The family happily used the meal, and Li Shimin asked Li Tai to stay. When Li Chengqian saw it, he looked a little unhappy.
After all, he is now the prince and has the right to participate in politics. In his opinion, there is nothing he can't listen to.
But since this was Li Shimin's order, he could only drag his legs and walk towards his Eastern Palace step by step.
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's energetic look and was still very satisfied. He said to Li Tai,
"Qingque, I recall you because Cen Wenben reported that the experiment of "Seed Plan" in Youzhou area has been successful.
So I want to know when it can be planted in the area north of Yinshan and turn foreign races into Chinese people."
"I think it's a bit too early to conduct experiments directly north of Yinshan!" Li Tai understood the reason why it was Cen Wenben when he heard Li Shimin's words. However, Li Tai didn't want it if he was thinking about it.
The meaning of concealment.
Li Tai thought for a while, looked at the expression that seemed to be disappointed on Li Shimin's face, but explained further:
"A foreign race has never seen this farming model. If it is forcibly implemented in the foreign race's pastures, it will probably trigger the rebellion of the foreign race and even the opposition of the traditional nomadic forces of the foreign race.
Second, I don’t have enough technicians, so it is difficult to implement the corresponding technology on a large scale. Moreover, if I want to implement it in a foreign country, I need to have some force to protect the technicians.
As for the third point, I think this kind of thing is related to the century-long plan, so I need to act cautiously.
If you go directly to the foreign race to experiment, if it fails, it will be more difficult to implement it in the future.
In this way, I think it can be tested from the border areas where our Tang Dynasty borders other alien races to ensure that the grass seeds can adapt to the corresponding environment and avoid the occurrence of oranges growing in Huainan.
It is also an influence on aliens in the border areas, making it easier for them to accept in the future."
When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but touch his beard and sighed that it was Li Tai's cautious nature.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since you already have a curse in your heart, it is naturally a good thing. Where do you plan to verify it?"
Li Tai said solemnly: "Because this is more about assimilating foreign races through economic and cultural means, it requires communication between the two sides.
If we follow the environment, Lingzhou where Helan Mountain is located and Fengzhou where Hetao is located can be found.
We in China do not lack places to conduct experiments, but it is not enough to implement the "Seed Plan" in these places.
I think we need to renovate the roads, communicate with Fengzhou, Lingzhou, and form favorable control over these places. This is the key.
Because the transportation between Chang'an and the border is too difficult, both sides cannot form effective economic benefits. Even if these two places are raised, if they cannot continue to grow after reaching a certain scale, it will drag down the economic development of the Tang Dynasty.
If the mutual economic benefits are not great enough, then the voices of opposing the plan in the court will probably be one after another."
Although Li Tai did not understand Li Shimin's corresponding knowledge, Li Shimin still understood some economic concepts.
At least Li Shimin knew that Li Tai attached great importance to the economy, of course, in Li Shimin's understanding, economy is money.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "It's not enough for you to graz on the frontier. Are you planning to rebuild Qin Zhidao?"
"I think, but the Tang Dynasty cannot support such a project now." Li Tai shook his head and said, "If it is really necessary to build it, it must use Chang'an to Fengzhou as the main axis to form the main axis, and then Lingzhou, Yanzhou, Xia
Zhou and Yinzhou are Lianheng.
Based on such a cross skeleton, a lifeline of transportation that runs through the entire Loess Plateau is built.
To be honest, maybe it is a major project that is no less than the Grand Canal, at least the Tang Dynasty cannot undertake it now!"
"You really want to build it!" Li Shimin heard Li Tai's mouth with a little regret and a bit eager to try, but found that his son seemed to have a bit of Yang Guang's style, even more crazy than Yang Guang.
If the court officials knew Li Tai’s thoughts, they would probably have lined up one by one to ask for advice from him.
"The current national strength of the Tang Dynasty cannot support such a project." Li Tai evaluated it for a moment and said helplessly,
"Even the initial straight road is difficult to build now, even more difficult than Qin Shuo Qin Shuo!"
"Why?" Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard Li Tai's words.
To be honest, this is the first time I saw my son showing a look of distress when building things. After all, even if it was Zheng Baiqu, Li Tai said that it would be renovated.
Li Tai said, "In order to choose a suitable location for planting grass, I have checked the geographical information of this area.
Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, deserts and even deserts have appeared in this area. Therefore, if you want to build the Qin Straight Road, you must first control the desert.
Otherwise, the cost of maintaining the road every year will be very high, so high that it makes people feel unprofitable."
"Shui Jing Zhu·Heshui III": "I have noted that the Nanhe River, Beihe River and south of Anyang County are all Shafuer, and there are no Tuo Yishan."
When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, he seemed to think of something and recited it directly to Li Tai.
This scene made Li Tai widen his eyes. This is where the ancient people were awesome.
After reading the book, I only had an impression of these things and probably knew what it was, but Li Shimin could recite it directly.
Obviously, Li Shimin enjoyed Li Tai's gaze full of shock and admiration.
After all, I was honestly shocked by my son, and now I have to pretend back. This is a normal father-son relationship!
"Then do you mean Lingzhou and Fengzhou!" Li Shimin frowned as he listened to Li Tai's words.
"Yes, not!" Li Tai said, "The terrain of these two places is naturally very suitable.
But if we cannot control wind and sand and build a road, then in the future, not to mention foreign races, but if someone rebels, there will be a situation in Shu.
It will be very troublesome to take back these two places!"
"You mean, I will lose my land in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said with a serious expression.
"This matter is a plan for a century, so we must naturally take everything into account!" Li Tai looked at the pressure coming from Li Shimin, but he was not afraid.
"I naturally hope that the Tang Dynasty will last forever, but no dynasty has not been destroyed since ancient times.
My ambition is just hope that the Tang Dynasty can break out of the cycle of dynasty destruction. Please give Aye a clarification!”
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai looked at Li Shimin fearlessly, how could he pretend to be in front of Li Shimin!
If there was a change of emperor, Li Tai would not dare to speak so directly. If it were someone else, Li Shimin might have someone dragged him out and chopped him out.
But precisely because the emperor is Li Shimin, Li Tai is his and Empress Changsun's biological son.
Facing Li Tai's stubbornness, what can Li Shimin do!
Of course I forgive Li Tai!
Li Shimin coughed and said, "We father and son are just talking about these things in private. Don't put these words in the court!"
"As for your order!" Li Tai replied immediately to Li Shimin when he heard Li Shimin's words.
Li Shimin felt a headache. Originally, Li Shimin felt that Li Tai was leading him in Youzhou and his development was too fast.
This made Li Chengqian face a separatist force that could not be poured into the future when he took over the position, so he could only pull Li Tai back.
But it seems that there is a problem to bring Li Tai back to Chang'an. Li Tai is good at everything, but he just opens his mouth.
He has suffered a lot of losses since he was a child, but he still can't change this problem when he grows up.
Li Shimin had no doubt that if Li Tai stayed in Chang'an for a long time, he might have caused some trouble because of this mouth!
"You still have to find a way!" Li Shimin sighed in his heart, waved his hand to Li Tai and said, "You keep talking!"
Li Tai came to his senses and stopped tangling, but continued:
"So my idea is that compared with these two places where the road construction has not been completed, I prefer to try it in Longyou Road.
From Tianshui, Qinzhou, we will slowly develop to the west, and it will also facilitate the sampling of materials when conquering the four counties in Hexi in the future!
More importantly, if the Silk Road could be rebuilt like the Han Dynasty, then the livestock, cattle and horses produced would immediately have a place to use their skills, without having to be dispatched from Lingzhou, Fengzhou, or even Youzhou.
.”
"The Four Hexi County..." Li Shimin didn't expect that his son had just returned and had not even had a hot but had already begun to plan for the Four Hexi County. Even if he was thinking about political affairs, he would think from such a global perspective.
Although from the current perspective, both Xiazhou and Fengzhou are the best places to implement the Grass Plan, if you add the Silk Road, then try the Grass Plan toward Longyou Road.
It becomes inevitable.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "You make a plan first. The plan for Fengzhou in Lingzhou needs to be made, and the plan for Longyou needs to be done. When everything is done, hand it over."
"Make two!" Li Tai asked with a headache when he heard Li Shimin's words.
"What, don't you want to do it?" Li Shimin said a little lowly when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Do it!" Li Tai took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Then I will go back and make plans."
"Wait first!" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You can explain this matter first."
"Huh?" Li Tai heard Li Shimin's words, but after hearing it, he looked at Li Tai in confusion.
"Lu Cai brought the students from the Agricultural College to train you in Zheng Baiqu?"
Li Shimin said to Li Tai directly, to be honest, Li Shimin felt that there was no need to attack him indirectly, after all, Li Tai was a mistake in training troops!
"Training troops? It's unfair!" Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a sad face,
"That was trying to convert the military talent to civilians. I just wanted to improve the productivity of crops, so I chose the military talent of agricultural production!"
"It is necessary to farming to require legion talent..." Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with a little confusion, wondering whether he should condemn Li Tai for being extravagant.
"There are still some!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said,
"I think that troops that can produce legion talents will at least be stronger than ordinary farmers in terms of organizational strength and discipline.
If you only cultivate alone, it will naturally not matter, but if you work collectively, you will have much more organizational and discipline than ordinary farmers.
For other farmers, it is the limit to being able to cultivate hundreds of acres of land by one person.
But if farmers who control talents are used to master various agricultural production equipment, and cooperate with a tacit group, their efficiency will definitely be twenty times higher than that of ordinary farmers."
"Twenty times..." Li Shimin was a little surprised by the conclusion drawn by three-dimensional love and said, "How did you get this data?"
Li Tai explained: "The thousands of hectares of Zheng Baiqu were handed over to Lu Cai and almost three to five thousand people to take care of.
So after comparing it, although there will be certain differences in the data, the gap of twenty times is definitely there.
Even in the future, as the tools are improved, agricultural groups with talented control will be more efficient in farming!”
"Is this why you chose to control your talents? In order to facilitate these farmers, they can quickly adapt to the various novel farm tools you launched?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai back at Li Tai's words.
"Yeah!" Li Tai thought for a while and said, "I have also checked out various war department talents, including the cooperation of Yangzhou soldiers, Shuofang's decathlon, and Youzhou local inheritance skills, etc.
But in the end I chose to control it because I trained them not to fight, but to farm, so that they could use various production tools to the extreme, which would be more suitable for them!”
"Is it a military to use for civilian use?" Li Shimin thought when he heard Li Tai's words.
To be honest, Li Shimin didn't take this militia seriously, because it really couldn't threaten himself.
And if we take a step back, this army will farm in Zhengbaiqu. If we want to affect ourselves in Chang'an City, even if the entire Tang Dynasty's military system will collapse to a point.
What Li Shimin just didn't understand was that this army had never killed people. Apart from the influence of military music, there was not necessarily continuous military training. How did the army talent come into being? This is what Li Shimin was most curious about.
After all, Li Shimin himself has extraordinary military achievements. He knows whether the talent of the army is almost the essential difference between elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers. Therefore, if he can stabilize the production of an army with the talent of the War Department, Li Shimin said that he can fight everything!
Li Shimin thought of this and said to Li Tai: "Qingque, since the talent of this team is control, then I will let Xuanjia Guard choose a 100-man column to guide this team... The militia will control the talent. What do you think?
”
"Qingque thanks Aye for his care. Qingque cannot ask for this matter. If they can get the Xuanjia Guard's tips, they will definitely be able to master the talent of this war department more skillfully, so as to better complete the technological transformation from military to civilians." Li Tai
He hurriedly said.
When Li Shimin heard Li Tai's words, he nodded with satisfaction.
Li Tai was not in Chang'an at the beginning, and he didn't care about the extra militia in Zheng Baiqu.
But now that Li Tai has returned to Chang'an, he naturally has to monitor this force.
It is obvious that Li Tai is a sincere person and is full of calmness.
Li Shimin patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "Since I'm back to Chang'an, I'll take a break for a while, and there's no hurry to plan."
"Thank you!" Li Tai responded immediately when he heard Li Shimin's words.
