But slowly, as the scientific research institute produced more and more things, he sometimes found that it was a bit difficult for him to just look at the conclusions, because there were too many things involved.

In particular, there were several times in the middle when he felt that a certain research project of the scientific research institute seemed useless, but he was a big spender. Although Zhang Nuo was responsible for all the expenses of the Lantian City Scientific Research Institute, as Zhang Nuo's sworn brother, When the righteous brother is not around, naturally he has to help take care of it.

From Li Shimin's point of view, this group of people is because Zhang Nuo was sent to Korea by him, and then they play all kinds of tricks, otherwise they wouldn't come up with such a project that spends money and looks like it's useless. of.

But just when he was going to kill those researchers who cheated money, he didn't know what happened, so he stopped by the telegraph room and told Zhang Nuo about it.

Li Shimin was quite proud when he said it at the time, thinking that no matter what he did, he was helping his little brother save money, and even dug out the moths in the research institute.

But who knows, Zhang Nuo happened to have something to send him a telegram that day, so after receiving Li Shimin's telegram, he didn't use Xingben to transfer it. The input speed sprayed Li Shimin from beginning to end.

Of course, I also gave him a science popularization by the way, telling him the meaning of the basic physics research project, which is the cornerstone that can really improve the scientific research level of the whole country, and it is the most important thing that must not be given up.

Li Shimin was almost autistic on the spot by Zhang Nuo's sci-fi and spouting, but after this battle, he also understood that Zhang Nuo really can only do it for the scientific research institute, and it is estimated that other people can't do it Understand what is studied in it, let alone get involved or manage it.

At the same time, Li Shimin also understood what Zhang Nuo said about technical officials a long time ago, because with the further development of science and technology, if there are still only those traditional officials who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics in the court, there will probably be some There are many officials like him now, let alone handling official duties, who can't even read official documents.

This is also what Zhang Nuo is most worried about, that is, the level of management personnel in an empire cannot keep up with the progress of science and technology.

You don’t need to be proficient, but at least your knowledge reserves must be able to understand, you must be able to understand the function of this thing, if you don’t even understand this, how do you plan to use it?How to develop?

These were Zhang Nuo's worries, and at the same time, Zhang Nuo told Li Shimin his worries directly without any concealment, but Li Shimin directly let Zhang Nuo relax after listening.

Because Li Shimin is very clear that although Datang's scientific and technological research has begun to accelerate development, and many jobs that did not exist before have also popped up, in fact people's ideas have not changed, and being an official is still in the eyes of many people. best pursuit.

As long as this concept does not change, he is absolutely not worried about not being able to recruit suitable technical officials.

Therefore, he turned his head to worry about whether the school created by Zhang Nuo could cultivate suitable talents.

In other words, whether the school established by Zhang Nuo can provide Datang with various high-quality talents in a stable, sustainable and efficient manner.

Zhang Nuo thought about this and found that he couldn't guarantee it.

The knowledge system has been given away, and he has also given away various teaching materials and experimental equipment. The school is even more beautifully built, which is definitely infinitely better than all kinds of schools now.

However, whether the teachers can master the knowledge through self-study, and the effect of imparting the knowledge to the students, these are not guaranteed by Zhang Nuo.

I hope there will be a good result.

It is precisely because he really knows the power of the scientific research institute in various fields that Li Shimin is very interested in Pyongyang City, a research institute with roots that has been split and relocated from Lantian City at this time.

He really wanted to know what the research institute, which had produced steam engines and trains under Zhang Nuo's personal guidance, would look like now.

Li Shimin felt that he had already been surprised enough at the armory factory today, so it must be the same over there, and he could fly people into the sky.

Li Shimin felt that his performance in the ordnance factory today was a bit unworthy of his title of emperor, so he decided to keep calm after arriving at the scientific research institute. Even if he saw something incredible, he had to calm down. Damage to the majesty of the emperor ah.

Turning around, he came out of the ordnance factory and walked down the road to the place where the scientific research institute is located. The guards here are obviously tighter, which is repeatedly emphasized by Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo.

After all, even if one of the many technologies in it is taken out, it can be sent to other countries to improve their national strength in a short period of time. How can it be done without good defense? Only fools do this kind of thing that breeds the enemy.

Li Shimin, who had already been hired once, was obviously more strict in the face of the scientific research institute at this time, but he was still able to face the review, inspection, and registration process of the ordnance factory with a smile, and praised the gatekeeper calmly. A few words from the sergeant.

It was not at all obvious that not long ago he thought it was a matter of losing his temper at the gate of the ordnance factory.

As an institution, the Academy of Sciences is actually just a general term, which has already been divided into several departments by Zhang Nuo. Different departments work in different areas because of different research projects.

At the same time, because many of the research projects here are actually dangerous, the regions are relatively separated from each other, and only those research projects that are completely harmless can get closer.

This caused the area of ​​the entire research institute to be extremely large. If you wandered around without focusing on it, I'm afraid you would have to spend a whole day here today.

So Xingben, who had followed Zhang Nuo countless times before, consciously acted as a tour guide and asked directly,

"Your Majesty, what project do you want to start with?"

Chapter 614 Strange Research Project

Li Shimin took a piece of paper handed over by Xingben, and suddenly felt his head was getting bigger.

Because many research projects seem a bit unreliable in his opinion, for example, why is there a food research institute here?

Does this even require research on eating, or does Zhang Nuo have so much money that he has no place to spend it, and needs someone to help him figure out how to cook delicious food?

Empress Changsun also saw this at a glance, and she was more interested in these things, so she asked directly,

"Xingben, what is this food research institute for? Why has Bengong never heard of His Royal Highness King Qin's mention? Then his culinary skills are the best in the Tang Dynasty. Does he still need someone to help him study how to cook?"

Xingben smiled wryly and shook his head,

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. The food research institute does not study cooking, but further develops various types of food. His Highness gave them some guidance, and then asked them to see if they can research more. Find ways to preserve food for longer, and make it tastier or more productive!"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were immediately awed. This is really unexpected. Since the schools of thought gradually disappeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, no one has specialized in this for nearly a thousand years.

But obviously this is very important to a country and even the national economy and people's livelihood, but no one thought of it. Fortunately, Zhang Nuo has arranged for it now, otherwise, I don't know when the country will notice these things.

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing in his heart, my virtuous brother is indeed a great sage who doesn't talk about it but cares about the country and the people in his heart. Don't look like a salted fish every day, thinking about how to be lazy and not work, It seems that I don't want to care about anything and don't want to touch anything!

But it's just Zhang Nuo who did a lot of things that no one else thought of. He is not a great sage who cares about the country and the people, who is qualified to be?

You must know that the projects in these research institutes are all funded by Zhang Nuo, that is to say, the entire research institute is supported by Zhang Nuo, but he uses them to research these, which are of great benefit to the country, but not to himself. What is this project that is not concerned about the country and the people?

This is not Li Shimin's bragging, but that Zhang Nuo has never had much land under his name, and he does not rely on farming to earn that little hard money.

The land outside his Lantian City is basically used for farming various new crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. More importantly, there are many opportunities to increase the fertile land under his name. But he didn't touch it, as if he didn't care at all.

This is completely different from those big families. In the eyes of those big families, even if workshops and businesses can earn unimaginable money, land is the most real after all. Therefore, almost all big families, especially those who followed Zhang Nuo made a fortune here in Pyongyang, and almost all of them used part of the money to buy land.

But even so, in the end it was Zhang Nuo, who had never paid much attention to the land, and spent his own money to study how to preserve food better and how to increase food production. This has to be said to be a very ironic thing.
