But it was still enough to make Li Erlongyan very happy, because having an idea is better than not having one at all.
However, Li Er is still a little worried in his heart, but this kid actually only has a partial understanding.
If that's the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle, and we will have to do everything possible to find a way to see Li Sheng.
And Li Er always has a feeling.
Yes, since this industrial upgrading requires the creation of new things, even if Li Sheng has come up with many new things so far. But Li Sheng is not a living Buddha, how could he come up with it all of a sudden?
This is not something that can be solved by issuing a military order.
Just like in a battle formation, strict rewards and punishments can make soldiers fight bravely - this determines whether an army is usable.
But that's not all. In addition to having a reward and punishment system, soldiers must also have a belief. You must convince them that everyone is fighting for a just cause. This determines whether the army can fight against the wind. In addition to being usable, it is also good.
It's a useful question, and coercion and inducement are useless in this kind of thing. It's not that an army like that can't fight.
Once encountering a more difficult battle, this kind of army will definitely be destroyed at the speed of light. This is why China in ancient times paid special attention to ethics - this ethics is often equated with bound feet by half-full literati in later generations. However,
In fact, that’s not what it means at all. Ethics is politics and consensus, and these cannot be solved with a military order.
The same goes for industrial upgrading, which is not something that can be solved with severe punishments.
But then, Li Tai was startled when he heard this, and then laughed.
"Father, isn't this simple?"
"Although industrial upgrading requires innovation, it does not just require innovation."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Li Er was curious, but he had never read this theory in the "Money and Banking"!
Then Li Tai smiled and said, "It's simple, like steel. Standard steel is the strongest steel in the world. It is an industrial upgrade and brings countless benefits to Datang. But if someone creates the softest steel in the world,
What do you think, Father?"
"The softest steel? Steel can still..."
Li Ergang wanted to say how could steel be soft? But then he realized - yes, since standard steel is the hardest steel, then of course the various pig irons and wrought irons in the past were relatively soft.
But this is strange, because steel is undoubtedly the harder the better.
Since the harder the better, what's the use of being soft?
Moreover, it is not only unclear what the use of this soft steel is, but also why Li Tai mentioned such a strange example and what he wanted to express is also difficult to understand.
For a moment, Li Er couldn't help but look back at Wei Zheng, Fang Du, and the others. However, when they looked at each other, everyone's eyes turned black.
strangeness!
However, Li Tai obviously did not find it strange and said with a smile, "This is the softest steel, which has never been seen in ancient times. If talented people can create it, it will be a great achievement. This is also an innovation! But it is not an industrial upgrade. Because
Soft steel has outlived its purpose."
Li Er nodded slowly, vaguely seeming to have touched on something key, but if he really thought about it carefully, he would get nothing.
"So? What is the route of industrial upgrading?"
As soon as he asked this question, Li Er felt that the feeling in his mind became stronger, but the unclear and unclear feeling also became stronger!
It's simply torture.
But fortunately, Li Tai is his own son after all, and he didn’t dare to show off, so he answered honestly, “So this industrial upgrading seems to have no taboos. As long as you can come up with new technologies and create new things, better things.”
, can lead to industrial upgrading, but it is not. Because of soft steel."
"Although it is special, if no one needs it, no one will buy it. If no one buys it, then this thing has nothing to do with the world!"
"No one knows how to buy it, and no one cares about it if they can't buy it - just like the stones on the roadside! Therefore, if we want to talk about the direction of the upgrading of this industry, it will naturally depend on demand, Father!"
"need."
Li Er's eyes widened.
His whole face froze for a moment.
After a long time.
Only then did a pair of dragon eyes slowly glow again, feeling extremely excited.
"I understand that industrial upgrading requires nothing more than new technologies."
"As for which way to use this new technology, it depends on what the people in the world need, and then the court will do it. Isn't this the right direction?"
"I understand."
This time, Li Er didn't see Li Sheng when he arrived, which really made him feel a little disappointed. After all, his child was his own flesh and blood, and it was always a bad feeling that he always failed to meet him.
But Li Er was still very happy, because the main goal of this trip was finally achieved!
With this understanding, we have figured out what "industrial upgrading" is and where the path to upgrading lies. This key information is so important to Li Er!
And there was another thing about Li Er that made him extremely excited.
This guy Li Tai is doing this "company" like nothing!
It's not that the company itself excites me - the management of the "company" itself is indeed good, but this is not the main reason for my excitement.
There are so many maritime manufacturers in China that Li Er doesn't have time to be happy about them all. He is happy about this.
Because the establishment of a royal heir has been a long-standing problem since ancient times. No matter how the old emperor arranged it, there would always be internal hostility among the princes.
Now even though I think that my control over the world is as good as that of most emperors in ancient and modern times, the only thing I can do about the prince is to put the princes away as much as possible and let them stay in different places without meeting each other.
That's all.
If you really want to live in the same place all year round, conflicts and internal strife are inevitable.
It needs to be stored somewhere else.
It is impossible to give too much support. After all, the Tang Dynasty is not a regime like the Western Jin Dynasty. Chang'an must have great power to avoid instability in the world. This is an iron rule.
After this, although it was stable, how could one bear it as a father-in-law? In a sense, the other princes almost died in infancy.
But now the situation is different. These princes cannot have the most important military power, so naturally they say goodbye to wealth and honor. But now that there are these factories and companies, things are different!
This thing can be done by every prince, and this is equivalent to allowing all princes in disguise to get rid of the shackles of royal status and truly have their own lives.
As for the problem of who gets the wealth, this can be regarded as solved. Whoever has the ability will naturally make a profit!
Doesn’t this solve a big problem?
How could Li Er not be happy?
After clearing these joints, Li Er immediately returned to Chang'an and started the next step.
Chapter 1748
Now for Li Er, the most important task is to immediately implement this set of industrial upgrading methods for him.
This matter has been bothering him for several months. Li Er even felt that there was something wrong with his hairstyle. Now he finally had a way out, but he had to act immediately.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Er suddenly realized something. The key to industrial upgrading was finally figured out, but in fact it was not something that particularly required the court's intervention.
In other words, this idea is not the kind of work like dredging rivers that the court feels must be done, but the officials and people below think it is unnecessary, but it is the work of the people.
These factory guys and those maritime merchants also need an explanation of how this "industrial upgrading" is going to happen!
In other words, the court does not actually need to do anything, as long as this new knowledge point spreads - and this obviously does not require the use of treasury and troops, so it does not matter whether the emperor returns to Chang'an to take charge of the overall situation.
.
So the task of doing this naturally fell on the old boy Changsun Wuji. He was also one of the leaders of the Tang Dynasty scholars and was very good at talking. As long as Changsun Wuji published a few articles in various newspapers and periodicals, he would soon be
It will spread all over the world. But of course it is not enough for Changsun Wuji to publish an article on such an important matter. The efficiency must be stretched to the limit, so other newspapers and magazines need to be mobilized to publish the article. At the same time, all municipal offices must
Cooperate accordingly.
The officials in these yamen naturally have to learn this set of things themselves, and then the communication efficiency will be the highest. However, these do not require the emperor to personally take charge, it is just a matter of a piece of edict.
So in the end, Li Er did not return to Chang'an. After all, there was no need for it, so Li Er would naturally want to spend more time outside the palace.
Although this was the grand ambition of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er still knew how to adjust his life. He directly issued an edict, instructing Li Tai and Li Ke to build a palace for me here. There must be no mistakes.
Of course, Li Er is not just looking for trouble to trouble his son. There is a reason for doing this, and it is also good for Li Tai and Li Ke's business. Originally, Li Er would not have thought of this benefit, but because of his previous personal visit to America, Li Er
The second one was also inspired.
The role of the emperor is not only to sit in the capital and conduct military campaigns personally, because these are all roles in the military field, and they also have a role in the production field.
If the place where the emperor personally hangs out happens to be a factory that produces objects - or something similar, then the people will naturally think that the things produced here are good things, and think they are good things in the world that are close to tribute.
This is the function of this palace. Since the "Hong Kong Fa Sea Trade" run by these two boys can build a palace for the emperor, then wouldn't the other things they build also be of imperial grade?
But of course Li Er is still a little doubtful about this, because the things used by the emperor naturally have the attribute of "ritual utensils". To put it bluntly, they have political attributes. It is best not to spread them everywhere, but compared to the great cause in front of him
, this palace is not a major event involving the whole world, so Li Er put this question behind him and concentrated on spending a rare "holiday" in the palace of Saint Virgin Port.
But this "holiday" soon broke.
Because Li Sheng, who took a group of charming wives and concubines to travel to the sea, finally returned to Qiongzhou.
After hearing the news, Li Er almost burst into tears on the spot. As expected, this naughty kid like Mader, and Li Sheng, this wild boy, are the most naughty. It is so difficult for his own father to come and meet him in person!
This guy has finally arrived. Li Er is angry and funny. What's the use of this guy just arriving in Qiongzhou now? This matter has already been resolved!
Although this kid Li Tai also picked up on his eldest brother Li Sheng's wisdom, he is fine now. This makes Li Er can't help but feel a loss. It's not easy to see this kid. What do you think if he doesn't gather more wool before leaving?
What's the loss?
But soon, Li Er got an opportunity.
Good opportunity to harvest wool.
.......
But he said that Li and Li were in the palace, and now their identities were revealed. He ordered the state officials, garrison troops, and people in the nearby counties to stay calm and not make a fuss, and then they started to cultivate their moral character openly. Anyway, for now,
For Li Er.
Although he seemed to have done nothing, in fact, he was exhausted from searching in many places, and finally found a way for the people of the Tang Dynasty to make money. In a sense, from a certain perspective.
That’s a lot of hard work!
Of course, this is not the key. The key is that now the common people know the underlying logic and specific ideas behind industrial upgrading and making money. Now everyone is busy making money. As the emperor, he "hangs around the palace and ignores
Government affairs" and some "absurd behavior" will not cause any adverse effects - since the people are very busy, of course they will not have any impact, and naturally there will be no adverse effects.
After a few days of leisure, just when Li Er felt that the "advertising effect" was enough, and that the impact of playing here might be really bad, at this time, a letter was sent to the palace.
Li Er was happy when he saw this, because he was in this palace.
Although I haven't done any tricks like Chang'an merchant Lao Li, after all, the palace has been built, and everyone knows that the emperor is here, but after all, the emperor is still different from the stars of later generations. Being able to see the emperor himself looks great.
There are still a few of them, so after receiving the news that Li Sheng had arrived, Li Er thought that although he had solved the problem, he had not gained anything, so he revised a letter and sent it to Qiongzhou to express his regards -
—By the way, let’s take a look at what good things this guy Li Sheng did.
but.
This time the letter arrived, Li Er was stunned when he opened it, because Li Sheng only gave a brief reply to his old friend, Lao Li, and his attitude was quite mysterious. In other words, he was quite indifferent and did not talk about any detailed current situation.
Not to mention giving you wool, Li Erhao.
But there was a strange piece of paper attached to the letter!
This paper is very special. Li Er observed that different places on it have different thicknesses.
The entire piece of paper is long and strip-shaped, with an unusually thick thickness and a full hand feel, but the part with a line in the middle is even thinner.
Li Er was also very surprised as to how this paper was made, but this was obviously not the point.
It was the content of the note, with a line of font printed neatly on it, "One-day trip to Blue Manor"!
This font is very special, and Li Er is also curious about what it is.
