Chapter 487: Setting Reading Goals

"As for staffing, it depends on the jobs. In ancient times, the purpose of studying was to gain fame and fame, and to be able to become an official.

Although this concept is good, it is very unrealistic, because there are many scholars, and there are too few official positions in the imperial court.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase employment opportunities for scholars.

In ancient times, after ten years of hard study, they participated in the imperial examination, and then many people fell to Sun Mountain, and then continued to study, and many people continued to fall to Sun Mountain.

This naturally has nothing to do with the rich, but when it comes to the poor, it is not a good thing.

The burden of a scholar is not something that a poor family can afford.

Therefore, it is necessary to give this scholar a different hope, instead of setting his sights above the top and aiming for official positions."

"Isn't studying just to be an official? Is there anything wrong with that?" Gan Luo interrupted Qin An's words.

Ying Zheng and the others nodded slightly, the imperial court is short of talents, and scholars should be officials.

Qin An sighed and said, "What about Xiao Gan, didn't I say just now, there are few official positions and many scholars, so let the scholars keep doing official dreams?

And do you know what a waste of this is for the whole country?"

"Please also ask the gentleman to give me advice." Gan Luo said respectfully.

Qin An said: "First of all, we need to clarify a goal of studying and contribute to the country. and not for personal gain."

"Isn't being an official a contribution to the country?" Ganro asked again.

"Yes and no." Qin An said, "Yes, that's because being an official is for the benefit of the people.

The reason why it is not is that scholars and officials must really be for the benefit of the people?

There is a saying in officialdom, called the three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Do you understand what that means?"

"Not everyone thinks that way."

"Yes." Qin An said, "But most of them are, and as long as most of them are, then it is wrong to focus on this goal in reading.

Therefore, the imperial court should designate or guide the scholars to a new goal, to contribute to the country and change their lives.

However, contributing to the country is not only a way to be an official, but also changing one's life is not only a way to be an official."

Ying Zheng somewhat understood what Qin An meant, and immediately said, "Qin An, don't sell the guanzi, let's talk about the point."

"Okay." Qin An nodded, "Let's talk about changing their lives first, people who study are more capable than people who don't study, so as long as they go to work in all walks of life, their wages must be higher than ordinary people.

The more capable you are, the higher your wages, and the higher your wages will change your current poverty. When your generation becomes richer, the life of the next generation will be better, and then the education will be better, and then the next generation will have more hope for the imperial examination.

Then there is the contribution to the country, and then there are many more, for example, you invented cement, you invented new methods of building bridges, you invented new calculation methods, new fonts, and so on.

As long as you do something that is beneficial to the people and the country, it can be regarded as a contribution to the country.

After making contributions, the state must not be stingy, not only to protect the inventions of others, but also to give great benefits.

There is one of the patent protections, which I said last time, and I will repeat this time.

Patent protection refers to the protection of patent rights for inventions and creations. The purpose is to encourage and protect innovation, so that inventors can monopolize their inventions for a certain period of time, prevent others from plagiarizing and infringing, and at the same time bring economic benefits to inventors.

With financial benefits, inventors will continue to create inventions.

Patent protection plays an important role in both innovation and economic development. It can encourage innovation, promote technological progress and economic development, and at the same time protect intellectual property rights and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of innovators.

Moreover, patent law exists to allow others to keep learning and innovating.

For example, I invented iron-making technology, and some people thought through my iron-making technology

To a higher technology, then he can also produce patents and get a reward from the imperial court.

Don't think that if you invent something, you can't improve it.

No, this is a wrong idea, and it is also because the imperial court does not attach importance to this piece, so no one studies it anymore, or does not want to study it at all, and the most important point is that there is no money to study it.

If I have the opportunity to reach the Qin Dynasty, I will definitely get the imperial court to introduce a patent law, and then I will invent a lot of good things and teach them to a student.

Then I will find a few potential students to invest in them and let them research and update my invention based on my invention."

Everyone suddenly realized that the patent law not only protects the inventor, but also gives the inventor benefits, plus the country has benefits, the people have benefits, and businessmen will also have benefits.

"Village chief, this patent law is indeed a good thing, I don't know if the imperial court has already formulated a law." Meng Yi asked.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, he had already handed over this matter to Li Si, after Qin An said the patent law last time, he asked Li Si to formulate the patent law.

Li Si immediately said, "Village chief, the imperial court doesn't know anything about patent law, and the progress is a little slow, after I go back this time, I will definitely find a way to urge them."

Qin An, why don't you tell you a little bit about the laws of the patent law, and I can tell the people in the imperial court according to your version."

Qin An wanted to refuse, because it was completely unnecessary, the country had a fairly standardized patent law, and there was no need for the imperial court to re-customize it.

However, because Li Si is his father-in-law, as the so-called does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, no matter how you say it, you have to give Li Yanran face.

Immediately, Qin An said all the provisions of the patent law that he knew, and Li Siru remembered them all, and wrote them down immediately after he returned.

After Qin An finished talking about the patent, he continued, "Father-in-law, if you want the imperial court to set up various academies, then you let the hundred schools gather together to formulate a set of teaching books.

Personally, I would suggest dividing the seowon into primary, secondary and university.

In primary school, I taught Confucianism, Mohist, arithmetic, medicine, and farming."

"Why aren't there Legalists?" Lees asked.

"Neither are the soldiers." Zhang Han said.

Qin An said: "Primary schools don't need soldiers and farmers, but there are sports, so they are not soldiers, and they can be trained like soldiers, but the intensity is very, very small.

In addition, I can also set up a college system with you, and I can give you the content of arithmetic, from elementary school to university.

Even graduate students have it.

If there are people in the village who can master arithmetic at the same time, it will be of great benefit to the whole village.

After six years of primary school, it is middle school, the first three years of middle school are spent on deepening the knowledge of various subjects, and the last three years are spent choosing a major, that is, from Confucianism, medicine and other schools.

When they get to university, they basically know all the words they should know, so they specialize in that subject."
