Chapter 517: The Awkward Academy of Sciences
No one can change the adaptation that the emperor has decided, but in the limited time, everyone still wants to do what they can.
As much as possible, it will create better conditions for the emperor's future travel and create a more stable rear.
But everything is inseparable from people.
The current Han court can be said to be excessively empty, and there is a serious lack of departmental staffing.
Especially in engineering, so far, there is still only one Wang Ji.
Even Wang Ji, after completing the innovation of agricultural tools, did not come up with any technology that could make people shine.
It's not that Wang Ji is not powerful enough, but everyone knows that there is no savior in this world.
No one can solve all problems, and not every time he encounters a problem, he will do a good job and solve it.
If you pin your hopes on just one person, then the country is completely doomed.
In other words, a large-scale scientific research project cannot be done by one person.
There may be several, dozens of different teams, adding up to tens of thousands of people together It took several years to complete.
Therefore, at this moment, Luoyang Academy is not easy.
The Emperor's trip has been decided, and the only thing that is not certain is only a matter of time, but it is not a problem.
But before the emperor can travel, there are a few things that must be resolved.
For example, to improve the productive capacity of the Academy of Sciences.
And when it comes to this Academy of Sciences, the ministers are still speechless.
There are currently only two people in this unit, the dean Wang is not hungry, and the director is Wang Ji.
In ancient times, there was one thing that was actually the same as in modern times, that is, the level of the department boss, that is, the level of the unit.
The emperor is personally in charge of the Academy of Sciences, how should this level be determined?
Okay, let's not talk about that for now.
There is only one Wang Ji who is really doing things, and he goes to talk about peace and output?
As for the Academy, how useful is this thing?
No one can say this at the moment, but one thing is certain.
That is the degree to which the emperor attaches importance to this department, and with the emperor personally holding the position of president of the Academy of Sciences, the ministers of the court do not dare to ignore this department with only one staff.
But what's even more a pity is that Wang Ji doesn't have any good projects at present.
It can be said that this is the only department that has no upper limit on funding, as long as his budget is submitted, it only needs to be reviewed by the household department and the appropriation will be directly approved.
However, because Wang Ji did not have a project, he did not submit a project budget allocation.
Everyone knows the emperor's expectations for the Academy of Sciences, but now it looks like this, so it is inevitable to worry.
However, this kind of thing is not something that one or two people can talk about.
To put it more simply, everyone is forced to see that the Academy of Sciences can be busy.
But if the Academy of Sciences wants to be busy, it must first have enough people, and if the Academy of Sciences wants to have people, it must have a large basic population.
There are few engineering people in the whole industry, where to find higher-level talents?
Well, these may be a bit one-sided.
But it does not prevent the bigwigs from making plans and arrangements.
So, after another close conversation with Wang Ji, the three bigwigs crossed the emperor and directly gave the latest instructions to Wang Ji.
And after returning to Luoyang Academy, Wang Ji was also full of sadness.
After successfully researching graders, Wang Ji was invited to become an engineering teacher at Luoyang Academy.
Similarly, in order to make up for the problems of engineering students as soon as possible, Luoyang Academy conducted a mapping test for the engineering of county schools.
It can be regarded as skipping the level and raising fifty people to make up two classes, which can be regarded as solving the embarrassing situation that there are dozens of teachers and no students in the entire engineering department of the highest university in the Han Dynasty.
Throughout the day, Wang Ji felt a little powerless.
"Father, today the three high-ranking officials found their son, saying that they want their son to recruit people as soon as possible, build the shelves of the Academy of Sciences, and then try to do a few projects, if the big projects can't be won, they will first engage in small projects to accumulate experience, but the son is really helpless now, the ability of a few apprentices under his command is not enough, the students of the academy have just come up for a year, although the foundation of the county school is not bad, but after arriving at Luoyang Academy, they still need to learn a lot of things, and according to His Majesty's ideas, even if they graduate, It is impossible for a moment and a half to enter the Academy of Sciences. When he returned home, Wang Ji found his father directly.
Wang Ling is also a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and he has some connection with his own Academy of Sciences.
Moreover, after being an official for so many years, the experience is naturally not comparable to himself.
The most important thing is that there is no shame in asking your father about these issues, and you don't have to worry about being deceived and being secretly hacked.
"Huh? Can't graduate and enter the Academy of Sciences? Wang Ling didn't expect this, and Wang was not hungry and didn't mention it to him.
Of course, he knew that the emperor was strict with the Academy of Sciences, but didn't Wang Ji enter the Academy of Sciences without graduating from the Academy?
Although the current Academy of Sciences does not know about it at all, and has never heard of it.
"Your Majesty said that the engineering of the academy teaches some basic knowledge, and after graduation, they can be qualified for some technical positions in the Ministry of Engineering, and they can also go to the industrial zone to serve in technology-related positions, but it is far from enough to enter the Academy of Sciences."
"The final positioning of the Academy of Sciences is not a yamen with management functions like the Ministry of Industry, but a very pure academic yamen without any management nature, here only needs to be responsible for raising questions and solving problems.
"And with the use of graders, which has greatly improved the efficiency of farming, His Majesty once told his son that if the answer given by his son was not this, but a very ordinary answer, then his son may be able to graduate, but at most he will be assigned to the county, or the county." Wang Ji said with a sad face.
"Then did Your Majesty say what kind of person can enter the Academy of Sciences?" Wang Ling asked.
What else is there to hide from your father?
Besides, I still expect my dad to give me ideas.
So he continued: "Your Majesty said that there are two kinds of people, one is the one who can take out things that are not available now when they graduate, or they have made great improvements to improve their efficiency several times compared to the original, and the second is to study with the teacher after graduation, similar to the apprentices that my son is bringing now, when they reach the level, they will be able to enter the Academy of Sciences." ”
"Don't need a scientific expedition?" Wang Ling frowned tightly, this operation is a bit commotionous.
"There is no need in the early stage, and after the basic number of people in the later stage comes up, there will be new assessment rules......"
