Nothing can be done overnight.

It can even be said that since Li Yuanji came to this era, the gap between him and this era has appeared.

The collision of cultural ideas of two different eras will inevitably end in failure.

The difference is that Li Yuanji, who was originally on the disadvantaged side, has the identity of the emperor.

This identity solves a lot of problems, and also blocks a lot of troubles for Li Yuanji, so that his ideas can be realized step by step.

It can be said that the construction of the Academy of Sciences, the reform of the armed forces, and the implementation of commercialization have all come step by step.

And before that, Li Yuanji's attitude was more similar to that of boiling a frog in warm water, not in a hurry, and doing it slowly until it brought benefits, so that they no longer resisted and doubted.

Or rather, it can be said that all these things can bring to these ministers is the impact of life and feelings, and to a certain extent, it is beneficial to them.

But Li Yuanji enrolled nineteen students in one go, so the meaning was different.

This year it can be nineteen, next year it can be fifty, sooner or later, this court will eventually become the territory of the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

If those previous actions brought good changes to their lives, then now, Li Yuanji's actions are impacting their status and the rights and interests of their descendants.

That's why there are so many opposing voices in the DPRK and China, so Wei Zheng can't help but come to the door to advise.

But before this, no one had ever considered a question, that is, why did Li Yuanji do this in today's good situation?

Li Yuanji is still very young, his thinking is still very regular, and he is still long from the confused days of his old age, it is hard to imagine that an emperor would make such a foolish decision when he was young, and this emperor was still so shrewd before this.

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, but they didn't think of this.

Feeling Li Yuanji's great disappointment, Wei Zheng left the palace, and the cabinet members gathered in the cabinet again.

It's just that this time the atmosphere is not as cheerful as before, or the face is red for one thing.

The oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire cabinet hall, and everyone frowned tightly.

"In this way, Your Majesty's decision this time is that we will be wrong?" Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled, but the news brought by Wei Zheng was indeed proving in this regard.

"Ma Xiang, what do you think about this?" Huangfu Wuyi looked at Ma Zhou.

Between the cabinets, they still call each other by their faces, although the names have changed and there are more people, but in fact, the responsibilities are still the same, and everyone is used to it, so it has continued.

Ma Zhou was cultivated by Li Yuanji, from Chang'an to Zhenbei, and then from Zhenbei to Chang'an, he walked into such a high position at a young age, which was amazing, but he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh, secretly sighing why he didn't have this life?

Since Ma Zhou took office, his political achievements have not been outstanding, and can only be said to be decent, and for other members of the cabinet, such achievements are not unacceptable.

After all, it was just a newly established yamen, although the level was high, but no one had experience in this area, and they were the emperor's side, everyone belonged to different yamen, so no one dared to provoke him.

Huangfu Wuyi's words brought everyone's attention to Ma Zhou.

If you talk about the degree of understanding of the emperor, here is Ma Zhou's best understanding.

"I don't know!" Ma Zhou shook his head, he did know a lot about contact, this is common sense, but there are some things that cannot be guessed with common sense.

And the emperor is obviously one of them, how can the emperor's mind be so easy to guess?

Of course, this is also a little inappropriate, because most of the time, the ministers still have to guess the emperor's thoughts, so that many things can make everyone have face.

But obviously, Ma Zhou didn't guess this.

"Your Majesty has always acted without rules, but if you look back after seeing more, you will feel that there is a reason for doing so, although I have been with Your Majesty for many years, but I can't see through this matter." Ma Zhou continued to explain, and this was the only thing he could explain.

It was also before that that that he was allowed to remain the status quo and be the only one in the entire cabinet who did not take a stand.

Ma Zhou knew that Li Yuanji must have a reason to do this, but what is this reason? He couldn't guess, let alone see, so he didn't dare to judge or stop others.

"Then what do you think of Your Majesty's statement that we are pedantic? Could it be that we really can't keep up with His Majesty's pace? Xiao Yu said angrily.

Although his relationship with most people is not good, and he has recently won the trust of the emperor, in this matter, Li Yuanji's words still made Xiao Yu feel a little sad.

"Not necessarily, if Your Majesty really thinks so, I'm afraid you won't tell me to wait for these words, but for us, it's imminent now, if you can't understand Your Majesty's meaning, and take action, it is estimated that next time I will be replaced one by one." Fang Xuanling shook his head, although he couldn't guess it, he was sure that he could guarantee this.

Others also nodded in agreement, the more they talked, the more they cared, and the most feared was the kind of time when they didn't say anything, and only this time represented the most dangerous.

"Your Majesty has focused on the issue of industrialization, and you have mostly stayed in the DPRK over the years, and rarely have the opportunity to go down and walk around, but I often go down and walk around with this responsibility, and now Your Majesty mentions this matter, but it reminds me of some things before." Ma Zhou thought about Li Yuanji's words, and then thought about the people and things he had encountered in the past few years, and seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart.

No one came to disturb Ma Zhou, even if he stopped at this time and did not continue.

But everyone remained quiet, quietly waiting for Ma Zhou to continue.

"His Majesty emphasized two different ideas, one was agricultural and the other was industrial. Agricultural thought is our current thinking, and it is also the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and even the previous dynasty, but over the years, the fact of establishing a country based on agriculture has undergone subtle changes, maybe you haven't realized it, but I often walk around below, and I have come into contact with a lot of people and things, so I feel a little emotional.

It can even be said that the reason why Datang can have its current achievements is not because of the experience and lessons of its ancestors, but by industrial thinking, which is very small and even imperceptible, but if you calm down and think about it carefully, it is not difficult to feel his existence.

The four-wheeled carriage, the appearance of the Yuan Rang plow, and the waterwheel, these facilities closely related to agriculture are actually the embodiment of industrial capacity.

In addition to these, the railroad being built outside the city, the cement road from Chang'an to Luozhou that has been laid, and even the cement, even grenades, rocket launchers, bomb trucks, and even the new muskets, and the acclaimed beer, are all manifestations of industry.

If there is no industry, the current Datang will be better than the beginning of the country, but in fact it is not much better, think about the past, and then think about the present, you will have some answers in your hearts.

And the thing that makes me feel the most is that many of the proposals of the Ministry of Development cannot be fully supported at the local level, and some of them are local officials who believe that this will affect local food production, which will lead to more people unintentionally farming, but on the other hand, they also want to increase economic income, and compared with the two, there are often more people who choose the former, because there will be no risk, which is also one of the reasons why the Ministry of Development has not achieved outstanding political performance over the years......" Ma Zhou said and listed everything he could think of.

Of course, these are just a few examples, and there are many more that have not been listed.

But in these words, a problem was explained to everyone, their food, clothing, housing, and use were all inseparable from industry.

Although no one realizes this, industry has already quietly come to them, conquered them, and accepted them.

These words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Tsai carefully thought about everything that Ma Zhou mentioned, and then tried to contact the industry, mentioned, not mentioned, as long as he could think of it, it seemed that it could have something to do with the industry.

I don't think there's anything to think about, but when I think about it, it really makes everyone break out in a cold sweat.

The emperor is right, they are to face the reality of industrialization with the old ideas, use the old ideas to guide, and develop a modern society, which will inevitably cause big problems, and this problem will be reflected in all aspects.

No one had ever thought that farming had anything to do with industrialization, but now they don't.

Before that, everyone thought that Datang's two focuses were agriculture and commerce, but they never thought that the development achievements of these two industries were inseparable from industry, including other industries.

And after thinking about it, the benefits of industrialization naturally came to their minds.

The biggest benefit is that the labor force is freed up, and what would have taken two people to do can now be done by one person.

And the extra person can focus on other places, and the emergence of a large number of workshops and commerce will inevitably require a large number of working people, and these people who have been liberated can fill this vacancy.

Work, there is money, there is money, there is money, you have to consume, and consumption, will naturally bring the production capacity of the workshop, more workshops, more production capacity, more production capacity, prices will naturally fall, prices are low, and the people's desire to consume will be stronger.

This is a serial set, which traps people step by step, but this is a benign serial set, which makes people come and go, and what finally changes is the lives of the people.

Before that, everyone's first choice was still agriculture, which is why Li Yuanji said that they were old-fashioned.

"But what does this have to do with His Majesty's recruitment of students?" Wei Zheng still couldn't figure it out.
