    New learning has always been the main force that promoted the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Science and technology allowed the people of the Ming Dynasty to have stronger military power, more efficient production efficiency, and more convenient transportation and communications. Its role has already penetrated into various fields of the Ming Dynasty.  .

    Now Liu Jin proposes to establish the Daming Academy of Sciences and give some of its outstanding scientists, engineers, and researchers the status and honor of academicians. This is an affirmation of science and technology, and it can also promote the development of science and technology.

    "Da Ming Academy of Sciences?"

    Zhu Houzhao quickly read Liu Jin's memorial, thought about it carefully and said: "The name of the Ming Academy of Sciences is not enough. The word "Royal" should be added to it. This way, the name "Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty" sounds better and can better express my commitment to science and technology.  Support and recognition.¡±

    "In addition, I will take out 10 million taels of silver from my internal funds and deposit it in the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. The annual interest will be approximately more than 400,000 taels of silver."

    "These more than 400,000 taels of silver are used for the annual academician selection. Thirty places are selected every year, and each place is awarded 10,000 taels of silver. The remaining more than 100,000 taels are set up to award a Science and Technology Progress Award to three scientists who have made outstanding contributions.  , engineers, researchers.¡±

    ¡°These researchers, scientists, and engineers have contributed greatly to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Without the powerful weapons and weapons they developed, our Ming Dynasty would not be able to sweep all directions, and it would be impossible to have the vast territory it has today.¡±

    "Without the advanced cultivators, harvesters, rice mills, flour machines, etc. they developed, it would be impossible to have the hundreds of millions of cultivated land we have today in the Ming Dynasty, with endless food to eat, and the people would no longer be hungry."

    ¡°Without the various medicines and treatments they developed, the population of our Ming Dynasty would not have been able to grow rapidly, and it would have been impossible to have the prosperous and prosperous age of our 40 million compatriots in the Ming Dynasty today.¡±

    "Liu Jin, your proposal is very good. Both the imperial court and the people of Ming Dynasty should be more loyal to the development and progress of science and technology and improve their status and status."

    Zhu Houzhao was very supportive and agreed with Liu Jin's proposal.

    He himself likes to do research very much. In the fields of electromagnetics and mechanics, Zhu Houzhao is still an authoritative person, so he can understand the huge role of technology.

    Zhu Houzhao was also involved in the first steam harvester in the Ming Dynasty.

    The first harvester was developed and was very efficient. Controlling the machine can complete harvesting very easily. The efficiency is much higher than traditional harvesting methods.

    A person who can drive a machine can easily harvest hundreds of acres of land in a day, but if you rely on a sickle to harvest, even if you are exhausted, you can only harvest a few acres of land in one day.

    There are also textile factories in Daming. Factories using new textile machinery are very efficient. An ordinary worker can spin hundreds of times as much cloth in a day as a traditional textile machine.

    This was still the situation when science and technology first came out. Nowadays, Ming Dynasty has made great progress in all aspects of science and technology.

    In the medical field, with the emergence of penicillin, the mortality rate in Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced, especially among children and infants. In the past, if ten people could feed half of them, they would have to burn incense. Any pneumonia or influenza would be a big problem.  May lead to premature death.

    But now, with the development of medical technology in the Ming Dynasty, especially the emergence of penicillin, these diseases are no longer terrible, the mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and the average life span of the Ming Dynasty has increased by 20 years.

    Zhu Houzhao saw all these and clearly understood the importance of science and technology.

    Now Liu Jin proposed to set up the Ming Academy of Sciences, Zhu Houzhao was very supportive, and he generously took out 10 million taels of silver from his own funds as a reward to set up a Science and Technology Progress Award.

    "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Hearing Zhu Houzhao¡¯s words, Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but salute Zhu Houzhao respectfully.

    This Zhu Houzhao, he is really lustful, and he is really playful if he is playful.

    But people are very smart, and at the same time, they are very clear about right and wrong.

    He knew what was important and beneficial to Ming Dynasty, so he supported Liu Jin¡¯s proposal and even used his own money to set up a progress award.

    "Haha, Liu Jin, you also think my proposal is good, right?"

    Seeing Liu Jin speaking so respectfully of his sage, Zhu Houzhao immediately grinned happily.

    "My dear friends, what do you think?"

    Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren, Zhong Fan, Yang Yun, Tong Rui and others again.

    "Your Majesty is wise!"

    "I think this?.

    The Science and Technology Progress Award is a very good award.

    According to Zhu Houzhao¡¯s plan, 100,000 taels of silver can be used to reward three outstanding contributors every year. Even if the 100,000 taels of silver are divided equally among three people, one person can get more than 30,000 taels of silver.

    This more than 30,000 taels of silver is almost equivalent to more than 30 million in later generations, which is enough for people to have enough food and clothing.

    In comparison, this award in later generations seems a bit petty. With a reward of several million, you can't even buy a house in a place like the Imperial Capital or the Magic City.

    To be honest, people who want to engage in scientific and technological research can do so with peace of mind. At the very least, it should be free from worries. It should be more open-minded.

    Zhu Houzhao is relatively generous. Each selected academician is rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, which is enough to buy two houses in the imperial capital. In addition, he enjoys the treatment and salary of the fifth grade, at least in terms of life.  It is definitely guaranteed and you can go about your research without any worries.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
