Chapter 699: The Wind of Science Blows



Within a few months, the people of the capital were in turmoil.

As Xiao Letian successfully won a scholarship of 100 taels, countless students were excited!

It was envy at first, but it didn't last long.

The people of Dajing have always been kind, and they are always more empathetic when they encounter the weak.

But when I meet someone who is better off than me, I always raise my eyebrows and find fault with them.

When everyone realized that Xiao Letian's theory was useless, countless discussions flooded towards him.

Although the academic atmosphere at Dongjiao University is good and most students can maintain basic courtesy when meeting each other, the remarks made in private are quite unbearable.

What was even more distressing was that when they returned home, the neighbors were extremely harsh, and many disdainful remarks flew into the ears of Xiao Letian and his father.

It really made him suffer for quite some time.

In the end, it was Fang Zhengyi who came forward and fed him a bowl of thick soup, which relieved his depression.

In fact, even Fang Zhengyi himself has received a lot of criticism and attacks.

But he was thick-skinned and didn't care at all!

How rich I am, how wonderful my life is...those country bumpkins can't even imagine how much I'm worth.

Is it not enough for me to enjoy life, so I have to engage in verbal battle with a bunch of idlers like you?

What's more, he has already seen through history, and those sarcasms can only make him laugh at best.

But there were some benefits as well. Xiao Letian went to college and received a scholarship.

This undoubtedly aroused the enthusiasm of other students to compete.

After class every day, he would start observing "useless" natural phenomena like crazy, trying to soar into the sky.

Various papers appeared like snowflakes in Dongjiao University.

The enthusiasm for learning in school has far exceeded Fang Zhengyi's expectations, so a review team was set up urgently.

Each person's paper must be submitted to the review group for review, and then tested through experiments or field observations.

If the experimental results can be reproduced, or the phenomenon is true, then publish it on the school bulletin board first.

If anyone is dissatisfied, they can apply for a public debate in the auditorium and use evidence and logic to speak.

Once a definite result is reached, an article will be published in the newspaper immediately for the world to see.

The Mid-Levels Daily has even set up a special science section for this purpose.

Some of them are popular science stories and common knowledge.

Fang Zheng worked day and night without sleep and successfully calculated the value of pi to 3.2653 using the method of dividing a circle.

There are also reasons why we need to wash our hands before and after meals, why raw dumplings sink but why cooked dumplings float, etc.

The rest is the content that caused heated discussions within Dongjiao University.

Usually, the school's review team and newspaper reporters are required to revise the document in a language that humans can understand before it is published.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the people about scientific statements, and it was very lively.

In view of this situation, Dongjiao University released new news again.

As long as there is a talented person in the community who can publish an article in a newspaper that can withstand the review of Dongjiao University, anyone, regardless of gender, age or status, can be admitted as an exception!

Studying at Eastern Suburbs University doesn’t make money except for scholarships, but if you graduate you will have the opportunity to join the Royal Academy of Sciences!

The Royal Academy of Sciences is related to the royal family, and there is salary to be paid. Although the outside world doesn’t know the exact amount, it’s the royal family!

How can we get less money?

As soon as this news came out, it was like a raging fire, and it once again stimulated a new wave of scientific research!

Many people actually have all kinds of imaginations about natural phenomena in their minds.

However, those imaginary things can only exist in the mind. If they are told to others, they will probably make people laugh at them.

But now it’s different, you can talk nonsense openly!

Not only was it public, but it was also encouraged by the royal family. So why not make it up? What if it was right?

Countless people still have no appetite, and don’t pay much attention to their work, and just think about producing a shocking paper every day!

Bypass the top three students in the imperial examination and go straight to junior college to overtake others!

At one time, potential folk wisdom burst out in various industries such as agronomy, astronomy, geography, and water conservancy.

Such as the effect of rice planting spacing on grain yield, postpartum care for sows, why urine becomes sweet...

As the number of various papers began to grow explosively, it was inevitable that there would be extremely practical principles in them, but their number was rather scarce.

But those novel and practical principles aroused a crazy enthusiasm for learning among many illiterate people. As a result of a chain reaction, many people began to take the initiative to learn to read and write!

Although people have all kinds of strange ideas in their minds, no matter how strange or novel they are, they will still collide with others. If they are not published first, others will get there first.

It is no longer a good idea to learn and write now, so some poor scholars have set their sights on this illiterate market and started essay writing services...

Some smart booksellers in the capital have already learned how to clip newspapers.

Collect the novel opinions published in newspapers every day into a book and publish it.

Fang Zheng originally wanted to collect some royalties from the bookseller, but he changed his mind.

The person who placed the advertisement in the newspaper has already paid the fee to the newspaper, and the money has nothing to do with him.

Booksellers should share profits with newspaper advertisers, and instead of making that little money, it would be better to write a book cover and help boost the popular science craze!

The bookseller was reluctant at first when he heard that he had to split the money with the writer, but he was overjoyed when he heard that Fang Zhengyi wanted to write the book cover, and the two sides hit it off.

Almost every scientific book published subsequently had Fang Zhengyi's recommendation written on it.

[Scientific knowledge you must read before you become an official, highly recommended by Fang Zhengyi, president of Dongjiao University.]
