It was a difficult decision for Li Tai to betray Li Sheng, but pretending to be stupid to the emperor,
That would not only be difficult, but also extremely dangerous, because this is the emperor!
Emperor in a political sense!
The crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke. It directly affects the legitimacy of the entire Tang Dynasty. The prince, not the prince, can actually bargain with the emperor. So, do we still have the social contract that the prince breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty?
Of course it's okay if you can get through it, but the risk calculation is still,
But in such a dangerous situation, an idea suddenly popped into Li Tai's mind.
Is it really better to offend the emperor than to offend Li Sheng?
My father was angry. The worst he could do was lose his title, but would he offend Li Sheng?
There seems to be no consequences.
But although there seemed to be no consequences, Li Tai felt that something was wrong. He must not mess with Li Sheng this time!
Although Li Sheng is not in front of him at the moment, and there is no clear reason.
But this instinct is too strong.
Say it again.
Although there are various considerations and vigilances, Li Tai was educated in Confucianism after all. As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, although Li Sheng is definitely no better than his biological father, it is obviously not a big deal to protect Li Sheng in front of his father.
of.
So after thinking about it, Li Tai hesitated and said, "I borrowed some ideas from the Holy King. I feel that the development of commerce and industry mainly lies in..."
When Li Tai said this, his voice quickly dropped, and then he stopped talking.
Because according to his analysis just now, it's time for Li Er to start questioning him severely.
If you don't watch your words and be careful at this time, you will end up getting killed.
But then, a scene that Li Tai didn't expect appeared. Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? What's the mystery of this?"
Li Tai:?
Isn't it a political dispute in the court?
Why did the topic turn to this? No, the topic did not change. Li Er was originally asking about this "company".
Damn it, is my father really just interested in this company?
At this moment, Li Tai's heart was suddenly determined. If this is the case, then this matter will be simple, just say it!
At the moment, there is a surging river, which is endless.
"This company is simple. Father, in fact, this thing has more factories, so it also needs a government office. This government office is called a company. The advantage of this company is."
“In addition to coordinating production in various factories, another major benefit is that it facilitates the organization of research and development!”
"R&D?"
Li Tai first talked a lot about the company. Li Er also knew that this "company" was not an "engineering company". He was quite interested in these things, because the Tang Dynasty would lead China to build a country from agriculture in the future.
, turn to the dual pillars of workers and peasants to build a country, and then this industrial matter.
In addition to production itself, various organizational structures are of course also very important and must be understood. Not to mention, this "company" did not appear out of thin air, but was thought up by Li Sheng, so its importance is even more important.
There is no doubt about it.
However, although these are critical and important, they are not urgent and are not issues that need to be resolved immediately.
What needs to be done most right now is the industrial upgrading!
When Li Tai talked about research and development, Li Er was already a little impatient and frowned - Li Tai immediately fell silent.
Li Tai was also well-known in history as a young man. He was well-known in Chang'an and had a good ability to observe people's emotions. He shut up immediately when he saw Li Er showing a displeased look.
Li Tai was also a little surprised. Why was he suddenly unhappy again? R&D and R&D were not prohibited. How could this be possible?
Li Er frowned, and then felt a little unhappy. He glanced at Li Tai and Li Ke and said, "Although you two have not been crowned princes, you are still my children. Now that you are busy with the business of merchants every day, what will the people think?
?”
This is what I said.
In fact, Li Er doesn't have any special meaning, it just means to complain.
But when Li Tai heard this, his heart suddenly went cold - Damn it, if his father planned to take him back and stop him from running this company, then he would have absolutely no power to resist!
Then this great cause will be completely lost!
Li Tai's heart felt cold and he hurriedly said, "Father, this is also the normal behavior of business and industry. I am just,"
Anyway, at this time, Li Tai didn't dare to say anything else. He could only say "just". But then, he saw Li Er frowning more tightly, "Okay, okay, I'm not surprised.
You, I came to see the Holy King this time to ask about the plan for industrial upgrading, but I didn’t expect to meet you."
At this time, Li Erban complained and got to know Li Tai, and then he was ready to leave here and find a way to find Li Sheng.
But when Li Tai heard this, he looked stunned.
"Father, do you mean industrial upgrading?"
"That's right, what do you think?" Li Er was still very irritated. How could a guy like Li Tai understand these new things?
This boy's poetry and song skills are pretty good, probably one-tenth of Li Sheng's level, but when it comes to governing the country, he is really not good enough.
but.
"Father, this is easy. The upgrading of this industry depends on research and development."
"What?"
Li Er was stunned for a moment.
I never thought that Li Tai, a person who enjoys poetry and music, would also understand this!
...
"How do you say it? Tell your father in detail!"
Li Er suddenly became so excited that he even called himself "father" instead of "father"!
This shocked Li Tai. What was going on and he was so excited all of a sudden?
But in an instant, others also realized, yes, this is why my father came out this time.
In this case, then this matter is simple.
Li Tai turned on the scripted mode on the spot.
"This so-called industrial upgrading means that an economy must constantly update its creation technology in order to produce better and better things. In the end, the output may be the same, but the value will be higher and higher. According to the standards before the Tang Dynasty,
Take steel as an example. Although the cost of steel in Datang has not changed much from before, because it is all standard steel produced in blast furnaces, its value has increased significantly."
"This value may seem insignificant within the Tang Dynasty, but once it is traded with overseas countries, it will immediately become useful. It can be exchanged and bring an endless supply of gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Tai explained this.
Li Er's eyes suddenly showed excitement.
Even Wei Zheng, Fang Du and other ministers behind him showed excitement.
The expression on his face seemed to say three words.
Right!
Yes, that’s what happened!
Of course, this explanation itself does not answer the question. After all, knowing what industrial upgrading is does not mean that it can be achieved.
