"Subjective initiative, this is really good, what do you think is better?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Actually, it's not difficult, we just set up a category according to what they learn and set up a special category, such as scientists. The so-called scientists are to study all the scientific laws of nature, and then artificially control these scientific principles of nature, with the research and development of these technologies, we people fly into the sky is very simple. Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Flying into the sky? It's true? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

"Of course it's true, it's not a difficult thing, Your Majesty Kong Ming Lantern You should know, use better materials, make a bigger Kong Ming lantern, we call it a hot air balloon, make a hanging basket below, transport a dozen people without any problem, and you can also freely control the altitude, and then fly in the air."

"But the hot air balloon is only a beginner, and the more advanced ones we call an airplane, for example, like this......" Huo Gang thought about it, simply took a piece of paper from the table next to him, began to fold out the appearance of a paper airplane, and then flew forward.

In the eyes of the four people, the paper airplane flew a few meters and then fell to the ground, Huo Gang signaled Chang Lin to pick it up, and after Chang Lin picked it up, Huo Gang handed the paper airplane to Li Shimin: "Oh, this is the principle of the airplane, if the volume of this thing is enlarged tens of thousands of times, it can transport four or five hundred people in it without any problem, we call it aerodynamics." ”

"The air is buoyant, this is not difficult to understand, I believe Your Majesty, you have all seen the kite, the wings of the plane are actually similar to the kite, but the power, in fact, is a bit like the power of the train, if you install a similar machine in the belly of the aircraft, install a vent behind the wings of the aircraft, or a propeller, then there is enough power to drive such a huge volume into the air. And at that time, maybe it only took two hours from Yumen Pass to Chang'an. Huo Gang smiled and roughly explained.

"This ......" Li Shimin and they were dumbfounded, the original train had exceeded their imagination, two hours of plane? This...... They simply couldn't understand what that meant.

"All of these need to ...... Scientists, you say? Li Shimin looked at Huo Gang with a solemn expression.

"Yes, even the big man can't make the plane now, but I believe it will not be difficult to see it in my lifetime, and these are all scientists who need to learn Gewu, which we call physics, mathematics, and chemistry can only be developed."

"It's not that Confucianism is not important, if Confucian culture, literacy and hyphenation, and the study of classics are the foundation of all things, then the doctrines of physics are the advanced ideas for us to understand this nature, Your Majesty, don't you want to be left behind? Not to mention anything else, just the train, if you don't understand those principles, you Datang will never be able to make a train, and it can't be made by drawing a cat and a tiger. ”

"So, Your Majesty, do you think these scientists are important?" Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Important." Li Shimin took a deep breath, Huo Gang had already said this, how could he not be clear.

"I understand what you mean, if that's the case, I think it's very necessary to improve the status of these scientists, you can set up different grades for these scientists, and then give them different treatment according to different levels, but even if it's the most junior scholar, the treatment should not be lower than the original reader." Li Shimin immediately pondered.

"Father, I think there are a lot of scholars now, in fact, in many positions, these scholars who study mathematics and Gewu are more suitable to serve as professional officials in these aspects, which means that the demand for the number of original officials in the Tang Dynasty has decreased, so the treatment and status of most of the scholars should be reduced." Li Chengqian also added a sentence next to him.

"This is not good, if the treatment and status of the scholars are directly reduced now, this is also digging the foundation of all the gate valve families, although there is the previous foreshadowing, but it is impossible for the gate valve family to agree to such conditions, and not only the gate valve family, including ordinary readers, will also oppose us, although the number of those poor children is not much." Li Shimin shook his head directly, he and these gate valve families can be said to have started fighting since before they became emperors, and he knows them very well.

"However, if we don't reduce the status and treatment of scholars, then the burden on the Datang government will be too high, if we add a group of scientists, the Datang government can bear it at present, but it will definitely not be able to bear it in the future. It is not easy to remove the previous tax exemption policy, and if it continues to increase because of the addition of one more group at this time, it will be even more difficult to revoke it later. Li Chengqian knows very well what the consequences of such a policy will look like.

Li Chengqian knows it, Li Shimin, Li Ke and Li Tai naturally all know it, Huo Gang is just watching from the side, he doesn't participate in this, his experience in these aspects is not as sufficient as Li Shimin, with Li Shimin's ability, he has a lot more experience than Huo Gang.

"Well, it's a problem, but it's not difficult to solve it, so you can strengthen your status and treatment." Li Shimin pondered for a while, and immediately had a way.

"Strengthen?" Li Chengqian was directly stunned, didn't he mean revocation? How does this have anything to do with strengthening?

"Yes, strengthening, it's very simple, in the future, the readers will also be graded, and these scientists are the same, although they have different names, but they have the same classification, we strengthen the treatment of the top few levels of scientists and readers."

"You have all heard what Huo Gang said just now, scientists who can reach the top few levels or traditional scholars, these are all talents, give them increased treatment, Datang will not lose, to put it bluntly, even if they are given more things, how much can they actually take? But in this way, it can eliminate the vigilance of the gate valve family. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I understand, father, what you mean is that these gate valve families have the best resources, so almost all of the readers who have reached the highest level must be from these gate valve families, which means that we have reduced the treatment of ordinary readers, that is, the largest wave of the group, and then increased the treatment of these high-level readers, so in the end it is these gate valve families that benefit."

"At least they think so, because they believe they have the best resources, so they won't object, and if we eliminate the treatment and status of the largest group of ordinary readers, like these better ones, we should really encourage them, and in this case, the other group will pass naturally." Li Ke instantly understood Li Shimin's intentions.

"Yes, that's true, we have the previous imperial examination system to operate such grading, and then conduct separate examinations." Li Shimin nodded seriously and said.

At present, the imperial examination system in Datang is divided into three times in Datang, the initial Gongsheng subject, that is, the students who have completed the study of Mengxue have passed the most basic examination, which is called Gongsheng, or Xiucai.

And then go up is the government test, after the test, it is called lifting, the highest level is the provincial test, that is, the examination of Datang Shangshu Province, the one who passes is called Jinshi, and the first place is the champion.

As for the palace examination, there is no palace examination in Datang at present, and the current imperial examination of Datang is basically these few times.

According to this, it is also possible to distinguish grades, Huo Gang has already understood Li Shimin's thoughts, in fact, the imperial examination is not just such a simple statement, there are all kinds of exams in it, such as those that specialize in arithmetic, these are actually there, don't think that the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty are really all about sage words, that is, Confucianism.

Even if there is no Huo Gang, then the Tang Dynasty in history is also tested for these, but the so-called policy theory and Confucianism occupy a very important position. Because almost all of the people who control the government are these people.

"In this way, we can increase the treatment of people and Jinshike, and we also set up relevant examination subjects on the scientist side. However, at this level, you may need Huo Gang's help. Li Shimin turned to Huo Gang.

Huo Gang smiled, he thought of the professional level exam in later generations from Li Shimin's words, well, for the current Datang, there is no problem in strengthening this aspect of the exam.

"There is no problem, this is actually simple, according to different disciplines, such as mathematics, according to the difficulty of different exams, you can divide a few more registrations, divided into 13579 such as different levels of exams, and the content of different grades of exams is also different, and the benefits are naturally different."

"For example, the first level is actually similar to the person who has achieved the fame of talent after the end of Mengxue. As for the more advanced ones, when the time comes, I can give you a knowledge grading according to the mathematics topic, according to my plan, if you are a mathematician who exceeds the fifth level, Your Majesty can give him the welfare treatment according to the county order of a county, if you have passed the ninth level, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to give him the treatment of the prime minister of a country. Huo Gang gave an example.

"For example, physics and chemistry can also take the same graded exam, and if you get three categories of high-level exams at the same time, such a person is definitely a real talent, a talent who can guide a country's scientific and technological progress, and that kind of scientist who can study trains and other aspects by himself." Huo Gang added.

"However, these benefits, I think they can be increased appropriately, but it is best to belong to the kind of individual, not inherited. Because this is the academic status, and scholarship is always about personal achievement, and their children cannot enjoy this academic status. ”

In this case, their children may have been influenced by them from an early age, and they will be more diligent. I don't know the treatment they are given, but in terms of status, I think, for example, that they are at the same level as officials, for example, they can meet His Majesty directly, for example, their social status is the same as that of the prime minister, and the top ones can be secretly protected by the Tang Imperial Forest Army all year round, etc. Huo Gang gave several examples.

In this day and age, status is more attractive than money.

"You have a good idea!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly, "I can even give them some honorary titles, these rights seem big, but in fact there are no actual rights, they are all honors, such honors are very popular with readers, but the impact on Datang is minimal, it doesn't matter how many honors there are." ”
