Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji listened quietly to Cen Wenben's words. As for Li Er, this was the last thing he needed to deal with. As long as Li Er was dealt with, he could basically put his mind at ease.

Now, as long as the people move there, Li Er will be exposed. After all, Li Er is old now. Once the idea comes up, he must start implementing it as soon as possible. If he delays until he dies of old age, he will really have no chance.

Now he has withdrawn a lot of the troops close to Li Er's direction, just to give Li Er a chance. Li Yuanji really hopes that Li Er can seize this opportunity quickly.

Li Yuanji then looked at Cen Wenben.

"Send a batch of weapons to Li Er, and tell him that if he needs to increase the size of the army, he can expand his army on his own and give him weapons for an army of 10,000."

Li Yuanji now wanted to give Li Er confidence. He had shown so much trust in him. To put it bluntly, the weapons of these ten thousand soldiers were given to Li Er so that he could distribute them freely. In this way, Li Er would be able to raise an army of his own, which would further arouse Li Er's thoughts in that regard.

Anyway, if Li Er wanted to expand his confidants, he would choose them from the 200,000 people, or select some local natives.

These people were armed by Li Er and they are also his people. As for the local natives, he will kill them without any mercy. Now it depends on Li Er's courage.

In this regard, Li Yuanji really believed in Li Er. He was able to resolutely launch the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny at the beginning, so it is not impossible for him to launch another mutiny now, and the possibility is very high.

In Li Yuanji's eyes, as long as Li Er is still Li Er, he will definitely do this because this is his only chance.

Cen Wenben was stunned when he heard this. He was going to give Li Er weapons and equipment?
But then he thought that ten thousand sets were nothing, and Li Er couldn't cause any trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it later."

After a while, Cen Wenben went down and Li Yuanji began to handle government affairs.

Half a month passed, and on this day, it was the day that Li Chengping was going to conquer his fiefdom and become a vassal. Li Yuanji came out to see Li Chengping off.

"Work hard on your trip, and don't forget to come back and visit when you have time."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengping in front of him. He had no worries about Li Chengping's safety. He was just going to deal with some natives. Not to mention the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, even the Tang army during the Wude period of Li Yuan's reign could sweep them away.

Li Chengping nodded firmly in agreement, and then set off with his army.

For this expedition, all the necessary supplies have been transported to the port and will follow the army. The army will fight in the front, and the supplies will follow behind.

In addition to the army and supplies, there were also 50,000 civilians who followed Li Chengping. These were the people who followed Li Chengping in advance, and the rest would be gradually migrated later.

One month after Li Chengping left, Li Yuanji came to the research institute. This time it was because the research institute had successfully developed a small car.

"Your Majesty, we have finally developed this sedan, which can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, which is the fastest speed.

As oil refining progressed, it could be better adapted to the engine, so we reconfigured the engine to make it more compatible with the car."

Li Yuanji looked at the car in front of him and listened to Liu Mingsheng's words, and Li Yuanji also smiled.

It's not that he necessarily wants this small car, but today's cars are relatively large in size, with little space inside, and although they are fast, they are not fast.

Now people are starting to have money. Although many people still cannot afford it, some people can still buy it. Nowadays, these are used for military or civilian use.

"Well done. I heard that Yang's is also working on this sedan. Haven't they finished it yet?"

Yang was the first to get involved in the automobile industry. He invested a lot of money and tried every possible way to recruit some talents, but there has not been any major breakthrough.

To put it bluntly, the research institute did this project just as a side job and it was not a core project, but it was done anyway.

Liu Mingsheng also laughed when he heard this.

“Your Majesty, the difficulty in making a car lies in the construction of the engine and the overall structure. Now we have designed this car, and Yang also provided some ideas before.

I was just about to talk to Your Majesty about this matter. The manufacturing of cars is not what the research institute will do in the future. I am planning to give this car technology to the Yang family and let them produce cars to meet the needs of the people. This is also a little compensation for the previous efforts of the Yang family.

This is just an idea of ​​mine, and the specific decision will be made by Your Majesty."

"Haha, Mingsheng, you are giving me a hard time. They helped the research institute, and now you have an idea, but you are pushing it to me.

Well, we can give them the technology, tell them that the manufacturing of cars is a long and arduous task, and let them do it well. "

Li Yuanji joked with Liu Mingsheng that even if this technology was given to Yang's now, it would only give Yang a temporary lead. When Yang's made the car, more people would join in. After all, many people would be willing to join a business that could make money.

Yang's company cannot take up such a huge profit, and it will definitely need to share some of it out. He is not worried at all that Yang's company will become too big and monopolize the industry.

Moreover, the core technology is in the research institute, which means it is in his hands. If Yang really wants to take on so much by himself, he can just arrange some competitors for Yang later.

Li Yuanji does not allow one company to dominate any industry. If one company dominates the market, problems will easily arise. There must be alternatives, which means that consumers must have more choices. Only then can a competition and cycle be formed.

Then Li Yuanji stopped talking about other things and entered the car, starting to look around. Many things inside were familiar to Li Yuanji, including the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, clutch, and even the radio.

After asking the people from the research institute to familiarize him with the vehicle, Li Yuanji couldn't wait to get started and drove out directly.

Yang Jianhe and others followed. Someone had already cleared the road. Li Yuanji drove the car all the way out of the city.

Li Yuanji felt that the bumps were very obvious while driving. The shock absorption was not very good. The roads in Chang'an were very smooth, but he could still feel some of them. This was a big problem.

Then there was the oil, which was used up very quickly. Li Yuanji took a look and thought that he was afraid that he would need to refuel after driving for a hundred kilometers or so.

But overall, Li Yuanji still felt very good.

After driving for more than an hour, Li Yuanji slowly drove into the city and returned to the research institute. After getting off the car, Li Yuanji immediately looked at Liu Mingsheng.

“That’s right, but this car still has a lot of room for improvement. You can find out and do it yourself.

Okay, I'll go back first. This car should be made as soon as possible so that the people can use it.

In addition, you need to train a group of people who know how to operate this car. They will be very useful in the future, so you need to hurry up."

After giving some instructions, Li Yuanji returned to the palace and immediately called Cen Wenben.

"See Your Majesty."

"Mian, Jingren, I want to ask you to come here for an urgent matter."

Cen Wenben was immediately interested after hearing this. An important matter? Something that Li Yuanji felt was important must not be a trivial matter. He then prepared to listen carefully.

Li Yuanji looked at Cen Wenben's expression and also smiled.

“Although this matter is urgent, it is not as serious as you think.

I just came back from the Research Institute. The institute has made breakthroughs in oil refining technology, and there have also been advances in automobile engine technology. In the future, the number of cars and trucks will inevitably increase.

So I decided to set up a new department, called the Ministry of Transportation. As the name suggests, it is responsible for managing transportation.

This transportation refers to land transportation. With the development of automobiles, there will definitely be more and more people using cars, this is beyond doubt.

We must take this issue seriously now and not wait until problems arise later to solve it.

With the increase in the number of cars on the road, it will inevitably have a great impact on people walking on the road, and if the roads are not changed, the wide roads will only become congested.

Therefore, car driving rules must be formulated. At the same time, one must learn how to drive a car before he or she can drive. That means passing the test and obtaining a driving license issued by the Ministry of Transport before you can drive.

Moreover, if an accident occurs while driving a car, such as hitting someone or a collision between cars, rules must be established. Whoever is at fault must compensate the other person for his or her losses.

The compensation for this loss must also be clearly stipulated, which means that a traffic law must be formulated. This traffic law only applies to traffic and is also part of the Tang Dynasty law.

At the same time, if there are some people who make mistakes but the mistakes are not serious, such as not driving according to the rules, but they do not cause any harm, they can be punished to a certain extent, and the driving license they obtain must also be based on a points system.

For example, if you have twelve points when you get your driver's license, but your license is cleared due to a traffic violation and no points are left, you will not be able to continue driving. If you continue to drive, you will be severely punished, with a maximum sentence of several years in prison and your car will be confiscated.

Once all the points on a driver's license are deducted, the person will not be allowed to take a driver's license test again within three years.

In other words, the driver's license issued by the Ministry of Transport is very important. Without this license, you must have points on the license before you can drive.

This is what I have compiled. You should take it and study it carefully. After studying it, start to implement it immediately. The Ministry of Transportation should be established immediately. All cities in the future should implement it in place. Transportation is not a trivial matter. "

These were what Li Yuanji thought about when he came back from the research institute. He was well aware of the importance of transportation, and he was even more aware that once the number of cars used by the public increased, these problems would gradually emerge.

As the number of cars increases in the future, these problems will inevitably increase. What's more important is that it will take several years or even longer for these problems to break out on a large scale. If he doesn't solve these problems now, what will he do when he is no longer in Datang?
Although the imperial court would solve problems as they arose, people of this era would definitely have deviations in their legislation on transportation, and he must now set the basic tone.

For example, when it comes to road construction, there must be roads for motor vehicles to travel on, and there must be a way to separate people and vehicles. These are just some of the examples, and there are many more, too many to mention. I'm afraid Li Yuanji can't list them all.

Although it is a little early to do these things now, we must prepare them as soon as possible so that we can calmly deal with the problems that will be faced in future development.

What's more important is that the establishment of the Ministry of Transport, as well as other corresponding driving school training, license plates, information registration, and the necessary personnel, all of these take time to arrange, because the Ministry of Transport's subordinate departments must be set up in every place, that is, in every city.

It would take several years to set up such a large organization, not to mention the other details that need to be improved in the meantime. What he can do now is to set the basic tone. As for whether a transportation bureau should be set up throughout the Tang Dynasty, that would depend on the actual situation.

Anyway, large cities, that is, big cities with relatively dense populations, will basically set up a city, but the time of establishment and the way of promotion will depend on the actual sales of cars. If the cars are not sold, no matter how dense the population is, it will not be possible to set up a city in a short time.

The establishment of such a large department also means financial pressure, because salaries have to be paid, and the ranks of officials also have to be determined, which means there is a lot of work to do.

Now that he has said all this and asked Cen Wenben and others to prepare, it will take at least a few years to implement these foundations.

Now he just needs to set the basic tone and then modify it according to the actual situation. Then he can rest assured and copy the answers. He doesn't believe that the officials of the Tang Dynasty will not know how to do it.

What was shown to Cen Wenben now were all what he exchanged from the system. If he were really asked to write it, it would probably take him several months to finish it, and there would be many omissions. How could he remember it so comprehensively?

This time, Li Yuanji exchanged five thick books, each book costing one thousand contribution points. He didn't have many contribution points to begin with, and exchanging these almost exhausted all his contribution points.

When Cen Wenben took these heavy books, his eyelids twitched.

He himself had not fully understood what Li Yuanji said. Now there were so many books, and since he did not understand them, he definitely needed to read them carefully. Not only did he need to read them, but he also needed to understand the meaning of what was written in them. Thinking about this, Cen Wenben felt a headache.

Fortunately, Li Yuanji told him that it was not what he thought, but the reality turned out to be even more difficult than he thought.

What with the establishment of the Ministry of Transport, driver's licenses, points, roads, and even criminal penalties? Cen Wenben was really overwhelmed. He really didn't understand how all these were connected together.

Moreover, Li Yuanji said a lot, but he really couldn't understand a single word and it gave him a headache just listening to him.

Cen Wenben took the book and tried to open it to read. Wow, it was full of densely packed words, which made Cen Wenben's eyelids jump.

At this moment, Cen Wenben suddenly didn't want to do this anymore. It was too complicated and involved. (End of this chapter)
