The Royal Institute of Science and Technology soon entered the stage of official opening, and all the self-study materials of mathematics, physics and chemistry were distributed to the students. Zhang Jin was one of the 500 students, and after getting the self-study textbook, the courses of the Royal Academy also made him feel extremely novel.

Arabic numerals, alphabets, chemical formulas, physical formulas, etc., these things seem to open up an ocean of knowledge that has never been seen before.

The Royal Institute of Science and Technology is very interesting, in addition to distributing these textbooks, only one Xu Guangqi is the lecturer of the three basic courses of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Xu Guangqi only gives two lectures to the students every morning, and the rest are students who read the textbooks and study by themselves.

These self-study textbooks are compiled in great detail, as long as you read them carefully and spend some brains to study, there is no problem with self-study.

However, it is not these basic courses that interest Changjin, but other things at the Royal Academy of Science and Technology, which are far less boring than they imagined.

The Royal Institute of Science and Technology only has classes in the morning every day, and in addition to the two basic classes, there is also a 'political education class', which teaches a lot of things.

What nationalist ideas, what world geography.

The vast world depicted by Zhu Youxiao, as well as the situation in which European countries had bullied weak and small nations all over the world by virtue of their more backward technology than the Ming Dynasty, and thus the rapid development of military technology, also aroused great concern among the cadets.

Zhang Jin cleverly found that this political and educational class still preaches the idea of loyalty to the monarch. But it is different from the traditional way of etiquette, which is just to tell you to be loyal to the king, to be orderly and orderly, but why?

If this is involved, Confucianism will be involved in the Taoist system, and then sue you that the rules of nature are like this.

This kind of etiquette is no longer very suitable for this era, the tide of anti-etiquette in various parts of the Ming Dynasty has been turbulent, and the traditional etiquette education is indeed useless, and it has completely become a slogan.

However, in the political and religious class, he depicted the world outside of China, provoking their desire for affluence from the outside world and their worries about the rising Europa, and then proposing that the emperor was the representative of the national interest, and the emperor would lead everyone to the world to dig for gold.

Now that money worship has been formed, let's talk about interests! However, it does not directly talk about personal interests, but about national interests. Everyone's is national, and doesn't the nation's mean that everyone can get benefits?

A beautiful blueprint has been drawn.

Although Zhang Jin saw it, he had to admit that this way of propagating the idea of loyalty to the monarch was too powerful, even if he realized it, he still accepted it.

The students of the Royal Academy of Science and Technology are basically from poor backgrounds, and they have not been exposed to enough materials for a long time, and when they suddenly heard that the emperor was going to lead them to the seven continents and four oceans to explore national interests and let the people at the bottom live a good life, they were basically excited.

The effect of the political education course is very successful, and after the basic things of the political education course are taught, the following courses are basically to choose some current affairs and events as the theme to teach, mainly to guide the students' views on current affairs and events.

In addition to the political education class, the remaining class is the free exchange class, where students can exchange courses with each other. That's what happens when you talk to each other.

Anyway, I have nothing to do when I am full all day, so I pull a mat and sit down, talk about everything, and talk about anything. In the process of communication, progress is made.

There are no classes in the afternoons and evenings, but there are other activities.

The college will organize students to visit factories, Huangzhuang and mines, and at the same time visit production, students can form research groups.

What is a research group?

It's about researching all kinds of things!

In less than a week after the start of school, the agricultural research group under the leadership of Xu Guangqi set up three, one for wheat breeding, one for sweet potato breeding, and one for crop fertilization experiments.

What concepts such as hybridization, grafting, etc., as well as the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the fertilizers needed for crops, these things proposed by the emperor still need to be verified to know if they are true.

It didn't take long for biology to be added to the academy and a few newly manufactured microscopes were brought in, which were new products from the Liuli manufactory.

In addition to microscopes, there are also astronomical telescopes in the orders made by the glass manufacturing plant.

The first to be equipped with an astronomical telescope was the Qin Tianjian in the palace, which is a very important department in the palace, always observing the feng shui and luck of a country.

Feng Shui has been at the service of the powerful since ancient times. Ordinary people don't believe it, it's because there is no ruler who doesn't need them to believe it.

The level of the palace Qin Tianjian is still very high, and the biggest difference with the folk feng shui master is in astronomy. Folk feng shui masters basically only understand the mountains, but do not understand the rationality. The palace feng shui master, and the court feng shui master are both known.

This is mainly because all dynasties have forbidden folk private astronomy, and those who are caught will be beheaded, and it is normal for folk feng shui masters to not understand reason.

The Royal Academy of Science and Technology had access to astronomy, and Zhu Youxiao soon equipped the Royal Academy of Science and Technology with two astronomical telescopes.

The Royal College of Science and Technology, despite its lack of instructors, is definitely not a dull place. One by one, the students felt as if they had entered a new world, where there was always something they were interested in.

They learn and verify at the same time. For example, the three laws of mechanics (Newton's laws), such as the periodic table, such as various physical formulas, chemical reaction formulas.

As well as the knowledge of plant cells and the nutrients required by plants as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, after they learn, they will set up a research team to verify it, and after the verification is successful, they will start to study it as if it were for production application.

The Royal Academy of Science and Technology is basically a place to learn, verify, and practice at the same time.

Zhang Jin and the other students soon discovered that the knowledge of the Royal Academy of Science and Technology was simply a treasure, because they saw the Patent Law.

The research funds of the college are provided by the royal family, and 60% of the income from patents goes to the royal family, and 40% of the income goes to researchers, which can be described as extremely generous.

The reason why it is only sixty percent is mainly to ensure that the royal family can use these patents freely, and nothing else is very important. Forty percent of patent ownership can greatly motivate the enthusiasm of researchers.

These forty percent of the patents are assigned to the students of the research group, and each person is only a part. However, if the research is successful, the royal family will give them a generous bonus.

At the same time, as long as it is a topic proposed by the college, you can get a good salary for participating in it. The monthly salary is at least 100 yuan, such a generous treatment, so that a group of students from poor backgrounds are excited, but if you want to participate in these topics, there are corresponding requirements for basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, biology, fortunately, the Royal Academy of Science and Technology does not require them to be all-rounders, and there is no problem at all.

Why did the relationship between Ming officials and emperors always seem to be inseparable? The emperor formed a faction, and the officials formed a faction, playing with each other.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a long time after crossing over, and after comparing the economic system of the Song Dynasty, he found the essential problem, that is, the problem of Yulu.

In the Song Dynasty, the government-run economy was dominant, and the literati at that time could obtain social status and material wealth as long as they worked for the emperor, so the relationship between the officials and the emperor in the Song Dynasty was not tense, because the two sides had common interests.

In the Ming Dynasty, the private economy was dominant, and the emperor's salary to officials was very low. In the early period of the Republic of China, because of the simple social atmosphere and no luxury, everyone lived a plain life, and there was nothing bad about it. At that time, the officials were still relatively good.

However, in the middle and later periods, with the continuous development of the commodity economy, the growth of merchants led to the continuous spread of social luxury. At this time, the quality of life of honest officials was compared with that of businessmen, and their social status was also affected.

To put it bluntly, in a society where money worship is prevalent, poverty is the original sin!

Since the emperor could not give officials a high quality of life, and it also affected their social status, the officials' hearts were naturally unbalanced.

Lao Tzu has studied hard for 20 years, why is he not as good as a businessman in the end?

Thinking about it like this, they don't bother to deal with the emperor, anyway, the emperor doesn't give them money, so it's better to find a way to make some money by himself, and the emperor can deal with it.

Zhu Youxiao is now developing government-run capital, specifically royal capital, and at the same time suppressing private capital. With the silver in hand, you can also learn the model of the Song Dynasty and pay high salaries to officials.

Under the high salary and honesty, even if there will be corruption, at least it is still united in the chariot of the emperor's interests. It's like today's officials, who are corrupt and crazy to dig into the corners of the country. PS: The second update is here! Please ask for tickets and collections, it will be on the shelves on Friday, I hope you can support more!
