Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 680 New Country Direction
It is February in the lunar calendar, which is almost March and April in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the temperature in the southern coast has reached the point where you only need to wear a piece of clothing. After the summer clothes of Peony and Furong are unlocked, Sun Xiangfu, who has recently eaten more high-protein seafood, eats more every day. The amount of exercise is getting bigger and bigger. During the sailing days, he is accompanied by two orchid concubines who use various difficult postures to satisfy his bedtime pleasure. The life is very blissful.

Li Shimin is less happy. After the new palace started to be used, various things were handled more efficiently, and the courtiers went to court more comfortably, and their satisfaction was so good. However, this high efficiency and concentration led him to need There are more and more things to be dealt with, and various new problems can be said to emerge in endlessly.

Changsun Wuji said that the education in Shannan Province needs to be reformed. Immediately afterwards, he reported that Jiangling City will build a large university. After that, what music college, architecture college, agricultural college, medical college, engineering college, business college He wants to start a horse in Jiangling for this courtyard and that courtyard, and a new plan will be reported every two days.

At this time, he received a request from Yang Shunshui, the chief engineer of Weinan Shipyard, to build a maritime academy. Xiangfu's proposal was reported verbatim.

All these things made Li Shimin suddenly realize that the education system of Datang could not keep up with the development of Datang. All industries seemed to have entered a bottleneck period. If education was not expanded, then these industries would not Difficult to get greater development.

So, he brought Li Chengqian over.

I don't know when, the dialogue relationship between their father and son has changed from Li Shimin's education, guidance, and evaluation of Li Chengqian to an equal dialogue, and even Li Shimin's inquiry and advice about Li Chengqian.

"Father, these things don't require the court to spend money, even if the court needs to spend money, we must try our best to do it!" After hearing Li Shimin's confusion, Li Chengqian spread his hands.

Li Shimin knew that he would have such an attitude, because the person who promoted these things was Sun Xiangfu, and Li Chengqian and Sun Xiangfu's ideas are in the same line.

So, he said emphatically, "Of course I know the truth, but have you ever thought about when this development will end? What if one day we can no longer control the world?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was stunned, and after a long time, he seemed to muster up his courage, and said, "Why does the father always want to control the world?
In one of my teacher's lectures, I mentioned that desire for power, desire for control, and possessiveness are actually low-level human emotions. People can reasonably satisfy some of these desires, but they must not be swayed by such desires.

The world is so big, with billions of creatures, it is impossible for one person to control all of it. In this world, you can adapt to it and enjoy it more. If it is because you feel empty at the top , Boring, in fact, there are many interesting things in this world, which can be regarded as your goals, and their difficulty is even higher than the great cause of unifying the world. "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, it was Li Shimin's turn to be stunned. He didn't know how to answer, but after a while, he looked at Li Chengqian with a questioning look, motioning him to continue.

In fact, at this moment, Li Shimin felt a little bit regretful about giving Li Chengqian to Sun Xiangfu for training. He felt that Li Chengqian was a bit out of line. As the prince of the strongest empire in the world, what he was thinking in his heart was not how to control the world , which is very sad.

Li Chengqian knew that what he said just now was a bit exaggerated, maybe because he was more irritable by the government affairs in the past two years, and he was not satisfied with the current state, so he jumped inadvertently.

After rationalizing his arguments in his mind, he pointed to the huge transparent glass window of the Imperial Study Room and said, "Not to mention far away, just a few years ago, you thought that you could stand in front of such a huge transparent glass window and look down on the whole city. Is it Chang'an City?"

He pointed to the popular attractions in Chang'an City, those hot air balloons flying in the sky, and said, "Have you ever thought that you can fly in the sky in a hot air balloon?
Have you ever thought about those new weapons that can blow up the solid Chang'an city gate with just one jar?
······"

In the current Datang, there are many such examples. Even if Li Chengqian cites another hour, it may not be exhaustive. After talking about some more important types, Li Chengqian said again, "Before these things appeared, you were the emperor of the Tang Dynasty." After the appearance of these things, you are still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It just adds more color and fun to your daily life, and strengthens the strength of our Tang Dynasty. The root of Tang."

There is no need for Li Chengqian to tell Li Shimin what the root of the Tang Dynasty is. It boils down to two words, people's hearts.

People's hearts are in Li. No matter how much the world develops, Li Tang is still there. From another perspective, Li Tang only needs to keep doing things that conform to people's hearts, and no one will oppose it. Other worries are superfluous. .

I can see the fundamental problem, which is the difference between Li Chengqian and Li Tai. After listening to these words, Li Shimin's mood suddenly became much smoother, but he also has the dignity of a father, and he looked at Li Chengqian kindly and said, "Do you think that is the case?" Doesn't the father know such a simple truth? The father is just examining you. These petitions will be officially approved by the Zhengshitang. In addition, I have some other things to do when I come to you this time. "

Seeing Li Shimin's kindly smiling face, Li Chengqian felt relieved, followed his words, and asked, "Father, please tell me."

"Xiao Xiang has been away for more than a month, and the position of Shangshu Zuopushe cannot remain vacant. I want Fang Qing to take over this position again, and you need to take over Fang Qing's previous position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. This year's sports meeting, only It will be held in a few months, and it is estimated that participating teams from many countries have already arrived in Anxi Dadu Protectorate, how to receive these foreign guests, you still need to lead the Ministry of Rites to draw up a regulation."

"Let the minister take over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites? You mean, this year's sports meeting, there is no need for the minister to stay in Chang'an to supervise the country?" Li Chengqian was a little stunned.

Li Shimin seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said with a smile, "No need, because your uncle built Jiangling City as a city, and there are large enough palaces and government affairs halls there for the various ministries of the court to work. During the next sports meeting held in Jiangling, Zhenhui ordered that all official affairs of the court be transferred to Jiangling to see if it can take care of the operation needs of the entire country like Chang'an."

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Shimin's arrangement, Li Chengqian couldn't help showing his joy on his face, patted his chest and said, "Father, please rest assured, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites will not trouble my son."

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian should actually leave. However, Li Shimin seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "You said just now that there are many things in this world that are even harder than unifying the world. What do you mean?"

"This, of course there are many, you can think about it yourself! Flying to the sky and escaping from the ground, sending voices across thousands of miles..."

"You bastard, you've watched too many monster dramas!" Before Li Chengqian could continue, Li Shimin interrupted him. However, without saying anything, Li Chengqian pointed to the hot air balloons flying around in the sky Li Shimin was stunned again.

Although those hot air balloons rely on ropes to ensure their safety, when did he think a few years ago that people could fly to the sky through such things?
And maybe, after the technology of making it improves again, there is no need to use ropes to pull it to fly!
At that time, who dared to say that Datang had not mastered the flying technology?
In fact, when the navy uses hot air balloons, they never need multiple hot air balloon fixing points, and they are pulled by ropes. After the battle, they will anchor to the ground in a gondola like sailing a ship. The reason why Changan arranged He was so careful because he was afraid of safety accidents. In a sense, Datang has now mastered the technology of this kind of hot air balloon flying.

"Can we people really do that?"

Li Shimin murmured thoughtfully, and Li Chengqian thought he was asking himself a question, so he threw out Sun Xiangfu's original words and said, "As long as we dare to think, there is nothing wrong with it, but really It will be very difficult to do these things. We need to master more knowledge and do a lot of research and experiments. During the Shangyuan Festival, the students from Jiuyuan County School came to the palace to show what those students researched. Yes, there may be more surprises in the future.”

Thinking of those textbooks, thinking of those students' demonstrations, Li Shimin was a little dazed. After a long time, he waved to Li Chengqian, motioning him to go down, and he began to enter a state of thinking.

These new technologies have gradually become Datang's trump card. At present, it seems that as long as these cards are played well and the world is unified, it is really not a very difficult task. From the moment the gunpowder explodes, Li Shimin will You already have such an idea, and if someone masters this kind of thing before you, then no matter how much you do, it will be nonsense, and they will kill you with a few blows.

Therefore, after Li Shimin thought about all these issues together, he seemed to have found a new direction for the country, that is, to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, Datang must master the most advanced science and technology, and control these cutting-edge science and technology. the future world.

Sun Xiangfu, who went ashore at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, did not know that Li Shimin was experiencing a great enlightenment, and understood the truth that "technology is the primary productive force". When he saw the ridiculously large wharf in Guangzhou, even Sun Xiangfu felt very Unexpectedly, he first confirmed the mistake of one of Li Tai's previous views, that is, in Lingnan, the Feng family must be the richest.

Sun Xiangfu will not talk about how much money is needed to build this wharf where thousands of large ships are docked. After seeing the infrastructure from the wharf all the way to Guangzhou City, Sun Xiangfu will You know, Feng An is afraid that most of his belongings will be spent on construction.

At the entrance of the pier, after greeting each other, Feng An, Feng Zhichen and his son invited Sun Xiangfu and Li Tai to board a spacious guest carriage, and the rest of their entourage would naturally have a long row behind them. Car reception.

In the car, Li Tai tactfully sat beside Feng An as a junior, and took over Feng Zhiyan's job of pouring tea and water. Poured a glass for Sun Xiangfu. In the end, even Feng Zhizun didn't miss much, but Sun Xiangfu nodded again and again. This guy has entered the role, and he has achieved the extreme respect he should have.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei can't do it. Just teach children how to pour tea and water." Feng An has never met Li Tai, because when he went to Dingxiang to participate in the sports meeting last time, Li Tai was left behind. I planted rice in Jiuyuan County, judging from my first feeling today, this Li Tai doesn't look like a high-ranking prince, because although he is very fat, he is very slick in pouring tea, The respect in the eyes is also from the heart.

There is no way, this is how he served Sun Xiangfu all the way here, and Sun Xiangfu is still instilling in him how positive what Feng An did is to Southern Xinjiang, to Datang, and even to future generations. Influence.

Hearing what Feng An said, Li Tai acted resolutely, and stopped Feng Zhi, who was about to take over, and said, "It's so, it's so great, the little king has no merits in the country, and he is suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his father. I feel really disturbed." Seriously, how should the Lingnan Road be managed? I would like to ask Mr. Feng to teach Xiao Wang a lot. You don’t have to hurry to go to Chang’an to take up the post. The military academy over there will take a year and a half to be built! Wait until the sports meeting When the opening period comes, Xiao Wang will go to Jiangling City with you to attend the meeting."

Hearing Li Tai's words, not to mention Feng An, even Feng Zhichen looked at him with softer eyes. It seems that this young man who has just turned 16 is no longer a rough kid. Teachability.
