Li Chengqian still respected these veterans very much.
But sometimes, these people's pedantry really made him feel uncomfortable and upset.
He even wished he could get rid of these people one by one and replace them with a new group of people who were more energetic and more receptive to new things.
But at the moment, he is not the emperor after all, and he does not have the power to replace anyone.
So at this moment, he could only argue with the other party based on reason.
But sometimes, it's weird to understand this thing.
It can easily convince someone, but it can also not easily convince someone.
For example, Zhang Liang at this moment is the one who cannot be persuaded.
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Zhang Liang said directly: "The Western Turks and the Angsa people have nothing to do with me, and I can't see them either."
"And I think, in my lifetime, I won't see the day when these people come here."
"So, I really can't agree with your opinion, His Royal Highness."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also felt a little speechless.
What does this mean? Question him?
At this moment, all the civil servants and generals around him looked at Zhang Liang with surprised expressions.
They were also a little confused as to what nonsense this guy was talking about.
You know, the meaning of his words is nothing else.
Just because you have never seen a fish, you don’t admit that there are fish in the world.
If you have never seen the Ansa people, you will not admit how powerful and terrifying the Ansa people are.
He did not experience the war between Angsa and the Western Turks, so he would not admit that many people died in that war.
As for his strange thoughts, not to mention Li Chengqian who felt speechless, even Li Shimin felt that something was wrong.
Li Shimin looked directly at Zhang Liang and said, "Gong Yun, what are you talking about?" "Reporting to your Majesty, I have no other intentions."
"I just feel that our people in the Tang Dynasty are already suffering enough."
"I really can no longer bear those earth-shattering changes."
"The character of His Highness the Crown Prince is obvious to everyone."
"As long as His Highness the Crown Prince makes any moves, our Datang City will inevitably fall into chaos for a period of time."
"Whether it's the original ten paths or the later academic system."
"Even the migration of people from the north to the south has put unparalleled pressure on the people."
Zhang Liang said directly to Li Shimin: "And this time, His Majesty the Crown Prince wants His Majesty to increase funding for the research and development of new firearms."
"But when we developed that percussion gun before, just one shot cost us a month's tax revenue for a state in the Tang Dynasty."
"If we continue like this, it will be fine if nothing happens, but what if there is a disaster?"
"The Tang Dynasty may use money to provide disaster relief, or may it use money to make the people worry-free?"
When hearing these words, the civil and military officials in the audience also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, what Zhang Liang said makes sense at first glance.
After all, developing firearms costs money, and it still costs money like water.
These things are obvious to all, and everyone has seen them.
As he said, if the Tang Dynasty had been at peace and had good weather, there would naturally be nothing wrong with it.
But what if there is a disaster in the country?
What should the Tang Dynasty do? What should the imperial court do?
Could it be that we want to ignore the people of the world?
At this moment, Li Shimin was also a little confused.
Hesitated.
He raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of ambiguity.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He now understands that if he doesn't get this piece of light taken care of today, he won't be able to carry out his plan.
"Gong Yun."
"Are you afraid you are still living in a dream?"
In fact, Li Chengqian also noticed that something was wrong.
Listening to Zhang Liang's words, it was clear that this guy was here for him.
Now that he knows this, there is no need for Li Chengqian to be polite to the other party. .??.
"Do you think the Tang Dynasty today is still the Tang Dynasty ten years ago?"
"Do you think that the current Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty that can be bullied by others?"
"Do you think that the current Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty where people can't even have enough to eat?"
He said directly to Zhang Liang: "I tell you, the Tang Dynasty is different now, and the Tang Dynasty now is not the Tang Dynasty ten years ago!"
"Today, our Tang Dynasty has the granary of the Northern Desert, the granary of the Northeast, and the granary of the Land of Abundance."
"And I can tell you the truth, the food reserves here are enough to feed the 40 million people of the Tang Dynasty for a full year."
"If you want to ask me how to transport it, etc., then I have to tell you that the Tang Dynasty today is no longer the same as before."
"In addition to land routes, we also have Yellow River waterways, Yangtze River waterways, Weishui waterways, Tongji Canal waterways, etc."
"In addition to this, we also have sea and land transportation. Even if we set off from Chang'an City today, we can reach Henan Road tomorrow."
"If this is the case, and you still tell me that you can't help the victims, are you trying to argue?"
His continuous When Zhu Pao was told, everyone in the audience suddenly realized.
Indeed, the current Datang Dynasty is indeed no longer the same Datang Dynasty as before.
Under the leadership of Li Chengqian, Datang's technology has also been fundamentally improved.
Both the means of transportation and the traffic conditions have become very convenient.
As long as they want, they can now take a boat directly to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a walk, and they can make a round trip within three days.
And thinking about this, some people can't help but feel a little ashamed.
It seems that if you think about it carefully, sometimes they really are like Li Chengqian said, as if they are living in a dream.
In fact, we cannot blame them, after all, they have always lived in a backward era with underdeveloped technology.
So much so that after new things entered their field of vision, they were not yet able to accept the changes brought to them by the times, whether in mind or body.
At this moment, Li Shimin also reacted.
He nodded and said: "That's what Qian'er said. Today's Tang Dynasty really needs money and food. Even if it encounters natural and man-made disasters, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be solved."
"Yes, Father."
"The people of the world no longer need our court to worry too much."
"They can cultivate the land and have enough food and clothing just by relying on their own abilities."
"And this is also the dividend that the times have brought us, so we don't have to worry about anything else."
Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "If we don't seize the opportunity and take advantage of this opportunity to seize the military, then everything we have today will be a castle in the air, and sooner or later it will collapse."
"So I beg my father to give me a gun for the army of the Tang Dynasty, a gun that can protect our country from being invaded by foreign enemies!"
