Chapter 331 Science and technology are the primary productive forces


A month later, the king of Wu and his party were beheaded, and the palace of the king of Wu where the company was located and a group of slaves were all sent to the avant-garde outposts on the northern frontier to work as coolies all year round to prepare for the battle with the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yanyu, the king of Han, moved to Jiangning Mansion, and the Han Wangfu in Chizhou was converted by him into a professor's dormitory and student apartment at Lingnan University.

But this is Yan Yu's hard work, education is not prosperous, how to rejuvenate the country, not to mention that this Lingnan University has now become the only comprehensive full-time university in the Tang Empire, every year only the graduates of new science and science are more than 1,000 people, which is absolutely a very considerable number in ancient times seven or eight hundred years ago, these people either enter the manufacturing bureau, in accordance with the first five-year plan in the scientific strategic plan of the Tang Dynasty formulated by Yan Yu, carry out scientific research, or enter all kinds of private private capital, If these new gadgets designed and researched by private capital are adopted by the imperial court, they will also get excellent capital investment and opportunities for mass production.

Artillery is a major scientific research project planned by Yan Yu, and at present, under the leadership of Lingnan University, this work has achieved rapid results.

Although Yan Yu knows that in modern society, artillery in modern warfare is no longer a new thing, but once it returns to the society of nearly a thousand years ago, this is an artifact, a force that can turn things around and level the world, and it is definitely more deterrent than modern nuclear weapons.

There are many kinds of short-range guns, rapid-fire guns, anti-aircraft guns, parallel low-angle guns, and siege artillery, but the types of science that can be implicated in each of them are even more complex, which requires a large number of scientific and technological research talents to conduct research day and night.

Generally speaking, the income of students who enter the private manufacturing workshop will be slightly lower than that of the students who enter the palace manufacturing bureau, but there are too many means and methods for private capital to tap talents, and the salary is not high, but we have equity incentives, can the equity of the Li Tang Dynasty in the manufacturing bureau also give you a point.

Jiang Han's current position is higher, in addition to some false titles, his biggest title is the generalisal of the world's horse army, Yan Yu felt that this name was too earthy, not good, so he forced Li Yu to change him, changed to the commander-in-chief of the rapid mobility force, because now the weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles he imagined are far from being developed, so the horses are naturally the fastest, the most mobile and flexible combat arms, the Tang Empire has a standing horse army of 300,000, of course, there are some of them who are not strong in combat, Even where the indiscriminate filling is, so the first order that Yan Yu gave to Jiang Han, the commander-in-chief, was to transform the horse army, remove the corruption and retain the essence, and set up a horse army of 100,000 people, but what must be guaranteed is that the elite of the elite.

Bai Xiaofei, the commander-in-chief of the southeast bandits, was naturally handed over to others to do, and after Yanyu became the ruler of Jiangning, how could he, the only regent of the Tang Empire, be shabby by his own brother.

Therefore, Bai Xiaofei's many titles have one that is the most dazzling, that is, the commander-in-chief of the army.

The scale of the navy is too small, so it was temporarily handed over to Xiao Fei's subordinates to temporarily manage, but Yan Yu knew that this work could not be stopped, because, in his mind, it was very important to go to sea to fight and meet the enemy in the vast sea, he was the external expansion of the entire empire, and the sharp guarantee of national interests, in this regard, he naively planned the cruiser, some old people of this manufacturing bureau felt very unreliable, to say that there was a breakthrough in gunpowder technology, in addition to investing a lot of research and development energy, financial resources and talents, It should be getting better and better, and there are expectations, but the so-called cruiser similar to an aircraft carrier that he envisioned is completely beyond the reach of shipbuilding and navigation technology in this era, but now these two arms, including the air force, are still very unsound, and the former Farker-1 fighter and the Farker-2 fighter that has been developed but not put into mass production are his hopes, and this is the key technology that must be broken through to form a powerful air force and navy.

Therefore, in the face of these thorny problems, on the one hand, Yan Yu transformed the Palace Manufacturing Bureau into the Datang Science and Technology R&D Committee, and set up three professional institutions, the Army Mechanization Research Bureau, the Navy Ship Research and Manufacturing Bureau and the Air Force Equipment Strategic Technology Center.

Even employment.

At the same time, for the science and technology that these three research bureaus can research, they are naturally free to study, but what they study is naturally the core secret of the entire lobby, and it is also the core technology reserve of the entire Datang industrial industry.

Therefore, a large number of private capital into the field of scientific research can bring about the impetus of science and technology is immeasurable, some projects once the bidding is mass-produced, such as the Jiangnan Wu Ji Weapons Manufacturing Company developed a three-shot gun to obtain the imperial court 20,000 mass production orders, Wu Ji manufacturing industry therefore made a fortune, recruited more fields of scientific and technological talents, the increase in the number of employment, indicating the prosperity of the industry, but, what Yan Yu has to do is not a competition for weapons and equipment, Because that would collapse the financial strength and people's livelihood and social economy of the entire Tang Empire, all he had to do was to put the army first, then the people, and improve the scientific and technological level of the entire Tang Dynasty, at least from the perspective of his own well-informed descendants, which was far higher than other countries at that time and a lot ahead of the world.

He didn't mean to change the entire historical process, but now, history is right in front of him, and what he has done and done is worthy of the rectification of the era, at least not to say that the gods let him be reborn in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the respect of the descendants for the ancestors and the responsibility of the times also made him thorough, and decided to resolutely take up this task.

Now the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is naturally the Great Song Dynasty, and it is natural to know if the Great Song Dynasty has a traverser like him to stir up the situation, but the only thing that is clear now is that the comprehensive national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to that of the Tang Dynasty, of course, this is not the case in real history, but the greatest achievement achieved by Yan Yu and Yan Yu through various efforts.

Maybe the civil and military ministers above the court may not know this, or think that it should be so, but, these are not important, what Yan Yu has to do, one is to avoid this war, so as not to lose life, but this requires your strength, the support of your national strength, he still understands the truth that a weak country has no diplomacy, and moreover, these scientific and technological achievements are not just exclusive to Li Tang's family, many years later, when the comprehensive national strength of the entire Central Plains Dynasty is far higher than that of neighboring countries and overseas countries, this is the victory of the entire Central Plains Dynasty, It is the victory of the Han nationality and the many ethnic minorities surrounding the Han nationality.

In Yan Yu's eyes, as far as the Tang Dynasty is concerned, there is no pure-blooded Han people, the Han nationality has been a multi-ethnic integrated comprehensive nation since the Han Dynasty, and his tolerance includes all the historical and environmental and humanistic factors you can imagine.

Who can know that you were not of another ethnic group a few generations ago, and who can guarantee that your ancestors a few generations or more than ten generations ago have always been the so-called pure and unadulterated Han blood.

The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is not weak, especially at present, under the governance of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor who has made great efforts, the demand for the external expansion of the whole country is very high, and the combat effectiveness of the army is very strong.

In terms of the current comparison of the combat strength of the two countries, although they are equal, Yan Yu always feels that the Great Song Dynasty has some advantages.
