Chapter 477: Change

Wei Zheng's words still make people understand.

What is industrialized and commercialized, it is all nonsense, nonsense......

The problem they were most concerned about was the nineteen students recruited by the emperor!

What the hell do they do? And what does the emperor think about this? Importantly, did the emperor have time to teach his students?

Forehead......

Time seems to be there, after all, Li Yuanji's life is quite leisurely, although it is far from his initial expectations, but at least one-third of the time every month is at his disposal.

And in this case, the country is not declining, but thriving, and everything is so orderly, which is more shocking.

"Your Majesty is particularly important to the recruitment of students this time, and even so far, the number of people who know the inside story is probably no more than fifty." Ma Zhou thought about it, he didn't know about it, or he heard the news, but the emperor didn't tell him about his plans.

And with Ima Zhou's understanding of the emperor, there must be something unusual about this.

But where are these unusual? He didn't know.

But one thing is certain, the emperor will not come to Hulai, and he has not yet reached the age of Hu Lai, plus the words he said to Wei Zheng in the follow-up, as well as thinking of some things that happened in reality, I can't help but think of a possibility.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a great chance of this possibility, and continued: "Your Majesty focused on the matter of industrialization, and it was when Wei Xiang admonished, does this mean that the nineteen people recruited by Your Majesty this time are related to industrialization?"

In other words, we can think more deeply, industrialization has become an inevitable trend, in this regard, in fact, Your Majesty does not need to do it yourself, give an order, we can do things well.

And the invention of gunpowder, the improvement of gunpowder, bomb carts, rocket artillery, these are all inventions of His Majesty, and so far, there are not many people who really know the inside story, and all those who know the inside story, I have not had the opportunity to meet.

In addition, I have also heard that His Majesty intends to form an army on their own with those local students in the military academy, and this group of students recruited will have anything to do with this matter? ”

Ma Zhou's words were just a guess, but this guess was quickly agreed by Cheng Zhijie.

"There is such a thing, His Majesty mentioned to the old man before that when recruiting recruits this year, it is necessary to select some recruits with flexible brains, certain culture, and fast learning ability, the number of which is tentatively set at 2,000, and then these people will be arranged to serve in various places." Cheng Zhijie nodded and said directly.

It's not a secret thing, so there's no question of secrecy or not.

"According to His Majesty's idea of employing people, I am afraid that these two thousand people will be eliminated by half, or even more. And further on, the more than 100 cadets in the military academy will serve as commanders to support this new army. Becoming an independent army, such high selection requirements, and various follow-up arrangements, plus these nineteen students, if it really has anything to do with it......" Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, and the facts could basically be seen.

Although Li Jing is in charge of the military academy, and Li Jing is not a member of the cabinet, Fang Xuanling also has some understanding of the affairs of the military academy.

He knew that the more than 100 local students were trained individually, and the subjects were different from those of the officers from the army, and the important thing was that the emperor would go to the military academy every five days to give them a lesson.

Now, coupled with the requirements of this soldier, there is no need to even think about it, four years later, or three years later, when the new rifle is successfully researched, and after the students of the military academy graduate, this distributed army will have already been almost trained.

And then next, they only need one to two years of running-in, or find a place to fight, the scale does not need to be too big, important mixed experience, to engage in running-in.

Then this army will inevitably become the elite of the elite, and if these nineteen people are engaged in military affairs, then this army is also likely to be an experimental force in the future.

In other words, it will become the vane of the development of the Tang Army in the future, and there is no harm in doing so.

What's more, this is the army, and the army is under the direct control of the emperor, and if this is the case, they have no right to meddle and do not have the courage to meddle.

Of course, there is another important reason, if this is the case, then their concerns will be meaningless.

Technical talents, no matter how good they are, are only the heads of the Academy of Sciences, and the Academy of Sciences is not under their control.

In addition, most of them are technicians, and they are also engaged in technical research, which has nothing to do with politics, so it will be difficult for an outsider to get in, and it will be equally difficult for an outsider to get in, and it will be equally difficult for an insider to get out.

It's just that everyone will be wrong about what Li Yuanji meant.

Or rather, they only partially guessed right.

Chemistry talents are one of the most high-end talents of an era.

Because he is involved in a wide range of aspects, agriculture, compound fertilizers that can greatly improve the fertility of the land, which requires chemical talents to complete.

It is more widely used in business, and all the industries you can think of are inseparable from the support of chemistry.

The role of the military side is even more obvious, they can not only improve the power of gunpowder, but also through research to discover, to change the quality of steel, and use these better quality steel to make more powerful equipment.

Because there is nothing now, I feel that chemistry is so important, so important that it is unbelievable.

But in later generations, it is because there is everything, so people feel that chemistry does not seem to be important, at least not as important as imagined, but if you can calm down and understand deeply, you will find that this is not the case at all, chemistry has penetrated into every industry, even including the textile industry.

It's just that before achieving real results, Li Yuanji has no plans to leak this matter.

On another level, these students recruited by Li Yuanji are the top priority of Datang in the future, and his level even surpasses that of the Academy of Sciences.

Because the Academy of Sciences belongs to scientific research institutions, although these people are the same, but their main direction of attack is a variety of materials, and it can even be said unceremoniously that the achievements of the Academy of Sciences depend on the quality of these materials.

Although this meeting made these cabinet members not accurately guess Li Yuanji's thoughts, it was not completely without benefits.

For example, Li Yuanji's warning made them realize their problems.

Although this awareness was not particularly profound, after this meeting, the cabinet members changed their minds and gradually shifted their energy from agriculture to industry.

Whether the core idea is correct or not, at least this approach is beneficial to the advancement of industrialization.

And the immediate impact of the next is that the cabinet quickly came up with a precise plan.

……

Less than four days before the Cabinet members have just finished their small meeting, the day of the next Cabinet meeting is coming.

In just four days, more than a dozen cabinet members came up with a general plan.

When making this plan, they realized that in fact, Li Yuanji had been laying out a few years ago, but no one saw that this was a layout at that time, but simply thought that the imperial court had other income, so they wanted to reduce the burden on the people.

"Your Majesty, in recent times, the ministers and others have discussed some issues of promoting the process of industrialization, and found some institutional difficulties, so they have summarized them and come up with some preliminary opinions." Although Fang Xuanling no longer holds the position of secretary of the ministry, his status in the cabinet has not changed.

The main reason is because Li Yuanji doesn't have this idea, otherwise, it will definitely be Xiao Yu who will replace him.

And Xiao Yu doesn't care about these, he belongs to the kind of person who will do him well if you give it to me, and if you don't give it to me, you won't rob it, this kind of character makes many people like it, but it also makes many people hate it.

"First of all, the biggest difficulty in the development of industrialization lies in capital and technology, now businessmen are more willing to retail sales, the thinking has not been completely changed, and the investment is too large, and there is no technology, so this also limits the process of industrialization.

In this regard, the cabinet unanimously agreed that the solution to this problem is to appropriately lower the lending interest rate of the money bank to attract more people to come and lend, and then the Academy of Sciences will open up some of the technologies so that the private sector can obtain these technologies and use them for the development of industry and economy.

Before that, the model of the Academy of Sciences was often to invest in technology, but for those workshops founded by the people, the scale was basically too small, and it was not realistic for the technology to become shareholder, so the ministers felt that it was better to let the people pay a fee to obtain the technical authorization of the Academy of Sciences, so that the Academy of Sciences could be regarded as an additional source of income, and it could also reduce some of the financial pressure on the imperial court.

On the other hand, vigorously promoting industrialization may lead to a shortage of cultivating labor, but this problem will not be particularly obvious in the short term, but ten years later, twenty years later, perhaps only a few years, this problem will be highlighted, so, the minister and others suggested, when necessary, can appropriately increase the price of grain protection, to ensure that there are enough people to continue to farm, and to avoid Datang for this reason to fall into a food shortage! ”

Li Yuanji nodded lightly, but he was slightly happy in his heart, these brainless people finally began to want to use their brains.

The methods that Fang Xuanling said are advanced and not new, but they are the most direct and effective methods.

Of course, due to the problem of experience, their policy is not even bold enough, so in front of Li Yuanji, a later generation, it can only be said to be decent.

But it's also a lot better to be in a proper way than not knowing how to think about it before, at least, they're already changing, aren't they?
