Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Government is a complex matter beyond most people's imagination. If economics is a discipline that studies how society distributes benefits, then political science is a discipline that studies how a government obtains legal power and how this legal power is distributed.

Although the new department proposed by Li Xin does not have any real power and only uses money to do research, it is foreseeable that some power issues will inevitably be involved after this department is officially put into operation in the future.

In Li Shimin's view, it is no easy task to set up a new department under the Ministry of Industry.

Such things as departments are like wallets, and money is the so-called "power". Whichever department has the most wallets, maybe one day it will get a little more when the money is distributed, and the other departments will definitely not agree so easily.

And what Li Xin proposed is to make this new department independent of the six departments and not under the control of the six departments. This can be said to be the seventh department other than the six departments in a sense. This makes people feel even more unacceptable. It is conceivable that once this statement is put forward, how many people will oppose it.

"Wei Chen knows that this matter is a bit difficult. However, Wei Chen believes that only in this way can the role of this department in Datang be maximized." Li Xin said seriously.

What scientific research needs most is funding and freedom.

When you give a scientist sufficient funds and allow him to conduct interesting research as he pleases, this is the happiest time for a scientist.

Except for Li Xin, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty dared to say that he knew what the future would look like, and what kind of things were most worth studying. Even Li Xin himself didn't know whether there were other possibilities in the future. . Under such a premise, no department of the imperial court is qualified to control the new department.

Putting it under any department is just turning it into a tool of political struggle, and thus turning the pearl into dust.

Li Shimin touched his chin silently.

For him, having a department that bypasses the sixth department is actually not a bad thing. It is still the metaphor of the wallet and money. Since the wallet does not belong to the six departments, it can only belong to the emperor. Although nominally speaking, this is a wallet that does not hold money, but in case one day needs to hold money, at least there is no need to make a new wallet, right?

"I can support you. However, those ministers in the court are not so easy to persuade." Li Shimin finally said.

Li Xin nodded, and said: "I know, but I still want to try."

In any case, the new department independent of the six departments must be the most conducive choice for its development. Li Xin's concept has always been this: at the beginning of any plan, it should be advanced and implemented towards the most perfect goal, so that maybe better results can be obtained. As the saying goes, those who seek the top will get the middle, those who seek the middle will get the bottom, and those who seek the bottom will get nothing.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "In a few days, I will present awards to Lu Daren and Situ Liang. At that time, you can raise this matter yourself. I will support you, but how to convince these ministers in the court? It depends on your ability."

Li Xin didn't have much confidence in making it, so he could only do his best.
