This problem is not another problem. In fact, I am afraid it will become a common problem in the future——
If Datang's industry continues to develop like this, I think it will become stronger and stronger in the future.
Under this trend, there will be an endless stream of new industries and new things in Datang in the future - and these things will inevitably eliminate all the old ones one after another.
By then, there will definitely be a lot of emotions like this, and as the emperor, he will have to face them.
...Thinking of this, Li Er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The logic of this matter is explained clearly, and once the logic is clear, it will be clear what to do.
There is only one way, which is to directly demonstrate the efficacy of new things and convince the old people!
As for the possibility of failure...
Even if it is possible to fail, it is obvious that he can only try hard!
The Tang Dynasty... is, after all, the Tang Dynasty in China, not China belonging to the Tang Dynasty.
This land has been like this since ancient times. There is never enough food to eat, and there is always not enough clothes to wear. If we don't make every effort to gain new vitality, we will often end soon.
Li Er took a deep breath and said to the small school in front of him, "Let's start!"
As soon as the words fell.
Then, four strong horses pulled the ropes and slowly dragged the steam car out of the thatched shed...
Soon, the legendary steam locomotive revealed its true appearance.
When Li Er, Li Xiaogong, Zhang Liang, Zhang Shigui, Li Ji and others took a look, they couldn't help but hold their breath and observe carefully.
This thing... just looks at it, it's really intimidating, because it's obviously larger than tigers and leopards, and it's made entirely of steel, so it looks full of power.
At the very front of the car is a seat, just like the driver's seat in a carriage. In front of the driver, there is a steering wheel that is somewhat similar to the rudder of a sea ship. It is presumably used to control the direction. As for retreating, how to move forward, how to
Stop, Li Er can't see it, but overall it's still very powerful.
but……
After a while, as the four big horses dragged the steam car further and further out, they gradually arrived at the designated location on the school field. Li Er couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at it.
Because although this thing is made of steel, you can tell at a glance that it is just as Li Sheng said - this thing is a military item, truly invulnerable.
But... this looks too shabby. There is just an iron frame connected to four wheels, which is the basic frame. A professor from the college sits in front of him, who is considered the coachman, and the back seat is supposed to be where the carriage should be.
A steam engine the size of a water tank was emitting white smoke and was about to start.
Overall...it's really majestic if you don't look closely, but if you look closely, it looks a bit shabby.
And then... as if echoing Li Er's dissatisfaction, all the generals on the side also showed doubts.
It seems to be saying...a steam car that can replace war horses...that's it?
Just this, this, this?
Although he knew that these old guys didn't mean that and were unintentional, this made Li Er feel uncomfortable.
After all, it is still the same sentence, the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of China, not China is the China of the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Dynasty stops entering, it will be abandoned by China sooner or later. Chariots were not unpopular in China back then -
-The symbol of a powerful country during the Warring States Period was the "Land of Ten Thousand Chariots", known as the "Land of Ten Thousand Chariots".
And what happened later? It was the cavalry that determined the world... Regardless of Wu Qi's cavalry, the Qin State was already very powerful at that time, but its chariot troops were still pressed to the ground and rubbed by Wu Qi's cavalry. Later, ordinary cavalry
Gradually they were replaced by heavily armored cavalry, and the original mainstream bows and arrows and scimitars were replaced by the blunt weapons that are now standard equipment for the fierce generals of the Tang Dynasty.
And now...
If this steam car really pulls off, then in the future it will be quite difficult for me to decide whether to promote this thing into the army, or even to remove the cavalry establishment and sell these war horses...
It's not that I can't do it. I still have some authority and confidence in myself, but being able to do something and being able to do it smoothly are two different things after all. The key...
The horses themselves are nothing, but the generals who conquer the world with their riding skills are equivalent to those who exist around the war horses, and are "vested interests" in a sense. Of course, these generals are loyal, and everyone has experienced martial arts together.
In the ninth year of Germany, it doesn't mean that I suspect that they are unhappy and rebelling.
But something like this will happen in the future. Military generals who have built their careers around horses and equestrianism can accept changes, but what about similar people and horses in other fields?... For example, when Li Sheng came up with charcoal, those five surnames and seven
The ink pen industry that Wang once controlled has been severely impacted.
Li Er didn't care at all about how the Five Surnames and Qiwang group felt or what their mood was. But... after all, this group of thugs also controlled the ink pen industry, and there were countless craftsmen among them who made that thing for a living.
If this new thing is not powerful and cheap enough to convince these old craftsmen or similar people, trouble will inevitably occur.
Therefore, while thinking like this, Li Er felt more and more melancholy, and his eyes became deeper and deeper... And having too deep eyes is not a good thing for people.
On the other hand, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and others on the side are different!
After watching it for a while, I found that this so-called steam car... Although everyone knew that it was done by His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, and did not look down upon it - but after all, there was some vague dissatisfaction in my heart. That was because of the great knights of China.
Pride - the side effect produced is the conservative tendency unique to older uncles.
However... this tendency is very strong. After all, everyone's achievements were achieved on horseback. The peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty today - and the by-product of peace and stability, prosperity, weren't they also achieved on horseback? In short...
…
For this group of warriors represented by Li Xiaogong and Li Ji, the significance of horses and riding skills is like the mobile phones and computers of young people in later generations. The meaning is too deep and long-lasting.
Suddenly seeing something that is likely to completely replace these things, it feels like the young people of later generations have seen the Yuan Universe. Although the capital is making a big noise, the young people don't buy it at all.
So all of a sudden, even though the entire school grounds gathered a group of the top military elites of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty himself was present, it was all because of this steam car. However... after staring at the steam car for a long time, there was no one there.
Take a good look at this thing.
On the one hand, as mentioned above, the horses still carry the emotional filter of these knights. On the other hand...as Li Er secretly complained, this steam car is really a bit crude...
