God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 739 Establishment of the Ministry of Science and Technology

"Gao Ming, what are you thinking about?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It's nothing, just thinking about whether these guns can be made more."

Li Chengqian said quickly.

But Yuwen Shiji said: "Your Majesty, these guns have only a handful of functions. They can't break through the city, and they are very inconvenient to use. It's better to destroy them."

Speaking of which, it seems to be the case.

Guns are not siege weapons, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot break through the city.

But this was exactly as Li Chengqian wanted.

"Yuwen Shiji, speaking of this, I would like to thank you for your suggestion. Because the size of guns is limited, I want to make bigger guns, which are cannons, which can break into cities! No matter what city wall It can be broken!"

What is a cannon?Why can break the city?What it looks like, no one knows.

"What is a cannon?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian explained: "The principle of the cannon is similar to this gun. It can be said that the enlarged cannon of the gun has more powerful destructive power!"

If you explain it that way, it's easy to understand.

Why, because this is an enlarged version of the gun.

"His Royal Highness, according to what you said, your cannon can also break through our new type of city wall? What is it called reinforced concrete? I heard you said before that reinforced concrete is very rigid."

Yuwen Shiji can be regarded as someone who has done his homework, and knows how to use this method to make Li Chengqian speechless.

"Yuwen Shiji, science and technology are advancing, and the military is growing stronger. Before the cannon appeared, reinforced concrete could not be broken, but when the cannon appeared, the result was different. I know what you are going to say next, yes Didn’t you want to say whether cannons are meaningful? You don’t create man-made things. As long as we are ahead of others, the world will belong to me. Before the enemy wakes up, let the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty expand. Wouldn’t it be good for all the people?”

Yuwen Shiji was speechless, he couldn't say anything about Li Chengqian.

No one knew what Li Chengqian was thinking. Hearing what he said, it was still very powerful.

"Gao Ming is right, I agree, I will let you handle the matter of the cannon!"

For Li Chengqian, Li Shimin believed blindly now, he believed that Li Chengqian would be able to do it.

Although Yuwen Shiji is upset, what can he do?This has become a fact and cannot be changed.

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do!"

"Oh?"

"My son requests the establishment of a science and technology department!"

Next, if we want to develop technology, we need a department to do it, and Li Chengqian can't do it directly. After all, once Li Shimin finds out, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this is a big deal.

So he wants to ask Li Shimin for instructions, and there are also candidates who can manage it.

"Tech department? What's that for?"

The new word science and technology is too new for Li Shimin and everyone else.

Li Chengqian tried his best to use the simplest way to say: "Actually, it is a department of invention and creation, but it is different from the military, but it is a department that supports military intelligence!"

Yuwen Shiji said: "What's the point? Invention is a small thing."

Li Chengqian retorted:

"Anything that can strengthen the country and benefit the people can't be said to be small trouble!"

He was preparing for the steam engine, so it was justifiable.

"You can come here, I have no objection!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! I respect your Majesty's opinion! Just in case there is a misunderstanding at that time, it's not good."

"Gao Ming, I know it's your painstaking efforts! From now on, you can just do these things."

From what happened this time, Li Shimin also knew that Li Chengqian was good. He believed that Li Chengqian would definitely be able to make Tang Dynasty stronger, and that was what he hoped for.

"With His Majesty's words, I will definitely do well."

Yuwen Shiji asked again: "Will His Royal Highness be able to choose someone? Regarding the Ministry of Science and Technology, if there is no one, someone can be responsible! They are very capable in terms of responsibility, and they must be able to build the Ministry of Science and Technology into a powerful existence."

Yuwenshi and see the stitches.

Li Chengqian would not let him participate in it. How could he be allowed to intervene in such a big event?It is better for the Ministry of Science and Technology to master it by itself.

So he said: "This king has already been selected, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I don't know who it is? Ask the minister to help you as well?"

Yuwen Shi and unyielding questioning.

He tried to intervene in this candidate, as long as he could persuade Li Shimin.

"Yes, Gao Ming, I am also curious about who your candidate is."

Looking at the situation, it is impossible not to mention the individual.

Li Chengqian suddenly thought that maybe he could promote his younger brothers, why?
Because those younger brothers have become superstitious towards him, they will believe what he does.

So he said: "Your Majesty, I think that I can manage this science and technology department as Li Ke and Li Tai."

The two brothers have been living in the East Palace recently, and Li Chengqian can also get it remotely. He let Li Ke and Li Tai participate together. Concubine Yang will be very grateful, especially Empress Changsun, because the two are their children, and Li Shimin They will definitely agree, because they are princes!So kill three birds with one stone.

"Ke'er will be ten years old after the new year, and Tai'er will be nine years old. They have learned a lot with Gao Ming in the East Palace for more than a year. It would be a good choice to help Gao Ming share the burden."

Queen Changsun said.

The two are about the same age as Li Chengqian, but they are much different in ability. Compared with him, the credit is also very different.

Li Chengqian intends to promote the two of them, and they are also toward him.

Li Shimin probably wanted to see this very much.

But Yuwen Shiji said: "But they have no experience! I'm afraid..."

"Scholar Yuwen and you are questioning whether this king has taught you well? Who has experience in doing things for the first time? If you don't do it, where does the experience come from? The two of them are very smart like His Majesty, and they will definitely be able to do it! After all, they are also princes, so we should give them a chance to exercise, right?"

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Li Shimin's face brightened.

The two princes belonged to Li Chengqian, how could Yuwen Shiji dare to say no?
His denial is to reject Li Shimin's talent, which is a slap in the face of the emperor.

He couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Li Chengqian.

"Okay! Let the two of you be in charge. You have to pay attention to this point!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be fine with my son here!"

"I believe in you!"

"Then if there is nothing wrong, Erchen will go back to the East Palace first!"

Li Chengqian said so, he already had some urgency to go back and prepare.

"Everyone has worked hard today, let's all go down!"

So, everyone went down, and Li Chengqian went to the East Palace, and called Li Kai to the East Palace.
