Chapter 907

Unlike Qin Shi Huang and Han Han Wudi who were so relaxed!

Their era certainly had difficulties they faced.

But those difficulties, compared to Qin Mu now, were just a small witch meeting a big witch.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, this trip to the Great Qin, several collaborations were negotiated. You come and advise, see if there are any projects that can be emulated?"

Li Er gave the contracts for the three collaborations—collaborating on porcelain, building the Liaodong port, and transporting ten million prisoners—to Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's hands.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji looked through them carefully one by one.

Afterward, he picked up a Ru porcelain tea bowl brought back from the Great Qin.

While appreciating it, he praised it repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, this kind of porcelain truly opens a precedent for the ages; it is too beautiful, too perfect!"

Li Er naturally knew that this kind of porcelain was very perfect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to collaborate on porcelain. He even brought back many porcelain pieces from thousands of miles away.

"This kind of porcelain is much better than the Tang Tang Sancai. It's just that I don't know if our Great Tang craftsmen can imitate it?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji looked up at Li Er.

Guessing the holy heart, he probably wanted to use this collaboration with the Great Qin to get the porcelain-burning technology back.

"Your Majesty, completely imitating this kind of porcelain is probably very difficult. I don't know where to start at all?

In my opinion, we still need spies to coax this secret out of the Great Qin craftsmen's mouths."

Craftsmen are not as hard to deal with as court officials.

Li Er was somewhat tempted.

"However, this kind of technical secret has always been something craftsmen would rather die than reveal. I'm afraid it's not easy to coax the secret out!"

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji is best at such despicable means; after a little thought, he already had a plan.

"Your Majesty, no matter how much craftsmen keep secrets, they will eventually teach them to apprentices. As long as we have patience, choose clever and steady children, and take the opportunity to apprentice, we don't have to worry about not learning it."

Li Er nodded slowly, seemingly approving of this method.

But seeing his expression, it was still not relaxed; clearly, he did not fully approve of this means.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji understood Li Er; one look and he knew what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, we can also find ways to go to the Great Qin to buy books about craftsman technology."

This sentence suddenly awakened Li Er.

That's right!

The Great Qin side spent a lot of effort to make many craftsmen tell their lifelong technical secrets. And they compiled these technologies into books and published them publicly.

In the Great Qin, anyone who wants to learn technology can learn techniques they couldn't learn before through these books.

"This is a good method, worth a try!"

Li Er was somewhat excited.

Why didn't he think of such a good method before?

But thinking and thinking, he felt something was wrong.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, you say why the Great Qin spent so much effort to ask for these technical secrets and then chose to make them all public?"

This is the most puzzling part.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Er's excited appearance and felt that this time the Emperor went to the Great Qin and had some changes after returning.

He also started to value technology.

"Your Majesty, the Great Qin will not do meaningless things. I think making technology public can quickly cultivate a large number of craftsmen.

But at the same time, it will also be very easy for us to understand the Great Qin's technology."

Is it easy?

Li Er was not sure.

If the Great Tang could easily get the Great Qin's unique technology, that would be great.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji took out the contract for building the port in Liaodong again.

"Your Majesty, this contract also has a lot of articles to be made!"

As far as I know, the ports built by the Great Qin are also different from the Great Tang's. They are more conducive to large ships loading and unloading goods, goods entering and leaving the port faster, and the volume of goods is larger.

The Great Tang can also completely imitate the Great Qin's port design and planning."

This is also what Li Er didn't understand.

If the Great Qin didn't let the Great Tang build this port.

It wouldn't be so easy to learn the Great Qin's port.

In the world today, only the Great Qin's ports are the busiest, and the volume of goods entering and leaving every day is very large.

The Great Tang's ports would be blocked if there were slightly more goods.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, I still haven't figured out why the Great Qin side would give the Great Tang this learning opportunity?" Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's breathing stalled.

Yes, since the Great Qin has such advanced methods, why not keep them secret?

Finally, he discovered a sad fact.

"Your Majesty, the Great Tang has no business to do externally. The Japanese islands are blocked by the Great Qin, and Siam is occupied by the Great Qin.

Even if we learn the management of the Great Qin's port, the port built in the end can only be convenient for the Great Qin." Li Er thought about it, and it was true.

Unless the Great Tang develops ocean routes now, otherwise, the port will only welcome the Great Qin's ships. In the end, the Great Qin is still doing it for themselves.

Li Er angrily raised his palm, wanting to slap the table. But this slap couldn't be slapped down no matter what.

Who can he blame?

Now it seems that everything the Great Qin has done is so advanced.

So advanced that at the time, one couldn't realize the role it would play in the future.

The Great Tang didn't disdain to follow the Great Qin in the past, so they missed the opportunity.

Now, they are almost surrounded and controlled by the Great Qin; it's too late to regret.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, I and Fang Fang Xuanling discussed a plan to develop Yingzhou and Zhuyai. You look at the third contract again."

The third contract is the one for transporting ten million Tianzhu prisoners.

After the transport is completed, the Great Tang can get a million prisoners according to the agreement.

As soon as Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji saw it, he roughly understood the plan the Emperor mentioned for developing Yingzhou and Zhuyai.

Those are two large islands, almost isolated from the world.

Putting a million prisoners on two large islands for development is indeed very suitable.

"Your Majesty, on the two islands of Yingzhou and Zhuyai, there should be no less than a million indigenous people. If we can make these indigenous people work for us, we can have another helping hand!"

"Oh?"

Li Er hadn't thought of this.

Hearing Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji say this, he suddenly became interested.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, how do you think these indigenous people should be utilized?"

When Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was looking at the contract, what he was thinking about in his mind was how to get benefits from it?

Hearing this, he smiled slightly.

"Divide the areas and hand them over to the noble families!"
