¡°In order to encourage scientific and technological innovation and reward scientific and technological progress, the emperor plans to establish the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty!¡±
¡°The emperor took out 10 million taels of silver from his own internal funds and deposited it in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. With annual interest, 30 outstanding scientific contributors were selected to be elected as academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences every year, and 10,000 taels of silver were awarded!¡±
"At the same time, a Science and Technology Progress Award will be set up. Three Science and Technology Progress Award winners will be selected every year. The three will share the Progress Award bonus of 100,000 taels of silver!"
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"
"Members of the Royal Academy of Sciences can enjoy the status and status of a scholar, are exempted from corvee service and land tax, and can also receive a salary from the court every year according to the treatment of the fifth grade!"
In the early morning, with the shouting of the newsboy, a new day of Ming Dynasty begins.
"Give me a newspaper!"
"Give me one!"
"Give me one!"
When I heard the news that the emperor had established the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Sciences and the Science and Technology Progress Award, the newspapers were snapped up.
It has been more than thirty years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post. The young and old men of the Ming Dynasty have long been accustomed to reading newspapers and drinking morning tea in the morning.
Whenever an important event is published, the sales of this newspaper will be very hot, because everyone will want to know about this event as soon as possible.
"Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty?"
"This also gives the person the identity and status of being elected. Not only is there a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, but you can also receive the salary of a fifth-grade official on a monthly basis?"
"Isn't this kind of treatment too good?"
"This is really amazing. It seems that there is a bright future in technological research?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Even if there is no emperor who establishes the Royal Academy of Sciences, these people who engage in technical research are still living very well. This random invention can often be sold at a high price and become rich overnight."
"What's more, these technical talents are very popular wherever they go. Whether they are teachers and professors in schools or technical researchers in large commercial banks and factories, their salaries are very high, ranging from dozens of dollars a month. There are many for two pieces of silver."
"Isn't that right? Last time there was a problem with the machine in our factory. The owner was so anxious that he called many people but couldn't fix it. Then he called a professor from the School of Mechanical Engineering. He could tell where the problem was just by listening to the sound. Just draw a line and charge our factory a full 100 taels of silver."
"Really or not? Just draw a line and charge 100 taels of silver. Isn't this too shady?"
"black?"
"Our boss was not only very happy to give us the money, but also politely treated us to a big meal. In the words of this professor, drawing a line is not valuable. What is valuable is knowing where to draw the line. "
"Our factory's machines will suffer heavy losses if they are stopped at any time. A mere 100 taels of silver is nothing at all."
"It seems that this new learning also has merit."
"You are just talking nonsense. Without Xinxue, where would the machines come from? Without machines, how could we have the efficient production we have now?"
"That's right, I didn't see what was said in the newspaper. In Liaodong, Hedong, Black Earth Province and other regions, a farmer can cultivate thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land by relying on machines. This is all done by machines."
"I know that too, but I often hear some scholars despise Xinxue, saying that what they learn is heretical and third-rate."
"Do you believe what those scholars say?"
"They are just a bunch of poor scholars with no power. They may not even be able to pass the examination in their lifetime, so they are of no use at all."
"It can't be said in any way. There are still many powerful people among traditional scholars, and officials in both the government and the public are all from among them."
"Anyway, for us ordinary people, it is better to send our children to study in a new school. The income and benefits after studying are very good. Now the emperor also pays attention to it, and gradually the status and status will be gained."
"Yes, yes, those rich people don't care about money, so they can send their children to go to old school to take the imperial examination and become officials. It's better for us ordinary people not to go to school."
""
In the streets and alleys of the capital, people are constantly discussing this matter.
The emperor established the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty, selected 30 academicians every year, and also set up the Science and Technology Progress Award. This is undoubtedly an affirmation and support for the new learning, and it also shows the importance and support for science and technology.
&nbs??The selection of new academicians forms a customization, which is the establishment of identity and status, and is also a good start.
The emperor and the imperial court recognized the status and contribution of these new students, and gave them treatment and rewards.
?Compared to before, this is a huge improvement.
The news was spreading rapidly, and the newcomers were extremely excited. At the same time, they began to discuss enthusiastically the selection of the first academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty and the selection of the Science and Technology Progress Award.
Who is qualified to become the first academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty, and who is qualified to receive this Science and Technology Progress Award? This is a big deal, and everyone is discussing this matter.
Zhang Xingjian, who discovered penicillin, must be selected. There are several presidents and professors at the Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty who are also eligible for selection.
There are also physicists who discovered universal gravitation who must be selected, engineers who invented the internal combustion engine can also be selected, and there are many professors and scientists in the electromagnetic field who can also be selected.
There are also many professors and scientists from Daming Institute of Technology, Daming Medical College, and Beijing Institute of Mechanical Engineering who are eligible to be selected.
