--------------------Ning Wanting's eyes were bright, which made Yun Zheng feel guilty for a while, and she laughed dryly and said: "Mother, my son has suddenly turned into a monster. What's wrong with you?"
Staring like this?"
Ning Wanting snorted softly, looked away and said, "You've been really smart and almost evil lately."
Yunzheng's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled and said with a smile on his face: "Mother, are you praising your son or scolding him? How smart is a good word, but being close to a demon is a bit... Well, is my son smart?
, mother doesn’t like it either?”
"You are such a talker." Ning Wanting reached out and knocked Yunzheng on the head, and asked: "I heard that when you were in Huai'an, you called Dongfang girl over and arranged a large number of research projects for her?"
"This...well, there are some plans, but it's not a large number. Besides, it's not for Miss Dongfang alone. In my son's Yingyang Guard, Li Mo, the military advisor, and Li Xianyang are also talented in studying things. My son
He also left him in Huai'an." Yun Zheng couldn't figure out why his mother suddenly asked about this. He couldn't help but glance at Yun Lan, but saw that Yun Lan was leisurely sipping juice on the side, as if he didn't even listen to the mother and son.
Conversation is average
Ning Wanting said: "My mother also knows a little about those studies, but some things are not suitable for doing in Huai'an."
Yunzheng immediately understood what his mother meant, rolled his eyes, and laughed: "It just so happened that my son originally planned to evacuate the researchers from Huai'an to Yanjing after his father went to Luoyang to take up his new post. Since my mother
My parents also have this idea, so it would be easier. In fact, my son has an idea, which is to establish an academy of science in Yanjing to recruit talents who have special skills in various types of objects and let them be responsible for innovating and improving some existing tools.
Equipment, it’s just that I, the Wei Dynasty, always talk about Confucius and Mencius. When I mention these things, I talk about them with magic skills, as if what they wear and use in daily life are not made by these magic skills, which is very annoying.
"
Yunzheng's idea of setting up an academy of science did not come up overnight. He knew the benefits of Chinese Confucian culture to the ruling class, but he also knew that hundreds of thousands of years of feudalism had suppressed the enthusiasm for scientific and technological innovation. In the history of previous lives, its specific
The performance has the following points:
First, it is closed to the outside world and closed to the outside world. The impact of Western scientific enlightenment thoughts and the trend of the Industrial Revolution is that China is closed to the outside world and shuts out the achievements of the Industrial Revolution. It is obsessed with the traditional and backward Eastern civilization and agricultural economy.
Western countries voluntarily gave up their maritime activities. This strange phenomenon lasted for hundreds of years until it pushed a prosperous world power into the abyss of feudalism, semi-feudalism, and colonization.
Second, the feudal ruling class values literature over theory and uses stereotypes to recruit officials. The feudal ruling class emphasizes literature over skills and adopts stereotypes. It is closed to the country and cultural Zhuanzhi. It encourages weakness and meekness, opposes risk-taking and violence, emphasizes "learning and excellence will lead to officialdom", and advocates
Become a high official by reading more books
The third is "emphasis on government affairs, despise nature, and reject skills." From the perspective of national cultural traditions and thinking concepts, Westerners advocate martial arts, value technology, and like to challenge and invent. Traditional Chinese culture advocates comity, humility, peace, and patience.
"The metaphysical is Tao, the physical is tools". The ruling class "emphasizes government affairs, despises nature, and rejects skills." It believes that scientific inventions and technological innovations are "wonderful skills and ingenuity", and those who engage in science and technology can only be classified as "square skills"
, the very low status of science and technology has especially led to the emergence of strange laws in Chinese military culture that emphasize Taoism, strategy but not weapons, and not skills. "If you learn well, you will become an official."
If you memorize the Five Classics and Eight Parts Essay, you can become an official, and if you enter the official career, you can control others; but once you fall into the position of "skills", you can only be controlled by others.
The fourth is to emphasize Taoism over weapons and use skill to make up for clumsiness. When technology and equipment are reduced to the second or third-rate level in the world, when the weapons are not as good as people, the skills are not as good as people, the weapons are not powerful, and the sharp weapons are disadvantageous, they are forced to return to the "Tao".
"Finding a way out, trying to win with strategy, using skill to make up for one's weakness, using art to control others, and defeating the enemy to death through innovative tactics, theoretical innovations and all kinds of fancy ideas. This traditional thinking logic that values doctrine over weapons often fails.
Deviating from the correct direction, elevating the role of humans in the relationship between humans and weapons to the point where they can completely replace equipment and offset the role of weapons. Ultimately, they are getting further and further away from the scientific spirit. The West values weapons as well as Tao, but weapons are the most important and Tao is the most important.
Secondly, the two complement each other and are integrated into each other, which is worth learning from.
Yunzheng feels that it is these four points that lead to such an outcome: Although China has technological innovation, there is no scientific discovery. Although China has had some innovative ideas in history, there have been some inventions and creations including the four great inventions.
, but because most of them are inventions at the technical and technical level, lacking rational thinking and grasp of laws, they lack guiding value and promotion prospects. Therefore, Western scientists have multiple scientific concepts and believe that technology is only a technique and means to realize scientific ideas.
Yunzheng noticed a phenomenon in particular at the beginning. CCTV introduced some TV programs from Western countries, many of which were also entertainment programs. However, if you look closely, you will see that their entertainment programs are scientific experimental programs that allow the audience to participate. Through a large number of
Scientific experiments allow the audience to understand some scientific common sense in daily life. If teenagers often watch such programs, they will have the inspiration and association of scientific and technological innovation. But many of our TV programs are silly, silly, and talkative. What's the point?
, there is no scientific connotation or high-quality humor. When you watch an entertainment program, you feel that you have wasted your time and gained nothing. What is education and entertainment? Foreigners do very well, but we don’t even feel like learning.
Interest in science and technology, this is the quality most needed for the rise of China!
In this world, Yun Zheng didn't think too much when he first crossed over, but as he gradually got used to it and began to enjoy his new life in this world, he came up with the idea of establishing an academy of science. He hoped to change China's "always only have technology,
The strange status quo of "but no technology" has added some more positive and enterprising ideas to Chinese civilization, so that even if there will still be changes in dynasties in the future, there will still be the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution in the Western world, but China will not be swept away by this trend.
Beaten to a bloody head
This may be the most basic national complex of a time traveler
Ning Wanting didn't expect that before her topic was revealed, her son started to sell his ideas. She couldn't help but ask: "Don't we already have Dongge responsible for researching weapons? What else is going on... What does the Academy of Sciences do?
What? Besides, what is science?"
Yunzheng was stunned for a moment: "What is science? Science... is a truth-seeking and pragmatic attitude and a method of rigorously thinking to study problems, and it is also systematic knowledge that truthfully reflects the inherent laws of objective things." Seeing that his parents were a little confused after hearing this, they hurriedly
Deciding to change the topic, because he could not explain it to the two ancients at the moment, he quickly continued: "As for Dongge, yes, Dongge can improve or even make some new weapons for us, but Dongge's creation depends on
It is based on the ability of one or a few smart people, but what the son hopes is to cultivate a large number of talents with innovative abilities. Only the more such talents, the more gains we can get. Besides, just weapons
Innovation is not enough. According to my son’s vision, we must invest more energy, manpower, material and financial resources into the innovation of agricultural, industrial and other civilian products. Only when we build up these strengths can we be truly successful.
Stronger”
This time Yun Lan also became confused: "More manpower, material and financial resources should be spent on agriculture and industry? How to spend it? Will more people and money be invested in reclaiming wasteland and mines?"
"That's not necessarily true. In fact, in order to develop agriculture, it is not only necessary to open up large areas of wasteland, but also to build water conservancy projects and pay attention to the improvement of agricultural tools. Only in this way can agricultural development develop rapidly. For example, in the past few decades of our country, many new types of fields have begun to appear, such as terraced fields (
Appeared in mountainous areas), silt fields (fields made of silt washed by rivers), Shatian (sand silt land on the seaside), Jiafian (made rafts on the lake and covered with mud), etc. These are the past dynasties.
None, but through the innovation of new agricultural ideas, it has been reclaimed, and has its own uses, and the yield is not low. It has greatly increased the area of agricultural fields and increased income. This is the benefit of science and technology. In fact, it is not only the reclamation of various fields.
In this way, the use of new agricultural tools also has such effects. For example, not long after the founding of the Chinese dynasty, the step plow was popularized, and later the rice-pulling tools and horses were used. These things have a very good effect on improving agricultural production efficiency. Last time when my son was in Huai'an, he discovered
A blacksmith, who was a Han Chinese from the Liao region who fled south, invented a method of using separate ridges to plow the land. No one paid much attention to it at first, but after his son saw it, he discovered that it was a wonderful thing and was particularly suitable for comparison.
In the cold northern region, including our northern Xinjiang, my son roughly estimates that if farmers all use such new tools for new farming, this small, inconspicuous invention alone can make the entire northern region more prosperous.
An increase of about 10% in Xinjiang's annual agricultural product harvest may not sound like much, but if this increase refers to the entire northern Xinjiang... Dad, Mom, you should know how big that number should be. This is the magic of technology."
Ning Wanting was extremely surprised. She really didn't expect that a small blacksmith could actually increase the overall agricultural income of the entire Northern Xinjiang by 10%. Although this was only the effect of Yunzheng assuming that the entire Northern Xinjiang adopted this method, Yunzheng was so
To say it with full confidence in front of the couple, it must have been carefully considered, and it couldn't be aimless. Then this is very powerful. Is this really the work of a mere little blacksmith?
As the leader of the entire Northern Xinjiang, Yun Lan is a typical pragmatist. After listening to Yunzheng's words, he thought for a moment and asked: "Is this what you call agricultural science?"
Yunzheng laughed: "This is considered a part of agricultural science. In fact, there are many more, including the cultivation of various seeds, the breeding of various agricultural animals such as cattle, the breeding of various meat-eating livestock, etc., all of which belong to the sons of agriculture.
It means to gather talents who are particularly good at these things and let them figure out some better methods than the methods currently used, so that our crops can be planted better, produce more, and be less likely to die.
Or break it down a little; let the cows we raise be stronger and live longer, the pigs and sheep we raise be fatter, the horses run faster, etc."
Yun Lan looked at her son who was talking eloquently, smiled and nodded: "This idea does sound good."
Ning Wanting also said: "The brat is getting better and better at cheating now. It's easy to say it, but it's not so easy to do it. Just say that kind of crops have more harvests. Isn't this something that God has the final say on?
Can you still be stubborn with God?"
Yunzheng said: "It is said that man can conquer nature. Although it is difficult to increase crop harvests, it is not impossible. It can be achieved by using new breeding methods, such as hybridization..." His voice stopped suddenly. It is better not to talk about hybrid rice.
Even if I knew what kind of rice Mr. Yuan used, I might not be able to cultivate it, so I had to say: "For example, Champa rice. Champa rice was introduced to our country from Linyi in the Wei Dynasty. Now it has been widely planted in the south, and the yield is as high as
The ability to resist drought and floods has been greatly improved.”
Ning Wanting originally wanted to say, "We were growing wheat instead of rice at that time," but when she thought about it, she didn't want to dampen her son's enthusiasm, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you know our Zheng'er's ambitions. Listen to you."
After talking about agricultural science and technology, what is industrial science?”
"Industrial science also has a wide scope. For example, the new agricultural tools invented by the blacksmith just mentioned. If these agricultural tools are to be manufactured successfully, iron smelting, forging, etc. are considered industrial. In addition, the excavation of minerals and the smelting of ores are also
Or manufacturing new tools for digging mines, etc., all of which belong to industry. To put it simply, industry refers to the work and process of collecting raw materials and producing them into products in factories," Yun Zheng said with a smile.
Yun Lan suddenly said: "This industrial matter, after listening to your description of agriculture, my father can guess a little bit, so you don't need to go into details. In short, this is something about the Academy of Sciences, and my father can agree to you doing it."
But...after all, this matter is still a bit...unusual for the current state of the country, so my father thinks that you should build two colleges at the same time, a liberal arts college and an academy of sciences. The liberal arts college is built with great fanfare, which makes it more attractive.
The better the attention, but the Academy of Sciences should not show off or irritate the Confucian scholars, just in case they still ask..."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, if they still ask, my son will find a way to talk about agriculture. My son said that this is to research a new seed so that everyone in the world can eat.
This is an act of great benevolence and righteousness in the world... Using the opponent's spear and attacking the opponent's shield, my son will have a smooth time."
When he spoke like this, Yun Lan was not angry, but nodded: "As long as you understand."
Ning Wanting glanced at her husband, winked slightly, and asked if she should ask about Yunzheng's "strategic layout". Yun Lan said nothing, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Ning Wanting hesitated for a moment, then finally asked: "Zheng'er, both your father and your mother have seen the map of the Wanli Sea Territory that you presented last time. My mother is just a little curious, why do you see from that map?
Once you really occupy Liuqiu - the Taiwan you mentioned - and the Philippines and other places, it seems that you will surround our Wei Dynasty from the sea?"
Yun Zheng's eyelids didn't even twitch, and he smiled: "This son doesn't know. It's not my son who has the final say where there is an island. That's a matter for the gods. My son only has an interest in the products on these islands."
Just interested”
"Oh?" Ning Wanting did not hide her doubts at all.
Yun Lan suddenly said: "Okay, it's getting late, madam, let's go now." Then she stood up and said to Yun Zheng: "Father, after listening to what you said today, I can imagine that you definitely didn't come up with this idea in a day or two.
Now that I have given you the power to do it, as a father, I hope you can do it well and don’t let me and your mother down."
Yun Zheng said solemnly: "Father, don't worry, my son will try his best."
Seeing that Yun Lan didn't want to ask any more questions, Ning Wanting had no choice but to stand up and looked at Yun Zheng as if she wanted to explain something. In the end, she didn't say anything and quietly left with Yun Lan.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and Yunzheng stood in the wind. The autumn breeze was slightly cool, refreshing and calming.
It seems that in my hands, a battle of Tao skills is about to begin. He puffed up his chest and muttered silently:
In the long history of China's empire of more than two thousand years, there have been two ways to help the world, namely Tao and technology.
The Tao is the Great Way, the law of the world. If you follow it, you can control the world. The Tao of Wuwei means that you cannot do specific things. If you do specific things, it is no longer the Great Tao and it will be reduced to a skill.
Skills are methods of doing specific things, such as carpentry technology, construction technology, smelting technology, etc. Skills are used to solve practical problems faced every day.
