    As a king of a country, few are fools. On the contrary, they are much smarter than ordinary people, and they can see things in a far longer term than ordinary people. He can see this from Qin Xuan, and he also believes that Qin Xuan is not a genius.  , and also knows that these are the knowledge he has learned. What kind of education can teach him such a versatile talent? This is definitely not a talent that can be cultivated by just relying on classics and history.

    The education of the Tang Dynasty focused on the classics and history, but did not include aspects such as farmland water conservancy, manufacturing and smelting. All of these were passed down through family inheritance or master-apprenticeship. Once the person who mastered a technology died unexpectedly, then this  Technology may be lost. It is difficult to pass on all these technologies, let alone carry them forward. These are problems that limit the development of a country.

    "The emperor is right. There is only one Qin Jingyuan, but in some aspects, he can surpass 110,000 craftsmen. If the Tang Dynasty wants to develop and prosper, it must have thousands of talents like Qin Jingyuan.  , Medical University is a good example. Children of craftsmen and businessmen cannot take scientific examinations, but they can learn these technologies. The imperial court created such an institution and asked the master craftsmen to teach these students their skills. Remember what Qin Xuan said  "?" Li Longji asked.

    "Father, what did he say?" Princess Xianyi asked?

    "I remember I had a conversation with him before he opened a medical university and asked him why he had to keep such medical skills secret but wanted to spread them to so many people. Do you know what he said? He said something:  Only competition can lead to development," Li Longji said with a smile.

    ¡°Only through competition can development occur?¡± Xian Yi asked doubtfully.

    "Yes, it's a very simple reason. For the same tailor, if he is the only one who can cut a certain kind of clothes, then he will not think about developing new styles. If another person also learns it, then this tailor will think about it.  As new varieties are developed, this is the result of competition. It is the same in all industries, so only by asking more people to learn more technologies can these technologies develop and become more advanced," Li Longji said.

    Li Longji's thinking has indeed changed a lot. In fact, it is all because of the emergence of gunpowder, muskets, and artillery. The emergence of these firearms made him see the gap between swords and muskets. This is the gap between children and adults. Datang  The most powerful troops are the targets of slaughter in the face of firearms, and these all come from Qin Xuan, so how powerful is his unknown hometown?  No one knows this except Qin Xuan.

    The Tang Dynasty seems to be a celestial country. Take the firearms designed by Qin Xuan as an example. Without his appearance, the strength of the Tang Dynasty is currently a powerful country. If compared with Qin Xuan's hometown, the Tang Dynasty is probably not as dependent as it is now.  A small nomadic tribe in the imperial court is probably about the same strength. People who don't have long-term concerns must have immediate worries. If they want to be strong, they can only cultivate talents.

    Craftsmen and businessmen are both lowly professions, and their descendants cannot even participate in the imperial examination. As Qin Xuan said, the weapons used by the Tang Dynasty to protect the family and the country were created by craftsmen, and the imperial court could support so many officials.  , this money comes exactly from the taxes of farmers and businessmen. From this point of view, those officials and scholars have no right to discriminate against them, because they give you food and clothing.

    Li Longji also understood this simple truth, but once he understood it, he did not necessarily have to change it. With the emergence of firearms, as the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that if these status quos were not changed, once other countries mastered this technology, then  The conservativeness of the technical talents of the Tang Dynasty will soon lag behind that of other countries. Moreover, ships have been found using firearms on the sea in Mingzhou. This has shown that firearms are not unique to the Tang Dynasty.

    Who are these people using firearms at sea?  It is not yet known that Qin Xuan said that he was not the only one who came out of his hometown. It was just that when the boat capsized and he was washed ashore by the waves, there was no one else around him, but it does not mean that these people were all dead, not to mention that Qin Xuan was  Xuan is not in the coastal waters of Datang, but on the side close to Dashi. Then it is possible that some of his fellow villagers were washed away by the waves to Dashi?

    Although this possibility is very small, Qin Xuan also said that others were killed, but no one can be seen alive or dead. If Dashi also has talents like Qin Xuan, then once the Tang Dynasty conflicts with them, how long can it survive? Li Longji doesn't want to  To be the king of a subjugated country, only changes can ensure the strength of the Tang Dynasty. This is an urgent matter.

    The problem Li Longji was considering was a countermeasure in the case of possible competition. Although this imaginary enemy did not exist at all, Qin Xuan secretly created a competitor for Datang. Taiwan was in the dark and was not suitable.  Exposed, but with the opening of the maritime ban, it cannot be concealed. However, it is impossible for outsiders to know Taiwan¡¯s true strength. All firearms are confidential and will not be used on the main island of Taiwan.

    At present, Taiwan¡¯s Tamsui River is under control, and Tamsui City does not allow any foreign ships to enter.In the future, all foreign trade merchant ships will be limited to the Trade City. Only a small number of troops are stationed in the Trade City, and outsiders will not be allowed to explore Taiwan's strength. Qin Xuan also considered that once Taiwan Trade City is known to many maritime merchants, the imperial court will not  Will you pay attention to Taiwan, because most of the countries near the Tang Dynasty are dependent on the Tang Dynasty, but it is currently impossible for Taiwan to do so. Except for some relatively large tribes or dynasties wandering around the Tang Dynasty, Taiwan must also do so.

    In terms of maritime power, the Tang Dynasty was relatively weak, and this weakness was also relative. The Tang Dynasty's navy was much stronger than that of Silla and Japan, but for Taiwan, the Tang Dynasty's navigation technology was still  There is a big difference. At present, local shipbuilding workshops in Taiwan have begun to produce five-masted sailing ships. The combination of wheel propellers and wind power will make them faster and more labor-saving.

    The current naval vessels of the Tang Dynasty still rely on oars to move forward. Although some chariots and boats have entered the navy, there is no further improvement and innovation. They are pretty good in rivers. Once they enter the sea, their capabilities are still limited. In this regard  Taiwan is not afraid of Datang's navy for the time being, but Li Longji has this idea to change some of Datang's policies and cultivate talents. It is hard to say whether he can catch up with Taiwan in the future.

    It is still difficult to say whether Li Longji's plan to cultivate talents can be implemented. As the king of a country, he does not just do whatever he wants. If there are too many ministers who oppose it, this plan will also die, and this is a long-term plan.  It will take several years or decades for the talent training project to see results, and since the status of craftsmen and businessmen is low, it is impossible for no one to oppose it.

    At this time, after Qin Xuan and Zhai Tanzhuan had eaten and drank, they continued to watch the candidates' assessment. He didn't know that one of his armors called Li Longji had made such an important decision, but this matter was not yet known to outsiders.  As he knew, and he was looking forward to seeing the strength of this Anqing sect, the two candidates they had together had been eliminated. During this period, another candidate recommended from the Longyou Army passed the assessment of the leveling and shooting department, and his score was higher than that of Zhai Tanzhuan.  Slightly worse, but not easy.

    The assessments in the horizontal shooting section are not the most exciting in the martial arts examinations. The most interesting ones are those in the martial arts examinations. If it were not for Anqingzong's strength, Qin Xuan might have found a place to sit in the warm March sunshine.  Let's take a nap. I got up too early today. The sun is shining and I feel a little sleepy.

    "Brother Zhengu, looking at this situation, we will have to finish the daily shooting test today. Let's find a place to drink in the afternoon. There is nothing to see here. Staying here is boring," Qin Xuan said.

    "Ah, we can't leave privately. After today's exam, we all have to go back to the military camp in the imperial city. We can't go home. It's the same as the scholars taking the scientific exam," Zhai Tanzhuan said.

    "What? What kind of rule is this? It's completely unnecessary," Qin Xuan said in surprise.

    "You still don't know this rule? In previous years, the examination was conducted in the imperial city. The candidates were not allowed to leave the imperial city and stayed in the military camp. The same was true for the scholars who took the scientific examination. They all had room and board during the examination days.  You are not allowed to go out in the examination room. Fortunately, this year the examination is outside the city, which is not as strict as in previous years. You can walk around here. As for drinking, you can only wait until the examination is over," Zhai Tanzhuan said with a smile.

    What is this? Scholars have strict management of scientific examinations because they are afraid that someone will cheat. During the several days of assessment, they will eat, drink, and have sex in the examination room. There is nothing you can do about cheating in this martial arts examination. They all rely on real talent and practical learning.  It's impossible. There are just a hundred or so people. Unlike the scholars, who have thousands of people for each exam. There are no photos of previous lives and other means to prevent substitute examinations. If the martial arts examination can be substituted, others can't  Will you sign up for the assessment yourself?

    "It's true. If you want to know this, ask your family to prepare more food and bring some wine. You can have a drink in the military camp at night. Otherwise, how will you spend this long night?" Qin Xuan said.

    "Haha, Jingyuan is such a sweet-tempered person. Drinking is not allowed in the military camp. Don't you know this? If you are caught by them, you will definitely be punished. Drinking is not something that I care about for a while. I am talking about daily assessments. Drinking can easily cause trouble and influence  In the assessment on the second day, I remember that the year before last, there was a candidate who drank in the military camp. As a result, he drank too much and caused trouble, so he was disqualified from the examination. The court was still very strict about this aspect."

    "What should we do when we sleep at night? Like soldiers? A group of people sleeping on a big kang?" Qin Xuan asked.

    "It's not a big kang, it's basically a tent for ten people. This is a military examination, and most of the candidates here are from the army. There are only a few like you and me. What? You are not used to this?" Zhai Tanzhan asked  .

    "This is a bit unaccustomed, but it's not a big problem and can be overcome. When I was studying in my hometown, several people lived in the same house, but the conditions were much better than in the military camp. I haven't been like this for many years, and I miss it a lot."  Qin Xuan said with a smile.
