"Seemingly, there is some truth." After listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Li Shimin and the generals thought deeply at the same time. Zhang Zheng's opinion is a good idea, and there is no end to the development of things.

As Zhang Zheng said, firearms have just appeared in the world to show amazing power, so what if you continue to study deeply.

With the ideas provided by Zhang Zheng, Li Shimin thought more. This can be true with firearms, but it can also be true with other things.

For example, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and other state departments that are immersed in hard work, can they be subdivided again? Separating administration from research can accelerate the development of the entire Datang society?

Just a train of thought, Li Shimin's thoughts spread far away. In an instant, I thought of many ways that seemed feasible, each of which could speed up the accumulation of Datang's national strength.

But these are all afterwords, ideas are ideas, and practice is practice. Li Shimin is very clear on this point.

History has never lacked examples of good governance turning into bad government when it goes down to the local level. The most important thing now is to return to the present and start to solve the problems caused by the birth of firearms.

It is easy to say that a separate department should be set up to complete the manufacturing, supervision, assembly and other issues of firearms.

However, there are many problems to be faced in practice. Not to mention whether the state treasury can bear the expenditure, firearms are still a weapon in the final analysis, and whether the military department, which is in charge of the ordnance supervision, can agree to it.

Can the prime ministers of the three provinces support the establishment of a separate department for the study of new weapons? Even if it can be successfully established, it is inevitable to set up officials to manage it, and if there is an official position, there will be interests involved.

How to keep it secret, how to deploy it, and which unit to equip with the firearms first...... All kinds of cumbersome things are definitely not something that can be decided with a few words and a pat on the brain.

Even the administrative management model of the three provinces and six ministries, which is now a little rough in Li Shimin's eyes, was finally formed after hundreds of years of running-in tests in the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's a difference in the height of being at a different level, and a different way of looking at a thing. In Zhang Zheng's view, this is what Li Shimin said in one sentence.

But what Li Shimin sees is the various involvements behind it. Just like the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Royal Academy, Zhang Zheng's most intuitive feeling is the assassinations one after another, as well as the impeachment of himself.

Although the knowledge and experience from later generations, as well as the understanding of the general trend of history, allow Zhang Zheng to quickly peel back the cocoon and find the core of the complexity.

But there are some things that you can't do with your vision and insight. Therefore, what Zhang Zheng can see, Li Shimin can see, but what Li Shimin wants to consider, Zhang Zheng may not be able to consider it all.

For Li Shimin, the Tang Royal Academy must be established, which is to lay a century-old foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and he can bear some sacrifices.

But this new weapon, or firearm. For the Tang Army, it is the icing on the cake.

After all, even without this thing, the Tang Army is invincible in the world.

"Since you have a draft in mind, then I will draw up an excerpt for me to see when I go back, and in addition, you can also participate in the Great Pilgrimage Meeting of Renri. The stakes are too high, and I need to think about it. In the end, Li Shimin made a final decision.

didn't hear the answer he wanted, Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, could it be that he didn't say it clearly enough?

Or did Li Shimin fail to sort out the benefits behind this? You must know that in the past, Li Shimin's opinions on himself were almost always replied to on the spot, but this time it was postponed to the people's day meeting, what does this mean?

Zhang Zheng, who didn't give up, wanted to say something more, but Zhang Gongjin shook his head lightly. Seeing that his father stopped him, Zhang Zheng had no choice but to hold what he wanted to say in his heart, and then bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Yes, Weichen can save it." Li Shimin waved his hand lightly: "The secret recipe is still in your mind for the time being, okay, today Yuanzheng, let's go back for the holiday." ”

"Yes, the ministers are leaving!" The generals got up, bowed to Li Shimin, and then exited the main hall.

Today's delay in the Taiji Palace has been long enough, so after leaving the palace, the veterans will go back to their homes after saying goodbye.

The two brothers returned home after the explosion in the church, and they left the palace, only Zhang Zheng, who was full of unwillingness, followed behind his father Zhang Gongjin, with a look of disgruntle.

"Why, do you think that your loyalty and patriotism have been let down?" Zhang Gongjin looked at his youngest son's face full of unwillingness, and felt a little funny in his heart.

This youngest son of his own family is smart enough, and he does not lack pattern and wisdom. It's just that maybe it's too young or something, and this vision is still too one-sided in looking at some things.

But at this age, it's not bad. Zhang Zheng, who was told what he was thinking by his father, replied with some grievances: "No, the child just thinks that the child's proposal is beneficial to Datang, why doesn't Your Majesty agree?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty didn't say that you disagreed." Zhang Gongjin smiled, and took Zhang Zheng and a group of guards to walk slowly towards Zou Guogong's mansion, neither riding a car nor riding a horse.

It seems that he has made up his mind to educate Zhang Zheng well.

"But ......" Zhang Zheng was still a little angry, but he was interrupted by Zhang Gongjin before he could say anything: "No, things in the world are not only good and bad, and the sky may not only be black and white, you think about it again." Zhang Zheng was stunned, didn't His Majesty agree on the spot and have other deep meanings?

I couldn't help but follow my father's words and began to think carefully, but the footsteps did not stop, but there was no resentment on his face.

Zhang Gongjin saw that his youngest son quickly fell into deep thought, nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking. He has always been very confident in his youngest son's wisdom, and there are some things that don't need to be said thoroughly, just a few words.

To put it bluntly, this is the small people thought that Zhang Zheng brought from later generations. We can only see the advantages and disadvantages of things in our eyes, but ignore the gray areas in them.

Just like when the firearm just exploded, the feeling of uselessness that rose in the hearts of the veterans, Zhang Zheng did not take it into account.

But Li Shimin had to consider that the old generals fought for him all his life, and it was not until he was old that he finally earned a glory and wealth.

If a few small clay pots and jars are used to replace their personal skills, what do these veterans who have fought for the Tang Dynasty all their lives think?

There are also those interests that Li Shimin is worried about, in Zhang Zheng's thoughts, it is nothing more than setting up a few more official positions.

But behind the official position represents power, where does this power come from, how is it divided, and to whom?

These are all gray areas that Zhang Zheng did not take into account. Judging a matter should not only be good or bad, but also look at the impact of the matter.
