Chapter 2155, new learning exciting

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"In order to encourage scientific and technological innovation and reward scientific and technological progress, the emperor plans to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The emperor took out 1000 million taels of silver from his own money and deposited it in the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. With the annual interest, 30 outstanding scientific contributors will be selected as academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences every year, and 1 taels of silver will be rewarded!"

"At the same time, the Science and Technology Progress Award will be set up, and three winners of the Science and Technology Progress Award will be selected every year, and the three will share the 3 taels of silver progress prize money!"

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"A member of the Royal Academy of Sciences can enjoy the identity and status of Juren, exempt from corvee service and land tax, and can also receive the imperial court's salary according to the treatment of the fifth grade every year!"

In the early morning, with the yelling of newsboys, a new day in Daming began.

"Give me a newspaper!"

"Give me one!"

"Give me one!"

Hearing the news that the emperor established the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences and the Science and Technology Progress Award, newspapers were robbed all at once.

It has been more than [-] years since the establishment of Daming Morning Post, and the young and old in Daming have already gotten used to the lifestyle of 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.

"The Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty?"

"This also gives Juren's identity and status, and he is selected not only with a reward of 1 taels of silver, but also can receive the salary of a regular fifth-rank official on a monthly basis?"

"Isn't this kind of treatment too good?"

"This is really amazing. It seems that there is a promising future for technical research?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"Even if there is no emperor to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences, these people who are engaged in technical research are doing very well. This random invention can often be sold at a high price, making them rich overnight."

"What's more, these technical talents are very popular wherever they go. Whether they are teachers and professors in schools, or as technical researchers in large companies and factories, their salaries are very high. Two denarii are a lot."

"Isn't that right, the last time there was a problem with the machine in our factory, the owner was so anxious that he couldn't fix it after looking for many people. Later, he found a professor from the School of Mechanical Engineering. He knew what was wrong just by listening to the sound. Draw a line and collect a full 100 taels of silver from our factory."

"Really? It's too dark to draw a line to collect 100 taels of silver, isn't it?"

"black?"

"Our boss not only gave the money very happily, but also politely treated people to a big meal. In the words of this professor, drawing a line is not worth money, what is valuable is knowing where to draw a line. "

"The machines in our factory will suffer heavy losses if they stop casually. A mere 100 taels of silver is nothing at all."

"It seems that this new learning also has merit."

"You're just talking nonsense. If there is no new learning, where did the machine come from? Without the machine, can we have the current efficient production?"

"That's right. I didn't read what the newspaper said. In areas such as Liaodong, Hedong, and Heitu Province, a farmer can cultivate thousands of acres or even tens of thousands of acres of land with machines. This is all done by machines."

"I know that too, but I often hear some scholars despise Xinxue, saying that what Xinxue learns is heresy, and it's a third-rate."

"Do you also believe what those scholars say?"

"They are nothing more than a group of poor scholars who have no power to restrain their chickens. They may not even pass the exam for a lifetime. It is useless at all."

"I can't say it. There are still many powerful people among the traditional scholars, and all the officials in the government and the opposition are also from them."

"Anyway, for us ordinary people, it's better to send our children to study in a new school. The income and treatment from the school are very good. Now the emperor also pays attention to it, and gradually the identity and status will be gained."

"Yes, yes, those rich people don't care about money, so they can send their children to study in the old school to take the imperial examination and become an official. It's better for us ordinary people not to study."

"."

In the streets and alleys of the capital, the common people are constantly discussing this matter.

The Son of Heaven established the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, selects 30 academicians every year, and sets up a scientific and technological 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.

Of course, the happiest and most exciting thing at this moment is the professors, teachers and students in colleges and universities.

On the campus of Daming Royal Institute of Technology.

"Good news, good news!"

"The Son of Heaven established the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty. Every year, 30 academicians will be selected, given the status of Juren, and also given the treatment of the fifth rank, and rewarded with 1 taels of silver!"

A student held a newspaper and excitedly shouted at the people he met.

"Really?"

"Of course it is true. It has been reported and detailed rules and regulations have been issued."

"I heard that the imperial court has already selected a site in the new town of the Southern District to build the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Great!"

"The emperor really attaches great importance to our new learning and the development of science and technology, so he supports us so much!"

Hearing the news, many students were extremely excited.

For these new students, the most annoying thing is that the new learning has no status, which is also the point that they are despised by the old students.

Students of the old school can take the imperial examination. As long as they pass the exam, they will have status and status and can be an official. Therefore, these old school scholars have always been very noble and pretentious.

Everyone is shouting to be Tian Shelang in the morning, and to the Tianzitang in the evening, with their nostrils turned up to the sky, lofty and extraordinary.

They look down on new students very much, always despise new students, and even often go to new colleges to show their sense of superiority, show their sense of existence, and attack new students.

But the new students were very unconvinced.

In terms of learning, there are many great talents among the students of Xinxue. Even though Chinese studies in Xinxue are only one of many subjects, because there are many students in Xinxue, there are also many great talents. Great talents are no worse than those old-school talents.

In addition, there are many new things to learn and many subjects. The new students have more and richer knowledge. Many times, the new students also look down on the old students.

Because they often know very little about other things except the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism.

Moreover, the scientific examination of the old school is extremely difficult, and only a small number of people can pass the exam. Most of the old school students can't even pass the exam.

This also means that the vast majority of old school students can only rely on family support, while new school students can often find a good job, not only supporting themselves, but also supporting their families.

The new students also often despise the old students. They are powerless, useless scholars and so on.

The two sides ridiculed each other and looked down on each other.

But in the end, the new learning is still worse, the key is because the new learning students can no longer be officials above the court, and do not have the identity and status of the old learning students.

From top to bottom in Ming society, the status of old school students is quite recognized.

For example, rich people in Ming Dynasty often marry their daughters, but they are more willing to marry those scholars who study in the old school, because not only the family background of these scholars may be from a scholarly family, but also no one knows whether he will be able to pass the entrance examination one day. To be an official.

After all, officials still have a very important status in the magical land of the East.

As for the new students, although they have also studied, they cannot be officials after all. Even if they are engaged in research, in this era, it seems that they are not popular, a little dirty, tired, etc. It is better to sit on the top of the official. Comfortable.

What's more, being an official has power, how can ordinary people with no power compare?

Generally speaking, the students of the old schools have higher status than the students of the new schools. Even though most of them can't pass the exam, they still have status and status.

Now that the emperor has set up the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences, this is the recognition and encouragement of the new learning, and the students of the new learning are naturally very excited.

Although only 30 places are selected each year, and the status of being selected is the status of juren, but for new learners, this is already a great encouragement.

You must know that in the past, even if you were a professor of Xinxue in Niu and a scientist, you didn't have any status. Except for a few who were awarded titles for their outstanding contributions, others could not go to the court.

But it's different now.

The Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty was set up, and new academicians are selected every year, which forms a custom, which is the establishment of identity and status, and it is also a good start.

The emperor and the court affirmed the status, contribution, treatment and rewards of these new learning.

This is a huge improvement compared to before.

The news was spreading rapidly, and the newcomers were extremely excited. At the same time, they began to discuss the first academician selection of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty and the selection of the Science and Technology Progress Award.

Who is eligible to become the first batch of academicians of the Ming Academy of Sciences, and who is eligible to receive this Science and Technology Progress Award, this is a big event, and everyone is discussing this matter.

Zhang Xingjian, who discovered penicillin, must be selected. There are several principals and professors in the Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty who are also eligible to be selected.

Physicists who discovered gravitation must also be selected, engineers who invented the internal combustion engine can also be selected, and there are many professors and scientists in the field of electromagnetism who can also be selected.

There are also Daming Institute of Technology, Daming Medical College, and Jingcheng Institute of Mechanical Engineering. There are also many professors and scientists who are eligible to be selected.

If everyone discusses it casually, there will be a lot of people.
