Chapter 188 The Imperial Examination System
Li Si joked: "Sir, you are not testing us, but insulting us." ”
Qin An smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that everyone doesn't know, since everyone knows what it means to rely on God to eat."
Then the role of the farmer is to fight against God, I remember telling you.
The rice outside can yield 2,000 catties per mu, but in ancient times, it was already very good to have two or three hundred catties.
However, the 2,000 catties of rice is not what we say we have, but it has been cultivated again and again, and finally succeeded after repeated failures.
The farm is used to cultivate excellent grain seeds, as well as vegetables and fruits, and even breeding chickens, ducks, dogs and pigs must be regarded as farm work.
No food is inseparable from the farmer. ”
Ying Zheng said: "What Mr. said is that farmers should not only cultivate the land, but also cultivate excellent seeds.
Only good seeds can grow high-yielding food. ”
"That's right, the next is the Mo family, the Mo family is a very miscellaneous school, he advocates benevolent government, love, non-aggression, Shangxian and so on.
I don't know if it's useful or not. ”
"Sir, since you don't know if it's useful or not, why do you still want to be included in the imperial examination." Fusu interrupted Qin An's words.
Qin An smiled and said, "Because the Mo family's trick technique is very famous, you may look down on this trick, but his use is very large.
Does my waterwheel work? ”
"It's easy to use, it's very easy to use, and Mr.'s waterwheel should be promoted to the whole world." Fusu said.
Qin An said with a smile: "The construction of this waterwheel is inseparable from the Mo family's mechanical skills.
In outside terms, the Mohist technique is actually the technology of mechanical salt production.
This is my major, to put it bluntly, the Mo family can be regarded as my ancestor.
If it were not annihilated in history, Huaxia's technology would be the first in the world, and would not be surpassed by other countries.
And the imperial examination is the Mohist organ technique, and the knowledge related to the organ art is, to put it bluntly, technology. ”
"Can the public loser also become the subject of the scientific examination?" Fusu asked.
"The two are different, the public loser is a family craft, they don't seem to pass it on, but the Mo family hands over the technology to others.
There are also many topics in the Mohist family that can also be used for scientific research, such as geometry, physics and other disciplines founded by the Mohists.
I will teach you these things in the future, and they are even more advanced than those of the Mo family.
Don't look at me like that, I said that the Mo family can be said to be the originator of science, but it did not develop, and finally declined.
I'm studying science, but I'm still learning a lot of things? Qin An saw that everyone's eyes were very strange, so he kindly reminded them.
Ying Zheng said: "The Mo family is available, the Mo family is available." ”
Qin An said: "Of course the Mo family can be used, and those agricultural tools are also scientific inventions strictly speaking, and they belong to the category of the Mo family.
A good technology can double productivity.
For example, in terms of weaving, I don't know what the looms of the Qin Dynasty were, but modern looms can produce thousands of pieces of cloth a day. ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately said: "Li Si, if you are looking for someone from the Mo family, you must find the giant of the Mo family." ”
"No." Li Si responded.
He knew that Yingzheng was very excited, the most valuable things on the market today are grain and cloth, with these two things, it means that your family is a wealthy family.
Because cloth is difficult to weave, food is scarce.
Now that I know that the technology of the Mo family is so important, if I don't grasp it, can the First Emperor still become the First Emperor?
"Sir, I know the importance of the Mo family, but what about the doctor?" Fusu asked, "What's the importance of the doctor?" ”
Qin An shook his head and said, "Of course the doctor is important, everyone will get sick, and if you are sick, you have to see a doctor."
Doctor husband is a very special profession, when you are fine, doctors are useless, but when you are sick, you can't do without doctors.
If the First Emperor wanted to live forever, it was better to be accompanied by a few more skilled people, at least to be sixty or seventy years old.
And that's not the point, the point is on the plague. ”
"Plague?!" The crowd was shocked.
Everyone knows the terrible nature of the plague, a plague can cause the death of 100,000 people in a city.
Fusu said tremblingly: "First ...... Sir, why do you mention such a terrible thing? ”
"You're going to be scared, that's right." Qin An said.
"Plague is actually a highly contagious and fast-killing disease, and there is no cure or defense against it.
Do you know smallpox? Qin An said.
Ying Zheng said: "Knowing that once infected with smallpox, death is undoubted, and everyone talks about it." ”
Qin An said: "That's right, smallpox has ravaged the whole world, not only in China, but also in other countries for thousands of years, and no one can cure it. But it can be prevented.
Because smallpox has a characteristic that whoever has had smallpox will never get smallpox again. ”
"Sir, don't be joking, a person who gets smallpox will definitely die, how can he have a second time?" Fusu said.
"Although the mortality rate from smallpox is particularly high, not everyone will die. Also, I'm not talking about prevention that you want to get smallpox. ”
Ying Zheng was a little excited and said inexplicably: "Sir, do you know how to prevent smallpox?" ”
Qin An bowed his head and said, "That's right, the method is very simple. It is to find a cow with smallpox, and then use the cowpox from the cow to plant it on people, so that people can get smallpox.
Smallpox from cows will not make people die, serious people will only make people have a fever, and it will be fine for half a month at most, but you can't take a bath for half a month.
And people who are in good health may not have a fever until the wound scars, and of course they can't take a bath for fifteen days. ”
After Qin An finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pox scar on his arm, and said, "This is the pox scar I planted, we all planted pox when we were one year old, because the child doesn't have to worry about him catching it."
When the wound heals, it will be itchy, but it is not good for the body to scratch, and it is easy to infect the wound. ”
Ying Zheng nodded, but still asked uneasily, "Sir, are you sure this method is feasible?" ”
"Of course it works." Qin An said with a confident face, "Actually, this is also one of my talismans.
Chief, don't tell the chiefs of other villages that in two and a half years' time, if they don't let me out, I'll scare them with smallpox.
I believe that after seeing smallpox, none of them dared to do anything to me. ”
Everyone looked at Qin An embarrassedly, if you don't say it, everyone may still be scared, but if you say it now, then how can we be scared.
"Sir, we don't say." Ying Zheng said embarrassedly, "I understand what Mr. means, including doctors in the scope of assessment is not to let doctors be officials, but to let doctors specialize in medical skills, so that the people of the world can have more doctors." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
