I am Da Song

Chapter 358 Da Song's Gem Level Mathematical Genius
Does it make sense to advance a technology a little bit?Is it worth affirming?

There is no doubt that technology is advancing little by little.

If you want to count on one person to push technology forward by leaps and bounds, either this person is a peerless genius, or this person is a time traveler or a system adder.

But no matter which one is too illusory, Zhao Huan can't rely on luck to touch it.

Therefore, the safest way to promote scientific and technological progress is to ensure that everyone improves a technology even a little bit.

Zhao Huan looked at Su Dai and said seriously: "What you said is very reasonable. If the state awards and judges, the officials must choose the content with outstanding technology and great achievements. But those who can be judged for this kind of award, Although it happens every year, the overall proportion is too small.”

"It is best to have a monastery, and the people can apply for it themselves. As long as it is confirmed that this new invention and improvement has not been created before, the state will protect and reward it."

Su Dai agreed and said: "If even a little improvement can be made, it will benefit for life. I think people all over the world will devote themselves to it enthusiastically."

Life-long benefit.

Zhao Huan thought of a word in an instant, and said, "I intend to promote national patents from commercial to industrial."

Protecting patents is by no means an unfamiliar word to Zhongyuan.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, whether it was the patent of salt and iron or the patent of tea and wine, it was very popular for a while.

Extending this aspect to the industry is closer to the classic patent protection of later generations.

Westerners do pay more attention to patent protection than Central Plains.

The first patent protection law was promulgated in the Republic of Venice, Italy in March 1474.

It is 300 years from now.

However, the degree of economic prosperity and industrial and commercial development of the two sides is not a 300-year gap.

It is the Song Dynasty that leads Venice by more than 300 years!
Although there is a huge difference in the prosperity of the two sides, their economic structures are highly similar, and both are highly developed in industry and commerce.

Venice is a well-known trade capital in the West.

The Great Song Dynasty was the dynasty that attached the most importance to business and industry in the Central Plains since ancient times.

Although the Ming Dynasty was later than the Song Dynasty in terms of time, the Ming Dynasty was a typical feudal agricultural country, and its industrial and commercial prosperity was about two 200 years behind the Song Dynasty.

The most obvious of these is that Song Dynasty is basically at the pinnacle ahead of the West in all aspects of civilization.

When Westerners saw the scenery of the Song Dynasty, they sighed: "European emperors are not as good as the city guards of the Song Dynasty."

When it came to Ming Dynasty, it was caught up by the West, which had not yet had an industrial revolution.When it comes to the Qing Dynasty, don't mention it.

Therefore, only from the perspective of industrial and commercial prosperity, the implementation of the patent protection law in Song Dynasty is more productive than that in Venice.

The only difference is the construction of the superstructure and the change of ideology.

If the Song Dynasty wants to promote the development of industry and science and technology, it must change from the wind of ease, and respect the research results of every scholar and craftsman ideologically.

Even if they have only made a negligible contribution to technology, this contribution is also the result of civilization created by them. If others want to use it, they must respect their contribution and give it value.

Rather than white whoring and theft without psychological burden.

Just like the craftsman who invented the Qu Yuanli, although he only changed the shape of one Yuan Li, the whole world benefited from it.

Then it should be rewarded with unparalleled wealth.

From now on, every workshop that produces Quyuanli should give it a share of the profits.

Only in this way, other people in the Song Dynasty would think about how to change the shape of Quyuanli to make it more convenient for production, so that all workshops in the world would adopt their own inventions and improvements.

In this case, Quyuanli, which has not changed for thousands of years, will improve by leaps and bounds within three years.

Steam tractors can come out as fast as they can.

Let the people in the Central Plains indulge in comfort, even after another 1000 years, they would never think of changing Quyuanli into a steam tractor!
Regarding this matter, Su Dai had no idea, and asked, "Are the officials planning to abolish the eunuch of the Taixue?"

Zhao Huan shook his head resolutely, and said, "No, Taixue's National Division Xingjian has made remarkable achievements. I have seen the results of last year, and the first, second, and third prizes they rated are all very good. Among them, the engineering The first prize went to the open-field mining technology, which greatly improved the efficiency of my mining of various minerals."

"The evaluation given by the Taiyuan Academy is that the output of coal, metals, ores, and steel in our dynasty will suddenly double or triple because of this item."

"In terms of mathematics, the first prize was awarded to "Geometric Arithmetic". Xu Yue, a great mathematician in my dynasty, unified the two concepts of 'shape' and 'number' for the first time, introduced variables, and used algebraic methods to solve classical geometry. question."

"This achievement is truly remarkable!"

Of course, this is also very closely related to the extraordinarily generous bonuses.

The first prize of all disciplines is [-] guan.

But only the math bonus will be tripled!Because the royal family will give double incentives to all scholars who have won the first to ninth prizes in mathematics.

Propose a knowledge, 30 yuan!
This made the scholars of the Song Dynasty, even if they were Confucian children, devote a lot of energy to research and calculation.

The six rites of a gentleman: ritual, music, archery, control, book, and number.

Shusu originally had a very high status in the Central Plains.

Now it has been pushed to an unparalleled position by Zhao Huan, and it has become a knowledge that any scholar must be proficient in.

Even if you are a literary master, a poet, or even an old and rotten Confucian, you have to be proficient in this aspect.

Otherwise, if you go out to preach and teach, and other students ask for advice on a math problem, if you can't answer it, you will lose your reputation.You claim to be a certain gentleman, and you claim to be Mr. So and so, but you are not even proficient in the six arts of a gentleman?
No matter how much you quibble, it is inevitable that other people will wonder whether this is deceiving the world.

A gentleman who does not know how to count is like a general who does not know how to shoot arrows, a luthier who does not know how to play the harp, and a dancer who does not know how to dance.

Then you are known as a scholar, what do you come out to teach?
Under this kind of atmosphere, those four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River and the six gentlemen of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty must have a very good mathematical foundation if they dare to show off.Or math geniuses.

For example, Xu Yue, who proposed "Geometry", is only 19 years old and is a true mathematical genius.

The achievement of one person is enough to reach 2000 million people in the Song Dynasty.

It is really a person who is pushing the mathematical theory of Da Song and even the entire Eastern and Western worlds forward.

He is also praised by Taixue as the genius who is most likely to use mathematical language to answer Simon's question.

Without the efforts of Taixue Si Xingjian, Da Song would not have such brilliant scientific and technological achievements.

Relying on the efforts of Zhao Huan alone, he would not be able to produce a classic academic masterpiece like "Geometry" until his death.

Because he can't do mathematics, he just can't!
