Chapter Ninety-Four: The Tang Academy of Sciences
"Your Majesty has arrived!" The sharp voice dragged on in a long tone, breaking the noise of the world, and the Taiping Fang ushered in characters they couldn't think of.
The Tang Dynasty did not bow down, but the people still retreated to both sides of the road, bowing their heads and not daring to peep more.
What does it mean that the emperor brought only a small number of personal soldiers? It means that the emperor still trusts the king of Qi, and the emperor trusts the king of Qi, and the happiest thing is the people.
The Emperor's motorcade had already entered the Taiping Fang, and it was only after a long time that it returned to normal, and the number of people who signed up quickly returned to their previous appearance, unaffected by the previous episode.
I am full of expectations and ready to welcome every talent who enters the interview, but the final result is a lot of disappointment, not that they are not good enough, but that their requirements are too high.
After rejecting I don't know how many interviewers, Li Yuanji shook his head helplessly and sighed, most of the day's hard work has passed, and there is little gain, which can be called nothing, such efficiency is too low, but there is no way, I can only go to the interview in person in the early stage, and then slowly cultivate the successor talents.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here!" The new follower Chunhua bent over and bent his knees in front of him and reported in a low voice.
However, his report didn't seem to be of any use, and as soon as the words fell, Li Shimin's figure appeared in front of the main hall.
His complexion was a lot ruddy, and his yellow dragon robe looked bright and dazzling.
"I don't know if Your Majesty is here in person, and my brother is far away!" Li Yuanji hurriedly got up and apologized, pretending to be panicked.
"It doesn't matter! I heard that you are doing a good job here, so I want to go out of the palace to take a look, this is not as good as seeing with my own eyes, the Taiping Fang is in your hands, it has indeed changed a lot. Li Shimin waved his hand, his face was full of smiles, and he directly found a place to sit down, and muttered in his mouth: "Don't say it, what kind of heating is really good, the palace is warm and peaceful, and people are reluctant to leave." ”
"If Your Majesty wants, you can send some craftsmen to the palace to modify it later, and soon, three or two days, when the palace can be so warm, Your Majesty will no longer suffer from this cold." Li Yuanji was a little confused, muttering in his heart what did Li Er want to do this time?
Li Shimin also couldn't figure out Li Yuanji's routines, and after the Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuanji's behavior made Li Shimin feel more and more strange.
On the surface, it seems that everything has no intention of fighting for power, and the court meeting has not participated in it once, let alone contacted those princeling remnants, creating a good opportunity for himself to buy the old princelings. But what exactly does he want to do? Anyway, Li Shimin felt that Li Yuanji should not give up his pursuit of the throne, at least until now, he had not found a reason.
As for that place, the two brothers had also been there, but it was not a place for the living, it was a place for the sun......
"The world is still in suffering, how can I enjoy it alone?" Li Shimin shook his head, only by enduring hardships can he always remind himself that there are still many things to do, and he will not indulge in this, but after thinking about it, he was a little reluctant: "That's it, I don't need it, you send someone to the queen to transform it, the queen has been with me for so many years, and she has not enjoyed any blessings." ”
"Chunhua, you go and arrange this, transfer the best craftsmen, and by the way, pull a few carts of charcoal over to ensure the amount of this winter." Li Yuanji hurriedly stretched out his hand and commanded Chunhua.
Coal is coal, this thing is not produced much now, and it is not valuable, and it can always buy a few big cars with money, and it doesn't hurt to send it.
"You continue the interview, there will be a scientific examination in the spring of next year, I wonder if I will also add a link to the palace examination, and I will come to you to learn from it first." Li Shimin smiled, looking harmless to livestock, as if he had thought of something, and continued: "If you do yours, you should not be here." ”
Well, you've said so, what else can I do?
muttered in his heart the purpose of Li Shimin's trip, but it was by no means what he said, while letting the people who participated in the interview come in in the normal order.
interviewed five in a row, but all five were denied by Li Yuanji, they still have their own skills, but they are not the kind that Li Yuanji needs, but they spent 20 yuan to buy a very chicken technology.
Li Shimin can also see it, these people have the ability, but it's okay to make a small fuss, and they can't be put on the table at all, he also heard about yesterday's situation, and he is also very clear about Li Yuanji's requirements for recruiting people, and it is not surprising to refuse these five people, what surprises Li Shimin is that Li Yuanji is willing to spend 20 yuan to buy a useless technology.
"Yuanji, this fire is worth twenty yuan?" Li Shimin completely began to doubt life, but he felt that Li Yuanji did this on purpose, just to make people think that he was doing nonsense.
"Burning a fire is not worth twenty yuan, everyone in the world can burn fire, but the flame burned by skilled hands and raw hands is completely different, if it is only used to burn fire, it is worthless, but if it is used in other places, twenty yuan? It can only be said that this king has made a lot of money. Li Yuanji pretended to be high-profile.
"Got a lot of money? Your Highness, you don't have a fever, do you? Wei Chi Jingde touched his head, a little dizzy, and there was a smell of alcohol around him.
"If you use everything in the right place, he can do something unexpected, and vice versa. It's like the carriage, one wheel can't fit anything, but two wheels and a stick can connect it together, and that's the right place. What if this method of burning fire is used to smelt iron? ……”
"But the smelting iron has bellows, and the flames are already very strong." Wei Chi Jingde interrupted Li Yuanji's words.
"That's not enough, even if you combine the two. Therefore, this king is willing to spend twenty yuan to buy this seemingly useless technology, but in fact it is very useful, and one day in the future, this king will find the right talent, he can test according to these technologies, and improve them, and develop more advanced methods, when the time comes, the Datang smelting technology will also be upgraded by several levels, catching up, or even surpassing those foreign countries. "The iron-smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty was very backward, and the iron-smelting technology of China since ancient times was very backward.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian came out of the plug and brought back advanced iron-smelting technology from Da Yue's and other countries, and the Western Han Dynasty completely replaced the iron tools. And the technology used by the Tang Dynasty now, which has been handed down from the Han Dynasty, has long been hundreds of years behind the times.
Li Shimin frowned, he has lived in the army all the year round, how can he not know the weakness of weapons? faintly regretted a little, regretted not putting this Kaiconas and scientific expedition together, and regretted giving Li Yuanji this right.
Wei Chi Jingde seemed to understand Li Shimin's mood, his face changed suddenly, and he said in horror: "What do you want to do with this?" Aren't you going to build Taipingfang into the most luxurious and extravagant Lifang in Chang'an City? ”
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and found that he seemed to have touched his head carelessly, why did he say it so clearly?
It doesn't seem right, Lao Tzu didn't plan to rebel in the first place, so he was afraid of Mao?
"Didn't the king say he wanted this thing? You can't eat or drink, what do you want to do with this? Academy! Jingde: Do you know what the Academy of Sciences means? ”
Yu Chi Jingde shook his head violently, what do you know about this academy?
"This king is recruiting expansive talents, and the purpose of the Academy of Sciences is also to provide the most advanced technology for the imperial court. How to use it? That's the imperial court's business.
Of course, according to the plan of the king, this matter should be attributed to the imperial court, and the imperial court directly allocated money for research, and the research results were jointly owned by the imperial court and the researchers. The military technology was kept secret, and the imperial court set up a government to directly manage and build it to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.
Don't look at the cost of a project in the early stage, it may invest 100 or 1,000 yuan, but if it is really successful, it will bring 1 million, 10 million, or even more benefits. ”
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, anyway, Li Shimin feels that he believes it, what Li Yuanji said is very reasonable, which is also what they have always ignored, which is why all dynasties have to be subject to the family, if it can really succeed, the credibility of the court will completely affect every corner of the country, and even disintegrate the advantages of the family, completely eliminate the influence of the family, but ......
"As you said, now that the Academy of Sciences is responsible for you to pay for research, what about the results?"
