Chapter 249: Li Shimin, who is in urgent need of innovation

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Haoran summoned all the people who were about to serve in the first university of Datang to the school to make final preparations for the start of school.

Early in the morning of the 14th, many students had already arrived at the school one after another, and these people had come from afar and needed to stay in the school.

On the 16th, more than 1,000 students all arrived, and each of them found their place and sat down according to the notice they had received about the class they had been assigned to. Except for the different clothes of the students at this time, the others are no different from the students of later generations.

Wang Haoran proclaimed himself the governor of the first university, that is, the principal of later generations. Since the beginning of the school year, he has basically spent his mind on improving the school system and teaching methods. He felt that the importance of his university was comparable to that of thermal weapons, which made Datang peaceful, and this academy would provide Datang with a steady stream of talents in various fields, so that Datang could prosper. Moreover, everyone's lifespan is limited, and the technology of ordinary later generations, Wang Haoran will not be able to develop Datang like that in his lifetime, so Wang Haoran feels that the most important thing for him in Datang is not that he can "invent" something, but to leave innovative thinking and scientific concepts in Datang, so that future generations can use this as the basis to move forward to a more developed society!

This year was a bumper year for Wang Haoran, the school was completed and opened, three railways were opened, the train was fuel-powered, Xiaoyu's team overcame the problem of unstable current, and now the first university can be said to be as dark as day.

These three revolutionary events, the people of Datang are most concerned about Xiaoyu's electric lights, because the first school will turn on the square lights every day between dark and nine o'clock in the evening, and many people also come to watch at night, but the school does not allow outsiders to enter, so they can only look outside. This lighthouse, which is like an artificial moon, illuminates not only the night, but also the true awe of scientific innovation in the hearts of the people of Datang.

In the past, the people of Datang were envious of the researchers who could become the Wang Haoran Research Institute, because they had decent work and good remuneration, and they might also become rich and noble people with thousands of dollars because of an innovation. Now they think differently, and researchers have become sacred in their eyes, which is a good thing, at least it shows that the common people have a deep understanding of the importance of technology.

People yearn for light, and Li Shimin is also very fascinated by electric lights, so he is very generous with the rewards of Xiaoyu and others. Although he rewarded a lot of money, he knew in his heart that these women's army would care about the money. is like the two generals of the royal family, three talents and four sons, which one is not the rich one? The Women's Army has developed such a miraculous thing, can it be worse than those people?

Li Shimin has paid attention to the progress of the power station before, although Wang Haoran has pointed out from it, but it is undeniable that the power station, electric light, etc. are indeed developed by the military wisdom and sweat of this group of women. Is it true that a woman can only teach her husband and children at home? He suddenly had an idea, if a woman can make such great achievements in scientific and technological research, it may not be impossible for some women to have some good talents in governing the country? Is it necessary to break the old custom that women are not allowed to enter the profession?

Li Shimin's idea can be described as extremely bold and whimsical, but he can still think of this, and there are traces to follow. In the past ten years, new things have appeared one after another, improving the lives of the people of Datang, especially the emergence of the three major innovations of fuel-powered trains, the first university in Datang, and electric lights, which have almost completely changed the thinking of ordinary people, and scientific and technological innovation has become a hot topic of discussion. However, all this has nothing to do with the court and the royal family, and it is completely negligible, and the common people only recognize Wang Haoran and Wang Haoran's research institute, which puts a lot of pressure on the court and the royal family, and they must act and make a difference. However, in terms of science and technology, the imperial court is really unable to compete with Wang Haoran's research institute, so it can only look for changes in the imperial court system and keep up with the pace of innovation. And to break the secular concept that women are not allowed to enter the profession, Li Shimin thinks it is a good choice.

Li Shimin did not summon Wang Haoran into the palace to discuss this matter, because Wang Haoran's aura at this time was too much, if this idea was passed, I am afraid that the common people would still count this merit on Wang Haoran. Later, Li Shimin put forward this idea in the early court for the courtiers to discuss, but the result was not ideal, except for the hundred people in Enke, very few people agreed with this matter, the reason is very simple, there has never been such a precedent since ancient times, and now there are no women in the scholars, the Tang Dynasty is not also prosperous and powerful?

Li Shimin didn't listen to these reasons at all, he felt that it was all because the ministers of the DPRK and China were all stubborn old men, and if they talked about innovation, they would have a lot of ancient teachings to move out.

Annoyed, Li Shimin slapped the case and said angrily: "The ancients didn't use guns and ammunition, why do you need to use them?" The ancients didn't eat stir-fried vegetables, so why do you still eat them? The ancients didn't ride bicycles, so why do you still buy them? The opening and closing of the mouth are all the ancients, but I don't know, if the descendants can't surpass the predecessors, where will the progress come from? ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China were trained to dare not speak up anymore, and the temper of the elderly Li Shimin became bigger and bigger, and the elderly ministers became less and less courageous.

"Alas...... Haoran is still right, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new people replace the old people! ”

When Li Shimin waved his sleeves away, he dropped such a sentence, and many opposing ministers were frightened and panicked, whose post is this? Or do you want to have a big reshuffle in the imperial court?

Some self-aware ministers pondered for a few days, and felt that it was better to resign if they were removed, and if they resigned, the emperor would also see that he would be compensated for his decades of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and if he was removed, he would inevitably have some faults such as lack of ability, not to mention compensation, it would be good if there was no punishment.

So in the early days of the dynasty again, many old ministers resigned on the grounds of old age, but Li Shimin did not keep them, and approved them one by one, so naturally they still wanted to say some good things to promote their descendants.

The ministers who did not resign also made concessions, and the proposal to allow women to join the academy was finally finalized, and preparations were made to open an enkotoshi for women.

Li Shimin was also worried about the electric light when he was busy with this matter, and summoned Wang Haoran to ask him to install the electric light in the palace as well. Wang Haoran refused on the grounds that the technology was not yet mature, everyone in the palace was noble, in case anyone was curious to tinker with wires and was electrocuted, then the responsibility would be great, and it would be appropriate to wait for the technology to mature. After some deliberation, it was finally decided to build a lighthouse in front of the Xuanzheng Palace.
