In the spring of the fifth year of Wanli, the Ministry of Industry did a great job and issued a list to inform the world. It selected outstanding contributors in the field of science and technology in the previous two years, issued huge rewards to those in the top ten, and listed the main contributors to the donation. The Ministry of Rites issued a stone tablet, which was later customized. Every two years, it was awarded ten awards for their contributions to engineering to promote technological development.

The award was just evaluated, and an internal list was sent by the cabinet to Chen Mu, the Beiyang Military Mansion.

"Who's crazy about this list?"

Chen Mu looked at the award list, and his behind-the-scenes award donor ranked first. The reason for winning was to compile the "Chen's Tao Te Ching", "Flag Army Training Manual", "A List of Guns and Cannons", and other technologies, and military technology contributions.

Qi Jiguang ranked second with military technology contributions such as "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" and "Strange Military Training"; thirdly, the Prime Minister's Hedao Du Imperial Envoy Pan Jixun won the award with the method of "bundling water and rinsing sand".

The Ministry of Works was working on this job, Xu Zhenming, who was in charge of two officials in the Ministry of Works and Beiyang. Chen Mu pointed to the list and asked: "Can you take me away? From top to bottom, this list is a senior official of the court, a royal family, and an ordinary citizen. Fang Xuejian, the only one who is not in office, has translated the ten books on the ancient Roman "Ten Books of Architecture" and the twelve volumes of the printed version of the 40th year of Europa Jiajing. Is this award not fair enough in choosing?"

"In fact, it's already very fair. If it weren't for more considerations, even Fang Xuejian wouldn't be selected. Regarding the achievements of general translation, your aide, Mr. Xu, translated "Seaman Treasure Mirror", Chang Ji translated "Ingenious Mechanical Devices", and those great scholars in the southeast also translated hundreds of Western learning books. The top list is Zhang Ge Lao's "Study Methods". Ge Lao also eliminated himself in order to avoid suspicion."

Xu Zhenming was almost worried. The top spot was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. Not to mention the top spot, even the winners of the next five thousand taels, 3,000 taels or even 1,000 taels wanted to refuse: "Premier Pan of the River is unwilling to receive the reward, and Prince Zheng, Zhu Zai-kun, is unwilling to accept it. He hopes to fill the reward into the national treasury... If he continues to be so humble, this reward list cannot be done!"

"What Mr. Zhang meant was to use this award to mobilize the idea of ​​wealthy businessmen and wealth to earn fame and fortune, so that they could pay money to donate their fame, so that the Ministry of Industry could take the initiative to promote the progress of the world's skills, so as to reduce the financial pressure in Southeast Asia, and also allow the ministries to understand their power and concentrate on their own affairs. But now, let alone encourage merchants to invite fame, even these award-winning people are not happy."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly, what is the "New Fa-Mian Rate" of Prince Zheng? It can also be on the list?"

Chen Mu also felt a headache after hearing Xu Zhenming's words. Pan Jixun used his new technology to manage the rivers very effectively, and it was easy to be on the list. Zhang Juzheng's role in the examination method is undoubtedly, and there is absolutely no problem in classifying it in management. Not to mention Qi Jiguang's military reform, Fang Xuejian's translation has also put a lot of effort into it. What's more important is to promote this kind of learning-friendly spirit to the world.

But it seems that the problem now sounds like the difficulty he imagined at first was that there were too few technological reforms, and there were too many people who could make scientific and technological contributions.

"The new secret rate of Prince Zheng's law is based on traditional law and law. The three-point gain and loss of the loss of the non-realization of the law. Prince Zheng has improved this method and only understands it briefly. However, after reading the secret law, the Imitation Department seems to have arrived..."

"Wait, this law is not law, how can it be the turn of the Imitation Department to speak?" Chen Mu's face was confused. The idea that the royal family of the vassal kings was the most useless human gathering in the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted. He frowned and said, "There is a dark curtain."

"Oh!"

Mr. Chen, who was ignorant, was so worried about Xu Zhenming that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Boy Jing Hai, this law is a study of music. If the imitation department is not allowed to judge, should the head of the Ministry of Justice be asked to evaluate it?"

"The Prince of Zheng is a master of music. Since childhood, he followed his uncle, Jingxian Academy's mountain director He Cuifu to learn music, astronomy, and arithmetic. Because his father was imprisoned, he built a thatched hut outside the palace for 19 years. Xi Gao was alone and devoted himself to writing. It was not until King Zheng returned to the country that he entered the palace. He crossed the rules of the ancestors, broke the old practices, and was superb in mathematics. He even calculated the longitude and longitude of Beijing City by himself, and was the most unfair among the vassal kings!"

"Crown Prince Zheng is now compiling the "Complete Book of Music". After his book is compiled, he will probably win the top spot in that year. What are the dark stories about now ranking fourth."

Chen Mu was not interested in music, but after listening to Xu Zhenming's words, he picked up his arm and said skeptically: "Can he calculate the longitude and longitude of Beijing? He is familiar with mathematics and calendars. Can he compile a new calendar for the court?"

If Zhu Zai-chan is really so talented, it would be a waste of talent in the Zheng Palace. He should make more contributions to the country and nation!

"Justice just came from the palace of the old master, and Jing Haibo also knew that the old master thought so. He also asked Jing Haibo to tell Jing Haibo that there is a way to do external bans and not to be just outside bans. The emperor will issue an edict soon to ensure that the royal family does most scientific and technological research and research, and then first use a group of external enclaves that are not a little bit of infatuation as punishment. In order to avoid wrongful people, if they make achievements or can be awarded the award, they can also be re-banned."

OK!

The middle-aged god is planning to train all the royal family of the Zhu family into great scientists.

Chen Mu laughed as he heard this, but he thought this idea was amazing!

What do scientists need most? The endless spirit of seeking knowledge does not affect the source of income for life and the channels for obtaining knowledge.

The latter two types of family members who are registered and enjoy Lumi have this condition.

As for the first type, if you don’t do academic research well, you will be thrown overseas. There is no doubt that the most naughty vassal kings will also love academic research.

"This is much higher than the discussion that requires the royal family to pass the imperial examination in recent years. The common people have this opportunity to turn things around. It is not bad for these royal families to pass the imperial examination, but it is different for them to do academic research. Their status is extremely high, and Dangdang scientists are also good, and there is a precedent. Emperor Chengzu's younger brother is not just doing academic research."

Zhu Di's mother brother, King Zhou, Zhu Shi, was so surprised because he could not do anything and dared not do it. In the end, he became a pharmacist and edited famous works such as "Saving the Wilderness Materia Medica" and "Present Prescriptions".

Chen Mu was so happy that he only slapped the table with Sha Le and asked the royal family to do research. This was so interesting. Who would make chemistry famous? He directly beat the names of his brothers and ancestors upwards, which was the ready-made periodic table of elements.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Juzheng finally came up with a solution for the royal family's outer seal, and it was the most awesome solution - what is the meaning of rewarding silver to promote scientific progress? The most outstanding scientific contributor can be crowned as king!

"No one Jinghai should stop talking about this. That's the matter of the elder. After all, he is also a subordinate of Jinghai's colleagues. What should I do if I can't do this job? You have to talk!"

Xu Zhenming pointed to the list and signaled Chen Mu to give him an idea.

"I have no other way, but there are too many people who deserve to win the award. I think it is because the award is not clear enough. I can set up a few more awards to classify these science and technology, science and science, and study them in different subjects. The highest award is taken as an example of the current year of Your Majesty. For example, this test method is summarized into the "Wanli Management Award", the twelve average laws of Prince Zheng, called the "Wanli Music Award", and there are military science, water conservancy, geography, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, and this one."

Chen Mu said, pointing his finger at the seventh-ranked Fujian Yanguan Tu Benzhang, saying, "This person is a person who likes food at first glance. Look, the book is called "Seafood Index", which belongs to Wanli Biology. In this way, officials specialize in their own management, economics, and military studies. Other awards can be done by Zhaoli in the world. Isn't that easy?"

"There is no need to worry about money. The idea of ​​a master of the Ge to attract sponsorship is excellent, but the coverage can be wider. Xu Ge Lao Songjiang Lecture Academy is such a big name, it is not difficult to sponsor a few thousand taels, right? The business in the north gate city, Hexingsheng in the south, and the giants who traveled around the north sponsor tens of thousands of taels? They can even establish the National Research Institute in the future - but these matters are not under Chen's jurisdiction, so you should ask Mr. Zhang, hey!"

Chen Mu waved his hand, got up and patted the winner list back into Xu Zhenming's arms, pushed Zhao Shizhen's father-in-law from behind and walked out of the hall, stood on the threshold, waved his hands, and waited as he watched his back walk out of the yamen, then he pulled over a chair and sat on it. The more he thought about it, the more he laughed, and laughed out loud.
Chapter completed!
