"Become the true ruler of the world!"
As soon as Li Er said this, there was a burst of discussion in the court.
Some ministers, such as Cheng Yaojin, had excitement in their eyes.
It was as if he had already seen the future glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Building roads is too frustrating for him now.
What he was thinking about was naturally conquering the world.
If he could expand his territory all over the world, that guy would be very motivated!
But naturally, some ministers frowned, worrying whether such an idea was too risky.
If there were many countries outside the Tang Dynasty.
That means that others may also come to beat you.
However.
The current situation is that no matter what the ministers think in their hearts.
Li Er had obviously made up his mind.
The whole person looks full of energy and feels much younger.
Originally, he thought that becoming the ruler of the Tang Dynasty would allow the retired emperor to feel relieved.
But now, he has higher expectations.
That is, to allow the Tang Dynasty to conquer a wider world.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Li Er's determined eyes and his heart was full of anticipation.
He knew that this decision would be a brand new beginning for the Tang Dynasty.
The future will start from the Tang Dynasty and dominate the world!
The atmosphere in the court was warm and exciting.
Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily and said with great pride:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!
Our Tang Dynasty should recruit talents widely and bring all the talents in the world into our grasp.
By then, the territory of our Tang Dynasty will not be just this small place anymore!"
Changsun Wuji also nodded and said:
“Duke Lu is absolutely right.
Your Majesty, I also believe that we should be open to recruiting talents from all walks of life, so that more people have the opportunity to serve the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed with approval and he nodded.
"What the Right Servant said is absolutely right!
I have decided to immediately issue an edict that anyone willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of their background, may serve the court."
This statement obviously had the intention of alluding to Zhuang Zhou.
To put it bluntly, as long as someone is willing to stay in the Tang Dynasty and offer advice, don't worry about his identity.
I have to say that the current Tang Dynasty is indeed extremely inclusive.
It can be said that it is the most prosperous and inclusive country in the world today.
This is also a symbol of the confidence and strength of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Zhuang Zhou felt quite relieved when he saw this.
He smiled slightly and continued:
"Your Majesty, in addition to recruiting talents, you should also focus on the development of science and technology.
Only with technological advancement can the Tang Dynasty become more powerful."
After hearing this, Li Er's eyes flashed with doubt and he asked:
"Zhuang Zhou, what exactly is the technology you're talking about?"
All right!
It just comes to mind.
In this era, the word "technology" is still a new word.
Zhuang Zhou explained:
"Your Majesty, technology is something that can change our lives.
For example, the rotary tiller and tractor I brought can help turn the soil and cultivate the crops more efficiently.
This is agricultural technology.
There is also the excavator driven by Duke Lu and the production of cement, which can be used to build roads.
This is industrial technology.
There are also the wood-cutting and pig-raising method, high-yield crop seeds, and salt-making methods, all of which can be called technology.
In addition, there is navigation technology. Many places outside the Tang Dynasty can only be reached by boat.
In addition, military technology can produce more powerful weapons and equipment, making the Tang Dynasty's army even more powerful and invincible.
To put it more bluntly, as long as we can invent some tools to make the Tang Dynasty stronger, these can be called technology.
Because if the Tang Dynasty wants to conquer the world, it must vigorously develop science and technology.
Only by strengthening the country through science and technology and developing it through science and technology can the Tang Dynasty truly become the common ruler of the world."
After listening to Zhuang Zhou's explanation, a bright light flashed in Li Er's eyes.
That’s what I told you!
This guy really has a lot of things in his mind.
Nodding, Li Er said in a deep voice:
"Zhuang Zhou, you are right!
The power of technology is indeed infinite.
If we can master more technology, Datang will prosper even more."
At this time, the ministers in the court also nodded in agreement.
They have lived their whole lives and have memorized the classics, history, and literature by heart.
But where have I heard of this?
Yu Zhining, the Minister of the Court, could not help but exclaim in admiration:
"Zhuang County Master's knowledge is truly vast!
I can actually think of so many things about technology.
Datang is lucky to have you!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said modestly:
"Master Yu, thank you for your praise. I am only doing my best to contribute to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Er was quite satisfied with what he saw and continued:
"Now that everyone recognizes the importance of technology, I will now announce a major decision."
After a pause, he said solemnly:
"I have decided to establish a special agency called the 'Science and Technology Academy' to research and develop various technologies.
I hope that in the near future, Tang Dynasty's technology will lead the world, allowing Tang Dynasty to become the true ruler of the world! "
The term "Institute of Science and Technology" was naturally told to me by Zhuang Zhou during their prior conversation.
Don’t think that there are no scientists in this era.
There are also people who are specifically responsible for the construction work.
There was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the court.
The ministers expressed their support. In their opinion, this decision would make the Tang Dynasty stronger and more glorious.
