Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Li Yuanzhao, clinging to the edge of the stage, observed from behind for a long time. Seeing the lively scene, a hint of worry appeared on his face.

Turning his head, he said, "Old Fang, I don't think your approach is right. The academic atmosphere is not proper! My teachers all taught that one should maintain purity and humility to focus on studies. Isn't the Academy of Sciences supposed to do research? How can we do good research with material desires running rampant in the future?"

Fang Zheng glanced at Li Yuanzhao and smiled, "What Your Highness says is true, but Your Highness can suggest plain living for study, and the court officials can suggest it, but it cannot be suggested to the common people, because they really have no money. Plain living for study is just a last resort."

Plain living for study, rejecting the interference of material desires, sounds very reasonable.

But in fact, people without money are more likely to be disturbed by material desires.

Having never eaten anything good or played with anything fun, they get restless at the sight of a beautiful woman.

All beautiful things are separated by a veil, doubling the temptation! Most of their energy is spent resisting their own desires.

In fact, the earliest scientists in the modern sense were almost all wealthy and leisurely nobles. They engaged in research to add some fun to their boring lives.

If Sakyamuni wanted to become a Buddha, he had to be a prince first!

They have eaten, played, and seen everything, and are tired of everything, so they can only launch an attack on the truth and seek higher stimulation.

The saying that the Buddha saves those with money is not without reason. If you have no money, what are you going to cultivate! Having never seen the colorful world, you will instantly fail when faced with temptation!

Of course, there are exceptions among those who do not have a good background.

The famous Sir Isaac Newton was an exception, as was the electric king Nikola Tesla.

But not only did their brain convolutions differ from those of normal people, but at that time, many countries had already established royal academies of sciences and constructed relatively complete education and promotion systems.

The British Royal Academy of Sciences was born, while the Manchus were still busy entering the pass at the same time.

"Your Highness, what we should be focusing on now is the issue of dissemination, not the issue of teaching and educating people. As long as we can successfully recruit students with potential, everything else is a minor matter."

"Moreover, in fact, even if people have money, it is difficult for them to remain idle and play crazily every day! I dare to guarantee that at most, he will play purely for two months, and he will immediately feel unbearable and want to get down to business."

This is the same as people who don't have a girlfriend fantasizing every day that if they had a girlfriend, they would have to do it twenty times a day.

They think about it every day, from the kitchen to the toilet to the balcony, and then to the bedroom...

As a result, after having a girlfriend, they gradually become enlightened in less than two months and quickly grow into mature men who have broken away from low-level tastes.

As soon as his wife asks, he'll be smoking a cigarette, looking decadent: "I'm tired from work today, how about tomorrow... I'll owe you this time."

He'll put it off for as long as he can.

Li Yuanzhao smiled: "Old Fang, you're talking nonsense. There are countless princes in the capital who have been playing for years without getting tired."

Is that because he wants to play! Does he have a choice? He's purely numbing himself!

Fang Zheng complained a few words in his heart, and then said: "Your Highness, such people are, after all, a minority. Have you heard the story of the Bat Knight of Taoyuan County?"

Li Yuanzhao smacked his lips, recalled for a while, and said: "I saw it on a book stall in your county. It seems you made it up... Isn't it the one where the Bat Knight catches and releases, releases and catches? Old Fang, I say you made up this story poorly, his brain seems to be missing something."

Fang Zheng was ashamed. As expected, Batman is not adapted to the local conditions... He originally told it to the people in the county when he was bored, but he didn't expect to be despised now.

"What Your Highness says is true, the Bat Knight is just a pure idiot. There is no perfect system in the world, and all systems are designed for the vast majority of people. Inevitably, there will always be exceptions. Since they are exceptions, then special arrangements can be made. It's like the mutated monsters that appear in stories, just kill them!"

"Our Academy of Sciences is also the same. In the future, if someone really becomes talented, passes the college entrance examination, enters the Royal Academy of Sciences, and still thinks about enjoying themselves all day long without producing results, then just fire them directly. The principle is that simple."

"Moreover, there are some situations that Your Highness has not thought of..." Fang Zheng paused at this point.

Li Yuanzhao quickly asked: "What is it that I haven't thought of?"

Fang Zheng sighed and said: "We are recruiting commoners, all poor people, inferior and sensitive, who can't let go for the rest of their lives."

"Without courage, they can't unleash their imagination. Sometimes imagination is more important than foundation for scientists."

"So we have to give them a bright future and let them see real money!"

Money is the courage of heroes... This is especially true for ordinary people. It is too slow to cultivate confidence little by little, so Fang Zheng can only choose physical courage.

Li Yuanzhao also began to think thoughtfully.

After a long time, he also sighed: "What you said makes sense... Perhaps it is because I have always lived in comfort and cannot understand what the common people think. You have experience, so let's do it this way for now, and adjust it if it doesn't work."

After saying that, he turned his head and went to watch the interview again.

On Banshan Square, the 'scientists' of Taoyuan County were in the midst of a hot interview.

As for the content of the interview, it was quite simple!

First, take a look to see if they are foolish, dull, and silly, and if there is light in their eyes, then ask a few simple questions.

At this moment, Mo Xiaohu, who came from the county's ordnance department, was interviewing on the stage, feeling a headache looking at the sea of people.

Adding the gilded iron chain hanging around his neck made him even more uncomfortable... Fortunately, he had beauties accompanying him, and bursts of fragrance were enough to refresh him.

After just interviewing one person, the person behind him quickly sat down and said with admiration: "Hello, scientist, my name is Tian Wu."

Mo Xiaohu pushed his sunglasses and said helplessly: "Brother, you're fifty years old, right."

"I'm only twenty-seven, I look old from working hard."

"Okay... Tian Wu, right, come, read the words on the table first."

Tian Wu licked his lips, looked down at the words, looked at them twice, and raised his head a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know how to read."

"It doesn't matter, I'll ask and you answer, what is eighty-seven plus twenty-three? Answer immediately!"

Tian Wu fiddled with his fingers and said: "Ninety-six?"

"Next!"

Tian Wu walked away dejectedly.

Mo Xiaohu rubbed his temples. Most of the morning had been like this. They didn't know how to read, and they couldn't even figure out addition and subtraction within a hundred.

It was really a headache!

Fortunately, the next candidate cheered Mo Xiaohu up a bit.

The young man in front of him was wearing a Confucian robe that looked like it had been washed countless times, and had a poor and sour temperament.

But he had light in his eyes, and looked very intelligent.

"Hello, interviewer, my name is Xiao Letian."

"Okay, read the words on the table."

Xiao Letian looked down and his eyes lit up, and he read: "I throw myself on books like a hungry man throws himself on bread. ---- Fang Zheng."

"I will only engage in one career in my life, to strive for the glory of Da Jing! ---- Fang Zheng."

"People are all horse lives, and horses die standing up. As long as there is a breath left, you must work. --- To the workers."
