Chapter 244
"Fusu, even if you do it, all departments of the DPRK and China must fully cooperate!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the treasury can provide 10 million dollars now as the construction cost of the research institute!"
Nesten smiled, and was the first to stand up and answer.
"Hey, this Lao Teng has never been very slammery, but today he actually took out 10 million yuan at once, didn't I hear it wrong?"
"I see the sun, and it didn't come out of the west?"
Li Si had a "surprised" expression and deliberately looked at Tiansedao.
In order to apply for hundreds of thousands of more legal popularization funds, he submitted several plans in a row, but they were all rejected by Nei Shi Teng, and he lost a lot of face.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, I naturally want to get back to the field.
"You don't understand this, Lao Teng is the most cooperative among all of us, and will be the Shaofu who cooperates the most, and the inventions of the Shaofu will bring Lao Teng a lot of income, he is putting a long line to catch big fish!"
"I understand, Lao Teng is worthy of being a good hand at calculation, anyway, the money has to be given, it is better to pretend to be generous, and when you want benefits in the future, you can be more reasonable!"
"Lao Teng is smart!"
Meng Yi and the others also laughed one after another.
Fusu couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Now the relationship between the courtiers is really interesting.
Shaking his head with a smile, Fusu continued to conceive the plan of the Great Qin Science Research Institute in his heart.
Since Yingzheng and the courtiers expressed their full support for Fusu's proposal, Fusu was ready to simply put it in place in one step and directly set up the Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Daqin Academy of Engineering.
Among them, the Academy of Sciences focuses on the study of scientific theories, such as the principles of mechanics, the study of arithmetic, and the compilation of astronomical calendars.
The Academy of Engineering is a solid engineering technology practice research unit, specializing in tackling specific projects.
For example, the construction plan of the Grand Canal project, the improvement of the petroleum distillation process, the specific application of hydraulic punching and so on.
According to the distribution of later generations, it is the difference between science and engineering.
It's not that Fusu doesn't pay attention to liberal arts, but for the current Daqin, science and engineering are in higher demand than liberal arts.
Of course, cultural and entertainment life can enrich the life content of the people of Daqin, and the law and the way of vertical and horizontal are also useful to the state, but after all, there are only those positions, although there is still an urgent shortage of manpower for the time being, and when the free official education begins to harvest, it will be the same as the imperial examination in later generations, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will compete for the quota of hundreds of middle schools that year.
At that time, only some of these people who fail in the imperial examination will change their careers to become official teachers or scholars, but more will continue to prepare for the imperial examination until they are old.
This is undoubtedly a great waste for Daqin.
As long as engineering and science are studied well, they can directly promote the development of business and industry, and the employment prospects are almost unlimited in theory.
For most poor students, studying science and engineering, after graduation, they can directly find a job and get income, which is much more real than the very low proportion of official opportunities in the scientific examination.
And as long as you can study and make achievements in your specific work, you can also enjoy the treatment of being an official when you enter the Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.
The purpose of Fusu was to correct the erroneous concept of only emphasizing liberal arts and ignoring science in later history, and to directly cultivate the atmosphere of advocating science and culture in Daqin.
Otherwise, even if Fusu invented many science and technology in advance in Daqin, there would be an embarrassing situation as in later history.
That is, the four great inventions appeared hundreds of thousands of years in advance of the Central Plains, but the compass was not used to explore new frontiers, but was used to measure feng shui;
After the advent of papermaking and printing, the most printed books were the Four Books and Five Classics and religious classics;
Gunpowder has always been used by the Central Plains to make fireworks, and was learned by Western thieves and turned into cannons to invade the Central Plains.
This is the evil consequence of focusing only on the liberal arts and ignoring the science and engineering.
The Renaissance was good, but in later history, it was the Industrial Revolution that really made the West surpass the East.
As a traverser, Fusu naturally will not forget this painful lesson.
The Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Daqin Academy of Engineering are the help used by Fusu to guide the development of science and engineering in Daqin.
And the conditions given by Fusu are also very attractive.
Why did the liberal arts stand out in the history of later generations, and gave birth to the famous saying "everything is inferior, only reading is high", isn't it because once you study literature, you can become an official?
Professors from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering can be granted official positions in the same way.
Before Gong Yi Yue became a general, the craftsmen of Daqin were deeply encouraged, and even the disciples of the Mo family, who had always been the most wrong with Gong Losers, gave up the useless propaganda of "love and non-attack", and re-studied the way of equipment in order to be promoted.
And now, among the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, there are hundreds of official positions, waiting for the craftsmen and science and engineering students of Daqin.
As long as the news comes out, the impact on Daqin will definitely be shocking.
Although it is a bit too utilitarian, as the prince of Great Qin, Fusu knows very well that fame and fortune have always been the best tool, as long as people can't escape it.
Why did Li Si and others completely support Fusu against their previous concepts, didn't they just hope to be recorded in history with Fusu, so that they could leave a name in history and be remembered through the ages?
In the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains, it is a surprise that there are two great talents in Mozi and Gongyi, but in Fusu's view, only these two craftsmen are actually a big pity.
There should have been more Mozi and everyone at the public loss class level.
Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have!
And now, Fusu is to be the Bole of the Daqin scientific community, and to discover more scientific research talents for Daqin.
In the process of many previous inventions and manufacturing, Fusu had learned that the craftsmen of Daqin were no worse than modern people, and what they lacked was only a theoretical guidance.
Typically, for example, the steel ball rollers required for the wheels of horse-drawn carriages, Fusu originally thought that it would be difficult, but it only took a few days to make them, which was faster than making a telescope.
According to Gongyiyue, in the past, both Gongchuan and Mozi had studied and improved the bearing, which was similar to the principle of steel ball bearing proposed by Fusu, but it was just a difference in materials.
Moreover, the ancients have long understood the role of lubricating oil, and the reason why it is not used is not that it is not easy to use, but because the oil was too expensive to use before.
This made Fusu even more convinced that as long as he provided a good environment, Daqin's scientific and technological development would inevitably take off rapidly.
After all, this is Daqin, which is a hundred schools of thought, an open atmosphere, and a strong ability to accept new things, and it is far from reaching the level of pedantic in later generations.
The seedlings of science and technology have not completely dried up in Daqin.
What Fusu has to do is to let this sprout thrive, blossom and bear fruit, and reap the harvest.
