Chapter 564: Royal Academy of Sciences and Imperial University Hall
The Imperial University Hall in Ben Gongzi's mind should set up at least 15 comprehensive university halls in nearly 15 disciplines, such as Chinese Studies, Mathematics and Geometry, Physics, Physical Geography, Chemistry, Medicine, Law, Commerce, Architecture, Machinery, Agriculture and Forestry, and Education.
It is not only necessary to train professional talents for the country, but also to cultivate educational talents who inherit my thinking and open spirit, so as to ensure that within the next 10 years, the entire county-level institutions in Guanzhong will be able to have secondary specialized schools, so as to cultivate talents who have a preliminary understanding of various professional techniques, so as to better contribute to the development of science and technology of the Chinese nation.
As for universities, it is natural to train students with more outstanding talents and knowledge, and even scientific research talents who can innovate in the future.
In addition, I am already considering that in 10 to 15 years, all those who want to enter the official career must have a secondary school education before they can enter the civil service system, so that young people who have the will and sense of national honor under the advanced educational concept can enter politics, so as to push the wheel of the Chinese nation to an unknown but surely beautiful future.
In addition, staff in all professional sectors need to go to the appropriate specialized disciplines for further training in order to improve their professional level and professional competence and, more importantly, to inculcate a national perspective.
And up to now, there are only twenty-one professors in the Imperial University Hall, which used to be called doctors, and there are only seventy-four teaching assistants, and the total number of teachers has not reached a hundred.
As the dean of the college, Yuan Tiangang is now also a teacher of two subjects, mathematics and chemistry. Of course, although this guy has privately complained that he is not allowed to teach fortune-telling doctrine.
Ben Gongzi told him that it was a course that could only be studied at the graduate level, and in the future, if someone was really willing to work with him, then it would be good to train a few more national-level gods and shout specifically for the country's policies.
However, for the fortune-telling thing, if you want to set up a separate discipline, it is absolutely impossible to drop, this son does not want to be scolded in later generations, and he does not want feudal superstition to become the mainstream of the whole society.
It's just that this song in Hokkien really can't be sung, and he can't sing the Hokkien accent, well, it seems that he was distracted again, and he came back to his senses to take a look. Sun Simiao had already recovered from the shock.
"Your Majesty, you're really a big deal, so big." Sun Simiao looked at this drawing and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "When Xiaodao came, he had already heard that His Majesty was in the palace, not only ordered the unbuilt palaces of the former emperor to be demolished, but also only used mud and stone as the house, so humble and upright, no one in the world can reach it. The ancient sage is not as good as His Majesty. ”
Hearing this, Ben Gongzi was quite proud, but there was also something like that, what is called a mud and stone house, this son is not a savage who lives in the cave.
"Don't listen to people's rumors, although I am the Son of Heaven, but where people live, but Xu, building so many palaces and not living in people, isn't it too wasteful? In addition, there were more than enough palaces in the past, and the materials obtained from demolishing those palaces that were only less than half built could be used to repair those main halls in the future. ”
"As for the mud and stone as a house, this is too much, but in the past, when I was still in the Eastern Capital, I accidentally discovered that after firing limestone and clay at high temperatures, you can get a kind of dust, if it is solidified again with water and it, it can be as solid as a rock, and now the real people have traveled all the way from Taibai Mountain, I must have seen it, right?"
Sun Simiao suddenly realized: "Is that cement?" It is no wonder that the strength of this thing is indeed as solid as a rock, so that the road is built, and the pedestrians, vehicles and horses have a smooth road, and His Majesty is really talented. I don't know how much this cement costs? Compared to wood......"
I patiently answered Sun Simiao's questions one by one, and told him that at present, the site has been demarcated, and the designers and surveyors have also begun to be busy, striving to build the main buildings in the most suitable location.
In addition, this comprehensive Imperial College, each discipline, will have its own main teaching building, which is expected to accommodate 10,000 to 15,000 people to study and live here at the same time.
To this end, a building that can accommodate 20,000 people will be built here, and of course, the student dormitory will be modeled after the school dormitory where the later generations of Honkomi lived.
However, only four students are allowed to live together in each dormitory, which means that two double beds are sufficient. Each room is approximately 25 square meters and has a separate bathroom.
For this reason, an area will be set aside as a teacher's dormitory area according to the specifications of low-rent housing in Hancheng County, and each teacher will be able to get a four-bedroom, one-living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms in a house, and will also have a large balcony with eight square meters and a small balcony with five square meters. In the front and back of each teacher's dormitory building, there will be a small courtyard of about forty or fifty square meters.
“…… In this way, teachers no longer need to travel and work hard, they can teach nearby, and students can study in the college without worrying about livelihood and other worries. Those things, just wait until they graduate to worry about it. "It's rare for someone to like to listen to Ben Gongzi show off so much, so Ben Gongzi is very interested, and Sun Simiao listens intently and sighs with emotion.
“…… Such a university hall is absolutely unprecedented in the world. I'm afraid it's a lot of money, right? Sun Simiao's words made my son a little bitter.
"Yes, the total budget of the college is 5 million yuan, and the first phase of the project will be completed in the late autumn of this year, with a total construction period of three years. After the college is fully completed, it will need to invest about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan per year for the first five years. I squeezed out a sad smile and said.
Hearing this, Sun Simiao couldn't help but gasp, and his eyes bulged: "Five, five million? God, isn't this equivalent to more than a year's total tax income of the court? ”
"That's not it, I built several such universities with my tax revenue last year. It's just that the cabinet is only willing to give one million. I shook my head, helpless.
There is no way, all industries are waiting to be developed, and the land under the rule of this son has built roads, vigorously supported industry, commerce and agriculture, these are all jaw-dropping huge sums of money.
Fortunately, last year's tax revenue was good, and the sale of grain knocked all the heroes in the world hard, and the treasury finally did not have an unsustainable situation, but even so, if you want to squeeze out more consistent money from the treasury, you have to look at Fang Xuanling's old guy's face.
When collecting money, Fang Xuanling was kind and ruthless, but if he wanted to take money from the treasury, this guy was like a grand platform that only used a wick in the dark night.
Ben Gongzi tried his best to invite Wei Zheng, the future head of the law department, to use his lips and tongue, so that Fang Xuanling squeezed out 155 yuan as a special expenditure for education funds.
Fang Xuanling, the big steward of the country's finances, does have his difficulties, although there seems to be a lot of money in the treasury. But there are more places where you need to invest money. All walks of life need money to invest.
Let's just say that I have set up more than 10 ministries and commissions, and if these ministries and commissions want to do practical things, they not only need a large number of people, but also need sufficient funds. Otherwise, you can't let those civil servants walk thousands of miles on their own legs to survey and survey the routes suitable for road construction, right?
And a large number of infrastructure construction is the most expensive silk, although a large number of infrastructure construction, can drive a large number of factories to build, reduce more idle personnel, but the early investment is really not small.
In addition, how much money is in the treasury, can not be spent all, always have to keep enough money, in the event of an accident, to ensure the stability of the country and Villa, for example, if Yixian County was flooded, resulting in a county without harvest, but also caused a lot of houses to collapse, the people suffered very heavy losses, they lack the ability to save themselves, what should I do? Naturally, the state needs to intervene.
If you want to arrange a large number of people to rush to disaster relief, rebuild houses for the people, ensure their food rations and crop crops for the coming year, clean up the rubble, pay attention to post-disaster epidemic prevention, and so on, the amount of money and food spent will definitely not be small.
In addition, every time a war is launched, the amount of money and food consumed is also astronomical, and there is no old bottom, so wait for the country to fall into chaos.
Therefore, I can also understand Fang Xuanling's distress, for this reason, this son made a decision to have the state contribute 1.5 million yuan, and I myself took out 3.5 million yuan.
However, I also put forward my own request, since this son is the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and he has contributed so much money, then, I ask that the name of the Imperial Academy of Sciences be changed to the Royal Academy of Sciences of China.
In addition, Ben Gongzi will serve as the honorary president of the Imperial University Hall, so that in the future, these academy elites will become my students, which will be of great benefit to Ben Gongzi's reputation and ideological inheritance.
For things that don't cost money, Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed without even thinking about it. After all, this does not require a penny of money from the treasury, besides, according to the thinking of this era, the whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
Not to mention that it is called the Huaxia Royal Academy of Sciences, even if it is called the Changsun Academy, it is no problem, after accidentally hearing the discussion of these two guys, this son was depressed for several days.
But fortunately, under the comfort of the two mothers-in-law in turn, my son finally regained his spirit, but in fact, it is nothing, isn't it money? My son may lack anything else now, but there is really no shortage of money.
