Red Alert 1895

Next, it's the final reward for agriculture, but agriculture is special. 『』Because in the whole world, I can't find a person who can study agriculture and make achievements. In the whole world, there is no one who is qualified to receive a scholarship in agriculture. Because in this era, the world's major powers have abundant colonies, and a large amount of their land has been developed, but the whole world generally presents a situation where there are fewer people and more land. Especially the Western colonists, who own a lot of land in Africa and Southeast Asia. Provide them with all kinds of food, industrial raw materials, etc., and they have no shortage of agricultural resources at all.

In the absence of such agricultural resources, it is not surprising that there is no motivation to study agriculture. Only in later generations, after World War II, colonies all over the world began to fly and become independent, and then Western countries lost a large number of colonies and sources of industrial raw materials, so that they also began to pay attention to agriculture. Pay attention to increasing production on limited land, so as to maintain their industrial system. Farming is unstable. Agriculture is the foundation of industry. Once agriculture cannot be guaranteed, industry will also be out of the question.

In terms of agricultural development in later generations, China is actually at the forefront of the world, and China's agricultural development in later generations is actually world-class. Why this is so is not because China worked so hard, but because they were forced to do so. China's arable land resources are dwindling day by day, so it is forced to study agriculture hard to ensure the safety of the country's food and industrial raw materials. But at present there is no such pressure, and without this resource pressure, no one in the world would be able to study agriculture.

"About agricultural awards, we are currently posthumously awarding those who have contributed to agriculture with our ancestors, and the awards they received will be used to establish an agricultural museum dedicated to collecting the history of agricultural development in our country for several years. And these can The posthumous awardees are Jia Sixie, Chen Yan, Wang Zhen, Xu Guangqi, Ma Yilong, and Yang Qi. This posthumous award only looks at their agricultural achievements, not their political stance and moral character."

Wang Guorui gave posthumous awards to these ancient Chinese agriculturalists. It is an affirmation to those of them who studied agriculture in ancient times. Ancient China attached great importance to agricultural development, which caused some people to study agriculture, but they were at the forefront of the world. Jia Sixie wrote "Qi Min Yao Shu", and others have also published works. However, according to Wang Guorui's standards, some of them must have some "moral" problems. For example, Jia Sixie used to be the prefect of Gaoyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to the conclusion of Wang Guorui's new court, the Northern Wei Dynasty belonged to the category of invaders. Therefore, if Jia Sixie is in the history books, it can be written as a traitor. The same is true for Wang Zhen. He was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, so he is also a traitor.

However, since Wang Guorui stated that the Ascension Award does not distinguish between nationality, skin color, race and gender, of course it also includes political stances. This take-off award can be obtained by anyone, as long as he is alone, so Wang Guorui stated in advance that this award is posthumous for their contribution to agricultural development. Not posthumously for their political affiliation.

As for the last special contribution award for technological development, it was also posthumously awarded to the ancients. Wang Guorui didn't plan to accept this award by himself, otherwise the food would be too ugly. The Special Contribution Award for Scientific Development was awarded to Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty and Song Yingxing of the Ming Dynasty. Shen Kuo is the author of China's first encyclopedia, which is called "Mengxi Bi Tan", and the oil commonly used by humans is named from there. Shen Kuo can be said to be the first recorded person who discovered oil and recorded it in books. Mengxi Bi Tan is an out-and-out encyclopedia, the earliest encyclopedia. certainly. Shen Kuo is not the inventor of these technologies, he is just a collector. The same is true for Song Yingxing in the back. They are just collectors of these technologies, not researchers, and they don't have much innovation. However, they seem to have made great contributions to the preservation and passing down of these, so that they will not be annihilated because of history, and the inheritance will not be broken. This can be regarded as a great special contribution to the development of science. So this special contribution award was awarded posthumously to them.

Some of them, though, are sure to pay for their political stance, because what comes next is the big game.

"Since ancient times, scientific research has been called strange skills and obscenities, and has not been valued by the court. Many people do their own research, but they are discriminated against by everyone. And too many people study to become officials. They think that only This is the way to become an official. However, I think that these people who study science have definitely contributed more than those officials. Some people think that they study these things, spend time and energy, and work hard for decades, but in the end they get nothing. Money, wealth and interests. But I think that in this world, there are those who work hard, some who plead for the people, some who work hard, and some who sacrifice their lives to seek the law. Those ancient scientific researchers have worked hard for decades , do not seek fame and wealth, do not seek gold and silver wealth, do not seek wives and concubines, just hope that all our people can live better. Aren't they the real heroes? They are the real heroes, they gave up for scientific research They spent their youth for fame and wealth, so I think they should be rewarded heavily. Therefore, I plan to posthumously confer titles on them."

It is also common for future emperors to posthumously award titles and honors to the ancients of the previous dynasty or some celebrities in the previous dynasty. For example, the Tang Dynasty posthumously awarded Jiang Taigong the status of a martial sage, while the Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty both posthumously awarded the status of a martial sage to Yu Yu. And many other later dynasties also granted some titles to some famous officials of the previous dynasties, which is also a common thing. Anyway, these posthumous titles, anyway, those people have been burping for many years, and these titles will not really give those benefits, nor will they be a fief, just an honorary title. Therefore, many future emperors are also willing to confer high titles at every turn. After all, these people will not fight with you for profit, but instead play a role in winning people's hearts and erecting moral values.

However, it is the first time to posthumously confer titles on ancient scientific and technological personnel. In ancient times, the development of science and technology was not valued at all, so no one who studied science would gain official positions and titles. This made ancient scientific researchers have a low status and spent their youth in vain. Therefore, many ancient people were unwilling to study science, and neither gained fame nor profit, so their enthusiasm was not great. This world is still very realistic. Without fame and fortune as an attraction, it is really difficult to stimulate people's development. If you rely on dedication alone, it will be too difficult. Didn't the gringos also rely on patents to greatly increase the speed of local development of science and technology? Therefore, Westerners can develop rapidly and quickly catch up with China. Apart from the lack of power of the emperors in the Qing Dynasty, there is another important reason, which is the patent issue.

Those foreign devils gave scientists patents, allowing them to obtain wealth benefits, and even gave scientists various honorary titles, and many of them even won titles. Doesn't this make everyone enthusiastic about scientific research? Everyone feels that it is profitable to engage in science, so don't they all scramble to do research? This patent and honor is definitely an important reason to stimulate scientific development.

Now that Wang Guorui conferred titles on those ancient scientific researchers, he also valued them.

"Mozi was posthumously awarded in the pre-Qin period... Zhang Heng was posthumously granted the title of County Duke in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun was posthumously granted the title of County Duke in the Eastern Han Dynasty... Zu Chongzhi was posthumously awarded the title of County Duke in the Southern Dynasties Liu and Song Dynasty... Posthumously awarded the title of County Duke in the Song Dynasty Bi Sheng and Shen Kuo was the Duke of the State...Ming Dynasty Xu Guangqi is the Duke of the State, Song Yingxing is the Duke of the State..."

Wang Guorui's edict was really crazy enough. He directly conferred titles on no less than 60 people at once. Almost all those who had some achievements in science were awarded titles. Even the title is not low, even the **** Cai Lun is a magistrate, and the others are all above the magistrate. Anyone who has some achievements can also be awarded a posthumous title. Of course, some political positions are not good, for example, Jia Sixie was an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or Wang Zhen was an official in the Yuan Dynasty. They suffered a disadvantage in this respect. Although it can be obtained when the award in agriculture is posthumous, it cannot be obtained in terms of knighthood. Therefore, those who were on the wrong side of political positions in history would not be able to obtain knighthood awards.

And Wang Guoruina is called generous, with more than sixty titles in one day, and none of them is even low. They are often above county magistrates, and many are state magistrates. You must know that many people did not have the lowest titles in which dynasty they lived in, but when it came to Wang Guorui, everyone was above the county magistrate. Even Cai Lun, an eunuch, can get the Duke of the State~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because he invented papermaking.

"In the future, everyone's enthusiasm for science will definitely increase greatly. Because they should have a comparison. General Hu Wei is the commander of our army, but he just won the county magistrate. And those scientific researches in ancient times Or, if one of them is able to win the title of county magistrate or above, then there should be many talents willing to devote themselves to scientific research." Wang Guorui thought.

Wang Guorui hopes to posthumously award honors and titles to those ancient scientific researchers, which is actually completely symbolic. Wang Guorui hopes to justify scientific research and change the public's image of scientific researchers. Let them know that engaging in scientific research can bring both fame and fortune. And if you engage in scientific research, you can get a knighthood! Especially the title of title is enough to make a large group of people lose their heads. Of course, it is not easy for a living scientific researcher to get a title. But Wang Guorui's titles are for the dead, so the county duke titles are all wholesaled as much as he wants. Anyway, it's for the dead, so I won't compete with you for profit, and I'm not afraid of anything too high.

Of course, if it is higher, it can also improve the public's image of scientific researchers. After all, anyone who studies science can get the title of duke of the country, so who is not tempted! As long as the common people think that engaging in scientific research is gaining benefits, science can also be rectified. (to be continued.) u
