Li Yuanjing's plan for the imperial court is actually not difficult, and any person in the future can think of it.

Some of the details are a bit of a stretch, but some of them are completely frames.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that someone will help him improve it.

These people's well-developed plans, while they may be a little conservative, are also more realistic.

The current Datang can be said to be dominant, whether it is the surrounding or Western countries, it does not have the strength to compete with Datang.

And as long as Li Chengqian can grow up, whether there will be any troubled times behind the Tang Dynasty will be two different things, at least the Wuzhou era is unlikely to appear.

With the accumulation of dozens or hundreds of years of experience, will Datang not be able to support this important task alone by that time?

"I divide this plan into six categories: agriculture, industry, education, economy, military, and science." Li Yuanjing said slowly.

"Science?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned, he could understand the first five, but what the hell is the last science?

"Science is a general term, and there are many things involved below, for example, medicine belongs to the category of science, but this has some similarities with education, but there are also differences, and it is only used to study and deal with unsolved diseases, and when there is a method, it will be promoted.

Therefore, this not only requires the vigorous investment of the imperial court, but also needs to give these personnel a certain amount of treatment, and even official positions, otherwise, how can they teach outsiders what they have researched? The idea of keeping money must gradually change, otherwise more and more good things will gradually be lost.

In addition to medicine, there are a lot of chaotic disciplines, such as the study of different cement formulations, which can make cement achieve different strengths, etc., these things may not have results for a while, but as long as continuous investment, always ensure confidence in it, there will be a blowout one day, and at that time, everywhere Datang goes, no one will be subordinate! Li Yuanjing said calmly.

He didn't list this subject in too much detail, and some people would naturally worry about which one to list, he just put forward a concept and a general framework.

Of course, the most detailed is the economy, in addition to the military mentioned earlier.

Li Yuanjing is not an expert in this regard, but he is not a cat or a dog, and his years of experience can still make him make a more forward-looking decision.

"The most important thing is the economy, the only thing that can compete with it is education, only by constantly cultivating new talents, can we ensure the smooth progress of other projects, but if there is no money to support it, everything can only be empty talk."

"After more than a year of development, the people have gradually accepted the fact that gold and silver are used as currency, and now few people exchange them anymore, except when necessary.

Therefore, the imperial court can come up with more money to develop the economy, which will make the imperial court get a greater relief in terms of finances, so that there is more money to do things, and at the same time, the money can be drained out so as not to cause inflation. Li Yuanjing continued.

"It's not that simple!" Li Shimin shook his head this time.

He naturally knows that he needs to develop the economy, and his focus has been in this area in the past few years, although he has achieved good results, but it is still too far from the expected situation.

And Li Shimin also knows the reason, the people can't afford it!

To put it bluntly, it is still poor, it is not a commodity that is really needed, and most people do not buy it if they can.

Therefore, the workshops that have been opened so far are almost sufficient, and the goods produced by the workshops opened in Lingnan are not aimed at the mainland, which is specially set up for the South China Sea region.

Otherwise, once the goods there are put into the local market, the market will collapse instantly, and the merchants will squeeze a large number of goods and cannot sell.

"In fact, it is very simple, to develop the economy, in addition to having enough commodities, it also requires the people to have enough purchasing power, and there is no need to worry too much about commodities at present, what the imperial court needs to do is to find a way to improve the purchasing power of the people.

To put it bluntly, it is to find ways for the people to make money, not just relying on agriculture as a basis for survival.

At present, there are only a few ways for ordinary people to go, to grow food through labor, and then to exchange for money, or to enter the workshop to work, but most of this part of the work is occupied by wounded soldiers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in, and the rest is to run errands with some private shops to make some money. Li Yuanjing directly said the current situation of Datang.

"So what do you want to do? This is the entire Datang, not as simple as one place! Li Shimin frowned, even if he opened a workshop in every county, he couldn't let everyone go in and work, and there was no point in doing so, who would sell the things he made? If no one buys it, it can only be smashed in their own hands, and then the loss will be even more.

"I really can't find any projects to build roads and bridges! If it doesn't work, you can dig a canal, build a city wall or something! Li Yuanjing smiled cheaply.

"Uncle Wang, don't laugh at this time, who would dare to do such a thing that costs the people and money? The lesson of the former Sui is right in front of you! Li Chengqian reminded angrily.

"No!" Li Yuanjing shook his head very resolutely and denied Li Chengqian's view.

He continued: "The demise of the former Sui is not related to the canal, although it is true that there is some labor and money, but at this point I have to admire the foresight and courage of Emperor Yang of Sui, as long as this canal can be properly repaired, it can bring benefits to future generations in the next thousand years, not to mention far, even now, this canal is also the main channel for Chang'an to connect with the Jiangnan region."

Building roads and bridges has never been a matter of labor and money, but a major event that benefits tens of millions of people, and the fault is not in the matter itself, but in the short-sightedness of the superiors.

In the past, those who did these jobs were all conscripted laborers, who ate the worst every day, did the hardest and most tiring work, and were punished for failing to complete the task.

But now it's different, let's learn the lessons of our predecessors, isn't there a lot of gold and silver that is nowhere to be used? Then use it to build roads and bridges?

In the past, it was conscription, but now we are still recruiting labor, but it is not mandatory, but voluntary, and the people who come to work must accept our management, we not only manage food and housing, but also pay them, they used to work for nothing, but now they are here to make money, do you think they will still think that this is labor and money? They wish you would build roads every day! ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing paused, and then said: "And don't underestimate this matter, this can only be regarded as an introduction, these people who work to make money make money, even if they are reluctant to spend it, they will take out some for their children to spend, is this indirectly stimulating the market around the world?" The shop sells more goods, so it is natural to replenish the purchase, does this increase the shipment volume of the workshop?

The shipment volume of the workshop is large, and the supply exceeds the demand, is it necessary to find a way to expand the production capacity? Do you want to increase the number of people? Adding equipment? In the same way, should the workshop that manufactures the equipment also need to increase the number of people? If Datang can fully roll out the road construction plan, it will be able to help millions of people find stable jobs in the next three years.

Having a job means having money, and having money means that you won't be saving as much as before, and is road building really just a single investment by the imperial court?

No, if the road is good, the speed of the caravan will naturally increase, and it originally took ten days to travel, but now it may be enough for six or seven days, and the time saved can be used to do more things?

The most important thing is that if the road is good, will the army be able to go faster? ”
