Can you live forever

Chapter 231 Preparing to Build a University, King's Treasure

"Look, I will say that you are Tang Seng."

The next day when Zhang Zhixiang entered the palace to look for Jiajing, Jiajing's first words were ridicule. About Zhang Zhixiang's half-step golden elixir, Shao Yuanjie informed Jiajing, because this was not about Zhang Zhixiang alone, but a major event in the entire cultivation world .

Of course, some interesting things were also told.

This is why Jiajing ridiculed that if you eat Tang monk meat, you can live forever.

Zhang Zhixiang was helpless, while Qian Heng was smiling and stroking his beard, looking at Zhang Zhixiang with scientific research interest in his eyes. There were two young people beside Qian Heng, who should be the nephews of the Qian family.

After Qian Heng returned to Lin'an, he moved very quickly, almost following them to the capital.

The Tianguan lineage masters the "shushu", which is the integration of internal and external calculations, so they can not only give birth to magical calculations like Li Chunfeng and Liu Bowen, but also give birth to great scientists like Lu Ban and Zhang Heng.

Lu Ban is the patriarch of carpenters, but Lu Ban also has a book called "Book of Lu Ban", which contains a lot of content of geomantic omen and numerology in architectural knowledge, and the second half has more medical skills and solutions.

Since ancient times, those who study and count are all-rounders.

So in ancient times, when we praised people, it was because we knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and we really knew everything.

Qian Heng brought all the books on family studies to the capital, and the capital university will teach and pass on the art of calligraphy as the core. Jiajing transferred half of the people from Qintian to the capital university.

Because astronomy originally originated from astronomy, at Jingshi University, the first thing students have to learn is astronomy.

Whether it is the five arts of mountain medicine fortune telling or divination for internal calculations, or mathematics, physics and chemistry for external calculations, astronomy is the essence of all disciplines, the source of civilization, and the heart of science.

"I am going to issue 5000 million national bonds for the establishment of Jingshi University."

They were originally discussing the preparations for the Capital University. Jiajing's words shocked everyone. Even the principal, Qian Heng, felt that it would not take so much money.

"The seismograph, armillary sphere, astronomical observatory, astronomical telescope..."

"A brand new planetarium with the most advanced technology must cost a lot of money."

Jiajing's plain words made Qian Heng and the others see Jiajing's courage. They never thought that Jiajing was willing to spend so much money on astronomical instruments. They really wanted to let go of research, establish observatories around the world, and reorganize the astronomical calendar...

If the scale is large enough and detailed enough, this item alone can use up 5000 million taels of silver.

"Don't look at me that way. Although I know the importance of astronomy, I don't want to spend so much money. The national teacher told me that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and astronomy is the leader of science and technology."

"People in future generations can fly to the moon by rocket. I hope that you, Jingshi University, will also set this goal."

"Whether it's 100 years or 200 years, you have to go to the moon to see it."

The three of the Qian family's eyes lit up immediately, and they all clenched their fists in excitement, yes, go to the moon to see!Fly to the sky, fly to the moon!
Jiajing continued to talk about his plan: "5000 million taels, in addition to the construction of the planetarium, is the cultivation of talents. There are too many officials in the imperial court. It is not necessary to become an official after studying. I need a group of people who specialize in learning and studying science. technical people."

"Zhenhui specializes in an independent scientific system, and different titles have different salaries."

"These scientists don't have administrative power in their hands, and they have been engaged in learning all their lives, so their salaries and rewards should be higher, so that they can live comfortably and don't have to worry about family expenses."

"It is estimated that the salary will be higher than that of the Song Dynasty."

Jiajing's move started from scratch, high salary to support honesty, which immediately made Qian Heng's eyes shine, secretly thinking that this majesty is indeed the pinnacle of emperor's art, and immediately diverted the literati.

Notice.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty still maintain the rules set by the Taizu... After more than 100 years of inflation, if you really count on your salary to live on, then you have to be like Hai Rui, buying two taels of meat can make news.

Is this because civil servants are unwilling to change it?

No, they are forcing everyone to be greedy. If everyone is greedy, there will be no corrupt officials.

Jiajing knew that the salaries of officials were wrong and should be changed, but he did not change them now. In the current situation, no matter how much money was thrown in, it would be nothing but meat buns beating dogs.

Jiajing wanted to give scientists higher salaries than Song Dynasty officials, which was definitely a great financial pressure.

It should be noted that for an official like Bao Zheng, the Song court will pay more than 1 yuan in salary every year, and the lowest official will have a salary of [-] yuan a year.

If there are tens of thousands of scientists, how much will they earn a year?
At least tens of millions of taels!
This is just the salary, not counting the scientific research funds... Can the court afford it?

"Don't worry, Daming is rich, and I will soon be rich too."

Jiajing didn't think that wars would cost money, especially when fighting against "Japanese pirates" in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the imperial army had a foothold, it would seriously affect overseas trade. At that time, the army would be the customs!

There is customs, are you afraid of running out of money?
In later generations, there was a film "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" that was not well acted at all. Jiajing in his later years was not short of money at all.Because Jiajing, who was fighting the Japanese pirates, was not short of money at all, and was extremely rich, second only to Zhu Di.

for example.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty was easy to catch fire, and several times it was the kind that burned all of it.The three halls of Wanli were built from Wanli 31, and they were not completed until Wanli 47, and they were not completed until the fifth year of Tianqi.

Then, in the sixth year of the apocalypse, the Wanggong factory exploded, and the three main halls collapsed.

It has been repaired for more than 20 years, and the preparations and material purchases in the early stage of Wanli are not counted. Apocalypse alone cost 600 million taels. Then, what is the evaluation of the history books?The scale cost is less than one-third of the restoration of the three main halls during the Jiajing period!

And how many years did it take Jiajing to repair the Three Great Halls?
In the 36th year of Jiajing, there was a fire, and all the fifteen gates on the second floor of the three halls were destroyed, but in the 40th year of Jiajing, it was all completed!It only took four years and cost 5000 to [-] million taels, and Jiajing used internal funds to repair the three main halls.

But at this time, Jiajing was planning to spend his own money to repair the city wall of the capital, because the capital only had two layers of walls, and he was going to build the third layer!

You said how rich Jiajing was after the Japanese Rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River?
Does he need to shout the phrase "My money"?

The strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, the Qi Family Army, was armed by Jiajing. The Qi Family Army's battle damage ratio was outrageous. Often after a battle, only two people were injured, and they still sprained their feet.

From this you can know how fierce the firepower of Qi's army is and how rich they are in fighting.

Li Yunlong is drooling, okay?

"Money is not a problem. The 5000 million national debt is just start-up capital. In addition to the planetarium and the salary of scientists, I also want to build a library for Jingshi University. I will re-copy the Yongle Canon and put it in the library."

"Moreover, the library cannot only have encyclopedias like Yongle Dadian, it also needs more data support."

"This requires the national teacher to find a way."

data……

Zhang Zhixiang knew that Jiajing had taken a fancy to the Wang family, not to mention whether the Wang family agreed, just to build a huge database would cost at least several million taels of silver.

Operation and maintenance is not a small fortune.

"Tianwen is in Wang Jiangque's hands. I will ask her. However, the Wang family spends millions of taels of silver on Tianwen every year. Can the court's stall be opened?"

Zhang Zhixiang was also worried about Jiajing's financial collapse.

Jiajing said without any scruples: "Power is wealth. As long as I take back the sovereignty of the country, I will have endless wealth."

　Thanks to "Little Brother Wuxie" for the 500 starting point reward.
