Chapter 123 The True Value of Making Glass

The melting point of iron is fifteen hundred degrees.

The melting point of glass is 750 degrees.

Say it's a coincidence?

Do you believe it?
The corners of Li Zhi's mouth were bent, and he said with a faint smile: "Father, if you mean the blower and charcoal, then you should ask the general in charge. They should know better than my son."

"Stop pretending to be confused with me! It's your intention to serve as a prisoner!"

Li Shimin broke Li Zhi's mind with one word, and asked with a sullen face: "Tell me the truth, how many cards you have that have not been exposed, so that I can know in my heart."

There are suspicious points everywhere in Li Zhi, and it is impossible for Li Shimin not to observe them.

It's just that as a father, he doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.

But now that Li Zhi has thrown such a big bomb, how can he turn a blind eye to it?
That is the technology for large-scale melting of steel!
It was so easily broken through by Li Zhi.

If there are a few more technologies like this, Datang's overall strength will take a big step forward!

You know, if these technologies were born in advance, it would be all thanks to him, Li Shimin.

Although it is a bit despicable to say so, it is not easy for a father to take credit for his son.

But how could such a thing be endured?
This is a good name that has been passed down through the ages. Even as an emperor, he can't resist this temptation.

Li Zhi saw the subtle fanaticism in Li Shimin's eyes, and shook his head helplessly.

"Father! Technology doesn't mean that the higher the better, I can understand your thoughts, but I want to say...sometimes, technology is also the root cause of cholera, and you can't control it."

"I can't, so can you?" Li Shimin snorted, thinking that Li Zhi was making alarmist remarks.

But Li Zhizhi said bluntly: "I can do it, that's great. In short...you'd better not waste your efforts. Even if I have means, I will only expose it when it should be exposed. On this point, Erchen does not intend to consider your opinion."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's eyes widened with anger, he propped up the table with both hands and made a motion to stand up.

It can be seen that he intends to let Li Zhi enjoy a complete childhood.

Seeing this movement, Li Zhi hurriedly took a step forward, pressed Li Shimin's shoulder and pushed him back.

"Father, please calm down and don't be like your son. You are too old to be worthy."

"I!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he even changed his self-identification. Veins popped up on his forehead as he struggled with him.

However, this guy Li Zhi is a cheater, his body is stronger than a cow, he is not an opponent at all.

Seeing that Li Shimin was really going to get angry, Li Zhi jumped away with a playful smile, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"What my son said is true. I am not joking with you, Emperor Father. If you take too big a step all at once, it can really easily cause turmoil in the country. It's not that my son is reluctant to give up the credit to you, but he has difficulties in his heart. You really can’t mess around.”

Li Shimin originally wanted to use force, but when he heard what he said in a decent manner, he couldn't help hesitating: "What you said is true?"

"More real than real gold!"

Li Zhi raised his hand, stretched out two fingers, and swore.

Innovation and Technology.

In essence, it is harming the interests of those old interest groups in related scientific and technological fields.

The imperial court itself is fighting against the gentry, and if it stimulates new interest groups at this time, it may collapse in an instant?
Think carefully about the two new technologies exposed by Li Zhi.

Whether it's coal or blowers, does it harm the interests of the gentry?
absolutely not!

Coal is a natural resource with inherent mining barriers.

Even if more uses are discovered, they will only be used in workshops run by the imperial court, and will not affect the interests of the people.

In other words, the charcoal business will not be affected, and the firewood business will not be affected too much either.

As for the blower.

That would only affect the private blacksmithing industry at best.

If the supervisor is willing to open up this technology, those blacksmiths will not be happy in time.

As for the fact that the imperial court wants to compete with blacksmiths for jobs?

It doesn't exist at all.

Li Zhi analyzed the pros and cons one by one and explained everything to Li Shimin in detail.

Li Shimin knitted his eyebrows while listening.

He already vaguely felt that it was a bit difficult to hear these words.

Li Zhi's vision is too far away, and even the private industry chain is considered.

After comprehensive consideration, we used this almost playful method to introduce brand-new technology to the supervisor.

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Li Shimin vaguely began to understand why he said he couldn't grasp it.

Too complicated!

To Li Shimin's ears, these things are like a heavenly book.

What balances the interests of all walks of life.

What tried to avoid the influence on the gentry and the influence on the people.

It's just a technology, does it really have such a big influence?

Li Shimin frowned and listened for a while, then asked: "Give me an example, so that I can have an intuitive feeling. I can't understand you just talking about these theories."

Hearing this request, Li Zhi thought for a while, and said, "It's like the academies we are opening. What kind of impact do you think the imperial court will have if they directly open academies in various regions?"

"The gentry will fight our royal family desperately!" Li Shimin came to a conclusion without even thinking about it.

Hearing this, Li Zhi shrugged and said: "Look, this is it. This is what I worry about. You only need to care about the reaction of the family, but I have to consider all aspects, including The influence of both inside and outside the Tang Dynasty."

"You lack systematic thinking, so it's hard to sort out these relationships."

"I have an adventure, and I know how to think about these issues. That's why I said that you can't grasp it, but I can."

"Elder Chen said that, can you understand?"

This is a bit arrogant to say, but it is also an irrefutable fact.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Li Zhi has the confidence to say this.

Li Zhi has almost digested most of the political accumulation of the entire world for thousands of years.

In his opinion, the political game of this era is at the level of a primary school student.

Due to the limitations of the times, this gap is inevitable.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, Li Shimin was driving a hundred horses and could not see Li Zhi's taillights.

Because Li Zhi drove a sports car, the things they drove were completely products of two eras.

That's how distance comes about.

Li Shimin was silent for a while and asked, "You want to say that I can't compare to you, right?"

Li Zhi admitted frankly: "Yes! You are not as good as your son, and the gap is not as big as usual."
