Li Yuanzhao leaned on the edge of the stage and observed for a long time from behind. Seeing the lively scene, a look of worry appeared on his face.
Turning back, he said, "Old Fang, I don't think you can do it this way. It's not a good style of study! My teachers taught that only by keeping oneself pure and humble can one concentrate on studying. Isn't the Academy of Sciences supposed to do research? How can it do research well in the future when material desires run rampant?"
Fang Zheng looked at Li Yuanzhao and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right. However, you can propose the idea of studying in poverty, and the officials in the court can propose it, but you can't propose it to the common people, because they really have no money. Studying in poverty is just a last resort."
Studying in poverty and eliminating the distraction of material desires sounds reasonable.
But in fact, people without money are more disturbed by material desires.
I have never eaten anything, never played anything, but I get excited when I see a beautiful woman.
All beautiful things are covered by a veil, which doubles the temptation! Most of the energy is spent on resisting one's own desires.
In fact, the earliest scientists in the modern sense were mostly wealthy aristocrats who had plenty of free time. They did research to amuse themselves in their boring lives.
If Shakyamuni wanted to become a Buddha, first he had to be a prince!
People have eaten, played, and seen everything, and are tired of everything, so they can only charge towards the truth and seek greater excitement.
Buddha's salvation of the Yuan people is not just talk, if you don't have money, what can you do? The world is colorful and has never seen anything, and the temptation will break the spell instantly!
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are exceptions among people with poor backgrounds.
The famous Sir Newton is an exception, and also the lightning king Tesla.
But not only is the structure of their brain grooves and convolutions different from that of normal people, but at that time many countries had already established royal academies of science and built relatively complete education and promotion systems.
The Royal Society of London was born, while the Qing Dynasty was busy invading the mainland.
"Your Highness, in fact, what we should focus on right now is the issue of communication, rather than the issue of teaching and educating people. As long as we can successfully recruit students with potential, everything else is trivial."
"What's more, even if a person has money, it's hard for him to just sit there and have fun every day! I guarantee that if he plays around for two months at most, he'll get fed up and want to do some serious work."
This is just like a person who doesn't have a girlfriend fantasizing every day that if he had a girlfriend, he would have to do it twenty times a day.
I want to go from the kitchen to the bathroom to the balcony and then to the bedroom every day...
As a result, after getting a girlfriend, he gradually became enlightened within two months and quickly grew into a mature man who was free from vulgar interests.
When the wife asked, she held a cigarette in her mouth and acted decadently: "I'm tired from work today, how about tomorrow... I'll owe you this one for now."
One day of hiding is one day of hiding.
Li Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Old Fang, you are talking nonsense. There are countless princes in the capital who have been having fun day after day for years without getting tired."
Does he really want to play? Does he have any choice? Chunchun is anesthetizing himself!
Fang Zhengyi complained in his heart and then said, "Your Highness, such people are a minority after all. Have you heard the story of the Batman in Taoyuan County?"
Li Yuanzhao smacked his lips, thought for a while and said, "I read it at the bookstall in your county. I think you made it up, right? Isn't it just about the Batman catching and releasing that guy? Old Fang, I think your story is very poorly made up. It seems like he is missing something in his brain."
Fang Zheng was ashamed, it turned out that Batman was not acclimatized... He had just told the county people about it out of boredom, but he didn't expect to be despised now.
"Your Highness is right. Batman is a complete idiot. There is no perfect system in the world, and all systems are designed for the vast majority of people. There will inevitably be exceptions, and since they are exceptions, we can just deal with them specially. Just like the mutant monsters in the stories, we can just kill them!"
"It's the same with our Academy of Sciences. If someone really becomes a talent in the future, gets admitted to a junior college and joins the Royal Academy of Sciences, but still thinks about having fun all day and doesn't produce any results, then we can just fire him. It's that simple."
"What's more, there are some situations that Your Highness did not expect..." Fang Zheng paused when he said this.
Li Yuanzhao asked hurriedly: "What is it that I didn't expect?"
Fang Zhengyi sighed and said, "We recruit common people, all of them are poor, with low self-esteem and sensitive, and they will never let go in their lives."
"If you lack courage, you can't let go of your imagination. Sometimes imagination is more important than basics in science."
“So we need to give them a bright future and let them see real money!”
Money is the courage of a hero... This is even more true for ordinary people. It is too slow to cultivate self-confidence bit by bit. Fang Zhengyi can only choose physical courage.
Li Yuanzhao also became thoughtful.
After a long pause, he sighed, "You have a point... Perhaps I have always lived a comfortable life and cannot understand what the people think. You have experience, so let's do it this way first. If it doesn't work, we can adjust it later."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the interview.
In the Mid-Levels Square, the "scientists" from Taoyuan County are having a heated interview.
As for the content of the interview, it was quite simple!
First take a look to see if the person is stupid or idiotic, and see if there is light in his eyes, then ask a few simple questions.
At this moment, Mo Xiaohu, who came from the county firearms institute, was on the stage for an interview. He felt a little headache looking at the huge crowds of people.
The gold-plated iron chain hanging around my neck made it even more uncomfortable... Fortunately, there was a beautiful woman by my side, and the fragrant breeze was enough to refresh me.
As soon as I finished interviewing one person, the person behind me sat down quickly and said with admiration: "Hello, scientist, my name is Tian Wu."
Mo Xiaohu pushed up his sunglasses and said helplessly, "Brother, you are already fifty years old."
"I'm only twenty-seven. I'm tired from working and look old."
"Okay... Tian Wu, right? Come on, read the words on the table first."
Tian Wu licked his lips, lowered his head to read the words, looked at them for a few seconds, then raised his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I can't read."
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask you a question. What's eighty-seven plus twenty-three? Answer now!"
Tian Wu counted on his fingers and asked, "Ninety-six?"
"Next one!"
Tian Wu left in shame.
Mo Xiaohu rubbed his temples. He had been like this for most of the morning. He couldn't read and couldn't even understand addition and subtraction within 100.
It’s really a headache!
Fortunately, the next contestant cheered Mo Xiaohu up a little.
The young man in front of me was wearing a Confucian robe that looked like it had been washed countless times, and he had a poor and shabby temperament.
But there is a light in his eyes, and he looks very smart.
"Hello, interviewer. My name is Xiao Letian."
"Okay, read the words on the table."
Xiao Letian glanced down, his eyes lit up, and he read: "I pounce on the book like a hungry man pounces on bread. --Fang Zhengyi."
"I have only been engaged in one cause throughout my life, fighting for the great success of Dajing! -- Fang Zhengyi."
"People are born to be horses, and horses die standing up. As long as there is breath, we must work. --- To the workers."
