Lin Feng said: "I invite your Majesty to establish the Daqin Institute of Science and Technology."
Ying Jiuxiao's old face was full of doubts, and he asked: "What is the Institute of Science and Technology?"
Lin Feng said: "The Daqin Institute of Science and Technology aims to specialize in the research of various artifacts and further improve the practicality of the artifacts. Especially in farming, water conservancy, smelting, papermaking and other aspects, a unified research plan will be carried out."
Lin Feng had not considered the idea of the Academy of Science and Technology before. Because Qin's technology tree is very low, even papermaking, silk and satin, etc., and even papermaking technology are not sophisticated enough, and they are far from reaching the top.
The same principle applies to smelting, water conservancy, etc.
Whatever idea Lin Feng really wants to propose, it is impossible to realize it in a leap. To develop the technology tree, you need to do it step by step. Now with Song Yi, Lin Feng knew that the opportunity had come.
Song Yi is a scientist. Such a person understands the manufacturing principles of various instruments.
So, Lin Feng had an idea. It is definitely not appropriate to suddenly push Ying Jiuxiao to establish a science and technology institute, etc. Therefore, it will be different when Song Yi shows his value and then put it forward, which will have weight.
Ying Jiuxiao thought for a while, glanced at Song Yi, looked at Lin Feng again, and said solemnly: "Lin Feng, are you sure it is really necessary for the Science and Technology Institute to exist? Do you really need to set it up separately?"
Lin Feng solemnly said: "In ancient times, people drilled wood to make fire, and used stone knives to chop. Even in ancient times, people could only eat hair and drink blood, and their lives were very poor. Nowadays, they wear brocade clothes, wear crowns and jade, and pay attention to food. These are all Generations of improvement.”
"This is the role of a craftsman."
"The establishment of the Science and Technology Institute is here. Therefore, it is necessary for the Daqin Science and Technology Institute to exist. Grandfather, technology is the primary productive force. You may not understand this sentence, but the one who will lead the development of Daqin in the future must be the Daqin Science and Technology Institute .”
Lin Feng said: "The improvement of food, clothing, housing and transportation is inseparable from the Academy of Science and Technology."
Ying Jiuxiao was not angry because of Lin Feng's words, but instead raised his brows. Since he met Lin Feng, this was the first time Lin Feng had given such a solemn recommendation and the first time such a firm conclusion.
Ying Jiuxiao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Lin Feng, I believe you."
"Imperial Grandfather Shengming."
Lin Feng also had a smile on his face.
"Song Yi accepts the order."
Ying Jiuxiao ordered again.
"I'm here."
Song Yi bowed and answered.
Ying Jiuxiao said directly: "I allow you to establish the Academy of Science and Technology. You will serve as the chief officer and be called the dean, which means the head of the academy. The Academy of Science and Technology is temporarily affiliated with the Ministry of Industry."
"Grandfather, I still have something to say."
Lin Feng spoke again.
Song Yi's cheeks twitched when he heard Lin Feng's words. Lin Feng was so brave, he directly interrupted the emperor's words.
He wouldn't dare to leave it here.
Song Yi quickly glanced at Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng could restrain himself and avoid conflict with the emperor.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "You boy, you are not willing to serve as an official, but you have many ideas. Tell me, what are your ideas?"
Lin Feng smiled lightly.
He doesn't want to become an official.
Being an official is equivalent to becoming a minister, and there are too many restrictions.
It's pretty good now. You can say whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about anything.
Lin Feng said sternly: "Grandfather, as the saying goes, if you live high in the temple, you worry about the king. If you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the people. Regardless of whether I am an official or not, my heart is with Qin. Whatever I do, I only hope that Qin will be better." of strength."
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes lit up.
If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your ruler. If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the people.
This is well said.
Lin Feng's talent and learning are really not bad.
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I know you have a sincere heart."
Lin Feng said: "I think the Academy of Science and Technology cannot be affiliated with the Ministry of Industry, because if it is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry, there will be too many constraints and interest entanglements. For example, the Academy of Science and Technology needs funds for research."
"When the Ministry of Household Affairs allocates funds, there will be more people to blame when the money reaches the Ministry of Industry, and even less when it reaches the Academy of Science and Technology. Grandfather, please don't say it's impossible. This is normal and an unspoken rule."
"Furthermore, the development of the Academy of Science and Technology is the foundation for Qin's future development, and there cannot be any constraints."
"Only in this way can we go all out."
Lin Feng said: "The level of the Science and Technology Institute is only one level lower than that of the Ministry of Industry. However, it belongs directly to the Imperial Grandfather. This is the best arrangement. Please enlighten the Imperial Grandfather."
Wang Tang, who had been standing nearby, said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, the idea of establishing a science and technology institute is a good one. However, it will cause a lot of criticism in the court."
Song Yi nodded hurriedly, and he just had to say one thing - me too.
He had really seen Lin Feng's courage. He was extremely daring and contradicted the emperor at every turn.
This is very inappropriate.
Song Yi looked at Lin Feng again, hoping that Lin Feng would be more restrained, but Lin Feng ignored him.
Ying Jiuxiao is not angry at all. As long as it helps the development of Da Qin, Ying Jiuxiao will accept it. He did not agree directly, but smiled and said: "Lin Feng, the problem Wang Qing raised also exists. What do you think?"
Lin Feng explained: "Grandfather, in fact, Wang Shangshu's problem is not a problem at all. With a curved shaft plow and this sword, who dares to say anything? Who can make a curved shaft plow that benefits the country and the people? Who can create sharper sword-armed soldiers? Who can also set up a science and technology academy alone. If you don’t have the strength, what can you say?”
"Hahaha……"
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and laughed.
"well said!"
"You don't have this strength, so what are you denying? You can create artifacts that benefit the country and the people, and I will give you the same treatment. Lin Feng, according to your suggestion, the Academy of Science and Technology is directly under me, and the Ministry of Household Affairs directly allocates funds. This year According to the allocation amount, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will first provide one hundred thousand taels of silver for the Academy of Science and Technology to study."
"I hope we can achieve some results as soon as possible."
"With achievements, on the one hand, it can stop some people's gossip. On the other hand, it can develop healthily. I will continue to allocate funds to support it."
Ying Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "Song Yi, work hard and don't let down Lin Feng's hard work."
Song Yi lifted up his robe, knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I will live up to your majesty's high expectations. I will live up to the support of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Get up."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded.
Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "Imperial Grandfather Shengming."
Ying Jiuxiao glared at Lin Feng angrily and said: "If you agree with me, you will be a saint. If you don't agree, wouldn't you be a coward?"
Lin Feng said: "No matter how the emperor's grandfather is, he is a wise king."
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, I will take Qu Yuuli and Bao Jian back. Next, we will arrange for the Ministry of Industry to promote it. You two, go and prepare on your own."
"Here!"
Lin Feng and Song Yi answered simultaneously.
Ying Jiuxiao took Wang Tang away. After the two walked some distance, Ying Jiuxiao looked at Wang Tang and said: "Wang Qing, the Science and Technology Institute has been established. Based on the current situation, do you think the Science and Technology Institute can really gain a foothold here?" Woolen cloth?"
Wang Tang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, with Lin Feng here, I think the problem will not be too big. And after listening to Lin Feng's words, I also have some insights. Lin Feng is right, craftsmen are very important. Agriculture, industry and commerce each perform their own duties, and craftsmen and farmers are the foundation, and the inventions and creations of craftsmen are the foundation among the foundations."
"The establishment of the Academy of Science and Technology is extremely necessary."
"I even believe that only in this way can Great Qin develop rapidly and be better than other countries."
"Why do Xia, Jin, Qi and other countries think that our Qin is a barbarian Qin? Not only are the scholars' knowledge worse, but also the food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as good as those of Xia and other countries. Nowadays, we are becoming more and more Well, that’s different.”
Wang Tang said: "The only problem is that it may be criticized."
Ying Jiuxiao flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't worry about some rumors, I can suppress them. Now, I'll wait and see."
Wang Tang also had expectations in his eyes.
During his tenure as the Minister of Household Affairs of the Qin State, he was more looking forward to seeing the Qin State prospering.
On the other side, Lin Feng and Song Yi returned to the city on their own.
Because it is not far from the city and only needs to be walked, Song Yi said as he walked: "My lord, I have traveled to various countries and met many craftsmen. When it comes to smelting, forging, and farming, I have no problem with these."
"The key is that to establish a science and technology institute, we need to recruit more people to conduct research. I have no leadership experience."
"Furthermore, since it is a science and technology institute, it should be similar to an academy. In the future, it may be necessary to teach and teach apprentices. I have no experience in these. What should I do? I know nothing about these."
Song Yi was very worried now.
The thing was promised and had to be done, but he was a little confused and felt that there were so many clues.
It seems that there is a lot to do.
Lin Feng stopped and said: "The current Institute of Science and Technology will not involve teaching and teaching, and there is no need to recruit apprentices for the time being. Teaching and teaching is to establish influence and then proceed after establishing a foothold. What we need to consider now is to establish a foothold. Develop more artifacts. The problems before Mr. Song are currently only two things."
"What two things?"
Song Yi asked humbly.
He really doesn’t understand this and has no experience.
Let him do things, no problem. It would be difficult for him to preside over the Academy of Science and Technology.
Lin Feng said: "First, as I just said, from your vast memories, choose the direction that benefits the country and the people, and research a few artifacts that can change the development of Qin. For example, how to make the land Fertility, how to increase food income, etc.”
"Second, the Academy of Science and Technology needs talents and more craftsmen. As long as they are skilled craftsmen, you can recruit them to the Academy of Science and Technology. Craftsmen are not valued much in all countries in the world. When you come to Qin State, you can be an official and gain respect, so Activate your connections and win over these people.”
"This is what you do."
"Don't think about anything else for now."
"The more you think about it, the more you become constrained. Do it boldly, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. As long as you do it, I believe you can find a different path even if you don't have any ideas. What you do is for the world. Craftsmen, rectify the names of craftsmen.”
Lin Feng said: "Mr. Song, this is one of the purposes of your coming to Qin."
Song Yidao: "I understand."
With Lin Feng's guidance, Song Yi had a direction. If he can't advance things under this premise, he is really useless.
Song Yi is still confident.
Lin Feng said: "Mr. Song, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly. There is no need to worry. The Daqin Institute of Science and Technology is not only yours, I am also involved. I hope it can be built soon."
Song Yi said: "During this period, I will first discuss with Li Shangshu and select a location as the office of the Academy of Science and Technology. Then I will send a letter to my friends and invite them to Xianyang. After making some noise, we will consider it again. It’s a matter of choosing a separate site to build the Science and Technology Institute.”
"That's what it means."
Lin Feng had a look of approval on his face.
Song Yi's idea is completely correct. In the early stage, we should keep a low profile and build the framework. As for everything else, we should keep it simple. The two of them went into the city together. Song Yi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask Wang Tang for money, and then he had to go to the Ministry of Works to find Li Yan for coordination.
As for Lin Feng, he went straight home.
Lin Feng returned home. Bai Yuyao and Xu Liuli were busy with their own affairs. Lin Feng told the housekeeper to go to Bailu Mountain and left.
He wants to see the teacher.
After returning from the front line, Lin Feng went there before and talked to the teacher about some things in Qi, but he never went there again. Now that I have nothing to do, I just went to see the teacher. Lin Feng took Gao Xiaoyu on horseback and quickly headed towards Bailu Mountain.
