Galileo's voltammetry experiment provided the possibility for the emergence of generators in the future and the possibility of the Ming Dynasty entering the electric age on the basis of the steam age in the future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is still too early to say this, from the stage of mastering electricity in the laboratory to the stage of application to practice, in the meantime, there is still a long way to go, and it is not enough to rely on a Galileo, and this needs more inspiration.

Today's Ming Dynasty will still develop in the steam power era for a long time, and the engineers of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Ordnance Department are still interested in the improvement of the steam engine.

Because the winner of the last Daming Supreme Science and Technology Award was the inventor of the steam-powered chariot and steam-powered warship, it also greatly promoted the interest of scientific researchers in steam engines, not only scientific researchers, but also students who applied for the Beijing Normal University Hall or other technical schools were more interested in steam dynamics.

In this way, Daming's majors also have a hot and unpopular division, popular such as classics, history, steam dynamics and medicine, candidates are flocking to it, and unpopular such as mechanics, mathematics, law, etc.

For example, traffic engineering, a new major that has just been created in the hall of Beijing Normal University, although the nominal management is Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, that is to say, he has become a protégé of the scholar of the hall when he enters this major, but there are still very few people who apply for this major, the reason is very simple, in this era of only post stations and bus stations, the students of Daming still think that they can only be a post man when they learn this.

As everyone knows, as soon as the steam-powered locomotive appeared and the world's first railway began to be built in Daming, every student of traffic engineering became a sweetheart, and as soon as he graduated, he directly became a railway official with more than seven grades.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Sometimes, talent, like other commodities, will be adjusted according to the laws of the market, and the relationship between supply and demand will change from time to time. For example, due to the reform of Zhu Youxiao, there is more and more demand for professional officials in the Ming Dynasty, which also leads to more and more people giving up the township examination or the general examination and directly entering Beijing to apply for the corresponding school and directly seek official positions.

After all, for most of the talented people, it is impossible to kill all the way to the examination and then the title of the gold list, not to mention, in order to promote a large number of outstanding talents not to spend their energy on the road of the imperial examination, Zhu Youxiao adopted a policy of low entry and high exit, that is, at the level of showing talents and lifting people, the admission rate has increased, and the number of students and people in each county has increased tenfold.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also stipulated that those who graduated from various local schools or Beijing Normal Secondary School could directly become tribute supervisors, and those who graduated from Beijing Normal University Hall could directly become eunuchs, and the secretaries who were specially recruited by scientific research units such as the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Ordnance Department and the Hanlin Academy were also directly awarded the birth of students, and the scholars were born as scholars.

As a result, it has led to a sharp increase in the entire Ming Dynasty, not only the number of students and the number of people who have made great achievements, but also the number of students and scholars, because Zhu Youxiao only has the quota of one or two top jinshi, but the number of top three jinshi has been expanded to three hundred, so the number of students and people and the top three jinshi is more, and its gold content has decreased, but the probability of becoming a top and second class jinshi is also lower, and the difficulty of the title of the gold list is higher.

In particular, it is difficult for poor students from poor families to go to the end, after all, the cost is not low, so it is better to go directly to Beijing to seek an official position in the royal scientific research unit or corporate bank, or even local scientific research, enterprises, banks, etc. After all, although the difficulty of the title of the gold list has increased a lot, the difficulty of being an official has decreased even more.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao also intended to strengthen the specialization and counterpart of the Ming officials, in order to lay the foundation for the future system of the Ming officials, as long as there are more officials of various specificities, there will be more officials, especially middle and lower-level officials, to support their own administrative reform, after all, only through reform, these huge middle- and lower-level officials will have the hope of advancing to high-level officials or even entering the cabinet as cabinet ministers.

I am afraid that if the time comes, if we still follow the previous rules that non-Hanlin are not allowed to enter the cabinet, and non-jinshi are not allowed to be high-ranking officials, before Zhu Youxiao can say it, there will already be a large number of officials complaining, and even negative responses, once the imperial court does not give a large number of middle- and lower-level officials the hope of advancement, and the promotion only depends on their background, which will only reduce the enthusiasm of a large number of low-level officials, prompting them to only know how to accumulate wealth and have no enterprising spirit, but will aggravate the corruption of officials.

When Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the situation to change the system of Ming officials' narration and subdivide the six major central yamen again, and the local yamen would also be subdivided, it would be much less difficult. After all, there are more yamen with this kind of second-grade Shangshu sitting in the hall, and there are more opportunities to be a high-ranking official and glorify the ancestors.

Increase the difficulty of the admission of the Jinshi, maintain the high threshold for the admission of the first and second class Jinshi, and at the same time relax the difficulty of becoming a student and lifting people, and also play a role in promoting the popularization and promotion of basic education.

Therefore, before Zhu Youxiao established a school department and began to carry out a pilot reform of universal education, a large number of students had already increased in the number of private social schools in the private schools of social studies, and a large number of new social studies and academies had sprung up in various places.

Not only teachers, but also managers of various schools and new institutions in various places, all kinds of managers in various places, have a great demand, because the rapid development of the economy has made the employment situation in Daming very good, especially the demand for people with a certain knowledge base, thus promoting the development of education in Daming.

Simple manual labor production can still use a large number of displaced people and prisoners of war to make up for the needs of the development of the Ming Dynasty, but a large number of technical and knowledge-based management personnel can only be achieved through universal education, which is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao is eager to develop basic education, he wants to implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education in the Ming Dynasty, he can not only take into account the development of science and technology, but also have to keep up with the cultivation of talents in the early stage.

But now Daming has obviously been out of touch in this regard, which is also the consequence of Zhu Youxiao's abuse of the golden finger, resulting in the current scientific and technological development of Daming has far exceeded the highest level of scientific and technological development that should be achieved by the accumulation of knowledge in this era, and now only vigorously develop education to catch up at the fastest speed.

Otherwise, it may still be caught up or even surpassed by the Renaissance Europa, after all, almost all people in Europa now who have a little knowledge base are interested in natural science, and almost all of them are engaged in the research of experimental science.
