He showed a very terrifying smile and leaned over to Li Er with a salivating face: "Uncle Emperor, can you discuss something with you?"

It was almost conditioned reflex, and Li Er didn't think about it: "What kind of demon moth you are going to make trouble again?"

Li Hao denied it: "No, absolutely not, Uncle Emperor, you misunderstood your nephew."

Li Er frowned slightly: "Then what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Li Er had no intention of throwing the handwarmer in his hand, Li Hao gradually let go of his heart and said with a smirk: "Uncle Emperor, my nephew wants to run a college..."

"What are you doing when you run a college?" Li Er said suspiciously.

"Cultivate talents, and I have already thought about the name of the academy, so I am called Datang Technical College, or the technical college for short."

Li Er: “…”

The car was really caught off guard, I was thrown away by the steering wheel.

You are also a technical school, why don’t you call a large technical school?

Take a deep breath and try not to think too much: "Tell me what you think."

"Oh." Li Hao sorted out his thoughts and rubbed his chin and said, "Uncle Emperor, my nephew thinks that there are some problems in our current education. All academies are teaching Confucianism and neglecting other aspects, which is not good.

To give the simplest example, if the Tang Dynasty is compared to a soldier, Confucianism is his strong body, then what is the sharp weapon in his hand and the strong armor on his body?"

"Hiss..." Li Er took a breath of air conditioning.

He is an enlightened monarch, good at listening to others' opinions.

Although the example Li Hao gave was simple, it was enough to alert him.

"What do you mean is that I value culture too much over military affairs?"

"No." Li Hao shook his head: "The little nephew means that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Confucian things only arm our minds, but cannot arm our bodies. Thousands of years ago, people used stones as weapons; now, people use swords as weapons. Why is this? Because technology is progressing, because people have discovered smelting technology.

Also thousands of years ago, people wore animal skins and slept in caves; but now, people wore silk and satin to slept in warm wooden or stone houses. Why is this? It is because of the advancement of technology.

Because of more advanced science and technology, we can melt more solid weapons and armor. Because of more advanced science and technology, we have an astronomical calendar; because of more advanced science and technology, we have a better living environment.

The purpose of the technical college that the emperor uncle and nephew mentioned is to cultivate more technical talents, who are either proficient in smelting, carving, or skillful in strange techniques.

But no matter what they are proficient in, they will eventually have the service of the Tang Dynasty, exert their abilities in various positions in society, create more wealth for the Tang Dynasty, and make the Tang Dynasty stronger."

Although I don’t know whether Li Hao’s philosophy is right or not, Li Er still feels unaware of it.

And there is the most direct example in front of him - Li Hao!

Li Er believed that even if he threw this kid into the most barbaric wild tribe alone, this kid could live a very comfortable life. The reason was that he had a mouth that could make the dead live.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, then can you tell me what your skills...the technical school is going to teach? Where are your students coming from? Where are the sirs coming from?"

"Teach everything, as long as you can think of it, you can teach you a lot of mentors and other things. I believe those who will be masters should like their identity and achievements all over the world. As for students..., there are so many poor people in the world, just find some. Technical colleges are different from ordinary colleges. Technical colleges train craftsmen rather than scholars. They don't cost much money to study, and they can make money after graduation, which is very cost-effective."

The reason why I thought about building a college was mainly because Li Hao had too many projects on hand during this period and was really short of manpower.

Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about the repair of Tai Chi Palace. If he has professional talents, he doesn’t have to design the pipeline laying plan for himself and throw it to the people below to do it.

Another thing is shipbuilding. A sea ship that can sail far away cannot be made by nailing two wooden boards together. Even if there is a keel, it involves many problems in force analysis. In the violent sea, ships will be subjected to countless external forces, so how to improve the strength of the hull is an indispensable link.

There is also smelting, because during this period, all major families in Chang'an have been preparing to lay the ground, and the demand for steel has increased greatly, and the price of pig iron on the market has soared by 30%.

The reason for the above is technical problems. If there are better smelting technology, the steel output of Datang would never be so low. If there are more shipwrecks who are skilled in shipbuilding and experienced, the construction of sea ships must be found in Silla.

...

...

After coming out of the palace, Li Hao had a handwritten letter from Li Er.

With this handwritten letter, the first place he went to was Wannian County. There was no way, who would let his family's fiefdom be in Wannian County.

"Uncle Li, why are you here?" After receiving the notice from his subordinates, the magistrate Wannian hurriedly came out of the yamen, smiling like a flower on his face.

Li Hao was not polite, and directly patted the order he had just asked for from Li Er to Wannian County: "It's nothing, I'll ask you to approve a piece of land."

Wannian County was unknown, so he opened the white paper folded together in his hand. The bright red seal on it scared him so much that he almost knelt down.

If I had known that this was a handwritten book by the emperor, I would not have dared to open it directly so hasty.

"What? Are you in trouble?" Li Hao frowned slightly when he saw that the Wannian County Magistrate was speechless for a while.

Wannian County shook her head quickly and bent her waist a little longer: "No, no, isn't it just a land? You can choose whatever Wannian County belongs to."

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with.

The big men in Chang'an City will be concerned about their identity. Even if they offend them, if things are not big, no one will do anything to a small county magistrate of Wannian County.

But it is hard to say that Li Hao is deeply favored by the emperor and does not care about his reputation. If he deals with it improperly and makes a few slander in front of the emperor, the county magistrate of Wannian County will be regarded as the end of the day.

So the magistrate of Wannian County was very careful to serve Li Hao, the young master, tea and snacks, and ordered people to get the map of Wannian County as quickly as possible and put it on the desk, waiting for him to come and pick up the land.

How could Li Hao not know Wannian County’s little thoughts? He didn’t take it seriously. He bit a piece of cake and stood in front of the map. After looking for a long time, he drew a circle near the Wei River: "Let’s just go here, come back and send someone to measure it."
