The Great Tang: World Martial God

Tang Hao's eyes widened: "Why did the Fangxiang say this? A few days ago, the officials were confused and became crazy. Who in Chang'an doesn't know who doesn't? That's why he was able to compete with the country for renewal. His Majesty is generous and does not care about this matter. It is already the supreme grace, and now there is a clear and clear head, how can I do this faint thing?"

"This matter is absolutely necessary. Only your majesty can possess such a divine object as Xiyang. Once others have it, the opinion of the subordinates is to kill without mercy."

The attitude of General Zhen Guo suddenly turned a hundred and eighteen.

The four talked and laughed and entered the academy. Li Zhi looked around and said: "I haven't been to the academy for a long time. The changes are not small. Every time I come, new scenery appears. I can't imagine how magnificent the academy will be in ten years. ."

"At the beginning you drew a picture, and everyone thought it was a foolish dream. In only a few years, many things on the scroll have been displayed in front of you alive. Sure enough, there are all obstacles in the world."

Hearing what Emperor Li Zhi said, Tang Hao thought to himself, this is a good opportunity for a special report. There are prime ministers and ministers of finance. It is really impossible not to cry poor at this time.

"Your Majesty, what you see is only the superficial view. Did you know that there are also huge buildings that need to be constructed in this area. Look at the deep pit over there. It was excavated just to build the basement. A lot of research in the academy To be responsible to the country, a rigorous research environment is indispensable. Why did Li Dan dig pits under the Palace of Wu De? To put it bluntly, it is for safety and secrecy."

Tang Hao whispered: "For example, the people who study steel in the academy have developed a new method of steelmaking, but in order to keep it secret, the Weichen had to lock the files tightly and place the cabinets in the lost forest. Only when the academy's construction reached a certain level. Only after reaching a certain level can a new steelmaking furnace be built."

"Now that it can't be formed into a scale, it has a hundred harms but no benefit." The words of General Zhen Guo said, and Changsun Wuji's face suddenly changed drastically.

The root of the Changsun family is steel smelting. Now that I heard that the academy has a new method, how can I not be surprised? Li Zhi glanced at Tang Hao weirdly, Fang Xuanling was also smiling bitterly, and Changsun Wuji said directly: "General Tang makes a price, as long as Humble House can afford it, there must be nothing more."

Tang Hao waited for a while, seeing that the emperor was also waiting for him to make a price, he knew that the grace of the Changsun family was endless. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Changsun, you are right. The Changsun family really can't afford this thing."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and Fang Xuanling turned her head to look away, as if she was enjoying the scenery. Changsun Wuji said with a black face: "But I don't know how much General Tang's asking price is, so that my grandson family can't afford it?"

"Not much, twelve thousand will be enough."

"Tang Hao, don't choke in hiding, just say anything. I also want to know why the grandson family can't afford this money?"

It’s just a mere ten thousand consistent. This price immediately stunned Changsun Wuji. This is not a big outrageous figure. If, as General Zhen Guo said, this process has a great effect on steel production. That's too much.

"If the grandson family really wants this dossier, there is no problem. I will agree to the eight thousand kan, but please allow me to explain that this is the result of the research six months ago." General Zhen Guo replied according to the facts.

"So what? Isn't it possible that the method used six months ago cannot be used now?"

"It can be used naturally, there is no problem at all, but last month they developed a method that is even better than that. The Chinese Academy of Sciences asks for 30,000 guan, and one cannot be less." This is Tang Hao's. Real thoughts.

Fang Xuanling understood at once: "Old man understands, Tang Hao, what do you mean is that the academy will study these knowledge endlessly in the future. In the process of research, the process of smelting steel will be continuously improved. Every time there is an improvement, the grandson The family has to pay once, and each time is more expensive than each time."

In this way, the Changsun family really can't afford it, and Changsun Wuji's complexion is ashen. This is not wrong at all. Whether it is 8,000 or 30,000, the Changsun family does not take any effort.

However, once it is bought endlessly, no matter how rich Ren Changsun's family is, it will be emptied, and it won't work if they don't buy it. Once a more clever method falls into the hands of others, the iron smelting industry of the Changsun family will be destroyed.

In the face of such a technological advantage, the grandson family has no power to fight back. Could it be that the grandson family has been led by the academy for generations to go? The emperor once again felt his own brilliance and power, and agreed with Yuhua Mountain to establish the academy.

I was worried that the Changsun family’s control of the iron smelting industry did not seem to be a good thing, but now it seems like that. The royal court has iron smelting workshops. Once the Changsun family wants to do anything, they only need to invest more in these two iron smelting workshops. , Changing the craftsmanship will immediately eat the grandson’s family to death.

Li Zhi's thinking is diffuse. He immediately thought of other industries from iron smelting, cooking salt, weaving, weaving wool, imitating silk, raising cattle and sheep and farming. . . . As long as the imperial court increases its investment in the academy's research, it will strangle all the economic lifelines from the source.
