Chapter 487 Setting Reading Goals
"As for personnel arrangements, it depends on the job position. In ancient times, studying was to gain fame and become an official.
Although this concept is good, it is very unrealistic because there are too many scholars and there are too few official positions in the court.
Therefore, we need to increase employment opportunities for scholars.
In ancient times, after ten years of hard study, they took part in the imperial examination, and many of them failed. Then they continued to study, and many people continued to fail.
For rich people, this naturally has nothing to do with it, but for poor people, this is not a good thing.
The burden of being a scholar is not something that poor people can afford.
Therefore, it is necessary to give students in this school other hopes instead of setting their sights high on official positions. "
"Isn't studying just to be an official? Is there anything wrong with that?" Gan Luo interrupted Qin An.
Ying Zheng and others nodded slightly, the court lacked talents, and scholars should be officials.
Qin An sighed and said, "Where's Xiao Gan? Didn't I just say that there are few official positions and many scholars, so the scholars are always dreaming of becoming officials?
And do you know what a waste this is for the entire country? "
"Please give me some advice, sir." Gan Luo said respectfully.
Qin An said: "First of all, we must clarify a goal of studying and contribute to the country. Not for personal gain."
"Isn't being an official a contribution to the country?" Gan Luo asked again.
"Yes and no." Qin An said, "Yes, that's because being an official is to benefit the people.
The reason why it is not is that when a scholar becomes an official, must he really benefit the people?
There is a saying in the officialdom that three years to clear the magistrate's office is worth one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. Can you understand what this means? "
"Not everyone has this idea."
"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 studying.
Therefore, the imperial court should assign or guide scholars to a new goal, to contribute to the country and change their own lives.
However, there is more than just being an official to contribute to the country, and there is more than just being an official to change one's life. "
Ying Zheng somewhat understood what Qin An meant, and immediately said, "Qin An, stop showing off and get to the point."
"Okay." Qin An nodded, "Let's talk about changing your life first. Scholars are more capable than non-students, so as long as they work in various industries, their wages must be higher than ordinary people.
The stronger the ability, the higher the wages. Higher wages can change the current poverty life. As one's own generation becomes rich, the next generation's life will be better, and the education they will receive will be better, and then the next generation will have more hope of passing the imperial examination.
Then there is the contribution to the country, which is more. For example, you invented cement, you invented a new method of building bridges, you invented a new calculation method, a new font, etc.
As long as you do something that is beneficial to the people and the country, it is considered a contribution to the country.
After making contributions, the country cannot be stingy. It must not only protect the inventions of others, but also provide them with great benefits.
Among them is patent protection. I mentioned this last time and I will say it again 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 within a certain period of time, prevent others from plagiarism and infringement, and at the same time, it can also bring economic benefits to the 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.
Furthermore, patent laws exist to allow others to continue to learn and innovate.
For example, I invented the iron-making technology, and someone used my iron-making technology to think
When he reaches higher technology, he can also produce patents and get rewards from the court.
Don’t think that after you invent something, you can’t improve it.
No, this is a wrong idea, and it is also because the court does not pay attention to this area, so no one studies it anymore, or does not want to study it at all. The most important point is that there is no money to study it.
If I have the opportunity to arrive in the Qin Dynasty, I will definitely ask the court to issue a patent law, and then I will invent many good things and teach them to students in a school.
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 protected the inventor, but also brought benefits to the inventor. In addition, the country benefited, the people benefited, and the businessmen also benefited. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
"Village Chief, this patent law is indeed a good thing. I wonder if the court has already formulated the law." Meng Yi asked.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si. He had already handed this matter over to Li Si. After Qin An talked about the patent law last time, he asked Li Si to formulate the patent law.
Li Si immediately said: "Village chief, the court knows nothing about patent law, and progress is a bit slow. After returning this time, I will definitely find a way to supervise them.
Qin An, why don't you tell me a little bit about the patent law? I can tell the court people 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 courts to re-customize it.
But because Li Si is his father-in-law, as the saying goes, he doesn’t look at the monk’s face to look at the Buddha’s face, so he has to give Li Yanran face.
Immediately, Qin An explained all the provisions of the patent law that he knew. Li Si memorized them all like a treasure and wrote them down immediately after returning.
After Qin An finished talking about the patent, he continued: "Father-in-law, if you want the imperial court to establish various academies, then you ask hundreds of schools to gather together to formulate a set of teaching books.
I personally recommend dividing the academies into primary schools, secondary schools and universities.
The primary schools teach Confucianism, Mohism, arithmetic, medicine, and farming. "
"Why is there no Legalism?" Li Si asked.
"There are no military strategists either," Zhang Han said.
Qin An nodded and said: "Elementary schools do not need soldiers and farmers, but there are sports, which are not counted as soldiers. They can train like soldiers, but the intensity is much, much less.
In addition, I can also provide you with an academy system, and I can also provide you with arithmetic content, ranging from primary school to university.
There are even graduate students.
If someone in the village can master arithmetic, it will be of great benefit to the entire village.
After six years of primary school, there is middle school. The first three years of middle school are to deepen the knowledge of various subjects, and the last three years are to choose a major, that is, from Confucianism, medical school and other schools.
By the time they get to college, they already know basically all the words they need to know, so they specialize in that subject. "
