Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin had guessed for a long time, and when he heard what Li Xin said, he smiled and said, "You brat has also learned how to manipulate people's hearts."

Li Xin waved his hands with a wry smile, "It's just a rough method."

The reason why Situ Liang and Lu Daren did not express their special yearning for Chang'an was because they had not yet experienced the prosperity of this international capital. After they take Li Xin's money and experience the charm of Chang'an, they will naturally have many desires that they didn't have before under the baptism of material things.

The vast majority of human beings are easily reconciled creatures. In human terms, it is easy to ask the three words "why".

Why can he wear gold and silver? Why can he live in a big house? Why can he have the feasting and feasting of this city, but I can't?

Thousands of years ago, someone was driven by this emotion and asked a well-known saying: Do princes and generals have kindness?

Thousands of years later, driven by the same emotion, countless young people flocked to the super-first-tier cities on the eastern coast to work hard.

Everyone longs for a better life. As long as you let him see it, he will want it. If coupled with some level of recognition for his abilities, he will act.

Li Xin played such a trick.

"Your Majesty, I hope to give Situ Liang and Lu Daren a formal award during the court meeting, so that they can truly feel honored. Only in this way can we better inspire others to follow suit and give full play to their ingenuity, Great Tang Invent more useful utensils." Li said.

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and it was right.

The Zhenguan Award was created because everyone saw the power of Quyuanli when they were plowing in the spring. Therefore, the ministers did not have much opinion on this. If you want to present the awards publicly, you won't encounter too much resistance.

However, Li Xin's next proposal made Li Shimin a little unsure about paying attention.

Li Dao said, "Your Majesty, I have another idea."

"What?" Li Shimin asked.

"I propose to set up a new department to recruit these people with special talents. The imperial court provides official positions and funds to allow them to conduct research and invention, thereby encouraging them to continue to innovate." Li Dao said.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said, "Then should this department belong to the Ministry of Industry?"

"No." Li Xin shook his head and said, "This department must be independent from the Six Departments."

"Huh?" Li Shimin snorted lightly, expressing his confusion.

Li Xin said slowly: "Basically, this department does not participate in any real political power. The only thing it is responsible for is to do research. Invent better tools to benefit Datang, discover more natural laws and use them. If the Yellow River breaks its embankment or They can give more useful suggestions than officials from the Ministry of Industry on things like where to build dams, that’s all.”

"It would be inappropriate for such a department to belong to any of the six departments. Furthermore, what this department needs is to conduct research work without interference, and it is sufficient to be directly responsible to His Majesty. If there is a higher-level department in the middle, their research will inevitably be disturbed, and the original intention of Weichen's proposal to establish it will be lost."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and said: "But you have to know that it is not an easy task to bypass the six departments and set up a new department, even if it is just a non-real power department."
