Really, before the publication of "Natural History", Yao Jiuye really didn't know that there were so many people in the world who were curious about scientific knowledge, but were frustrated because the direction of their curiosity was different from the direction of mainstream culture.
.
Some people persisted with the support of friends, such as Cao Feiyi and Zhao Feng.
And some people lose interest early and numbly let themselves become what their parents and husband want them to be.
The most frightening thing is that they gave up the things that make them happy, and still "achieved nothing" and were despised by others.
They asked him: [Do you think I have a chance to come back again?]
Yao Jiuye replied: [Of course, our "Natural History Journal" not only solicits papers, but also recruits a group of experimenters. If you are interested, you can submit the application form according to the instructions at the back of the newspaper. If you are lucky enough to be hired, you can come
The newspaper office is at work.]
"Why do you suddenly miss the experimenter again?" The twenty-second prince Li Zheng felt a little speechless.
Originally, they created "Natural History" just to answer their questions.
The results are good now. The problem has not been solved yet. We are busy publishing newspapers and replying to letters. Now that we are good, we still have to solve problems for people?
What exactly does Yao Jiuye want to do?
Has he forgotten his point?
Yao Jiuye put down the letter and said: "I think we really need experimenters. Many of the contents registered in the front of our newspaper have been tested and verified. But if "Natural History" always wants to continue reporting
, we will definitely do a lot of experiments, can we complete so many experiments? Obviously impossible, we have more important things. In this case, how about recruiting some people to help us do experiments? "
The twenty-second prince Li Zheng despised: "Are you sure it's not because you sympathize with some people? Poor people must be hateful. Don't be like the farmer and the snake. You have good intentions and are so busy that you are bitten by the snake in the end."
He just felt that this Yao Jiuye was a little too naive.
I don’t know how such a person entered the royal family, and the little emperor’s uncle was not afraid that Yao Jiuye would be eaten by the royal family.
Yao Jiuye said with a smile on his face: "That's not good, it just kills two birds with one stone. As for whether they can bite people... they just do some experiments to help verify, how can they bite people? At most, it is an experimental error, and the readers will give it to them.
Point it out."
If it is really pointed out, it means that there is a problem in the experiment, and whoever is responsible for the experiment should be responsible.
Yao Jiuye didn't see anything wrong at all.
The twenty-second prince, Li Zheng, was too lazy to argue with him and let him do whatever he wanted. When something went wrong and he hit a wall, someone would know to turn around.
Although the original intention of running "Natural History Journal" has not yet been solved, after this period of time, Yao Jiuye really felt that he had learned a lot.
It turns out that there is so much knowledge involved in running a newspaper. It not only has requirements for content, but also a small layout, which requires a lot of attention.
The area of a newspaper is limited, so the numbers it can arrange are fixed.
How much content you want to publish depends on whether the newspaper is extensive enough.
The choice of font, the size of the characters, and the choice of illustrations all affect the amount of content in the edition and whether it is convenient for readers to receive the newspaper and read it.
If the font is too large, too little content can be arranged, and others will feel that it is too much; if the font is too small, too much content can be arranged, but people may not be able to see it clearly, and it may be easier to smear the words when printing.
Therefore, newspapers examine the size and choice of fonts.
Fortunately, "Natural History" is positioned as a children's newspaper. Although the people who actually read the newspaper are not children, because of this positioning, there is more room for manipulation in terms of style.
Unlike the "Da Ming Daily", this is an official newspaper, and all content must be rigorous and without any errors.
Otherwise, it will easily affect the status of the official newspaper in the minds of the public, and even affect the image of the court.
Next, is the content.
Although "Natural History" has said from the beginning that this is not a scientific report, it is not authoritative, and it has no correct answers. It is just "discussing issues" with everyone, which is a process.
But Yao Jiuye still hopes that the content published in the newspaper will be as accurate as possible, rather than "misleading" everyone and taking fallacies as truth.
"Mom, what do you think of my newspaper?"
Yao Jiuye, who was very confident outside, very much hoped to be recognized by Gu Qingling when he returned home.
How could Gu Qingling let him down?
She smiled and stretched out her hand to Yao Jiuye, hugging him as he approached.
Gu Qingling rested her chin on Yao Jiuye's shoulder and said, "It's great! Mom has read it. "Natural History" is very interesting. It is like a small window that allows many people to understand what science is and how to use science."
Think about problems with your own mind. And, as far as my mother knows, you seem to have discovered a lot of 'talents'."
"Do you mean those people who seem to be 'not doing their job properly'?" If you don't read good books and insist on doing some work that craftsmen do, or things that craftsmen don't do, it's not a crooked way.
What is not doing your job properly?
Yao Jiuye was very lucky. Fortunately, he met his mother, otherwise he might have been one of these unfortunate children.
The world is so wonderful, and there are so many problems that need to be solved urgently. If he missed it, his life would be so regretful.
Gu Qingling nodded: "Well, they are the ones. If you think there is a good one, you can introduce it to my mother. She just needs it."
"Mom, you want to do scientific experiments too?" Yao Jiuye wondered.
You can't really ask these people to be craftsmen, right?
Although he himself has no discrimination against craftsmen, in the current mainstream culture, scholars are obviously more noble than craftsmen.
Even if those people are down and out, it may be difficult for them to give up their status as scholars and condescend to become craftsmen.
Yao Jiuye was worried that his mother would be stabbed in the spine.
"Yes, my mother is lacking a lot of people to do scientific experiments, and there are also teachers..." Gu Qingling explained that she wanted to set up a "Da Ming Science Institute" specifically for scientific research.
"Your science laboratory is to verify the content in the newspaper, while my Ming Science Research Institute is to do scientific research and make Ming Dynasty develop better."
Yao Jiuye: "What is the difference between this and the craftsman's workshop?"
"Of course there are differences," Gu Qingling said. "Although the craftsmen's workshops are also doing research, these people are craftsmen for generations. Most of them are illiterate and can see their heads all their lives. But the Daming Research Institute is different.
, the Daming Research Institute is an upgrade of the craftsman workshop. It recruits scholars from all over the world, who are the 'great scholars of the world' in another sense. To be precise, it should be called scientists. The great scholars of the world are the pyramids of the cultural level, while scientists are
The scientific pyramid.”
Yao Jiuye's eyes widened: "You can actually compare with the great scholars of the time?! Mother, are you looking up to them too much?"
Gu Qingling raised her head: "This is not to elevate them, but to let them return to their original position. Let me give you an example. A scholar is an official and governs the world. A military attache goes to the battlefield to protect his family and country.
.So, who is responsible for providing the weapons used in wars, the various tools needed for ordinary people's lives, and even solving problems in the fields? Do you think that literati who can't even distinguish rice from wheat can solve it?"
