As Li Tai expected, the news that Li Tai summoned everyone was delivered to Li Shimin's table almost that night.
However, Li Shimin took a look and put it aside. After all, Li Shimin did not value the meeting itself, and half of the people inside were stuffed in it themselves.
Li Shimin really values what Li Tai’s meeting is. After all, Li Tai may come up with something that makes his eyes shine at any time.
Generally speaking, Li Tai would ask Bai He to make meeting minutes and he would get one by himself.
I have to say that Li Tai's habit of making meeting minutes is Li Shimin's favorite.
Although Li Tai's ability always surprised Li Shimin, Li Tai reassured Li Shimin. No matter how he looked at Li Tai, he was really sincere to him.
Compared to this, Li Chengqian is different. Although Li Chengqian has been staying in the East Palace, since his foot injury, Li Chengqian's personality has changed a little, becoming more sensitive and more autistic. Between him,
The contradiction is even greater.
Sometimes Li Shimin would sigh, why did Chengqian not have the good habit of writing diaries or taking meeting minutes like this, so that he could clearly understand his psychological feelings and purpose. Otherwise, even if he was the emperor, he would read it.
Not transparent!
To be honest, compared to Li Chengqian's belief that his men were gathered because of his charm, Li Tai knew very well that at least half of his subordinates defected to him because of Li Shimin.
So instead of doing things to hide, it is better to be more open-minded, so that Li Shimin can fully grasp himself!
In other words, no matter how much he makes a fuss, it is actually under Li Shimin's control.
Li Tai didn't think that there was anything wrong with this, because the world itself did not have so-called absolute freedom.
It is better for Li Shimin to draw a boundary for himself than to touch a person who is bleeding.
It's not about whether it's necessary or not, but about efficiency.
The next day, Li Tai took his personal guard to the Agricultural Academy early in the morning. When Li Tai brought Baihe and Lu Anshou to the conference room of the Agricultural Academy, Lu Cai, Du Chuke, Peacock, Wang Xuance, and Liu Shenwei,
Wang Zhenru, Wei Xu, and Ren Yaxiang were already waiting in this conference room.
As for Xue Rengui and Zu Changming guarding outside the gate, Tian Changgeng led Li Tai's personal guards to patrol the yard.
Li Tai's personal guards are divided into three parts, and Tian Changgeng is a leader in the agricultural institution.
Although there is a clear gap between Xue Rengui, who is talented and Zu Changming, a prominent family, he is serious and diligent, and is very resilient to his work.
Li Tai promoted him because Tian Changgeng was considered the orthodox representative of the Agricultural Institution and a genuine good family.
Therefore, some students from agricultural institutions will naturally gather around him, and are one of the benchmark figures in the agricultural institutions around Li Tai.
Of course, in the agricultural institution, Chen Kai, who is now the most famous person, is using his pen to hang out in Gaoling.
At this moment, everyone stood up when they saw Li Tai's arrival and said to Li Tai, "I have met the King of Yan."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Everyone is here. Since I returned to Chang'an, I have held a meeting with you for the first time. Baihe has posted today's topics."
Baihe nodded and took out a few pieces of white paper. The paper had already written today's topic:
"First, the arrangements for the conquest of Tuyuhun, the second is to integrate the entire system under the Yan Prince's Mansion, and the third is to increase support for Luoyang."
"First of all, I knew from Duke Dai that I, together with my personal soldiers, would have the right to mobilize troops and a medical battalion of 1,000, so my direct number of people was 3,000!"
Li Tai looked at everyone and said.
"Two thousand right to mobilize troops?" Ren Yaxiang, as a military man, was the most familiar with military affairs, said,
"Report to King Yan, even if you count your personal soldiers' reserves, there are only six hundred. Where do the remaining soldiers come from?"
"Duke Dai means that the group of students who have mastered the talents of the Agricultural Academy of Sciences who choose 1,500 people to go to the battlefield to try the sharp blade!" Li Tai also answered a little helplessly.
Because Li Tai knew that it was Li Shimin who actually gave this order, not Li Jing.
"Student?!" "Talent of the War Department?" Lu Cai and Ren Yaxiang both sighed in surprise.
Li Tai looked at Lu Cai's surprised expression and said, "First quality, although I also know that the students of the Agricultural University should not use it here, and they themselves do not practice their fighting skills like soldiers from military families, but this
There is nothing you can do about it, so you can choose 1,500 people!"
"No!" Lu Cai heard the helplessness in Li Tai's words and could only agree.
However, Lu Cai thought for a while and said, "Why would I better be with me..." King Yan's expedition to Tuyuhun this time?
Li Tai reached out to stop what Lu Cai wanted to say, "But I also want you to follow you and be able to stabilize people's hearts.
But there is no doubt about the importance of Luoyang. I think you can build a new Luoyang Academy in Luoyang based on Luoyang port.
Of course, I will talk about this matter when I come back from Tuyuhun, but I can prepare for the preliminary preparations first.
After all, Luoyang is not a frontier, and the land available to us is limited, so you need to find a suitable place first."
"King Yan, in fact, this matter can be handed over to someone!" Du Chuke said calmly.
"Hmm?" Li Tai looked at Du Chuke with some surprise when he heard Du Chuke's words.
Du Chuke said confidently, "I have been in the position of Gaoling County Magistrate for three years. Every time I have been assessed, I am on the A-level position, so I should be promoted.
It may be a bit difficult to become the Chang'an Order, but it may not be impossible to compete as the Luoyang Order."
"If so, who are you going to give to Gao Ling?" Li Tai asked in confusion when he heard Du Chuke's words.
To be honest, if Du Chuke wants to be a Luoyang Order, few people can compete with him.
However, this has nothing to do with his assessment of the first year of Gaoling County Magistrate. At most, he is only qualified. The more important reason is that he is Du Ruhui's younger brother.
Du Ruhui built the canal, and Luoyang was the core. At the same time, although the Du family in Jingzhao is not as top as the five families and seven surnames, it is also a first-class family. If Du Chuke wants to take this fifth-rank official position, he still has a great chance of taking it.
"The county magistrate Han Yuan, the son of Han Zhongliang, the Minister of Justice, was proficient in official administration. He taught in the Agricultural Academy for two years and was a young talent!" Du Chuke explained to Li Tai.
"Since you think Chu Ke is suitable, you will recommend it!" Li Tai nodded, then looked at Lu Cai and said,
"Since Chu Ke has made such arrangements, I won't say anything, but are you sure you won't stay in Gaoling Academy?"
Lu Cai said: "The school has become stable. Even if someone changes to the principal, there will not be too many problems.
Maybe I will be the chief of Luoyang Academy in the future. Now that I can get out, it will be more convenient!
As for the principal of the institution, I think Mr. Sun Simiao is suitable."
"Mr. Sun..." Li Tai was a little stunned when he heard Lu Cai's recommendation, and looked at Liu Shenwei and said, "Mr. Sun is really willing to be the chief of this institution?"
"If it's just a name, Master shouldn't care!" Liu Shenwei said with a wry smile.
"The first draft of Master's "Qianjin Yaofang" has been completed, and the next step is to require a large number of manpower to conduct experiments and verifications.
If you can become the chief of the Agricultural Institution, I believe it will also bring considerable convenience to "Qianjin Yaofang".
"Since that's the case, I'll be relieved." Li Tai was relieved when he saw Sun Simiao staying here.
No matter what, with such a heavyweight figure in the agricultural institution, he is much more calm in handling things by himself.
"The next is the preparation of supplies!" Li Tai looked at Wang Xuance and said, "This war, the medical camp needs one person and two donkeys. As for my personal guard, one person and two horses. As for the temporary recruitment of peasants, give them the
Each person prepares a horse to place his personal supplies. Even if they can't become knights, I will make them horseback infantry!"
Li Tai said this to Wang Xuance, "Xuance, now urging Youzhou at an emergency report of 800 miles, can you prepare all these livestock before going to Tuyuhun and send them all to Gaoling?"
"I'm afraid it won't work!" Wang Xuance shook his head and said, "If you have canal shipping in Luoyang, you can arrive day and night.
There is only land between Chang'an and Luoyang, and livestock cannot travel within twelve hours, so they need to leave enough rest time.
Otherwise, whether it is sick or dragging will cause other problems, at least don't expect them to continue traveling to the battlefield for a long distance.
Even if you were notified urgently that you wanted to send livestock on a large scale, at least one and a half months.”
"I've given me a little less time!" Li Tai sighed. If he could give me one more month, he would be able to dispatch enough horses from Youzhou to Chang'an.
At this time, the peacock spoke, "King Yan, you asked me to prepare medical supplies before, and I have prepared the donkey.
As for the lack of horses, if they can be dispatched from Youzhou, I suggest you find someone to help you, maybe he can help you solve this problem."
"Who?" Li Tai asked the peacock when he heard the words of the peacock.
"Zhang Wansui, the Minister of Taipu Temple!" said Peacock, "You have a horse in your hand, but because time is urgent, you can't get there in Youzhou. You can say hello to Zhang Wansui, and use Taipu Temple first.
Horses are in emergency!"
"This is a way of thinking!" Li Tai nodded and said to Peacock, "Your idea is very good."
Peacock smiled when he heard Li Tai's praise, and was obviously very happy with Li Tai's attitude.
"I will go to Zhang Wansui in person. In addition, the armor of my soldiers is allocated to the National Guild, but we need to refine the weapons ourselves. In one month, the weapons of two thousand warriors should be able to be driven out!
”
Peacock assured Li Tai with confidence, "The court needs to issue certificates for weapon refining, and we just need to start refining.
With the help of the old immortal Sun, the coal combustion skills have become more and more stable, and the temperature that can be burned is getting higher and higher. One month is more than enough.”
With the use of transparent containers such as ice in winter, Sun Simiao's pursuit of transparent containers is becoming more and more urgent, because many studies have fallen into stagnation because there is no transparent container.
As for the idea of transparent glass proposed by Li Tai, Sun Simiao also began to try this direction.
Because this thing was technical in ancient times, Wang Chong's "Lunheng" mentioned a transparent object called Yangshu, which is that it can gather light into fire, which is suspected to be transparent glass.
But the entire Wang Chong family didn't know where they went. Maybe they died in the plague at the end of the Han Dynasty, maybe they were not in the war of the Five Barbarians invading China. In short, there was really no news about this Wang family, and naturally Li Tai was in his hands.
There is nothing physical.
But it is undeniable that as long as the argument for this thing is found in the book and proves that this thing is not Li Tai’s nonsense, then both Sun Simiao and Li Tai’s craftsmen are willing to overcome this problem.
After all, China's scientific and technological development often relies on archaeology, and even modern times, such surprises often occur.
For example, in the era of planned economy, many scientific research projects that were cut off now. Now that I have money, I will pick them up. I will find that many research projects can still barely keep up with the times. I really don’t know how the predecessors developed them.
.
Because Li Tai has mastered coal resources, Sun Simiao has enough courage to fight the flame stability or the flame temperature. Don’t say it, let’s first look at where the extreme temperature of coal combustion is.
The research on this kind of thing is the most inaccurate thing. Various experimental combustion aids, furnaces of various materials, and even coal itself, can be used to burn coal and slowly develop towards coking coal.
Of course, it is just a development direction, but with this direction, it is not considered useless work.
Therefore, in order to study more transparent glazing, the efficiency of coal combustion was accidentally improved.
However, Li Tai also asked Sun Simiao to study how to determine the temperature and accurately mark every degree of rise or fall, instead of relying on craftsmen to work based on vague experience.
For the weight and measure of temperature, Li Tai directly takes the temperature at which the ice melts into water at zero degrees as the standard. The above is positive and the following is negative.
This is a good distinction, but the real difficulty is why each degree is this degree. It requires Sun Simiao to find a way to study it. Anyway, Li Tai is really helpless.
Sun Simiao also knew Li Tai's personality and accepted this task, but the progress was very slow.
In fact, it is not only Sun Simiao who is studying, but also the entire agricultural institution is solving this problem.
Because if the temperature can be accurately positioned, the greatest significance of agricultural production will be.
But now at most, water is used as a reference standard, because water is the most common substance that achieves three forms of transformation under normal temperature. However, if you want to study the specific scale of the temperature, or even a thermometer, you can only say that
keep it up.
However, although the past three years of research have not successfully studied the standard of temperature, which can be accurate to the degree, at least the by-products brought by these studies.
Such as standardization of coal products, the ability to control flame temperature, and the continuous maturity of iron craftsmanship have made great breakthroughs.
Li Tai felt that even if it was blast furnace steelmaking, it was not impossible, but Li Tai thought about it and waited for the coal burning skills to improve before talking about it.
After all, even transparent glass can't be burned out. Isn't it a bit too ambitious to expect it to make steel now?
To be honest, Li Tai is really not familiar with this aspect, but he feels that steel is the fundamental skill of the country, and it is still higher than the skill of making transparent glass.
So Li Tai climbed with difficulties and first solved the problem of transparent glass.
