669 Why
After the alchemist incident, one can clearly understand something. No matter how powerful a wise ruler faces the problem of self-protection, he will not hesitate to choose to protect his own interests rather than the interests of the dynasty. Only when the interests of the emperor are consistent with the interests of the dynasty will the emperor choose the interests of the dynasty.
For example, the previous prince went to the county to weaken the power of the prince and at the same time, it could also make the dynasty last for a long time, so Li Shimin agreed. If it was contrary to his interests, he would definitely not agree.
Rebellion, it is indeed necessary to rebel. Yunyao said that if he had not traveled to the Western Zhou Dynasty but came directly to the Tang Dynasty, he might not have been so kind and filial to his father, and he would have been planning every day to pull Li Shimin off the throne.
But forget it now, my goal is free and there is no need to be unable to get along with the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor still has historical responsibility, and it is better not to follow this cause and effect. So after solving the alchemist incident, Yun Yao was still busy making money, the brand had been established, and the money was also made.
The results of this year are pretty good. Not only did I make money, I also started to write books. I will definitely increase my budget next year. I have to consider what else can be invented besides balloons and big ships, trains, cars, roads, and cement?
If it is just for making money, light industrial products are actually better, such as soap and perfume, which are more popular. But if we want to plan the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously more necessary to represent heavy industry products such as cement and steel.
But no matter what it is, coal must be burned, so coal processing is also very important.
Then first coal, then steel and cement. As for light industry, it can develop slightly while the heavy industry is developing, so there is no need to worry.
In fact, Yunyao thinks that the main task of the Industrial Upgrade Agency is to standardize various industries, help various departments provide advice, and promote everyone to accept new things through consultation and design. Instead of working on projects in person, it would be too tiring. However, Yunyao thinks beautifully, but if you intervene everywhere, all civil and military officials will not be happy, and no one will welcome Yunyao to intervene in their professional fields.
If they all had to consult the opinions of the Industrial Upgrade Department, it would be better to give all the work to the Industrial Upgrade Department. They would be Yunyao's subordinates, and they didn't even need to be an emperor. The Industrial Upgrade Department was directly upgraded to a cabinet, and Yunyao became a cabinet master and stepped into the Ming Dynasty in one step.
Because this is impossible, Yunyao can only upgrade a specific project and then make money for the treasury.
A year later, 100,000 guan became 300,000 guan, and Li Shimin was still very satisfied. If it were based on this ratio, one million guan would be three million guan, and I was still very excited to imagine that it was a skill of turning one penny into three penny.
However, it has evolved into a verbal battle for Yunyao, and the opposition is very firm. They believe that selling clothes for 300,000 yuan is nothing, and the princess is a rich man in Chang'an, which is naturally simple. But the problem is that there are only so many rich people in Chang'an, and the princess cannot make more money. Even if she promotes the brand of "Tang Dynasty Charm" to the Tang Dynasty, the money she earns is limited.
"There are only so many people who buy clothes. There are not many rich people who buy multiple sets of clothes a year, so this is not a long-term solution at all. So I think that I should not give any support to the Industrial Upgrade Agency. And I think that if Your Highness really makes money, he can make money by himself to upgrade the industry and there is no need to allocate money from the treasury."
When Li Shimin heard it made sense, if his daughter had the ability, she would not need to give her any extra money. She would not be included in the treasury for 300,000 yuan, so she would keep leaving money outside and then put it in the treasury.
When the ministers heard this, they nodded one after another, thinking it made sense. It was 300,000 yuan a year and 900,000 yuan next year. There was no need to continue investing money. Isn’t it better to let the Industrial Upgrade Agency play it? Anyway, the money is all from the treasury, so there is no need to continue to add budgets.
After Li Shimin went to court, he asked his daughter about her opinions and listened to her thoughts.
"That is to say, the money earned by the Industrial Upgrade Agency continues to be invested in industrial upgrading instead of re-appropriation?" Yun Yao thought to himself that they could think of it. Isn't this meant that the Industrial Upgrade Agency becomes a country and China? Besides, what industrial upgrading requires is cooperation from all aspects, such as building roads and bridges. If there is no cooperation from all aspects, how can we complete it?
They still regarded industrial upgrading as a matter of one person and a family, and did not realize that this was the future of the entire Tang Dynasty. "Although the idea is very good, it sounds like it gave me a lot of autonomy, it is actually a restriction on the further development of the Industrial Administration. The Industrial Administration will be responsible for the industrial upgrading of the Tang Dynasty in the future. How can it operate alone? So I don't agree with this method."
"Since that's the case, you have to convince the ministers." Li Shimin was also very bachelor and asked his daughter to talk to him.
It seems that Yun Yao is alone in a hurry to upgrade the Tang Dynasty. No one else is very anxious, and he should fight as much as he should. That's right, because the small countries around the Tang Dynasty are no longer threatening, and there are no foreign enemies in the Tang Dynasty that unite everyone. What else can you do without internal fighting now?
Everyone has their own small group. They originally used to divide the cake, but now they have to have an extra princess to share it, so they are definitely not happy. As for whether the princess can make the cake bigger, they have to wait until the princess really makes the cake bigger. Anyway, the 300,000 guan in Yunyao's hands are not enough to share it.
Yunyao was very anxious and hoped to upgrade the Tang Dynasty to a higher level, but for the invincible Tang Dynasty, they had no motivation to upgrade at all.
If the Qin Dynasty had not been bullied by the six Kanto countries, it would not have gritted its teeth to reform. If the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties had not been fighting wars in the north, immigrants would not have developed the south.
There is no motivation to upgrade. Yun Yao looked at it completely from the perspective of a time traveler and thought that the Tang Dynasty could be better. But the Tang people thought that the Tang Dynasty was already very good. Since it was already very good, why upgrade? Even if Yun Yao used small countries to compare the necessity of upgrading, it would be useless.
Recently, it seems that I always meet complacent guys, and Yunyao is helpless. Isn’t it good to get out of the historical cycle? Obviously they don’t think it is necessary, and the emperor may want the royal family to pass on for generations, but the ministers must have unconsciously found out that it is necessary to get out of the historical cycle.
Yun Yao is facing a problem now, that is, why did the Tang Dynasty upgrade? Although Li Shimin had motivation, his ministers had no motivation.
It’s like a child asking parents why they need to learn mathematics. Learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is enough in daily life, so why do they need to learn more advanced mathematics?
Since hot air balloons and steamboats are enough, why should we continue to upgrade? What is the significance? When it comes to war, the small countries around the Tang Dynasty have already been submissive, and fighting will be a military force. If we don’t fight, why should we upgrade?
Before, I was just a small fight. When I really wanted to upgrade, Yunyao had to answer this question. Why did I need to upgrade?
This question is difficult to answer, just like answering why you need to learn mathematics. I am afraid that few people can answer it. Even if a mathematician can tell the exquisiteness of mathematics, the person who asks the question still says, "It's not useful in life," and can still refuse to learn mathematics. Learning mathematics is really self-abuse, and the difficulty is the same as building a new world.
Some people may also say that you don’t need it. It’s not that mathematics is useless, but that people who study are useless. If you study hard, it may be useful in the future. This rebuttal that goes beyond the theory of mathematics uselessness itself and attacks the learner’s level may not be effective.
