Chapter 57: The Concept of the Tang Academy of Sciences (4)
After a while, the silent Li Jing and Li Jingsui looked at each other, and Li Jingsui said with some embarrassment: "Zhishan, your ideas are very good, but how do the personnel of the research departments and departments solve it?" ”
"In the consideration of Weichen, the composition of the personnel is mainly composed of talents selected from the talent selection ceremony, and then with some capable officials with specialties in each department, first set up the basic structure, and then slowly supplement the personnel."
Of course, Lin Feng's idea will not be as simple as it seems, of course he wants to focus on obedient young newcomers, even if the foundation is poor, then spend more time and effort on centralized training, and give them a unified "enlightenment"; And some old officials may have basic knowledge and experience, but their thoughts must also be very stubborn, Lin Feng doesn't want to waste time arguing and debating with others every day.
"That-" Li Jingsui glanced at Li Jing, his face was even more embarrassed, and he said with some hesitation: "How did Zhishan consider studying the expenses together?" ”
Lin Feng pretended not to see Li Jingsui's embarrassed look, and said with a look that was not worth mentioning: "Your Majesty, King Qi, the scale of benefits that may be generated by various research projects will be unprecedentedly huge, compared with our initial investment, it is the ratio of the sea to a drop in the ocean. Of course, at the beginning of the launch, we need to build a huge research site, many test equipment, etc., and Wechen expects to invest about one million. ”
Ah, Li Jing and Li Jingsui basically froze. The annual tax revenue of Nantang is only about 7 million yuan, and the income and expenditure are basically balanced every year, how can they squeeze out such a huge amount?
Lin Feng seemed to realize that his appetite was too big now, so he had to frown and say: "All the research results in the research institute can be described as national secrets, and they must not be easily leaked to the world, so it is naturally appropriate to keep them all in the hands of the imperial court." Considering that the amount of research costs is somewhat huge, and it is bound to increase unabated, Wechen has an expedient measure that can allow the imperial court to save most of the money. ”
Oh, Li Jing and Li Jingsui's eyes lit up suddenly. This time, Li Jing couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked, "Aiqing, please speak." ”
"His Majesty and King Qi have both participated in the opening ceremony of the supermarket, and Wechen's idea is also associated with the celebration, that is, to raise funds through auctions and supermarkets." Lin Feng threw out a new concept, and without waiting for the two bigwigs to ask, he then said, "What Weichen means is that the imperial court only needs to contribute a small part of the start-up capital to lay a good foundation for the Academy of Sciences, and immediately after the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, special personnel will be allocated to develop some innovative inventions that are beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, just like the briquette machine and the Liuchun furnace, which can be auctioned for the use of its patents, and the proceeds will be mainly used to subsidize the Academy of Sciences, and the excess part will be returned to the imperial court; In the same way, it can also be carried out in the form of equity participation for cooperative production and sold to the whole country, of course, equity participation must ensure that the imperial court occupies a dominant proportion of shares, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen can participate, and you can also conduct share auctions! ”
Lin Feng's words sent the two of them into a state of contemplation again.
After a while, Li Jing raised his head and said: "Zhishan, the briquette machine and the Liuchun furnace have only been auctioned for more than 2,000 yuan, do you really have so much confidence in these innovative inventions?" ”
"Of course! In fact, it is because Weichen really has no energy and strength, otherwise, he would produce his own briquette machine and Liuchun furnace and sell them to the whole country, who in the world does not need a stove? Everyone who earns ten dollars is also a huge income like the sea! Lin Feng said with emotion.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng was despising Li Jingsui's vision in his heart, how many good inventions are waiting for him to take the initiative to plagiarize in the future, he will not be like in the past, he only knows how to use gunpowder to set off fireworks, and he will definitely maximize his benefits! It's like a table clock, inlaid with a few diamonds, I'm afraid that it can be sold for hundreds of dollars, shipped overseas, not to mention, a lot of gold and silver can be earned. There are also looms, new carriages, new boats, etc., Lin Feng is ready to make semi-finished products for auction and sale, and he will always keep the most advanced and top-of-the-line inventions in his hands.
Li Jingsui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Jing and Li Jingsui.
Li Jing pondered for a long time and said, "This is also a solution. Lin Aiqing, where do you plan to set up a research institute? Jinling City is still ......"
In fact, in Lin Feng's opinion, from the perspective of the environment, the most suitable place is the training base he has been using before. However, considering the various political factors of the Academy of Sciences, Lin Feng decided to "cherish that base".
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "There are several crucial influencing factors for the location of the Academy of Sciences: it is easy to keep secret, well-informed, and easy to control. At the same time, according to the content of the study, there must be mountains, water, waterfalls, and a certain space to facilitate secret research, and the terrain must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is really necessary to carefully select the location. ”
Hearing this, Li Jingsui looked up at Li Jing with an inquiring look.
Li Jing nodded, and Li Jingsui said mysteriously: "Zhishan, I have a place that is very suitable for these requirements. ”
Oh, Lin Feng was surprised, and looked at Li Jingsui suspiciously.
"There is a valley not far from the Qingliang Mountain Forbidden Army Training Ground, which is very secretive, just suitable for the requirements of Zhishan." After Li Jingsui finished speaking, he looked very reluctant. In fact, that valley is a secret base that the royal family of the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty has always retained, in case Jinling City is attacked, it will be used as a temporary hiding place for troops and shelter, otherwise, it will not set up a forbidden army training ground nearby, its main intention is to protect it from ordinary people.
"Wei Chen absolutely believes in King Qi's vision. The basic problems of funding and location have been solved, and Weichen still has a few suggestions that he wants to hear. Lin Feng continued.
"Aiqing, please speak." Li Jing also had a relaxed look on his face, a major event was basically settled, and he didn't have to worry too much, of course he was relaxed.
"First of all, since the Academy of Sciences is named science, it must follow the basic laws of science, and must pay attention to rationality and objectivity. Wechen asked His Majesty and King Qi to maintain a certain patience with all the research of the Academy of Sciences, because some of our ideas are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, exploring in the dark, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. Lin Feng hurriedly put forward this primary condition, patience is a virtue, you can't have small results in three days, and big results in five days, then I'm afraid that the gods can't do it.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, but then nodded. Li Jing never thought in his heart that he would quickly invent all kinds of sharp weapons, and then calm the world in one fell swoop, but reason told him that Lin Feng's reminder was right.
"Secondly, Weichen suggested that within the Academy of Sciences, we should really reward with hard work, get more for more work, and take flexible incentive measures in addition to the basic income, so that talented people have no worries and actively and spontaneously devote themselves to scientific research!" Lin Feng said the second note. It is not possible to have both stability and frequent results, which is not a scientific attitude. Lin Feng is ready to introduce a performance appraisal mechanism in the Academy of Sciences, in a word, he is ready to use money to smash people's passion and stimulate people's potential!
There is a lesson to be learned from the past. For example, the Southern Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the art of painting and calligraphy, and the earliest painting academy in China appeared in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and a large number of painters such as Gu Hongzhong, Zhou Wenju, Xu Xi, Wei Xian, and Wang Qihan are active in the art world. However, this semi-administrative form can activate a certain vitality in the first half, but once it moves towards pure administration in the later stage, it will be similar to the writers' association in later generations, and it is impossible for the classic works that have truly been passed down for centuries to be produced in a group like a writers' association! Therefore, Lin Feng does not want to make the Academy of Sciences a decoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty Painting Academy, but to build the Academy of Sciences into a sharp weapon to improve the politics, economy, military, and science and technology of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and finally become the biggest driving force for the rapid development of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Li Jing groaned slightly, nodded and agreed. Forget it, anyway, the big money doesn't need the imperial court, just let Lin Feng's method get it!
"The last suggestion, Wechen Mao recommended himself, hoping to make a modest contribution to the Academy of Sciences." Lin Feng unceremoniously wanted to become an official! On the one hand, he wanted to control part of the research and invention by himself, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that a layman would come to a pure bureaucrat and completely abolish the Academy of Sciences!
Li Jing and Li Jingsui looked at each other and smiled, Li Jing smiled and said: "These novelties that Aiqing came up with, others don't understand, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to be leisurely!" In a word, Lin Feng has basically been determined to be one of the heads of the Academy of Sciences.
Lin Feng hurriedly knelt down and thanked him!
Li Jing waved his hand, told him to get up, and then asked: "By the way, back to the original question, Aiqing hasn't said anything about the talent ceremony." ”
For this question, Lin Feng had already been prepared, and once again took out a thick folded piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Li Jing.
This is what Lin Feng has carefully prepared in the past few nights, and it is all his ideas about the talent ceremony, including all the processes and details.
