Despite the dissuasion, the emperor went to the newly completed Academy of Sciences.

It is located in the west of the imperial city, and it is nothing more than four houses with upturned eaves and a six-story pagoda with a gilded roof, but it contains a lot of emperor's thoughts.

In the past year, the Son of Heaven has made the cabinet pay more attention, and the silver of the household department has always been sufficient, otherwise where can it be in a year?

The candidate for the president of the Academy of Sciences, Zhu Houzhao found Zhang Tianrui, who has been working silently for many years.

Zhang Tianrui was a person who followed the emperor very early, and he didn't come in handy for so many years, but because he was timid and didn't dare to mess around, he was doing well.

This time, the Academy of Sciences needed such a person, so they invited him out of their home.

Zhu Houzhao also thought that the ancients did not understand the importance of the word science, so he did it himself, and he came here to guide them to build a structure and clarify the direction.

Prior to this, Wang Wei had clearly explained the 'application' system that day, but it was still not enough.

Zhu Houzhao led the crowd to walk in this newly completed garden-like courtyard, and said to them: "After the completion of the Academy of Sciences, it will be jointly managed by a Council of Elders composed of many people, Zhang Tianrui was invited by me, he is the dean, and he is also the first elder of the Council of Elders, representing the court and me, and conveying the meaning of me.

The other elders are the most powerful people in various professions, such as the divine doctor Tan Yunxian, such as Zuo Zonglu, who is proficient in architecture, and Wu Hailei, a master of arithmetic, etc., and you go to find the top people in the fields of shipbuilding, navigation, cotton spinning, etc., as long as he is really talented, I will give him the name of the elder of the academy. Elders have official status and have no authority, but they have ranks, rank and rank four, and they are supported by the imperial court, and those with low official positions do not kneel. ”

When the emperor said this, everyone under the steps made a sound, and it seemed that they had not expected it.

"There are groups under the Council of Elders, and an elder can be a member of several groups, with the aim of working together to find a solution to a problem, and of course, if it is completely unrelated to his or her field of expertise, you can ignore the invitation of these groups."

Zuo Zonglu is a person, in fact, he has touched a little bit of mechanics, every time someone asks for a big building, he can say something. In recent years, because of the rise of the city that never sleeps, there have been many such constructions in Beijing, and he has also made a name for himself.

He spoke up: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of group to set up? ”

Zhu Houzhao put his left hand behind his back, and kept making gestures with his right hand, "There are two ways to produce a group, one is directly appointed by the imperial court, and the following tasks are so that the Academy of Sciences is looking for specialized talents to overcome, for example, I feel that the current artillery still needs to be improved, so I ordered the Academy of Sciences to prepare and solve it, after Zhang Tianrui received the order, he set up such a group, and when it reached a certain period of time, the results were tested, and so it was a cycle."

The second way is to produce your own within the Academy of Sciences, you people are very intelligent, the court is willing to give you space, let you play your own wisdom, on the one hand, to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, on the other hand, but also to win the name of your own life, in the future, to get ahead, glorious ancestors, isn't it beautiful? ”

There will be no complicated administrative structure design here, as long as anyone enters the academy, the imperial court will issue a normal life of the royal court, they only need to concentrate on research.

Of course, this may cause some people to take advantage of this vulnerability to eat here, but it is a sacrifice that must be made.

Innovation is the most whimsical thing, and if you worry about your three meals all day, then no matter how imaginative you are, you can only do some work to make a living, and you don't need to talk about anything else.

It is true that the imperial court can strengthen the control of the access system, and pay attention to selecting really smart people to come to the Academy of Sciences. In this way, if there are still fish that slip through the net, it will be one word - recognition.

Of course.

Just think of it as an investment, raise 100 people, as long as there is 1 genius among them, the income is completely enough, and it is a big profit, why don't you admit it?

If you really want to be able to 'exchange', for example, if you raise a thousand people to ensure a steam engine, then this business can be done by everyone, right?

Zhu Houzhao said: "In the name of an elder, I sometimes have a lot of things to rely on, just take firearms, artillery is a solid bullet, not powerful enough, I want to replace it with gunpowder bullets. It didn't work even when it rained, and I wanted to overcome it. It's all about finding a way to get away from manufacturing and improving the process at the same time, and any problem has to be pondered. In a word, the Academy of Sciences is an institution that I specially found to ponder these issues for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world. ”

For these people, it can be regarded as a stroke of luck, and they have not been admitted to the imperial examination in this life, but God suddenly opened a door and asked the emperor to 'beg' them.

"We are willing to serve the emperor!"

"It's not me, it's the ministers, I just said, you are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the elders are the fourth grade, and the members of each group are the seventh grade, if you serve at the same time, of course it will be high or low."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

……

……

It's early afternoon.

Cabinet Wang Wei and Zhang Tianrui came to report.

Several of the previously mentioned groups are written in the transcript above.

Zhu Hou glanced at it, "Have you found any experts in this area?" ”

"There are firearms, and the Ordnance Bureau has found one. However, salt is ...... The minister didn't know before, but he had already sent someone to the salt field to find it, and the same was true for textiles. ”

"Okay."

In fact, there are a lot of details of these things, Zhu Houzhao was not a professional in his previous life, he basically just built a framework, and the remaining details should be added slowly.

As for really doing a good job in subject design, curriculum design, etc., from the beginning, then this is embarrassing for him.

And the things that are hundreds of years later may not be suitable for the current Ming Dynasty, it is taboo to rigidly copy the rules, and the ancients themselves are also very smart, with a framework, let the people who do things explore on their own, and the future may not be very bad.

"I take this very seriously, it's June ......," he pondered, "set a time, right?" Set at ...... In Layue, there were relatively few affairs between the DPRK and China at that time. I took the time to listen to the elders and team leaders of the Academy of Sciences report on the progress of the project in hand, and if the progress is rapid, it will soon be put into practical use, and I will not hesitate to reward it! ”

Wang Wei and Zhang Tianrui showed excitement, as long as the emperor is diligent in government, the country will always get better and better.

The feudal bureaucracy is not without power, although it is inefficient and corrupt, but if it is useless, how can it rule such a large territory and such a huge population? The fact is that the Son of Heaven is diligent in his administration, and his concerns will certainly change to a certain extent.

"Yes!" Elder Wang Wei's face was full of smiles, "The minister will summon the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Heavenly Prison to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to help Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao planned that if there was such a 'program' every year, the New Year would not be so boring, and the New Year would be really happy.

The Son of Heaven and the elder of the pavilion were happy, and Zhang Tianrui was also happy, and he expressed his loyalty after the joy, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will supervise them to make results as soon as possible, and the emperor will inevitably have good intentions." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him, "You don't want bad things, whimsy is occasional, and novel skills are not available every year, and I won't punish them if they can't do things, but they are slightly controlled by the money, and they don't waste too much." ”

"The emperor sees it clearly." Wang Wei admired it very much, "In this way, all the strange people in the world can be used by the emperor!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little proud, "I have issued an order to ask officials from all over the country in the past few years, the kind of fine white fine salt I said has never been seen in the Western Regions, Japan or the South Seas, but I clearly remember that there are records in ancient books, but the year is long, the memory is not clear, so I can only develop it from scratch, once it succeeds, it will not only benefit the country, but also benefit the people of the world, do you say yes?" ”

"Of course, of course!"
