the Tang Dynasty, how can they be barbarians?" ”

Zhou Jinyan sweated for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Can you make it?" Li Shimin said solemnly: "This thing is very important, if it can be made and used in the military, it will be a great merit." ”

Zhou Jinyan's eyes rolled, and he subconsciously asked, "What credit?" ”

Li Shimin scolded with a smile: "You kid really has something to hide, so let's do it, if you can make a telescope, I will make you the founder of the county, eat 300 households, and reward 500 acres of Yongye field from the five grades." ”

There are a total of nine titles in the Tang Dynasty, and the founding county male is the lowest first-class, but it is no longer a position that ordinary people can get.

You know, it's hereditary.

But the telescope, Zhou Jinyan is really not sure to make it.

Now there is glass, the glass is not so clear, what convex and concave, if you want to make a telescope, it is too difficult.

Although the county man is good, he is not so easy to take.

Therefore, Zhou Jinyan shook his head, "Your Majesty, the production of the telescope is too complicated, and the minister may not be able to do it." ”

"I think you're not happy with my reward, right?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"How dare you," Zhou Jinyan said: "Now I am just a white body, if I can have a knighthood, where will I dislike it." ”

Li Shimin was noncommittal, "In this way, if you can make it, you will be named the founding county, with 500 households in the food district, and 800 acres of Yongye field will be rewarded on the five products." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not a question of titles......"

"Huh?" Li Shimin lowered his face, "Isn't it because you're not satisfied with the reward?" ”

Seeing that he was unhappy, Zhou Jinyan also knew each other very well now, so he had to say: "Then I'll try, but the palace craftsmen in His Majesty's palace have to be called by the ministers, otherwise there is really no way to do it with me." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Is this thing really so difficult to get?" ”

Zhou Jinyan thought of the later development of science and technology abroad, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Although those barbarians are still not comparable to us, their science and technology are progressing faster than ours. For example, this glass technology, our Datang is far from being able to compare, and it can be seen from the telescope. ”

Zhou Jinyan is naturally nonsense, the first telescope was created by chance in 160|8, a Dutch optician engineer.

Now it is only 633 A.D. It's almost a thousand years ahead.

The reason why Zhou Jinyan said this is just to be vigilant against future generations.

Of course, that's all he can do.

Li Shimin gasped, "Barbarian has such an IQ? ”

Zhou Jinyan said in his heart Everyone thinks so from you, so you will be knocked on the door in the future.

"Your Majesty, just like the Turks, their weapons are far less advanced than ours, but they have developed from generation to generation, constantly pursuing progress, and compared with the beginning, they are actually very close to our Datang Wen civilization."

Seeing Li Shimin's thoughtful appearance, Zhou Jinyan continued: "Our Datang is strong in force, and naturally we are not afraid of any foreign enemy, but they are barbaric, but they are always in a dangerous situation, which requires them to continue to develop and evolve their weapons. ”

"When we were stuck, they were taking one step at a time, although they did not catch up, they were always closing the distance."

At the end of the point, Zhou Jinyan didn't want to say anything more.

"I really didn't expect you to have such insight," After a long time, Li Shimin sighed: "What you said is very reasonable, but you are a little wrong." ”

Zhou Jinyan was stunned.

Li Shimin stood up and said in a majestic tone, "I, Datang, are tolerant of all things, and I am not as ignorant of progress as you say." If the Turks can make an inch, my Datang can make an inch, and my Datang meteorology, how can it be compared with a mere barbarian? ”

Zhou Jinyan was silent.

Maybe what Li Shimin said is right, but what will happen in the near future is another matter.

What he said was nothing more than vigilance.

I don't expect Li Shimin to change anything.

Li Shimin sat down again, his brows furrowed.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "Sincerely, how do you say that my Datang can always progress faster than others?" ”

Zhou Jinyan was taken aback, Li Shimin really deserves to be a famous gentleman, and it is too rare to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

"Well, I think we can set up a special official position for those who are good at invention and creation, and encourage invention and creation."

"Go on."

"For example, engraving printing, movable type printing, these are all great inventions, and they should be rewarded......."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately laughed and scolded: "You kid has been talking for a long time, and you still don't want to benefit yourself?" ”

Zhou Jinyan was noncommittal, and continued: "There are also improvements in weapons, such as gunpowder and the like, whether they can also be used in weapons, in short, anything that can promote social progress, I think we have to give a great reward, because these will eventually promote the development of Datang and benefit the future." ”

Li Shimin was not as excited as Zhou Jinyan thought, but said lightly: "Then who do you say should be formed for this matter?" ”

Zhou Jinyan spread his hands, "How do I know, I just gave a suggestion, for such a talent, if Your Majesty needs it, I will go to the newspaper to help Your Majesty find it." I think many people are still willing to serve their country. ”

Zhou Jinyan's words successfully diverted Li Shimin's attention.

In the end, Li Shimin said that he wanted to think about it, but Zhou Jinyan didn't ask.

In this predominantly agrarian society, the status of the craftsman is not as low as that of the merchants, but it is not much better.

Li Shimin can listen to it, in fact, it is already very remarkable.

Regarding his proposal to see Changle, Li Shimin naturally agreed.

It's just a day in advance.

Zhou Jinyan rushed to Fengyang Pavilion.

When I arrived at Fengyang Pavilion, I found that the gate of the palace was closed, and after knocking for a while, no one opened the door.

"Where?"

Zhou Jinyan thought about it for a long time, but he had no clue, so he had to go to Gaoyang's palace to have a look.

"Lang Jun?"

Coming to the gate of Princess Gaoyang's palace, as soon as the door was opened, a voice of surprise immediately came from inside.

"Poria cocos, long time no see."

Zhou Jinyan rubbed the little girl's head.

Poria turned slightly red, and said softly: "The princess and Princess Gaoyang are both inside, who is Lang Jun looking for?" The latest chapter of "Hundred Plating" mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a horse claw book house" is free to read for the first time.
