Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Li Shimin was not polite and ate it in one bite.

In this way, the body finally recovered.

"ah…."

Li Shimin let out a long breath and looked at the wine bowl with fear in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, would you like some other wine?"

Fang Xuanling asked quickly.

Li Shimin shook his head.

He raised his glass again.

But this time, he was much more cautious. He followed what the shopkeeper said, took a sip, and then took another bite.

Although it was still a little difficult to swallow it, this time it was different from before.

After the strong burning sensation subsided, a fragrant aroma rose, leaving an endless aftertaste in the mouth.

Li Shimin smacked his mouth, couldn't help but take another sip, and then took a bite of the fried pork intestines.

This taste….

hiss….

Li Shimin took a gentle breath, and his eyes became brighter.

He is also a drinker. When he was in battle, he didn't have enough wine on hand? Even as an emperor, he would still have a few drinks from time to time. He knew what was good and what was bad.

Feeling the taste in his mouth, Li Shimin smashed his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Beautiful, Emperor Dayan, he is really...I really doubt that he is a god now."

"This wine is fragrant! So fragrant! The aftertaste is endless! This is the real endless aftertaste!!"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly. Even though he had endless prejudice against Dayan in his heart, even though he had endless jealousy towards Emperor Dayan in his heart, he still praised him.

Emperor Dayan knows wine!

He must understand wine, otherwise, he would never be able to develop such a high-quality wine!

Li Shimin took another sip and added another chopstick dish. He felt as if he was going to heaven.

This is wine!

How did you feel about the wine you drank before?

Experience, compared to Dayan Wine, is simply no experience.

When Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, and Pei Ji saw this, they all poured themselves a bowl.

The aroma of wine overflows.

Hops galore.

Clear to the bottom.

It was not like the wine they drank before, it was full of impurities.

How good is this?

It's just like the color of water, but the previous wines from Datang, because the craftsmanship was too crude, came in various colors, green, black, gray...

Everyone took a sip.

All at once, swarms of painful masks.

Quickly drink tea and eat vegetables.

But after the difficulty passed, his face looked as if he had eaten honey.

Everyone took another sip and ate some food, feeling countless aromas intertwining, rising and falling in their mouths.

"Comfortable!"

Cheng Yaojin spoke.

"It's really comfortable. After this sip of wine, my scalp is numb and my soul seems to be trembling." Fang Xuanling's face suddenly turned red, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but just raised the wine bowl.

Everyone clinked glasses.

Eat and drink.

This time, their appetites were bigger.

This time, they drank the best wine they had ever drunk in their lives, and truly tasted the fine wine.

And just when the diners in the inn were about to finish leaving, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and Gaiwenda hurriedly walked in from outside.

Kong Yingda stood in front of the inn for a week, and then went straight to Li Shimin and the others.

After all, it was already past noon.

There were far fewer diners, and the dozen or so people at Li Shimin's table were also extremely conspicuous.

"Oh, Your Majesty, rush away and they are here."

Naturally, both Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui saw the three of them and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up quickly, and turned around to look.

"Mr. Kong, Mr. Yu, Mr. Gai, hurry, hurry, hurry, please sit down, please sit down."

"Waiter, bring me three more pairs of bowls and chopsticks!"

Li Shimin greeted.

The waiter responded and quickly added three pairs of chopsticks and three stools.

Kong Yingda and the three of them sat down.

"I've met your Majesty, I've met your empress, I've met all my lords. I apologize for the inconvenience here and the inability to salute."

Kong Yingda took a breath and bowed his hands to everyone.

"This morning, the experiment at the college was really delayed for too long, otherwise I could have come here earlier."

"Your Majesty and your lords, please atone for your sins."

Kong Yingda's last gaze fell on Li Shimin.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just got up. I've been exhausted these past few days. I slept very late last night, so I won't delay things."

"So, Mr. Kong, you haven't eaten yet, right? Guys, bring the menu, Mr. Kong, you can order some more dishes. Look at what's on the table, we can almost eat it."

Li Shimin smiled, waved his hand and said softly.

"No, no, Your Majesty, that's enough."

"Look, there's still so much left in this dish. How much can we three old men eat?"

"Dude, there's no need to come over!"

Kong Yingda hurriedly refused.

When Li Shimin heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

Fang Xuanling filled the three glasses of wine.

"Chongyuan, listening to what you said, it seems that you have learned a lot during this time in Yanyun City."

"Experiment, I don't know what knowledge you have learned. Tell us about it and let us listen."

"Hahaha, you don't know, after we entered Dayan from Pu County, our brains exploded."

"Da Yan far surpasses Datang in all aspects. Fortunately, you came here to study. Otherwise, Datang would never be able to catch up."

Fang Xuanling laughed softly.

"Yes, Chongyuan, Shinan, Wenda, this time our Tang Dynasty's hope rests on your shoulders."

"Look at these cars, steel mills, power plants, textile industry, etc. in Dayan. It's scary."

"But what about our Tang Dynasty? Except for a few small workshops, people do handicrafts. How can they compare with these large industries?"

"In fact, even the crops in the fields are not comparable to those of our Tang Dynasty now."

"If we delay any longer, even if Datang pursues him fiercely, he may not be able to see the back of Great Yan."

Pei Ji also sighed and echoed.

In just a few days, all of them were really shocked beyond measure by Dayan.

difficult!

difficult!

Disaster! !

Kong Yingda and the three of them smiled bitterly after hearing this, looked at each other, and sighed.

The three of them were slightly silent. They could understand the meaning of these words.

It seems that the three of them are really going to be recalled.

But is it really useful for them to go back?

To be honest, their expertise was of almost no help to Datang.

Not to mention,

It is too difficult to seize some industries from the hands of clan clans and so on, and then carry out reforms.

After a little bit of fiddling, it's the bottom line for ten years.

Regardless of Dayan, it took several years to reach the current situation, which was mainly due to the concerted efforts of Emperor Dayan and Dayan officials.

of course,

The most important one is Emperor Dayan's extraordinary wisdom.

Only Emperor Dayan could handle such a situation, otherwise, no one else would be able to do it.

Datang, of course, can’t do it either.

They understand the Tang Dynasty very well.

The right time, the right place, the right people, and almost everything.

After a moment, Kong Yingda slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the time is too short, and Dayan has too much knowledge. The various majors are extremely complicated, including the evolutionary direction of my research, the aerodynamics studied by Shinan, and Wen Da is studying in the field of machinery."

"Speaking of which, the only person who can help Datang right now is Wenda's expertise, but it's far from enough."

"Wenda's expertise relies on various lathes produced by high-precision machinery factories, as well as Dayan's unique steel. Otherwise, all his knowledge will be in vain and will have no use in our Datang."

"However, these majors make us scholars feel more intimate than ever before, as if we have found our own special direction."

"Your Majesty, you...should understand that feeling. Alas...the time is too short."

"And since we are older, we are much slower at studying than those young men. We just hope that we can make achievements in this major before we die, and we will be satisfied."

Kong Yingda said softly.

Li Shimin, Pei Ji and the others trembled slightly at the corners of their eyes when they heard this.

The meaning of this….

They can more or less hear it.

"Chongyuan, having said that, there is no need to belittle yourself. Your knowledge is already comparable to gods to the Tang Dynasty."

"In the entire Datang, you are the only ones who have come into contact with Dayan's advanced education system. I believe that after you return, our Datang will definitely have a very different situation."

"We accompanied His Majesty here this time because we wanted to take a look at the development of Dayan. However, we never expected that the development of Dayan in just one year has greatly exceeded our expectations."

"So... His Majesty feels that we can't wait any longer. We should learn and build at the same time, building it bit by bit. As time goes by, we will naturally be able to catch up."

"I, Datang, still have a good chance."

Fang Xuanling lowered her voice, looked into the eyes of Kong Yingda and the others, and spoke in a low voice and solemnly.

"Yes, Mr. Kong, as we move forward step by step in the Tang Dynasty, there will always be opportunities."

Cheng Yaojin took a breath and spoke in agreement.

"Yes, as long as we work together, I believe all problems can be solved!"

"After all, our Tang Dynasty has outstanding people, is located in the Central Plains, and is rich in resources. It is not difficult to surpass a mere Great Yan!"

"Given time, we will definitely achieve great things! As long as we work together?!"

Fang Xuanling made a fist.

Kong Yingda smiled bitterly.

He picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

This is simple to say.

But he knew in his heart that that was impossible.

The more they studied during this period, the more they felt that Dayan was too terrifying. The more they understood, the more desperate they became.

How to cultivate these first batch of talents?

These teachers in Dayan support Dayan’s education system.

Then there was His Majesty who led everyone from the front and launched various projects in an orderly manner. His Majesty was far-sighted and all the designs were designed one after another. This was something that Datang could never match.

When the time comes, who will be in charge of Datang?

Li Shimin?

Fang Xuanling?

A clan member?

Or them?

With all due respect to them, no one can take on this task.

"Being united...it's easy to be united, but after all, the world is not idealistic, but about seeking truth from facts and being down-to-earth."

"Your Majesty, let alone education and printing books, our Tang Dynasty cannot solve it."

"We now buy all the books of Tang Dynasty from Dayan. To put it bluntly, as long as Dayan cuts off our books, we will be blind and there will be nothing we can do."

"Now, we can't even print our own books. Your Majesty, what else can we do?"

Every word Kong Yingda said was true.

This was also the result of the discussion between the three of them last night.

If they told Li Shimin directly that they would not go back, they would be betraying Li Shimin after all.

But, in fact, this is indeed the case. They know very well that Datang's idea is good, learning from Yan to learn skills to control Yan, but there are some things, the most basic things, that they cannot learn.

Just like printing, there is no academy to teach them.

Some of the knowledge currently taught to them by the academy is based on the current foundation of Dayan. As long as they leave the foundation of Dayan, they will be unable to accomplish anything and it will all be in vain.

The three of them were desperate to learn from Dayan to revive the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not have made the decision to stay in Dayan.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, his fingers gently clasping the rim of the wine glass without saying a word.

Fang Xuanling, Pei Jicheng and Yaojin all looked at each other, but like Li Shimin, they couldn't say a word.

They didn't know what to say at all.

What Kong Yingda said is true.

Today’s books in Datang are still purchased from Dayan.

As long as the Great Flame is broken, the Tang Dynasty will be blind.

Although the shops of all clan members have opened, what are their books for? It does not help Datang to take a new path at all.

As for asking them to print new books.

Carve the carving board first. It may take decades before you can carve it out.

By then, I don’t know how far Dayan’s knowledge has been updated.

Gudong….

Everyone swallowed.

She looked at Kong Yingda quietly and listened to him continue.

Kong Yingda met their gazes, took a breath, and his expression became serious.

"Furthermore, Your Majesty, there is another most important and basic issue that we have been neglecting. We have been focusing on the industrial systems of Dayan and have not paid attention to this issue at all."

"Actually, the most urgent problem we in the Tang Dynasty need to solve now is not to imitate the Great Yan, nor to build an industrial system, but to feed the people and prevent them from having their families destroyed just because of a small disaster."

"The most urgent problem we need to solve in the Tang Dynasty is the problem of food, not... not this..."

"The reason why Dayan's industry is developing so fast is because the people have enough to eat and drink, and they have enough energy to do other things. Otherwise, if they can't even provide the most basic food and clothing, how can we expect to build industrialization? This is impossible, this It’s also incredibly fragile.”

"As long as there is wind and rain, it will collapse."

"Furthermore, Dayan also solved the problem of having enough to eat before taking the next step. It's just that they solved it so easily that we all ignored this, the most important reason."

Kong Yingda's voice was low.
