Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

The officials debated for a long time without reaching a conclusion, so they turned to Li Shimin to ask questions.

Li Shimin nodded, "This matter is naturally true, can I still talk nonsense?"

After receiving Li Shimin's affirmative answer, the civil and military officials went crazy.

In this way, isn't Datang lagging behind too much?

And they are still complacent, thinking that Datang is very powerful!

It puts a hot burn on their faces.

"Your Majesty, these planes and trains are so powerful, can we also buy some from Datang?"

"purchase?"

"How much would that cost? Can we afford it?"

Someone proposes, and naturally someone opposes it.

Although Datang is better than the surrounding countries and tribes, it is still very poor overall. It should be difficult to buy trains and flying chickens.

Hearing the argument, Li Shimin nodded.

"That's right, we at Datang can't afford it at all now, and even if we can afford it, those things can't come to Datang."

The officials looked at each other, "Your Majesty, why is this? Why don't you just buy it and fly over here?"

Li Shimin chuckled, "It's not as simple as what you said, the plane needs a route to fly, otherwise you will get lost."

"Trains also need tracks to run. We are separated from overseas countries by a vast ocean. If we want to transport these things back to Datang, it will consume a huge amount of manpower and financial resources."

"Our Datang simply can't afford it."

This is the truth of Li Shimin.

As of now, Datang's background is still very weak, and it can't afford such a large consumption.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the officials also had nothing to say.

Datang did not have the financial resources.

"How about that?"

"Such a baby, it's so uncomfortable to just watch others have it, but we don't have it?"

The key is that others have it, but Datang does not, so it seems inferior.

Manchu civil and military.

Some are pedantic, some are stubborn, but no one is stupid.

The benefits of airplanes and trains are enormous and can be seen by all.

First of all, travel is much more convenient, mainly to save time.

This is a normal function.

If it is unusual, it is when there is a war.

Ordinary soldiers have to walk for several months to get there.

People were exhausted along the way, and even when they reached their destination, they had to rest for a while to recover.

But if Datang has the kind of train that can take thousands of people, it will not only shorten the marching time, but also reduce the fatigue of the soldiers, and the problem of food and grass will also be solved.

The benefits are obvious.

Everyone can understand it, so they are very excited about trains and planes.

"It would be great if we could find a way to transport such a treasure back."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sneered when he saw the excited faces of the officials, "It's useless to think of a way. Such things are expensive to make, and they are also treasures to others. Maybe they will sell them to us?"

"Also, even if it's for sale, their language is different from ours, and they can't speak together. How can you get them to sell these things to us?"

Li Shimin's roundabout tactics, after going around for a long time, finally got to the topic.

When the civil and military officials heard the words, they fell silent immediately.

They are not stupid. When they heard Li Shimin say this, they understood his intention.

It's just that they were so fiercely opposed to this matter just now, and now they agree to it, which seems a bit embarrassing. Where should they put their embarrassment?

"Why, you don't want these treasures anymore?"

Seeing their silence, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Everyone was silent.

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, really, he wanted to save face.

"Since everyone doesn't want it anymore, let's not mention it."

Li Shimin stopped mentioning it, turned to look at Qin Yu, and asked, "Qin Yu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Qin Yu wants to develop Datang, and his state of mind is very different from before.

Once forced to be a salted fish, he has the ability but has no chance to display it, but now, he must do his best to make Datang stronger.

Therefore, when Li Shimin asked, he spoke directly.

"Actually, before learning the technology of the other party's planes and trains, what Datang should do first is to build roads."

"Build the road?"

Li Shimin was taken aback!
The officials did not expect that Li Shimin would value Qin Yu so much.

What's more, I didn't expect Qin Yu to be so rude and just say it.

Qin Yu nodded, "That's right, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Trains and planes can't be produced in a short while. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, we can definitely arrange a group of craftsmen to do research on trains and planes. "

"The rest of the energy needs to be spent on people's livelihood. Everyone knows that convenient transportation can save a lot of time. Grain transportation and marching will be much more convenient."

"In addition, road construction can also provide convenience and convenient transportation for caravans, which will make more merchants willing to transport items from outside and transport items from Datang out."

"The court can also build post stations along the way. When passing pedestrians stay overnight, they can charge a certain fee, which can also increase an income for the national treasury. Pedestrians and merchants will not worry about living in the official post stations. Encountered robbers or other problems caused property damage."

"It's also a matter of mutual benefit."

Qin Yu roughly talked about his own thoughts, and Li Shimin was excited after listening.

The other officials did not speak out, obviously thinking about the feasibility of Qin Yu's words.

"Okay, this method is good, tell me quickly, how to do it specifically?"

Qin Yu's proposal undoubtedly opened up a new way of thinking for Li Shimin, which made him extremely excited.

"It's actually simple, but this road, since it needs to be repaired, it must be repaired. The cement road can be used for more than ten or twenty years."

"cement?"

Hearing this term, Li Shimin was taken aback, "What kind of road is a cement road?"

"Explain it to His Majesty now, but I can't explain it clearly. I will bring someone to repair a section for you to see later."

Qin Yu has already figured it out, Datang is going to spread around, so transportation is very important.

Moreover, businessmen are also very important. Whether a country can develop economically depends largely on businessmen.

Hearing that Qin Yu said that he wanted to repair a section himself, Li Shimin naturally couldn't ask for it, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

We're done talking about building roads.

The topic returns to the question of whether to learn a foreign language or not.

It's just that the person who mentioned this issue this time is not Li Shimin, but officials.

"Your Majesty, after listening to Mr. Qin's words, I have figured it out. If you want to develop, you can't be complacent. Although Mr. Qin's concrete road sounds good, but in comparison, I still think trains and planes are more attractive. Some."

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees."

"I also think that trains and planes are good. Besides, even if Datang repairs the road, it is still inconvenient if there is no faster means of transportation."
