Queen Changsun said nothing when she saw Li Shimin.
Then he asked: "Your Majesty, Yun'er is here, why don't you talk to him first?"
Li Shimin knew it would be impossible not to talk, so he cleared his throat.
"Okay! If anything happens to Yun'er, tell me!"
Li Yun already felt that Li Shimin didn't want to talk to him.
He also knew that during this period, he asked Li Shimin for money almost every day.
If not for anything else, the Ministry of Science and Technology needs a lot of money.
Li Shimin was also very annoyed by him.
However, he had to accept it.
Li Min didn't care so much, he believed Li Min's words.
Because Li Min said that when Li Shimin invests more and more, there will be a point of no return.
"Father, I still need one hundred talents here, and I would like to ask for approval now."
Need talents again?
"Didn't we only approve 300 people last time?"
Li Shimin asked back.
Remember last time, he approved 300 people for Li Yun, why is he here again?
You know, each of these three hundred people received one hundred taels of silver a day.
Three hundred people, it costs 30,000 a day, nearly 100,000 taels a month!
After a year, one million taels cannot be escaped.
Now we need another hundred people, and no one can bear it.
The money of the imperial court was also earned through hard work.
Some of it is earned.
Li Yun would never know the hard work involved.
Li Shimin never imagined that the money would be spent so quickly.
When I asked Li Min how much he had invested, he felt it was just a series of numbers.
But when he devoted himself to it, he felt heartbroken.
Li Yun seemed to feel Li Shimin's reluctance.
So, he said something.
It was hard for Li Shimin to refuse.
"Father, there are a lot of talents needed for research now, and we have already started researching the next dozen telegraphs. Within half a year, we will definitely be able to create the second generation of telegraphs! The second generation has more functions and can be more advanced.
It has fast sending and receiving, and also has a reminder function. It can be used as a supplement in areas where telephones cannot be set up, and can implement the court's orders faster. If it reaches the third generation, there will even be no need for specialized talents to come to decode, and no one will be on duty.
, the content will appear on the machine.”
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt very good.
At present, Li Min only has the first generation of telegraph, but has not developed the second generation.
Not to mention the third generation.
The third generation has even better functions, and he wants it very much.
It has always been the Shengtang Group that has the upper hand, but now, it just so happens that I can surpass him.
Therefore, after Li Shimin heard this, he was simply wonderful.
Said: "Okay! Very good, bring it over and I will approve it for you!"
Then he took the paper from Li Yun's hand.
Just when I was about to give instructions.
But if you take a closer look, you're a little surprised.
"Isn't this the wrong amount? Why is it so expensive?"
Queen Changsun also looked at it.
It says one hundred people, and one person is two hundred taels per day!
It feels twice as expensive as last time.
"Because Sixth Brother's activities have been completed, the price has been raised. If we don't recruit these 100 more people today, then the price will be raised to 500 taels tomorrow. So I am thinking about recruiting talents quickly, otherwise the labor cost will be higher.
It’s going to be high again.”
I feel like this is another one of Li Min's schemes.
We'll give you a low price first, then raise the price, allowing you to add people quickly.
Slowly you will find that the plate is getting bigger.
"That much money? Does it make any difference?"
"The more expensive they are, the better their technology is!" Li Yun said.
"oh?"
Li Shimin seemed to be thinking about something.
"Is there another saying that talents are divided into three, six or nine grades?" Queen Changsun asked.
"Yes, Your Highness the Queen! These people are all hard-educated by Sixth Brother's Shengtang Group. Each senior talent invests no less than one million taels, and Shengtang Group also encourages them to continue learning. Every month they invest
The amount of money is too much to count. Brother Liu’s previous activities were all about giving money to encourage the private sector to invest in research and development. Otherwise, those people’s one thousand taels a day is not expensive!”
Li Yun said this.
Putting it this way, it seems that they are taking advantage of Li Min.
Therefore, Li Shimin had a clearer idea.
"If I give you three hundred people, can you upgrade the telegraph to the second generation within three months?"
"able!"
Li Yun said with great confidence.
Li Shimin probably understood something at this time.
He felt that he was falling into Li Min's trap.
I'll give you some sweetness in the early stage, and then slowly slaughter you later.
"If five hundred people are given, I can guarantee that I will complete the task within two months! I can also research things in other directions at the same time."
Li Yun then said.
This made Li Shimin's heart move.
Two hundred taels for one person, one hundred thousand taels for five hundred people a day, three million taels a month, more than 30 million taels a year.
That's not a small amount, but if you don't invest quickly, talents will become more and more expensive. If you want to produce some research results quickly, you will have to pay more money.
So Li Shimin said: "Okay, I will give you five hundred people! You must complete the upgrade within two months! At that time, I will also tell the world that the imperial court has completed the telegraph upgrade! The imperial court has paid a huge amount for people's livelihood.
effort!"
This is the result Li Shimin wants.
It's difficult for him to be here for the past few months.
As long as half a year has passed, he will resume taxes on Shengtang Group.
Then at that time, one day may be equal to these people's annual income.
At that time, I can add more people.
Maybe he can surpass Li Min.
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Yun was overjoyed.
Li Shimin seemed to have something more to say.
So he said: "By the way, these talents cannot be left idle. Have you asked the young people in the palace to come over and learn their skills?"
"Yes, Father! I have already asked them to teach me, and they are divided into ten classes. Each class teaches something different."
"Very good. In this way, it won't take too long for the imperial court to have scientific researchers!"
Li Shimin expressed joy.
Queen Changsun sighed on the side: "In the future, the Tang Dynasty will be full of schools of thought contending! And this is all because the court has made a good start!"
"What the Queen said is absolutely true! I thought it was the same!"
Li Shimin is very eager for the future.
But only Li Yun knew that the gap between him and Li Min was not the slightest bit.
But in fact, if you can rely on Li Min's foundation, then your own research will be accelerated.
One day in the future, it may be possible to surpass Shengtang Group in some aspects.
After all, they specialize in one research and are small and refined, while Shengtang Group is large and comprehensive.
"Father, I will go down and take care of things right away!"
"Go ahead and work hard. If the Ministry of Science and Technology can make some achievements, I will reward you greatly!"
