Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 175

"I just heard you say that you don't have enough money?"

"I can understand that there are not enough people and things are not enough."

"Isn't your research funding open for use? The money is not enough, what's the matter?"

Li Cha broke the embarrassing situation by himself and asked directly.

"Brother, it's mainly our power system, oil pipeline system, and rail transportation system that require too much money. The money is never enough."

"The other thing is that Lao Wu is going to make a satellite, which is another huge sum of money. Isn't this what we were discussing before?"

Shi Wanfu said.

"I asked you to do it, how far have you done it?"

Li Cha asked again.

"Brother, the technology is all mature. The internal combustion engine and electric power system have been established. There is no problem with thermal weapons. There is no problem with anything. Once the preliminary work is done, it can be directly produced."

The boss He Ganting replied.

"That is to say, you haven't done anything in the past six months? I gave you unlimited funds, unlimited manpower, and material resources. Is that how you explained to me?"

"Are you out of your mind? I asked you to produce warships, but you want to launch satellites? Spread the power system and oil pipelines all over Datang? Can that be done in a short time?"

Li Cha was anxious and angry.

Originally, he had time to wait, but now, since that conclusion came to his mind, he became very irritable.

"Brother, we know that these things cannot be completed in a short time, so we started to save money from other places. Besides, if you want to build a ship, we can build it for you. But what's the use of building it? We No oil. Nothing can be done."

He Ganting began to complain.

"I asked you to build ships and weapons. Why are you involved with oil again?"

Li Cha asked irritably.

"Brother, you can't rush anything. Oil is the lifeblood of the entire industry. We can make whatever you want at any time, and then what?"

"Without oil, how do we propel the large warships we built? Without oil pipelines, how do we transport oil?"

"Internal combustion engines need oil. The current electric system is not enough. All lathes are driven by internal combustion engines. We simply don't have enough oil."

"Also, whether it is a battleship or a weapon, it needs a lot of steel, right? How much can we pull with a horse-drawn cart? So we need to build a transportation system first."

"When we get all these preconditions in place, no matter what we produce, it will be very fast."

"In the final analysis, we are short of oil, short of money, and short of people."

He Ganting argued hard.

But these words.Li Shimin couldn't understand a word.He understood that a lot of money was needed.Now he has a headache too.

These five old men have used up all the money in the academy in the past six months, and they have also used up less than half of the money in his treasury.He finally knew what Richard said at the beginning would cost a lot of money.

The only good thing is that in the past six months, many people in Datang have become rich.Because the money was spent on infrastructure.The common people have wages to take.

"Daqing, isn't there oil in Shandong?"

Li Cha asked irritably.

"My big brother, do you understand? Although our oil from Datang can be used, it is too troublesome to refine it. According to the current standard, it is not up to standard. As for oil, we still need the oil from the Middle East. .Our own oil is useless for many sophisticated machines.”

Zhong Shihua said.

"Then what have you done in the past six months, you have spent all the money in the academy!"

Li Cha was very suspicious of what they had done.

"Infrastructure, coal mining and iron smelting. There is also the exploration of various available minerals."

"But what to do in the future, you must use a lot of steel. Other copper, aluminum, nickel and so on must be used."

"Now, wherever iron ore can be dug out, we send students to build iron smelting plants."

"Then make the rails on site, build the trains. Build the internal combustion engine, build the cars. And when it's almost there, we're going to lay the rails."

"And my student, Qin Huaiyu, has gone to Liaodong and started to build a shipyard. We can't build ships in Chang'an City."

"Old Wu's satellite has overcome all the problems, and it can be manufactured when there are qualified materials."

"Old Jia is also starting to prepare for the rocket."

"Brother, we are not doing nothing, we are doing everything, but things have to be done step by step. If you just want a few hundred post-modern lethal weapons, we can produce them all for you in half a month. come out."

"If you want a large amount, it will be difficult."

He Ganting clattered and explained to Li Cha.

"Have you done so much now?"

"Satellites, rockets, have you all worked out?"

Li Cha said in surprise.

He played in the Western Regions and Longhu Mountain for two or three months. These five old academicians have already done so much?He lost his temper at them just now?
"Hey, brother, you don't understand this. What is the difference between now and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China? They are all poor and white. The only thing is that the roads and railways are more convenient."

"But don't forget, what we have in our stomachs is more material than those heroes in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Our technology is much more mature than that at that time. How could we not be able to do what they can do?"

Since Li Shimin was still at the scene, the five elders spoke speciously. Li Shimin couldn't understand, but Li Cha could.

These five old academicians are from the 21s of the 60st century, and the technology is not much more advanced than that of the 50s when New China was founded.

At that time, we were poor and had nothing. Under the leadership of that great man, satellites, rockets, and atomic bombs were all developed.

"I see, I don't understand the situation, and I'm a little impatient. I want to continue to develop according to your plan, and it will take five years at most. You can create everything I want for me."

Li Cha said firmly, now he knows that it is useless to be anxious, and in five to ten years, the world should not change drastically.

"Brother, the plan can't go on, we have no money."

He Qianting said with a wry smile.

"How come there is no money?"

Li Cha's eyes have already turned to Li Shimin.

"Third brother, don't look at me. I didn't pay their research funds according to your request. But now the second brother can do it. The treasury except the military expenses and the expenses that must be set aside to support the people are all used up by them. .”

"These five elders are too good at spending money. I was going to tell you about this, but before I had time, I was dragged into the academy by you."

Li Shimin spread his hands and said helplessly.

"You are short of money, people, and oil, right?"

"Okay, you don't need to worry about it, just do your business with peace of mind. I will leave the rest to me."

"Gold and silver are available on the Korean peninsula and Japan. Oil is available in the Middle East, let alone people. I'll get it for you."

Li Cha gave his decision directly.

"Second brother, get ready. I want to fight Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Dongying. We don't have enough money in the Tang Dynasty, so I will go and grab it. When the Western Regions are stable, I will fight Dashi and the Arab Empire." .”

Li Cha looked into Li Shimin's eyes and said.

"Haha, third brother, I have nothing to worry about with you leading the army. Don't worry. I don't need that little military expenses now."

Li Shimin laughed loudly. As a war madman, if Li Cha hadn't suppressed his restless heart, with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, he would have cleaned up the surrounding countries long ago.

As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven.

All the tricks of that mysterious ancestor in Guigu are of no use to Li Cha.

In the end, it was unintentional, and Li Cha had a random guess in his mind and the words of the five elders of the second name.

Push Li Cha completely to the battlefield.Started the road to looting.
