I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Li Shimin was stunned, so powerful?

He didn't doubt that Zhang Nuo lied to him, not to mention the friendship between the two of them, just Zhang Nuo's feelings for Datang could guarantee that Zhang Nuo would not do such a thing.

He just can't imagine what industry is, and why it is more important than a sufficient treasury, national security, and world prosperity, even Zhang Nuo is so cautious.

That's right, he could see that Zhang Nuo seemed to be really cautious in this regard, not at all like in the past, when he took the fairy food as soon as he said it, the new army practiced it as soon as he said it, and all kinds of new commercial novelties were sold as soon as they were sold , but only in this industry, Zhang Nuo seems to be very unconfident. It is clear that everything is made under his guidance, but he is walking on eggshells and being careful everywhere.

What is this for?

If you have any questions, just ask directly. This is the style between Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, and Zhang Nuo is the same.

"Industry, to put it bluntly, means that manufacturing power is also productivity. The development of productivity can drive the development of the entire country, but if the development of productivity is crooked or the route is wrong, the whole country may not change for hundreds of years. !"

"So, do you think I should be cautious? Besides, how can I handle the industrial development of the entire country alone? I am short of talents, all kinds of talents, otherwise I would have thrown off my arms and worked long ago. !"

Li Shimin blinked his eyes after hearing this, he didn't understand, the lack of talents is enough to cultivate slowly, there are so many people in the Tang Dynasty, as long as they are willing to teach, there must be some geniuses.

As for worrying about going the wrong way, Li Shimin always felt that Zhang Nuo was too worried?

Doesn’t the general supervisor of the Ministry of Industry often make some messy things that are useless? It’s nothing more than wasting some money and time. How could it be so serious?

Looking at Li Shimin like that, Zhang Nuo sighed. He really didn't know the impact of rapid industrial development and technology on society.

How to say this thing, maybe it's a bit boring to say so dryly, so I have to tell a story to this old brother who doesn't blame anyone who doesn't know.

"Lao Li, how about it? We brothers haven't had such a chat for a long time, so let me tell you a story about an island country, which was once known as the empire on which the sun never sets. After listening to his story, You will understand the relationship between industry and national power!"

Li Shimin didn't know what was wrong, just hearing the name of the empire on which the sun never sets felt inexplicably ignited. This name sounds like a powerful empire, but he didn't know what kind of past it had.

Zhang Nuo pondered for a while, and slowly began to recall while saying,

"It's an island country. In terms of size and area, it's only as big as a land in the Tang Dynasty. Its mineral resources are not particularly rich, but it has to be said that it is also a place blessed by heaven and luck. It can definitely be called an outstanding person. !"

Following the introduction at the beginning, Zhang Nuo slowly introduced to Li Shimin the past of the once powerful and amazing maritime empire recorded in the history books of later generations.

The strange aristocratic system, the strange house, the strange colony and the unrestrained technological development, and the empire on which the sun never sets relies on the development of science and technology to rapidly develop its national power, and then grab the territory and plunder resources, continue to climb the technology, and then grab more More sites and resources, this is the road to a virtuous circle.

However, just a few decades of negligence, perhaps it should be said that it is not negligence, but the kind of arrogance in their bones, which makes their arrogance look down on the technology and combat power of other countries, and finally win the war in the whole world. The country was almost destroyed, and the world hegemony was left behind and ceased to exist.

Chapter 584 Li Shimin's Thoughts

The story of Zhang Nuo is very long, and it contains not only the development and rise and fall of the country, but also the changes of the whole world, the leap of science and technology, the rise of the nation, and the fall of hegemony.

Zhang Nuo told the whole story for more than two hours, and even changed the lamb chops and beer on the table several times before Zhang Nuo finished the whole story with a lot of content.

At the same time, I secretly regretted it, mother, I will never do this again in the future, my mother is a critic, I planned to introduce it casually, how did it end up talking about the literacy of modern history from before World War I to after World War II?

This shit is outrageous, let alone, tired!

On the contrary, Li Shimin was thrilled to hear it. As the controller of a country, he could feel the control and response of each of the stunning or talented national leaders in the story from just a few words of Zhang Nuo.

Only those who are also the controllers of the country know how difficult it is to control a country to move forward and expand continuously.

What's more, it seems that those people in the story can't make a final decision in their own country. Isn't it funny that their own country still has to discuss with others, and they can be pushed back by their own courtiers. Even if there is a surrender faction among the courtiers, they can't deal with it?

Although Li Shimin also has admonishers on his side, if anyone dares to raise the issue of surrender in the court, there is no need to wait for a suitable opportunity, and you will be ashamed on the spot.

Moreover, there is actually such a rule that you have to abdicate after working for a few years. Isn’t this nonsense? If anyone tells Li Shimin that you have to abdicate after eight years of hard work for the throne, he will probably have to smoke on the spot. The knife cut it!

However, in addition to those things like the development of the country, what Zhang Nuo talked about most and in the most detail was the technological products that emerged in endlessly and changed with each passing day.

It seems that since the steam engine came out, in just one or two hundred years, the whole world began to speed up, and all kinds of unimaginable items appeared like that.

Airplanes that can fly people into the sky, bombs that can destroy cities with one blow, submarines that can dive into the depths of the ocean, telephones that can make people talk to each other thousands of miles away...

It turns out that the so-called industry is accumulated step by step, starting from the simplest steam engine, slowly iterating, and then the pace is getting faster and faster, climbing the technology tree like a blowout.

And the productivity of the whole world is also booming, the materials are extremely abundant, and the national strength is even stronger to the extreme.

It seems that this is the reason why brother Zhang Nuo must promote the development of industry. It is also true that when manpower is exhausted, the current Xuanjia Army and Wuwei are so elite, but they can meet those in the story. Soldiers with guns, cannons, and tanks and armored vehicles may only be slaughtered.

Li Shimin took a deep breath. He knew that a story is a story after all, but the most important thing is the truth experienced in the story.

After all, a country still has to rely on industry to develop. Only when industry develops can supplies be abundant. Only after supplies are abundant can more people be liberated from the most basic jobs, thereby producing more supplies and technology, forming a whole benign cycle.

Although Li Shimin hasn't really seen the power of the industry.However, he is no longer the idiot who didn't know anything two years ago. Apart from other things, at least he has seen many magical items here, and now he thinks they are all industrial products.

In other words, as long as he works hard, maybe he can see this kind of thing everywhere in Datang in his lifetime?

Moreover, he had also ridden in Zhang Nuo's car, and he was fascinated by the fast and smooth feeling. In the future, as long as the industry develops, this kind of artifact can also be produced?

At this time, Li Shimin was only vaguely aware of the industrial development everywhere, but after all, he didn't see the real thing, and he couldn't actually appreciate the great power of industrial development.So, you can only guess based on your own imagination.

However, he knew that Zhang Nuo would not cheat him!

Then, this Goryeo should go all the way!

It's just that he still has another question, that is, why didn't Zhang Nuo put this industrial base around Chang'an?

Logically speaking, if it is placed in Chang'an, it will be better for talent recruitment, communication with the court, and even sales.

Is there a more prosperous place in this world than Chang'an?

Zhang Nuo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Li Shimin's question.

"Old Li, you have to understand that industrially produced items are a type of commodity after all, so as long as they are commodities, the cost must be considered!"

"I obviously have minerals, machinery, and manpower to produce in Korea. Why should I transport those raw materials to Chang'an for production?"

"Besides, haven't you heard me say it before? After the large-scale application of this steam engine, the entire sky will be dark, and the water will become poisonous. Obviously other places can carry it. Don't you have to shut down this place?" Harm?"

"You must know that today's Guanzhong, because of hundreds of years of cultivation, the soil is already barren, and if the disaster continues, it will become a desert!"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, is there such a thing?

Zhang Nuo sighed, and said seriously,

"If it is necessary pollution and damage, then we are not pedantic people. Naturally, development must be ensured first, but if it can be avoided, it is better to avoid it as much as possible. After all, who doesn't want to live among green mountains and green waters?" isn't it?"

"What we are harming now is the inheritance of future generations!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized when he heard this, it turned out to be like this, it seems that he had misunderstood, he just thought about the unity of man and nature, and the natural way of Taoism.

Seeing that it was too late, Zhang Nuo took the initiative to tell Li Shimin,

"Lao Li, in this way, we can't rely on the country for the development of this industry. I plan to build the first steam engine-driven factory in Datang Pass here. What kind of factory do you think is good?"

Li Shimin didn't expect that Zhang Nuo would ask his own opinion on this kind of matter. You must know that Zhang Nuo was quite confident in business in the past.

But before he started to feel complacent, he figured it out for himself. Zhang Nuo didn't know what to do. There were too many things to do, and he couldn't keep busy. That's why he was so confused. This kind of consideration is afraid of leading Datang to a crooked road.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly thought of the island country in the story Zhang Nuo just told, and said with an idea,

"Brother, why don't we start from the textile workshop according to the routine that the sun never sets, oh, the sun never sets!"

Chapter 585

In Li Shimin's "simple" thinking, since the empire on which the sun never sets has risen all the way to conquer the world since the appearance of the steam engine, then Datang can naturally follow this path again.

As for what happened in the middle of the businessman making troubles and demanding rights, hehe, if it really happened in Datang, come, tell me what you think, and I will send the elite of the Xuanjia Army to come to your door to have a heart-to-heart talk, and I guarantee that you will not Other thoughts.

Just kidding, this world was brought down by me, and this throne was snatched by me. In the whole world, is it the king's land leading the land? Could it be the king's ministers? The so-called rights are definitely the most untouchable scales of Li Shimin!

Even if an evildoer is like Zhang Nuo, he can be trusted and can grant all kinds of impossible rights, but these rights are all given by him voluntarily, or forced to pass by, Zhang Nuo doesn't care about him, let alone himself, because he can accept them at any time. return.

But if anyone dares to take the initiative to ask him for power, and still yells to make trouble, will he really think that his military service in those years was for nothing?Do you really think that there are fewer dead souls under Li Shimin's sword?

As for the colonial rebellion and uprising in the story, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at all. Just kidding, the Tang Dynasty is rich and outstanding, so it can't be compared to an island country?

Why engage in local governance?

Anyway, Datang doesn't have many other things. Those who want to be officials will definitely catch a lot. As long as they are well trained, the more territories they have laid down, the more officials they will send out.

Li Shimin doesn't do any enfeoffment, his thinking is the same as Zhang Nuo's, as long as it is conquered, it will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it has to follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty.

All religions and secular things are going to be fucked up. My intention is God’s will. If I don’t follow my will, it’s treason.

After Zhang Nuo heard what Li Shimin said, he blinked his eyes in a daze, can he still do this?

But I turned around and thought, why not? If you go through the industrial revolution according to the routine that the sun never sets, there is nothing wrong with it. As long as those ideas and other things are kicked out, if it is just technology and business development, Absolutely.

For example, the textile factory mentioned by Li Shimin just now, as long as this thing is built, Zhang Nuo is sure that many people will be greedy, and then they will clamor for steam engines.

After all, according to the information Zhang Nuo knew, the new spinning machines and looms driven by steam engines were hundreds of times faster than the existing manual machines!

And most importantly, although the steam engine is very primitive, it has great power!

This is not the era when a machine is equipped with a small motor to turn and turn in the later generations. Generally, if the scale of this kind of factory is not particularly large, there is only one steam engine.

The steam engine drives the main shaft to rotate, and then the main shaft is linked to several horizontal shafts, and then the horizontal shafts drive the machines to run quickly through the belt.

In other words, as long as a steam engine is needed, all the machines in a small factory can be run, and the workers only need to stand in front of the machines to operate them.

Isn't this an increase of more than a hundred times compared to before?

After all, no matter how fast the previous human-powered machines were, people would be tired after all. But as long as the machine is not broken and the fuel is in place, it can continue to run like this.

Together, Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin feel that the current textile factory is the most suitable first category, and it is also the first steam factory.

Then this needs to be discussed by the two of you. It is certain to bring people to visit at that time. After all, it is necessary to promote steam engines, and at the same time, it is necessary to hook up with these big households in Datang to continue research and development.

But how to create a textile factory in the shortest time, which can not only operate normally, but also shock people and generate huge benefits at the same time, requires careful planning.

After all, Zhang Nuo can be regarded as sneaking back this time, but he can't stay here for too long. After all, Li Shimin can sneak away and let the prince supervise the country or be bold enough to let his father supervise the country, but there is only one Zhang Nuo. It's been a long time.

Although Ma Zhou can handle most of the government affairs, Ma Zhou has no right to make decisions on many important matters, so all kinds of situations require Zhang Nuo to solve these matters in a short time.

Li Shimin is naturally aware of this.What's more, he is different, that is, he is still waiting to take his wife and daughter-in-law to Korea for a stroll in Zhang Nuo's car.

If it was said that he just wanted to go out for a stroll and see the world by the way, then after hearing the stories Zhang Nuo just told, he was really curious about what Zhang Nuo did in Korea.

He really wanted to see if the railways and trains that cost countless steels were really so magical that they could carry a lot of goods at a time.

How spectacular would a rock crusher that can open mountains and crack rocks be?

Thinking about these things, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little excited. He always has a kind of enthusiasm and desire that others don't have for such behemoths.

In his opinion, the bigger the better, the fiercer the better, can match his status. Only in this way can he match his status as an emperor.

As for Zhang Nuo's car, it's good, and it's really comfortable, but after all, it's a bit petty. Thinking about his Long Mou, Zhang Nuo's car is just like a baby next to a strong man.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to say this, but it's a good thing he didn't say it, otherwise, if Zhang Nuo was really angry, he would really exchange a copy of "Tank Driving from Beginner to Master" first, and then make a A 99A bombarded Li Shimin's broken carriage.

The so-called Long Huan, to put it bluntly, is actually just a large carriage, but it is a bit bigger, allowing Li Shimin to handle official duties, receive guests, eat, rest and so on.

But at the end of the day, it’s still a buggy.Of course, there must be the ability to defend against knives, axes, chisels, crossbows and arrows, but compared to the king of land warfare in later generations, it must be that all beings are equal under one shot.

But I don't know if it's a tacit understanding. Although Li Shimin didn't say anything, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt that he wasn't aggressive enough.

This Nima has to drive by himself when going back and forth, and the car is still a small off-road vehicle. The agreed to hang up is the boss of Shenhao, and the agreed to go out must belong to Rolls?

This is the feeling that I have turned Shenhao into a dick. It seems that the force is not enough, and I have to learn.

Moreover, I still have a lot of things I don't understand. I can't drive a yacht, I can't drive a tank, I can't drive an airplane, I have to learn all of these!

Chapter 586 Zhang Nuo Goes Up

That night, Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin chatted very happily!

For them, it has been a long time since they have been so attentive and happy to talk about national affairs!

After all, every time these two people met together, it would basically turn into a fight after a few serious moments.

But this time is different. This time Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo are really discussing and studying the direction and development of a country as monarchs and ministers.

For Li Shimin, this was a feeling he hadn't experienced for a long time.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Nuo doesn't talk to him, it's that Zhang Nuo actually has no idea in his mind many times, and national affairs are not so simple.

In fact, he is like a child who knows what it is but doesn't know why it is. He can talk about household nonsense, of course, but if he really wants to deal with specific affairs, he still has too much to learn.

This is really not a joke. In fact, you can understand it when you think about it. For example, if a drought occurs in a certain road, I ask you how to deal with it at this time.

Then you must first know the specific situation of that road, such as geographical location, population, food reserves, transportation, local forces, etc., otherwise you will not be able to figure out how critical the disaster situation of this road is.

Secondly, it is not enough to just know these things. You also need to know the current situation of the court, how much silver is in the national inventory, how much grain is stored in the Changping warehouse, how the household department should operate, and how much allocation can solve the problem without affecting the operation of the court.

Finally, what is the character and ability of the officials from the DPRK and China, what level and which department officials should be sent to supervise the work, and how to avoid other disasters in the future and keep follow-up on the disaster relief situation, etc.

Which of these things does not require a sufficient understanding of the entire court and even the entire Tang Dynasty, as well as certain governance experience and wisdom to operate?

Is it true that Changsun Wuji and others are so easy to do?
