Chapter 233 Whoever wants to establish, there is no hardship and danger, the road ahead is slim, and there is no smooth road
Li Chun thought about it carefully, and said, "Okay! That's a good idea! It's just that...... It's just Brother Renshi, I heard that the new method of military training is very difficult, and I'm afraid ......"
Li Chun was a little hesitant, thinking that if he could persevere, he would naturally be able to achieve the effect that Wei Renshi said. But if you can't persevere, you're afraid of making jokes and losing your reputation, and you won't have any prestige in the army in the future.
Wei Renshi saw his hesitation, and naturally could guess what he was thinking.
So he replied: "Lord Chun, if you want to establish, is there no hardship and danger, and the road ahead is slim, how can there be a smooth road?" In fact, many times, if you grit your teeth and survive it, it will be a vast sea and sky. ”
Li Chun thought carefully about Wei Renshi's words, his eyes gradually flashed with determination, he gritted his teeth again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! If you do it, do it well! I'll enter the Jinwuwei as a soldier and train under you!" ”
Wei Renshi laughed out loud and said, "Lord Chun, if I train you too hard, will you retaliate against me in the future?" ”
"That's natural, when did I, Li Chun, suffer the loss of others, and the first thing I did when I went up was to beat you up for two hundred first!" Li Chun nodded and said.
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Right now, there's one more thing." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun again: "When I first offered the method of improving iron smelting and steelmaking, I thought of taking this opportunity to obtain His Majesty's permission to set up an organization dedicated to improving and developing the armament of the army. Because at present, all the departments of the imperial court are either controlled by the eunuch party or infiltrated by the feudal town. Once there are new things and improved methods, it won't be long before they leak out. These are all things that accumulate advantages for the imperial court, and if they are won by the feudal town, the advantages of the imperial court will not be there. So be sure to keep it extremely confidential. ”
"In this new institution, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have personally selected the most trustworthy person to preside over it, and the people below must be people who are loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the Li family, and have no background in eunuchs and feudal towns." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun: "In my opinion, the only people who can reassure Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are the heirs of your generation. It's the most likely to be yours inside. Since Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have given you the matter of experimenting with the method of smelting iron and steel, if this new institution can be established, it will most likely be presided over by you. At that time, it is time for you to plant henchmen in this new institution, or to cultivate henchmen. And this organization, in the future, whenever there are new improvements or new weapons in the army, they will definitely come from it, and its status is extremely important. ”
Li Chun's expression was solemn, and he said to Wei Renshi: "Thank you Brother Renshi for reminding me!" ”
"Now that there is good steel that is easy to increase production and easy to produce, many things can be tried." Wei Renshi smiled: "I really hope that this new organization can be established soon, those drawings in my study can't wait to be made." ”
"Oh?" Li Chunda was interested.
Wei Renshi said with a smile: "It is rumored in the world that I am proficient in the art of trapping, so I naturally have to design more things to live up to my name." ”
"What's there?" Li Chun asked.
"For example, a cavalry knife suitable for cavalry combat, a composite steel crossbow that is small in size and carries a long range and is not afraid of moisture and deformation, and even a big artifact that makes people fly into the sky with a bang, hey, I really want to make all these things right away."
Li Chun asked, "Then why don't you do it?" ”
I'm a little weak now, and I can't protect those things!
Once it falls into the wrong hands, it is terrible.
Wei Renshi smiled: "Because where can bragging be so easy to make." ”
Li Chun smiled dumbly, shook his head, and asked again: "Brother Renshi, do you think that after I go back, should I take the initiative to propose the establishment of this new organization?" ”
Wei Renshi shook his head: "What does Prince Chun think?" ”
"Each has its pros and cons." Li Chun thought for a while and said, "So I want to hear what Brother Renshi thinks." ”
"Then don't go." Wei Renshi said: "At this time, it is better to have no desires and no desires. ”
Li Chun smiled and said, "Yes." It's better for me to honestly go to the army and have some experience. ”
The two returned to everyone again, and Pang Tou'er, who was in charge of burning the furnace at this moment, also came down, saw the two, and hurriedly came to meet them.
Li Chun loaded the discus that came out of the furnace, and took the horizontal knife with him, and he wanted to go back and hand it to Li Yu as soon as possible.
Wei Renshi stayed in Weinan, ready to wait for the first batch of finished products to come out of the glass kiln.
Li Chun heard Wei Renshi lift the glass, and then looked at the fired glass crystals, although they were not in the shape of any exquisite utensils, but from the perspective of texture, it was better than the glass on the market. Then he sighed again: "Alas, it's really ...... Who would have known that the priceless glass treasures, but the raw materials turned out to be so ordinary, and the river sand can be seen everywhere? Those Hu people are really hateful, they actually used this thing made of river sand to defraud my Datang money! ”
"This is called technology is the primary productive force." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun: "The so-called technology, in fact, is also skill, which refers to the knowledge, experience, skills and means accumulated in the process of long-term use and transformation of nature, and is the sum of the methods, skills and means of human beings using nature to transform nature. Whoever owns the technology owns everything. ”
"Let's use an analogy, it's like the two medical centers in West City. One is in the market, and the other is rarely noticed. It is because one family's medical skills are good, and the other's medical skills are not good, so one business is good and the other is closed. This is true for people, and it is also true for nations. ”
"Why is it that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the sale of weapons to the surrounding ethnic groups has been strictly controlled and even strictly prohibited? It's because we have the technology of 100 steel-making, and we can make hard weapons. If we have this kind of technology, we can make good weapons, but those tribesmen don't have them, so they have to spend a lot of effort to buy them from our Datang, and they will love it very much when they get an iron weapon. Strictly manage the weapons sold to them, they will rarely have good weapons to use, and when they fight, they will be at a disadvantage because the weapons are not as good as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"That's the importance of technology. For a country, technology is particularly important, and with leading technology, it is guaranteed that the country can have a leading position. ”
Wei Renshi said to Li Chun, not letting go of any opportunity that could make him realize the importance of technology, trying to plant seeds in his heart and subtly make Li Chun pay attention to technology. When he becomes the emperor in the future, he will be able to play a great role in the development of Datang technology.
