"That's not right, isn't it you who have the highest status in China now?" , Morrison subconsciously questioned, but as soon as he spoke, he realized the problem and stopped talking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sure enough, Li Hui replied with a smile, "Yes, but I'm also a scientist!" ”

However, such an answer did not completely dispel Morrison's doubts, so Li Hui further explained, "In the past, one of the necessary conditions for becoming a Moist was to first become an expert in a certain field; In the future, China will have similar requirements for the selection of officials, at least at the middle and senior levels. Of course, this category is much broader than the general concept of scientific and technological experts, such as the military, which is basically beneficial to the country and the people, and pays attention to teamwork, and the results can be repeated and promoted, and it does not only include the scientists and engineers you in the West. ”

"In fact, it is somewhat similar to the previous 'imperial examination' in China, except that the content of the assessment is changed from ...... Writing ability (writing articles in Chinese has meanings other than literal, and there is no strict corresponding phrase in English, so it can only be translated like this.) Replaced with a variety of professional skills," Li Hui added with a smile.

Speaking of which, Li Hui has always believed that the imperial examination itself is actually a fairly advanced system, just like the examination-oriented education that has been criticized for many years in later generations, but the problem with both is that the content of the examination is wrong, so it has not really played its due role, after all, since it is around the examination, then the content of the examination is very important, if the content of the examination is not correct, what is the use of the form?

Historically, the imperial examinations (especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the Baguwen was adopted) have left China's most intelligent and studious people in a pile of old papers that have not learned any real skills, resulting in a large number of nerds who are useless and even harmful to the country, and even those who are not abolished inevitably waste a lot of youth. There is nothing more absurd in the world than to select talents, but in fact it is a waste of talents.

To make matters worse, science and technology, which also requires a large number of intelligent people to study, have become less and less popular, resulting in the development of China's science and technology becoming slower and slower, and finally overtaken by Europe, which once lagged behind the leader because of the barbarian invasion interrupted the development process, and the gap is getting wider and wider......

Li Hui, on the other hand, uses science and technology as a stepping stone to becoming an official, which can force all smart people in China to delve into science and technology, although it may be a waste of talent to let scientists become officials (but what to look out for, many departments of modern government really have experts in charge, let alone enterprises). However, when the status and treatment of scientific researchers are also very good, those who really love scientific research may not necessarily enter the officialdom to join in the fun.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that it is often difficult for those outstanding scientists to have excellent political talents at the same time because of the problem of thinking mode (so in history, the Mohist family is actually bound to perish, and it is rare for a millennium to find Mozi who is both excellent). When a petty official is angry at both ends, where can it be compared with being respected as a university scholar?

Therefore, Li Hui believes that under such a system, in the future, the vast majority of China's top scientific research talents should choose to engage in the most suitable jobs for them, and with China's terrifying population base and intelligence, after the comprehensive popularization of basic education, even if only half of the domestic talents suitable for scientific research remain in the field of scientific research, the speed of scientific and technological development will certainly be unimaginably fast, and even after all the research on system science and technology is completed, China's scientific and technological level will still be ahead of the world.

Although under such a system, the political level of future national leaders may not be too high, but in the industrial age, a super-large China with leading science and technology is already invincible, not to mention that the "science and technology" mentioned by Li Hui includes military science and technology, and it is also in a broad sense. In the future, China will be dominated by scholars, technicians and soldiers, and will implement an upgraded version of the "ploughing and warfare route", that is, production and military affairs above all else, and Li Hui is full of confidence in her future!

And such a system is not only a huge attraction for Chinese scientists, foreign scientists are also difficult to refuse such a temptation, although the Western powers also attach importance to science and technology, but they implement a capitalist system, scientists and engineers want to make a fortune, can only be like Edison, Nobel like their own business boss, but after all, there are very few scientific and technological experts with this talent and opportunity.

For those pure scientific and technological experts who do not have business talents, even if they have the ability, the income is not high, after Tesla solved a major technical problem for Edison, the latter did not even give a mere 50,000 US dollars, and it was a bonus that had been promised in advance, you must know that Tesla is already the world's top engineer, even he is not worth 50,000 US dollars, what is the situation of other scientific and technological experts, you can imagine.

If you have high-value practical technology patents, then the situation will be better, but unless you can afford to start a company with it, you still can't make a fortune, because the capitalist system will invisibly restrict any profession other than the capitalist from obtaining top wealth, especially before the emergence of the Soviet Union (after the emergence of the Soviet Union, the capitalist countries had to prove the superiority of their system, so other professions also had the hope of making a lot of money, but compared with the top capitalists, it was still a big difference). ）。

In many novels that travel through history, there are plots where the protagonist sells one or two invention patents to make a fortune and get the first pot of gold, but in reality, those large companies will not pay a high price to buy them, and some of them have a way to get the patent at a low price, and if they sell the patent directly in their personal capacity, they will not survive more than $1 million before World War I.

The potential of technology shareholding is greater, but if the patent holder himself does not have the talent for business and struggle, the shares will be snatched by the major shareholders sooner or later, and it is better to sell them directly if the benefits that can be obtained in the end are not good......

And if a scientific and technological expert has the ability to keep his shares, or even to be anti-customer-oriented, then he can really make a fortune, but he will make a fortune in the way of a capitalist, not his own job.

Li Hui believes that China's new system will have a huge appeal to them, and Morrison, who does not seem to have expected so much, will unconsciously help him spread the news to the West...... (To be continued.) )
