In Li Er's heart, a strong expectation surged in the moment before Li Sheng spoke.
But the next second, Li Sheng answered in one breath, and Li Er thought.
The moment Li Sheng finished speaking, there was another strong sense of loss.
Although, despite all kinds of reasons, Li Er still hoped in his heart that Li Sheng could come up with something new, preferably something like glass, which could be shipped directly overseas to transport large pieces of gold and silver.
Good things to transport back to China.
However, Li Er was not surprised either.
After all, no matter what kind of industrial chain it is, it is basically like a railway track. This kind of thing is used to connect various things.
Although it may be important, it is just that. Things like this can no longer arouse Li Er's interest.
Although he didn't realize that the technology of this brick-burning factory had significantly reduced the cost of bricks, Li Er was excited all night - not even the full twelve hours of the day, night and day.
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, hey, you naughty kid is awesome, isn't it? You have great magical powers, right?
My father also has his own confidence now!
This confidence is none other than Chengxi Academy in Chang'an, Lingzhou College in Lingzhou, and various state and county colleges.
Now, driven by the tide of sea trade, young scholars in the scientific field are also producing an endless stream of new things.
Of course, the recent Tang Dynasty cannot be said to have been completely easy, because it was fighting wits and courage with the Romans, and mainly now it has officially started immigration to the Americas - it is easy to imagine how fast it is burning money.
At the same time, they originally only supported the American Economic Strategy, so this budget was not bad. After all, Li Er and others were not fools, and they knew how to plan their money.
But recently, some strange changes have gradually appeared in China. There have been more thieves, and there seems to be a problem with the folk customs.
Although it is not obvious, Li Er is the emperor - his real job is to observe whether there are any big problems hidden in these seemingly unimportant things.
Therefore, Li Er ordered his officials to investigate and, without any doubt, discovered the problem.
Although the Tang Dynasty was exploring America.
Although America is certainly worth exploring.
Moreover, the situation of digesting talents and conserving national power - a strategic advantage, although this thing cannot be seen or touched, is also an important part of "national power".
In these aspects, everything works well and the results are good.
But the problem is still emerging now, and it clearly gives people a feeling that it will get worse in the future.
Because of this kind of thing, Li Er actually still felt uneasy in his heart - which is why although the country's situation seemed to be good, Li Er was not so excited that he entertained officials every day to celebrate.
However, even so, Li Er is still very confident.
Now that Datang has grasped the core point of "science", the next steps are of course certain, that is to say, they are all solvable.
But then, Li Sheng said casually, "This industrial chain means that various factories cooperate with each other."
"For example, when a steel plant produces steel, it will then produce slag, and these slag can produce cement, and the cement can build houses and dams, and the dams can eventually produce more food - although it seems that the output
It’s just food, but behind it are countless factories and countless forces.”
Li Sheng said this.
Li Er's expression gradually changed.
There seems to be something contained here, although at the first time, I couldn't grasp the content here.
But I always feel that there is indeed a lot of information here.
"Young Master means," although Li Sheng's titles and titles have been piled up in a basket, Li Er was secretly glad that he still regarded Li Sheng as a young master, and Li Sheng did not express any opinions, which clearly showed that he was in Li Sheng's position.
This kid Sheng is quite talkative here.
But thinking about it this way, Li Er was inexplicably a little annoyed. Why, his majestic king still had to speak in front of a minister.
No, what does "being able to speak" mean? This is too humble.
But thinking about it carefully, Li Er quickly felt relieved. Anyway, this kid will have to be responsible for the empire in the future. When the time comes, it will be his turn to replace his father, Li Yuan, as the Supreme Emperor. Then it will be this kid's turn to have to say it in front of him.
Talked.
With this idea clear, Li Er's attention gradually returned to the "industrial chain" mentioned by Li Sheng.
But this time, Li Er still can't quite understand what this "industrial chain" means. Isn't it natural for factories to cooperate with each other? Then again, even if there is no direct cooperation, various factories
The people will also have various needs for what is produced. This is actually equivalent to another kind of cooperation.
In other words, this "industrial chain" is actually something that will naturally exist no matter what the conditions are. In this case, what kind of problem can this be?
This is obviously not a problem.
If this is the case, then why does Li Sheng care about this matter?
Then again, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the "fountain".
Li Er really doesn't quite understand.
Then Li Sheng said, "This fountain itself really has no merit. Its main function is to create landscaping, which is the same as a rockery."
"But the difference is that the quality of the rockery depends on the quality of the rockery's raw materials, which are often very rare."
Li Sheng shook his head as he spoke. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
"With such a rarity, it is destined to be meaningless to build a rockery."
"It makes no sense, this."
Li Er felt like he was going to be confused by this kid. Aren't rare things good?
It is said that in ancient times, leaders from all walks of life traveled around the world. In order to ensure the smooth development of their own power, they often tried their best to raise money to raise food and wages. Selling pearls and jade was completely normal. Of course, pearls and jade such as natural minerals
Another major use is to reward meritorious troops. Li Er is also familiar with this.
Li Sheng said it was useless, which was probably unfair. Besides, things like glass were Datang's flagship product for making overseas gold and silver. Why couldn't this work again?
Then again, what does this have to do with any industrial chain?
In surprise, Li Sheng said, "There are not many people who can make money by looking for rockery rocks."
