Inside Xuanzheng Hall!

Li Er sat on the dragon chaise, looking at Xiao Zhengtai seriously, and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

The Tang Dynasty already had a supreme institution of learning, that is, the Imperial College. Although Xiao Zhengtai had not read somewhere for a few days and had an unpleasant experience, it was really unreasonable to have to blatantly compete with the Imperial College for the academy.

Especially in recent years, Imperial College has cultivated a large number of talents for the Tang Dynasty, and its prestige has reached its peak. There is really no need for Xiao Zhengtai to step on this.

Could it be that some people in the Imperial College have been troubled by looking for Xiao Zhengtai these days? But I think it is impossible. With Xiao Zhengtai's current methods and status, there is really no such eye-opening person in Chang'an City.

"Father, what do you think of the things that my son has created in the past few years?"

Xiao Zhengtai did not directly answer Li Er's question, but asked back.

"Everything is of great importance to the Tang Dynasty. My father really admires you in this regard. No one in the Tang Dynasty can match you in the whole Tang Dynasty."

Li Er was not stingy with his appreciation for his son, but do these things have anything to do with his problem?

"The father said it is right, but manpower is sometimes poor. With the power of a son, he really cannot meet the needs of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If we talk about academic issues, it is definitely enough to have an Imperial College in Chang'an, but when it comes to scientific and technological issues, no one in the Imperial College can answer it.

The original intention of Erchen to establish the college was not to teach these great principles of Zhihuzhe, but to recruit talents for the general supervisor and cultivate talents for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, this time the invention of the steam engine, although Erchen designed the drawings, how many people could understand it in the entire Tang Dynasty?

Once the research is successful, the development of the steam engine is necessary. As long as it is working, it will wear and tear and malfunction. At that time, if there is no professional to repair it, will it be thrown away?

The father has also seen the drawings of the artillery. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, are the soldiers waiting for their sons to go over and finish repairing them themselves and then fighting?

Now, the number is insufficient, and the son-in-law can be busy alone. If there are problems in other places in the future, wouldn’t the son-in-law be exhausted and would have to keep running around every day? Father, it is not a trivial matter to cultivate professional technical talents."

In order to convince Li Er, Xiao Zhengtai gave a few simplest and most practical examples, and he believed that Li Er would definitely understand his words.

The steam engine is just the beginning, and who can tell the future clearly? Since God has given him such an opportunity now, he will not miss it.

"Even if you are going to recruit talents in the supervisor, there is no need to start a college!"

Xiao Zhengtai's words make sense, but in Li Er's eyes, these so-called talents are just some craftsmen, so how can they use such a lot of trouble?

"Father, you still don't understand what the son minister means. If you were only in Chang'an, you wouldn't have made such a request. Is the development of the Tang Dynasty limited to Chang'an? Or is the father not planning to make other parts of the Tang Dynasty rich?

The things taught by the Imperial College are too limited, so that these students only know what is recorded in books, do not know how to adapt, and even dare not expand their thinking.

Such a talent is not what Erchen wants. Even if he is knowledgeable and has high academic knowledge, he still has no great achievements in Erchen's eyes."

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head firmly, and he laughed at the talents in the Imperial College. In addition to the children of high-ranking officials and noble families, they were children of wealthy families, which discouraged many poor students.

Li Er's face was gloomy and sunny. The information in Xiao Zhengtai's words was very large. The Imperial College and the Supreme School in the Tang Dynasty were so useless in his eyes, which made Li Er very uncomfortable.

Especially the things that Xiao Zhengtai developed were all secrets in the secrets, and he did not intend to publish them at all.

But now, judging from Xiao Zhengtai’s current appearance, he not only wanted to announce it, but he didn’t plan to teach it to the students in the Imperial College, which made Li Er very worried.

"Is the father worried that the manufacturing methods of those weapons will be leaked? If so, you don't have to. What I ask for is nothing to do with weapons. In short, I just want the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a skill and have the ability to support their families."

Looking at Li Er's serious expression, Xiao Zhengtai smiled indifferently. He understood what his father was worried about. It was not easy to conquer this country. It was even more difficult to protect this country and manage it well.

The current situation of the Tang Dynasty and its wealth can be said to be more prosperous than any previous dynasty. Even if the development progress is slower, Li Shimin is still the emperor of the ages.

If I had ruined this country because of my bold idea, I would probably have been out of place to cry in the end.

"My Father knows that you are active, because your existence has caused earth-shaking changes in the development of the Tang Dynasty. However, Mr. Father also wants to tell you one thing: hasteness is not fulfilled, and expectations are good, but they are afraid that they will eventually become good intentions and do bad things. Do you understand?"

With Xiao Zhengtai's guarantee, Li Er could no longer find a reason to refuse. He knew that after Xiao Zhengtai sat on the throne in the future, the development of the Tang Dynasty would definitely be much stronger than when he was in power.

But he was also afraid that Xiao Zhengtai would be so happy and be careless, which would cause irreparable losses, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"My son remembers the teachings of the father!"

What else can Xiao Zhengtai say? She can only give her respectful gift and then wait for Li Er's final choice.

"Since that's the case, then let go and the father believes in you."

Seeing that Xiao Zhengtai's emotions were not in any turmoil, Li Er nodded with satisfaction.

"My son, thank you for your father's success!"

Seeing that his father finally agreed, Xiao Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have to prepare some strong medicine.

"As for recruiting students, what are your plans?"

From beginning to end, he was afraid that what Xiao Zhengtai made would have conflicts with the supreme Imperial College in the Tang Dynasty. No matter which industry he was in, the students he recruited must be talented people, otherwise, there would be no value for cultivation at all.

"There are many poor students who have studied hard in the past. Erchen plans to start from here, which will definitely not affect the recruitment of students by the Imperial College. Moreover, Erchen trains talents, not young masters who live in poverty."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhengtai opened his mouth and came. When he was in the Imperial College, he had put forward such an idea, but he has not changed at all.
