The meeting is over.
Fang Zheng stood outside the palace door and looked at Chaoyang with some emotion.
It’s not easy! Nothing is easy.
Eliminating Niu Jin can be regarded as laying a solid foundation, and it will be much easier to develop in the future.
As long as we bring out some of the existing achievements in Taoyuan County and let all officials see the potential of science earlier, naturally no one will dare to look down upon it.
No one will refuse the real benefits.
My father of science, Fang Zhengyi, is destined to be recorded in history!
We need to leave some famous quotes, set some rules, and warn future generations that no one can scribble my face on textbooks, otherwise the college entrance examination points will be reduced!
After thinking about it, Fang Zheng became very happy and his smile was very arrogant.
Li Yuanzhao walked out behind him, looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Old Fang, you smile very obscenely."
"Oh..I thought of something happy."
"What are you going to do with the Academy of Sciences and the Academy?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
After Fang Zheng thought for a moment, he said: "I have already had some ideas. A place close to the officialdom is not suitable for research. I want to build it farther away so that people from the Ministry of Industry can avoid trouble later."
"There is still a large area of land idle in the eastern suburbs, so it is better to build it there. The Royal Academy of Sciences is close to the academy, which will be convenient for research and study in the future."
"As for being more specific... Then we need detailed planning. I will do some more research when I go back and come up with an academic level, professional title, etc."
"Huh? Examination level?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "To put it simply, it is to pass the exam step by step according to the results. The lowest level is called the first level, and those who pass the exam can be promoted to the second level. Only those who study well, have high character, excellent quality, and outstanding potential can pass the third level."
"That's not right, the lower the number, the higher the grade." Li Yuanzhao wondered, this seemed to be contrary to the rules of the court.
"No, the bigger the number, the more awesome it is. Three to one, three is the best!" Fang Zheng explained forcefully at the beginning.
Li Yuanzhao pouted, noncommittal, and then asked: "However, it seems a bit inappropriate for the Royal Academy of Sciences to be built in the eastern suburbs. It is too far away. Aren't you afraid of outsiders' opinions?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, it is somewhat unpopular to practice cultivation in remote suburbs in the name of the royal family, but from a practical point of view, it is better to cultivate farther away.
"Your Highness, the Academy of Sciences will focus on academics and research in the future. I think there are some bad habits in the court, and we should try our best to avoid being contaminated and create some good environment for them."
"What bad trend?" Li Yuanzhao asked curiously.
"Haha, research is about true knowledge, power is only about size, Your Highness."
People's hearts are all the same. Regardless of the situation, almost all people's ideas have sharpened their heads and entered the officialdom.
What can officialdom do?
Management positions have always been taken over scientific research positions.
If any unhealthy practices are introduced into the Academy of Sciences, the students recruited in the future will not want to engage in science.
I kept thinking all day long, 'There are five leaders here and there are only four seats, how should I arrange them? 'Such a stupid question.
Then there is the research on der!
He also hopes to use the Academy of Sciences to popularize scientific ideas to the world.
Da Jing lacks the soil for science, and coupled with people’s admiration for ancient times, it is understandable that science popularization is extremely difficult.
Not to mention the current environment, science in later generations was born in the same way for hundreds of years.
Open Douyin, and all kinds of blind boasts about the ancient Zenith Star technology have been waiting for modern scientists on the top of the mountain for a long time, calling the ancestors awesome.
Is that ancestor awesome? The humanities and social sciences are awesome, but the ancients only had some relatively rudimentary practical technologies and did not summarize science.
Science has not yet been born, and an ordinary person from the Qin Dynasty can live a normal life if he travels to the Ming Dynasty.
Traveling back in time to the Qing Dynasty, it was a bit hard to get used to it.
In modern times, people are so scared that they shit all over the floor.
If you really have the filial piety to worship your ancestors, why not burn some black silk threads for your ancestors during the New Year and the holidays so that they can have a taste of it? Besides, there is no one to burn this thing and the inflation in the underworld is serious, it may be hard currency.
"Your Highness, the development of the Academy of Sciences will definitely not go smoothly at the beginning. We need to sort it out from the beginning. In the early stage, we must avoid interacting with other yamen as much as possible to avoid any impact. When it grows stronger in the later stage and has its own strength and culture, we can move again or whatever. In the early stage, it is more convenient to operate independently.”
"What's more... isn't it free to stay away from the palace? We will have to come here more often in the future!"
Li Yuanzhao grinned: "Yeah, stay away from the palace and save a lot of trouble. Now I'm really looking forward to what the Academy of Sciences can come up with."
"Your Highness, just wait and see. There will be something that will make your eyes shine."
While the two were chatting and laughing, a young eunuch hurriedly ran out of the palace. He just passed by Fang Zheng and the others and suddenly turned back.
Looking at Fang Zheng, he said flatteringly: "Master Fang, you are here."
Fang Zheng blinked and asked in confusion: "What do you want from me?"
The young eunuch smiled charmingly and said: "It's okay. My servant congratulates Master Fang. The auspicious day has been decided by the Ministry of Etiquette. The Queen's decree orders you to enter the palace tomorrow for a trial marriage."
Li Yuanzhao: "..."
Fang Zhengyi: "..."
The two looked at each other with dull eyes.
Fangzheng's scalp went numb immediately: "Trial marriage? Whose marriage trial? Does this thing even have a trial?"
Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zhengyi with a mysterious expression without saying a word.
The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and explained in a submissive manner: "Of course she is the fifth princess. These are the rules of the palace. Although the auspicious day was chosen, there was a trial marriage before, but it was just a process."
"Old...Fang...don't you explain it?" Li Yuanzhao suddenly stared angrily!
Fang Zheng felt a chill in his body and said in shock: "What am I explaining! No... you listen to my explanation..."
"The princess and I are in love! What do you want to do? What do you want to do??"
Li Yuanzhao approached step by step and pounced, causing the two of them to tangle together.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! What are you doing~ In such a large public...Listen to my explanation!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen! I treat you as a brother, but you are stealing my house!"
Li Yuanzhao didn't show any cruelty, he pinched the flesh on Fang Zheng's arms one by one.
"Ah! Why don't you show some shame! What does my marrying a wife have to do with you!"
Fang Zheng wailed repeatedly, and out of desperation, he shouted: "One hundred short muskets! Three artillery pieces! Don't pinch me, add two thousand rounds of projectiles!"
"make a deal."
Li Yuanzhao gasped and let go of his hand, but still stared at him with a sneer.
Fang Zheng shuddered when he was looked at by the crazy sister-in-law: "You can't go back on your word. Do you still want Miaohan to marry someone else and make her miserable in her life? Do you still want her to be lonely all her life?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanzhao seemed to have lost strength, his shoulders drooped.
With a slumped face, he sighed: "I knew you two were hooking up...there's nothing I can do to stop you. Forget it...forget it, the good news won't go to outsiders."
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "That's right, we will be a family from now on, you have to think about it!"
"It feels so damn weird! ...Remember to send the cannon over tomorrow."
Fang Zheng wiped a cold sweat and said, just give it away. Anyway, I didn't agree to send the shells, so I can shoot them as I please.
The two of them sat on the steps in front of the palace in silence. The little eunuch beside them was already terrified and could neither stay nor leave.
After a long time, Li Yuanzhao said dejectedly: "Be nice to her. This is the girl who has been closest to me since childhood."
"That's natural." Fang Zhengyi finally let go of his worries and asked tentatively: "What does trial marriage mean?"
"What else can it mean? I just want to test whether you are a real man."
"Clam?"
...
