"What else?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and Li Tai again.

"I think the biggest difference between us is that our Tang Dynasty did not liberate productivity." Li Ke said.

"Performance?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"In a narrow sense, it is paper regeneration productivity, which means our human ability to create wealth." Li Ke said, "And there is a saying in the great man that almost all knowledgeable people know that science and technology are the primary productivity."

"I believe that you have a deep understanding of this. For example, the Han Dynasty can directly practice trains and railways in our Tang Dynasty, and then have the right to operate for fifty years. If our Tang Dynasty has such technology, then we do not need to rely on outsiders and can produce it ourselves. Then our Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are naturally in an equal position in the negotiation process."

"But now? When we were negotiating with the Han Dynasty, although the result seemed to be pretty good, in fact, it was because the Han Dynasty took the initiative to give us great benefits. Otherwise, even if the Han Dynasty had twice the harsh conditions, we would even directly say that the entire railway would not give the Tang Dynasty a penny, but only allowed us to use it, and gave us preferential prices to help us build other railways. I guess we would agree." Li Ke said seriously.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and he soon became silent. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. If Huo Gang's conditions were more harsh, he would actually agree.

"Science and technology come from scientists' research, but scientists need to be cultivated. Their knowledge and knowledge need to be cultivated. Society needs to give them relevant status to them to have this opportunity and time."

"If you don't say anything else, I believe my father should notice that in the past few years, all the craftsmen of weaving manufacturers in Jiangnan and other places have increased by at least two or three times. Similarly, these businesses have updated their technologies for textiles and weaving at least several times compared to before, and the update speed is much higher than their previous update speed."

"Is this because their technology suddenly made a breakthrough? Not because if they don't reduce costs and improve their own quality, they will starve to death. Dahan's cloth and silk are more efficient, less costly, and faster at the same time."

"If it weren't for the fact that the big men could not raise silkworms on a large scale and needed to transport the raw silk directly to the big men and then process and produce them, these merchants would have been squeezed out and closed down. In this case, they could only continue to increase their investment, and then use these craftsmen to improve their textile machines and looms and then continuously reduce their costs."

"Because they have increased their investment in this area, new technologies will be developed. Similarly, in order to prevent the craftsmen they have worked hard to be poached, they can only continuously improve the status of these craftsmen."

"And these are fundamentally driven by science and technology. Of course, market competition is a very important part. If there is no market competition, they probably will not continue to improve these technologies, improve the status of craftsmen and their treatment. Then craftsmen will naturally not study them carefully."

"But what really makes money here is science and technology, so science and technology are the primary productive forces in Dahan, which is what all craftsmen of technology share."

"And our Tang Dynasty is still too far away from this step." Li Ke sighed and said.

Li Shimin nodded. No one told him about these things before, he just vaguely grasped a little bit, but now that Li Ke said this, Li Shimin is already very clear. He already has a detailed concept of these things in his mind.

As an emperor, Li Shimin naturally saw a lot of things and cases, and there were only no one who explained this knowledge to summarize it before. When Li Ke said these things, Li Shimin confirmed what he knew in his mind and some of the situations he encountered, and he instantly understood this thing.

"Yes, our great men are so different in these aspects." Li Shimin said with a wry smile, but after he finished speaking, he directly turned his attention to Li Tai, his three sons, and Li Shimin wanted to hear their opinions.

Seeing Li Shimin's eyes coming, Li Tai said directly: "Father, I think the specific gap between these things is. Actually, you don't need to understand them, because after understanding them, I'm afraid you will be desperate. It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up in your lifetime."

Li Shimin was still looking forward to it, but Li Tai said that Li Shimin was almost angry to death by this bastard, "How are you talking?" Li Shimin said with his eyes wide open.

"Look at it, Father, you are angry again. We have to face the gap before we can catch up with the gap." Li Tai said with a smile, not caring about it at all.

Seeing Li Tai like this... Li Shimin suddenly became dissatisfied again. The main reason was that Li Tai's current way of saying this was more like a son talking to his father, so Li Shimin suddenly became dissatisfied. Anyway, it was the young man between them, father and son.

"Then tell me, how should I catch up with the gap?" Li Shimin looked at him and said.

"I don't think this is important. What's important is, Father, I want to stay in Chang'an for two years, serve you and your mother well, and then prepare to go out to build a mansion and establish a country of its own." Li Tai said seriously.

"I'll go, third brother, you don't talk about martial ethics." Li Ke next to him couldn't help but speak directly, "Didn't you agree to let me say it first? Why did you speak first?"

"Hehe, I'm thinking about what order we brothers have. I said it's not the same as you?" Li Tai smiled twice, then stretched out his hand and hugged Li Ke's shoulder and said, "Besides, you are my second brother, can you just let me do it?"

Li Shimin was stunned by the words of the two, but when he saw the communication between Li Tai and Li Ke, Li Shimin felt an indescribable relief and even a little touched, because he had never thought that there would be such a harmonious scene between his son, especially the relationship between Li Tai and Li Ke was very bad.

Now the two of them can actually speak with their arms around each other, and it can be imagined that they get along very well in daily life.

"Father, I also want to stay in Chang'an for two years, and then I will be ready to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him, but spoke directly to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already put forward this idea, so the two of them took the initiative to say it. Li Shimin was not surprised. When he heard them say this, Li Shimin immediately asked curiously: "Oh? Tell me, what do you think."

"Father, my third brother and I discussed it when we came back. You actually considered the things we just told you, but you have not implemented them now because many of the things in our Tang Dynasty have been fixed. If you want to execute these new things, you must fight against old forces, such as the aristocratic families."

"But these aristocratic families have too much impact on the Tang Dynasty. You cannot do it directly, because you can move your whole body with one move." Li Ke said.

When Li Ke heard what he said, Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a moment. It should be said that someone finally understood him, or that someone finally saw these things clearly, and it was his son. Li Shimin was of course very pleased, but what made him even more moved was that Li Chengqian and the others in the past obviously could not see this.

Or there are not many people who can see in the entire Tang Dynasty, but now Li Ke and the others can say these words casually, which means that they have not only seen it long ago, but probably discussed it long ago. This is a huge gap.

"But we are different. We go out and build a new country, which means that this country is like a blank piece of paper. We can start from scratch and implement any policy, as long as we have the Tang Dynasty as a strong backing behind us."

"In this case, maybe in more than ten or twenty years, we can in turn give blood transfusions to the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is craftsmen or other talents, they can be transfusions. Father, you can slowly organize it in the Tang Dynasty. The teacher said that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. The Tang Dynasty is too big and you need to adjust slowly. We need your support in the early stage, and we can support you in the later stage."

"And if we go out to establish a country, you will have some talents that are not very convenient to use and some things that are not very convenient to use, we can use them." Li Ke said seriously.

Li Shimin looked at the two sons blankly. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his emotions, because these words sounded simple, but there were too many contents in these words, so he dared not say anything else. Even some ministers in the court might not be able to see through it, but his two sons saw through it.

As their father, Li Shimin suddenly felt a sense of pride. Although they had never shown their abilities, just by saying these words, they knew that what they learned would not be too bad!

Li Shimin suddenly felt that his decision to send them to the Han Dynasty was extremely correct. At least no one in the Tang Dynasty could have taught such insights. What’s more important is that no one in the Tang Dynasty could make the relationship between the three brothers so good!

This is what Li Shimin wants to see most, and compared to other things, these are not important.
