Chapter 568: Today's protagonist is a bit weird
Ashinadur originally came to make soy sauce today.
Although as the general of the Twelve Guards, he also received an invitation letter, but he didn't think that this Datang Royal Science and Technology Award ceremony would have anything to do with him.
In fact, judging from the arithmetic award and the Gewu prize at the beginning, it really has nothing to do with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that when the medical award was awarded, Li Kuan would actually award it to Qi Duoduo.
That's a big deal.
On the one hand, Chebi Duoduo is a Turk, and all along, the Turks are not very bad in the army, and they have not been suppressed too deliberately.
Otherwise, however, little has been accomplished.
None of the Shinong merchants were taken by the Turks.
Look at the civil officials in the court, which one is a Turk?
As for farming, that is, in the past two years, with the support of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the Turkic people moved inward, and only then did they have Turkic farmers.
As for the craftsmen, not to mention, since ancient times it has not been what the steppe peoples are good at.
That is, in terms of business, there was an Ayina, which saved a little face for the Turks.
Now, the situation has been broken by Qi Duoduo.
Datang Royal Science and Technology Award Medical Award!
Look at the people present today, see who presents the awards, and know how high the gold content of this award is.
Besides, Chebi Duoduo is still a woman!
To put it mildly, Li Kuan alone let Qi Biduoduo win the award, which made an old fox like Ashinadur feel a lot more powerful in his heart for Datang.
It can be said that Li Kuan's move not only won over the hearts of the Turkic people, broke the cage of women's participation in academia like Chen Wumei's award, but also set a very good example for future generations.
"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very powerful. The Turks in Chang'an City are estimated to be all interested in the Chu Wangfu in the future. ”
In the crowd, Du Chuke looked at everyone's reactions, and gently reminded Li Tai in his ear.
"I used to think that the big brother was the biggest threat, but now it seems that the situation may be really difficult to say."
Li Tai stared at Li Shimin and Li Kuan who were presenting awards to Qibi Duoduo on the stage with an ugly face.
In the past two years, Lee Seung-gan's popularity has been declining at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and ministers have been impeached every three or five times by the DPRK and the Central Committee.
On the contrary, Li Tai's performance was even more loved by Li Shimin after it was revised into "The Chronicles of the Ground".
Although many ministers of the Central Committee have not yet stood in line, more and more of the sons and daughters of the nobles have begun to move closer to the Wei Palace.
Li Tai felt that within three years, he had the confidence to replace him.
However, now he found that Li Kuan's threat seemed to be growing.
Although it seems that Li Kuan has nothing to do with the throne, Li Tai saw that Li Kuan now has a close relationship with the military, and he is rich enough to rival the country, and he has also won the hearts of the majority of farmers.
In the long run, if Li Shimin is no longer there one day, will he be able to ascend the throne smoothly?
"Yes, it's time to plan ahead."
There are more people around, and Du Chuke can't say too much, so as not to have ears on the wall.
"The people take food as the sky, and some people say that there is no agriculture and instability. As an agricultural country, the significance of farmers to my Datang and the development of agricultural technology to my Datang should not be underestimated. ”
Li Kuan saw that Qi Duoduo had returned to his seat, and began to explain the last award.
In the eyes of many, the issuance of the Agronomy Award seems a bit unnecessary.
Although everyone recognizes the great significance of agriculture to Datang, deep down, they have never really put farmers in their hearts.
Otherwise, how could words like Tian Shenu become the most popular scolding words in Datang?
"Everyone must have felt the benefits of eating green vegetables in winter from the new style of woad, the improvement of crop seeds, the increase in crop yields, it may seem inconspicuous, but it can really change everyone's daily life, and even affect hundreds of years, thousands of years. In the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award, the Agronomy Award is specially set up to make everyone face up to the importance of agricultural technology development, agricultural product seed cultivation, and crop yield improvement. ”
At this moment, no one in the audience objected to this.
All in all, this is also the least controversial of the four awards today.
Although people don't usually take farmers seriously, no one will deny that agriculture is very important.
It doesn't matter if it's a thousand years ago or a thousand years later.
"Among the various colleges of Guanshishan Academy, there is such a group of students who have worked tirelessly to go everywhere to guide the immigrants to plant crops and study various ways to increase crop yields. As we all know, last year's Gangnam Province and Shannan Province ushered in a bumper harvest in the cultivation of new-style Nanyang rice, and according to the current situation, early rice will also be a bumper harvest. ”
"Against the backdrop of this bumper harvest, many people may not know that in Xiangyang County, Shannan Province, there is a piece of farmland in the area where the yield of rice is more than 20% higher than that of the surrounding areas. Many people may say that this is also normal, the land is fertile and the land is barren, the care is good or not, the planting is correct or not, will have a huge impact on the yield of rice, not to mention the difference of 20%, that is, the difference of 50%, it is also very normal. ”
Li Kuan said this, paused for a moment to see everyone's reaction.
In fact, these words are all true, but it is these truths that arouse everyone's curiosity.
Because everyone knows that the content behind Li Kuan is the focus.
These statements are certainly not wrong. However, in this area of Xiangyang County, the increase in rice production is not directly related to the fertility of the land. The answer is unexpected, and that is fertilizer! ”
As soon as Li Kuan's words fell, a buzzing discussion rang out in the audience.
Some people may have heard of the term fertilizer in the previous Datang Daily or Science magazine, but many more people have heard of the term for the first time.
It's a bit difficult to suddenly link chemical fertilizers to crop yields.
"What is fertilizer? The simple understanding is something that can make crops grow better. People are used to talking about whether the land is fertile or not, so what is fertile and what is not? This is actually to say whether the land is rich in materials that are conducive to the growth of crops. This shows from the side that the growth of crops needs to absorb some special substances. And this chemical fertilizer is to supplement these substances to crops in a targeted manner. ”
The use of chemical fertilizers has only just begun, and it is necessary for those who are here today to understand its importance if it is to be promoted more widely.
Yao Yuan, a student of Guanshishan Academy, who focuses on the research on the growth of chemical fertilizers on crops, discovered a phosphate mine in Xiangyang, and has basically determined the effect of phosphate fertilizer made from phosphate rock on the growth of rice through experimental comparison. The high-yield rice fields in Xiangyang County are the land where phosphorus fees are used......"
The next content, many people don't pay attention to.
For them, the use of phosphate fertilizers can increase the yield of crops, and it is enough to know this.
However, if others don't pay attention, it is impossible for Yao Yuan not to pay attention.
This time, the flying pigeon of the Chu Wangfu passed the book, and he hurried back to Chang'an, only to find that he was just letting himself participate in an award ceremony.
To be honest, he was disappointed when he first found out about it.
A new round of experiments in Xiangyang is now in full swing. 600
Datang Industrial's phosphate fertilizer workshop has just been put into production, and it will be able to be promoted on a large scale in the second half of the year.
Although when he returned to the academy, some classmates jokingly said that maybe he would be able to win the award.
However, Yao Yuan never thought of it this way.
In his opinion, he just studied the impact of phosphate rock on crops under the advice of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and did not do much.
Outcome......
When he heard his name come out of Li Kuan's mouth for the first time, his heart "clicked", and then he trembled involuntarily.
As a result, I didn't let myself wait long before I heard the final result.
I've won a prize!
Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for Agronomy!
His Majesty personally presented the award to himself!
"Yuan'er, hurry! Go up and claim your prize! ”
Yao Mosan's face was full of excitement and pushed the grandson next to him.
At the beginning, Yao Mosan, as the most famous prospecting and smelting craftsman who would be the supervisor, was dug up by the Chu Wangfu to the Wa Kingdom to engage in Shijian Yinshan.
To be honest, Yao Mosan was quite unhappy at the beginning.
However, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he still took root in Iwami Silver Mountain, and it wasn't until he became a teacher of Guanshishan Academy this year that he returned to Chang'an.
However, this overseas work trip has brought a major turning point in his life.
Originally, as a craftsman who would be a prisoner, even if the technical level was very high, he had no status.
Now as the teachings of Guanshishan Academy, it is different.
What surprised him even more was that his grandson Yao Yuan had now won the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for Agronomy.
I'm engaged in mining.
My grandson also studied this industry, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to win an agronomy award.
How could he not be excited?
Not to mention the sky-high bonus of 10,000 yuan, this honor alone is extraordinary.
To put it mildly, with this award, I am living in Guanshishan Academy in this life, and I can mix very comfortably.
"Ong, this ...... Could this be the same name and surname? ”
Yao Yuan still felt a little unbelievable that he had won the award.
"The students of Guanshishan Academy, who have been to Xiangyang County and found phosphate fertilizer, who else besides you? Where did you get so many duplicate names? ”
At this time, Yao Mosan, an experienced old man, finally calmed down, urging Yao Yuan to come to the stage with a smile on his face.
"It's really strange that this agronomy award is actually awarded to a student who studies mineral deposits, is this an agronomy award or a gewu award?"
Just when Yao Yuan came to the stage to accept the award, Kong Yingda and Sima Caizhang beside him muttered about their dissatisfaction.
Li Kuan rewarded agronomy, and Kong Yingda would definitely not object.
After all, among the Confucian ideas, the status of "agriculture" is still quite high.
However, the winner of the Agronomy Award is not what he imagined.
"Confucius Wine, according to the current situation, this agronomy award will only be awarded to those who study new crops and improve crop yields, such as farmers who are planting in the field, don't even think about it."
Sima Caizhang thought about it and felt that he had almost grasped the positioning of today's awards.
In fact, Li Kuan did not hide this either.
To put it bluntly, whether it is the Arithmetic Award, the Agronomy Award, or other awards, they all encourage everyone to carry out scientific innovation, invent and discover more new things.
……
According to the standards of later generations, the award ceremony of the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award is very simple, and can even be described as simple.
However, the impact on the noble people of Chang'an City is actually not small at all.
"Your Majesty, now it seems that the establishment of this Guanshishan Academy has made a lot of contributions to our Tang Dynasty."
On the way back to Daming Palace, Li Shimin shared a carriage with the princess of Chu.
Taking this opportunity, the princess of Chu naturally wanted to say good things to her grandson.
"It was really beyond my expectations, I thought that this Guanshishan Academy was just a small fight, serving the various workshops of the Chu Palace. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Not to mention that the emergence of Guanshishan Academy has led to the establishment of Qujiang Academy and Weishui Academy, it alone has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty. For example, the medical school, I heard that the affiliated medical hall under it is now the largest medical center in Chang'an City, and many people are willing to go there for treatment when they are sick. And the new things invented by the Gewu Academy every once in a while have also brought tangible benefits to everyone. ”
Li Shimin's words can be regarded as his heart's words.
As time passes, the influence of Guanshishan Academy is getting stronger and stronger year by year.
Now looking at the list of the annual scientific examinations, you will find that the proportion of students in Guanshishan Academy is getting higher and higher.
In the past, they could only be seen in the Ming Arithmetic Department, but now they are in other subjects such as Ming Medicine, and they are also full of students in Guanshishan Academy.
Even if it is the Ming Jing Department and the Jinshi Department, it is no longer an untouchable existence for the students of Guanshishan Academy.
Of course, Li Shimin also really saw that the existence of Guanshishan Academy was beneficial to Datang, so he would support Li Kuan to continue to develop and grow the academy.
Otherwise, such a force that is not very controlled by him, he will definitely intervene.
"Since the development of this academy has so many benefits to Datang, I think the imperial court can increase its support, even if the money can't be given, some land and honor should be given more. For example, the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award, in fact, the imperial court can consider awarding the winners some other titles, which is more attractive to craftsmen than anything else. ”
It was rare to mention to Li Shimin about the affairs of the court, and the princess of Chu simply said everything she wanted to say.
Anyway, this is not a taboo, Li Shimin can listen to it if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to listen, it won't hurt much.
"Niangniang, don't worry, I will arrange personnel to deal with it after I return to the palace. There are already several academies in Chang'an City, but they are not enough, and they can continue to open. In addition, in Luoyang, Jinyang, Liangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, the imperial court can also encourage the private and official to open more academies. ”
The more academies there are, the more opportunities there are for the children of the poor families and ordinary people to learn, which is very beneficial to inhibiting the continuous development of the Guanlong aristocracy and the Shandong scholars, and it is completely in line with Li Shimin's policy program, and he naturally wants to increase his support.
Even if the princess of Chu didn't say it, he had already thought about it.
Now it's even more smooth.
