Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 472 Postwar Recovery: The Birth of the Computer ()

In the eighteenth year of Wanli, the world's first computer was born.

Researching the use of computers is for spacecrafts. Researching computers is also an accident. Success in research is even more of an accident.

Ming Dynasty can be at the forefront of the times mainly by unleashing human nature.

Pay more attention to people's inner pursuits instead of mechanical reading; pay more attention to the spiritual needs of talents instead of material requirements; pay more attention to free nature and the pursuit of the heart instead of eating the same food and doing the same things.

Some people study to find a job.

For some people, learning is a hobby.

Obviously, people who are interested in learning will achieve higher results than the former.

Ming Dynasty adopted this method in grassroots education to pursue students' life value instead of forcing children to study books and take exams.

If a trained engineer becomes a cement worker, he will not be criticized by the whole society, and there will be no misconception that engineers are superior and cement workers are inferior.

Studying and working are personal freedoms.

Others have no right to interfere with anyone's freedom.

Why can't engineers be cement workers?
Shame?

So why do cement workers become cement workers?
The purpose of learning is to acquire knowledge, not to acquire a job.

This is a question of putting the cart before the horse.

Engineers are tired of the intrigues in the workplace and are willing to work hard as cement workers to make money. Where is the shame?

Therefore, he does not need to face strange eyes from all walks of life. Others do not have the power to decide other people's personal lives. This is freedom.

Cement workers also should not be ridiculed by society. Cement workers also rely on their hands to make a living. Where is the shame?

From the Jingtai Dynasty to the present, the core of Ming education is to be a person first and then do things.

Whether there is good public order and good customs in society starts with education.

A person who works as a question writer in a small town will never be able to obtain the happiness of learning. The knowledge he learns is just for exams and cannot benefit him for life.

Not all children are interested in learning.

Then schools are needed to amplify children's talents and let them choose what they like to do. Some children like to move bricks. If they move bricks, they may be able to move a millionaire; some children like football, who dares? What if he is guaranteed not to become a football star?

This is the underlying logic of Ming education.

Magnify children’s talents and give them the right to choose.

But there must be some children who will say, I choose to lie down.

Sorry, Ming Dynasty does not have this option.

During the Zhengde Dynasty, there was a lot of nibbling on the elderly among the people. The imperial court proposed regulations prohibiting young people from nibbling on the elderly, and alienated family relationships to make people become independent.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight, and the kinship relationship in the Ming Dynasty is deeply rooted, visiting relatives and friends is deeply rooted, and the kinship system is deeply rooted.

It will take at least two hundred years to completely change it.

However, chewing on old age is definitely not an option.

Families can give each other love, but not money.

The family affection of giving money deteriorates. As long as a child reaches the age where he should work, he must work. This is what Ming Dynasty has been doing for nearly fifty years.

The underlying educational logic ends here.

Cultivate children's independent hands-on ability and independence, and tap into children's talents and interests.

Then change the social ecology.

First, we must break the official-based political system.

The Ming Dynasty was a feudal country, and everyone was inferior in everything except education. Being an official was definitely the highest social class.

But in the Zhengde Dynasty, this concept was broken.

First of all, it breaks the privileges that officials have to appear on the street like ordinary people, and they cannot shout in front of or behind them, or be picked up or dropped off by private cars.

Secondly, it broke the traditional hierarchy between officials and common people and instilled the concept of equality.

Tell the people directly that there is no difference between officials and you. Don't pursue the idea that officials are superior. This is wrong.

Third, take back the privileges of officials and require officials to walk and eat on the streets like ordinary people, and have normal contact with ordinary people without enjoying any privileges.

Fourth, officials should set an example and break the so-called occupational discrimination in society. Everyone in the society is equal and has the right to freely choose marriage and career.

Wait for dozens.

The core idea is that cleaners are no more noble than political envoys. An academic expert who gives up his studies and sets up a street vendor will definitely not face social discrimination.

Because the choice of career comes from the heart, rather than based on various perspectives. This is a wrong view of career choice.

Emperor Zhengde was stepped into the mud, which was directly related to these so-called prohibitions.

Therefore, if you want to release children's nature, you need underlying educational logic and a non-discriminatory social environment, both of which are indispensable. If children's thoughts are always hindered by three aunts and six grandmothers, then the purpose of this child's learning knowledge is to make money and to compare, and he has never asked himself what he wants in his heart.

He may not know.

And such children will only accelerate the ineffective involution of society and are nothing more than mass-produced workers.

Such children can never become scientists.

Maybe it takes one million children to give birth to a scientist, but no one knows who the scientist is. If you kill one, you may kill a future scientist.

The idea of ​​​​education was also discovered after Daming spent fifty years in exam-oriented education, so Daming adjusted the engine in time and changed the idea of ​​​​education.

Over the years, many scientists have been born in Ming Dynasty.

But successful scientists are few and far between.

In fact, another necessary factor is that the imperial court will provide policy support for scientists’ research projects.

Don’t think that scientists are all good people, they will still defraud investors.

Many times they deceive each other.

The purpose of the government's subsidies is to allow more people to participate in scientific research.

Scientific research is not a treat, but requires a flash of inspiration and then putting the inspiration into practice.

This is the underlying logic behind the birth of scientific research.

You have to be inspired first.

Then let people have the conditions to put it into practice.

The Ming Dynasty invested 12% of its fiscal revenue into scientific research every year to support scientific research.

It just so happens that the field of scientific research is also in terrible shape.

The most liar.

Many people are scientists packaged by the capital behind them, just to defraud investment.

Because of the investment from the imperial court, investors from all walks of life must come in to invest, which created a scientific research craze that lasted for fifty years.

You can imagine how much hot money there is in it.

It will definitely create a lot of scammers.

By the time of the Wanli Dynasty, the court had been very cautious in distributing subsidies. There would definitely be good projects being missed, and there was no way around it.

During the Longqing Dynasty, the imperial court lost a huge amount of scientific research funds.

The Ming Dynasty's scientific research funds are this subsidy. They are not just given to you, but a kind of investment. The imperial court invests in scientific research institutes. If you make money, you have to distribute dividends to the imperial court. It is equivalent to saying that the imperial court is an investment company. Signing with you is an investment contract.

The conditions for private capital are even more stringent. They are all investments, not free.

So there are many scammers.

The main reason for the Wanli Dynasty's tightening was that the fiscal revenue was too low and they were helpless. When Zhang Juzheng checked the accounts, he found that many people had cheated money. When he checked the accounts again, he almost made Zhang Juzheng angry to death.

Zhang Juzheng discovered that it was not just money fraud, but a partnership to steal scientific research secrets, then resell them, then go back and cheat again, repeatedly harvesting Ming's wool.

There are many such things.

Coupled with the intense war at that time, the imperial court directly stopped funding for scientific research.

In recent years, the court's funding has been slightly looser, and subsidies have been restored to encourage scientific research.

So the Ming Dynasty gave birth to the world's first computer.

The birth of this computer was purely accidental.

It was just a spark, accidentally ignited by Ming.

But this spark takes a hundred years to accumulate, from the political structure, the top-down context, the underlying social ecology, etc.

Only then did this spark ignite the light.

Light up the future.

This is the root of the third technological revolution. Whoever masters computers first will continue to lead the world for a hundred years.

Don’t think that if you master the computer, you will master the next hundred years.

Big mistakes.

Master the computer, but you also need the military strength to protect it.

Otherwise, developing computers would also be the original sin.
