Chapter 624 Li Shimin agreed to their proposal to put the surveying and mapping department in the Ministry of War, and also knew that surveying and mapping is very important. If Qin Huaidao really took such a map, it would be very helpful for the front-line commanders to fight, which was completely different from their wars before.

In the past, when they were in war, they needed to observe the terrain themselves. Even when they arrived at a place, they needed to stop and send someone to the front to see the terrain, and they were worried that someone would set up an ambush at some point.

But now with such a map, it can greatly reduce such things. At the same time, you can also have a general understanding of the enemy's area, so that you can make a good strategy.

"Boping, the university is going to prepare for the exam again this year. Is it still recruiting 4,000 people this time?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's still 4,000 people, but I want to set a prerequisite, which is the special skills of arithmetic. That is, if you can understand arithmetic, you can take the arithmetic exam. As long as you pass, you can study arithmetic major.

This time, I want to recruit 500 people. Now I really need students majoring in arithmetic, because studying things also requires understanding arithmetic. Now the workshops in our Tang Dynasty also need such students. As our workshops continue to improve the process, it is not possible without professional talents!" Qin Huaidao said his thoughts to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian.

"My son agreed to do this. Boping had written a memorial before and asked for instructions. As the priest of the university, Mr. Monk agreed and continued to give instructions!" Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin looking over and immediately knew what Li Shimin meant, so he reported it.

"In addition, I want to open a scout class in the military academy, which is to let people in the army who are good at reconnaissance to teach. In this way, our officers also know how to investigate. At the same time, they also start to open a scout class to let scouts professionally cultivate their arithmetic and surveying abilities, and of course, their self-protection ability in combat!" Qin Huaidao said his thoughts.

"Well, it's good, but you still need to find such talents." Li Jing nodded when he heard this, and thought it was OK to Qin Huaidao's proposal.

Li Shimin knew even more about the importance of scouts and said, "Even with the tools for surveying and mapping, I think that the army needs special people to do this. Boping, you are a cavalry staff member in the military headquarters. If you think the army needs improvement, improve it!

My father still believes in your ability. Look, I made this thing silently. My father thought you were just hiding at home and playing!"

"How can I do it? I'm so busy!" Qin Huaidao said, touching his head with a smile.

"Well, can the telescope be produced more, right?" Li Jing looked at the telescope on the table and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, I will pass the technology to the Ministry of Works." Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Well, I'll count Boping's two contributions. I'll accumulate them here first. When the time comes, I'll reward you." Li Shimin said with a smile. These two contributions are not big or small. However, in Li Shimin's eyes, if you want to reward Qin Huaidao's contributions, they are titles, and they must be marquis or above, and those below marquis, Li Shimin is too lazy to reward them.

"This is not a big deal." Qin Huaidao said a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a big deal yet, so what do you think is a big deal? Don't you know the importance of a map, especially a map like this? In addition, this telescope can be said to bring great benefits to our front line. Such things can avoid being ambushed!" Li Jing looked at Qin Huaidao with a wry smile and said.

"Hehe, I know, but it's not that much credit." Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.

"Okay, my father won't be polite. By the way, the war in Tubo is being carried out very smoothly. Now the Tubo side is still resisting stubbornly. Since the war started, we have wiped out about 50,000 troops from Tubo. The main force of Tubo is not afraid to appear yet. I guess they are waiting for the opportunity to make a mistake!" Li Shimin sat there and looked at them and started talking.

"Yes, I have also discovered this. The main Tubo troops have not appeared. However, they are also sad this winter. They dare not continue to send small troops to attack the border. In previous years, people came to the border to grab our people's food every year, and this year there may not be any more!" Li Jing nodded and said.

"Tubo must be destroyed. I heard from Boping that there is still a large amount of land in the north of Tubo. These lands are larger than our entire Tang Dynasty. Such a large territory belongs to our Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin sat there and said with a smile.

"That's definitely something to be needed. The key is that now our Tang Dynasty also needs to find ways to increase the population. If the population is not enough, it will be useless. In addition, the crops are actually needed to increase research to see if we can find higher yields of grain.

In addition, in terms of medicine, population growth cannot be separated from medical progress. Otherwise, it is also a big problem to raise children. In fact, these require the court to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to study!" Qin Huaidao sat there and started speaking.

The other people looked at Qin Huaidao, and they had never heard such remarks before.

"Boping told me about this matter. For example, if Boping hadn't gotten the medicine for Li Qi, I thought, Li Qi would be troublesome. Li Qi was still young and normal, she could still have children. In other words, if she could have two more children, it would be a good thing for me, Datang. Is this example simple?" Li Shimin spoke to them.

"Well, that's right!" When they heard this, they were really the case.

"So, in fact, there are many things that the court has to do. My son said he was not an official and he was dedicated to teaching. This would cultivate more talents for the court and help me to prosper the Tang Dynasty. Father, you always let me become an official." Qin Huaidao smiled and looked at Li Shimin and said.

"That won't be true. Cultivating talents is cultivating talents, but you still have to be an official. If you don't, what should the Ministry of Works do? Now I have discovered that the affairs of the Ministry of Works are really not something that ordinary people can do!" Li Daliang started talking before Li Shimin could speak.

"That's right. I feel that the Ministry of Works will become more and more important in the future. There are many new products coming out on the workshop now, and they have also thought about many new tools. This is progress." Zhang Liang nodded and said, now he is no longer the Minister of Works, but he is very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

"Did you hear that? It's not that my father disagrees. Ask the ministers whether they agree?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile, and Qin Huaidao could only smile bitterly.

After lunch at Ganlu Hall, Qin Huaidao went to the newly built palace to see the workers' decoration. Now the exterior and interior walls are beginning to be renovated.

Qin Yidao and Qin Lidao, one learned to be a mason and the other learned to be a carpenter. The wages are now very high. They also learned to be serious and do things very meticulously. They are very popular on the construction site. In addition, they are Duke Hu's cousins, so the workers are even more afraid to provoke them.

"Brother!" Qin Huaidao saw Qin Yidao painting the wall and immediately shouted.

"Oh, Boping is here?" Qin Yidao immediately got off the handbag, covered in dirty clothes.

"Well, I got some snacks at home. You took them and ate them. Isn't it okay?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile.

"What's wrong with this? It costs 20 cents a day and is full. What's this?" Qin Yidao said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"That's good. I asked at home. The sweet potatoes in the ground are growing well. In addition, the potatoes and peppers are growing well. The peppers are already sold, and they are all collected by the Qin Mansion Restaurant!" Qin Huaidao said to Qin Yidao with a smile.

"I know, by the way, Boping, I want to heavier more peppers next year!" Qin Yidao said and lowered his voice?

"Hmm?" Qin Huaidao looked at Qin Yidao incomprehensible.

"Last time I went back, your sister-in-law said that I bought almost 2 guan of peppers from almost one acre of land. That's amazing. It's almost equivalent to planting 20 acres of land!" Qin Yidao continued to say to Qin Huaidao.

"So much?" Qin Huaidao also looked at him in surprise.

"Well, I'll go back in two days, and I'll tell your sister-in-law not to sell it and to keep some seeds. Do you think it's like?" Qin Yidao said to Qin Huaidao.

"It's done, of course it's done, but how about cotton planting?" Qin Huaidao asked as he looked at Qin Yidao.

"It's okay, it's similar to what you planted. Didn't you plant hundreds of acres there? These two acres here are pretty good! I went home and went to see it in detail last time." Qin Yidao nodded and said.

"My sister-in-law is really capable. It's not easy for a woman to do all the farming work at home!" Qin Huaidao said to Qin Yidao.

"That's right, your sister-in-law is happy every day now, and she is happy even if she is tired!" Qin Yidao said very happily.

Qin Yidao's wife is very happy now. Although her husband did not become an official, her family's income is very high.

In addition, no one dared to bully her. Even if he entered the city and went to the Qinfu Restaurant to sell peppers, the servants inside would respectfully call her the eldest lady when they saw her! Be kind, some officials respected him very much after they learned about his identity.

Therefore, Qin Yidao's wife always changes her clothes every time she goes to the city. Not to mention the beautiful clothes, she must be clean and tidy, saying that she cannot embarrass Boping and his brothers.
