Chapter 210 Li Shizhen’s Good News
Winter turns to spring, and another year comes.
But spring in the north is always later than spring in the south.
Zhu Zaijing wore a black mink fur cloak and stepped on the ground where the snow had not yet melted. The snow he stepped on also made a "red, red, red" sound, as if he was stepping on it. It was like a screaming chicken that was out of breath.
"My lord, why did you come here in person?"
Teng Xiang, Chen Hong, Li Fang and Zhang Tianci from the Shunyi Industrial Park quickly came to the gate and bowed to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing chuckled, "What? Don't you welcome me?"
Teng Xiang and others quickly accused him: "I don't dare, it's just that it's too cold. I'm afraid that the prince's noble body will be frozen."
Zhu Zaijing smiled again: "Don't worry, I'm not that vain."
Teng Xiang and others heard Zhu Zaijing's smile. The sound was heard, and everyone laughed too.
Yes, the prince is the champion of the three armies. He can frighten the Tatars to the point of urinating when he mounts his horse and raises his sword. How can he be weak?
"Don't just stand there stupidly. This king is here to ask for Dr. Li. He sent a message to me saying that he had good news, but I didn't waste a moment and came in a hurry."< br>
Zhu Zaijing rushed to Shunyi Industrial Park this time because of Li Shizhen.
After so long efforts and research, Li Shizhen finally made a breakthrough.
So he immediately conveyed the good news to Zhu Zaijing.
After Zhu Zaijing received the good news, he was also overjoyed. He quickly left the palace and left the capital to come to Shunyi Industrial Park.
Walking on the avenue in Shunyi Industrial Park, Zhu Zaijing looked at the clean roads and orderly pedestrians in the park. Zhu Zaijing felt extremely happy.
This is his place of hope!
"Is Director Zhang still used to being here in Shunyi? Do you want to go back to the Ministry of Industry? You are the hereditary head of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank, and you are the only one in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Zai Jing looked at Zhang Tianci who was following behind him and couldn't help but make a joke.
After Zhang Tianci heard Zhu Zaijing's joke, he waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, no, the villain is very self-aware of how much he weighs. Without the guidance and trust of the prince, where would the villain be today?" People like it very much in Shunyi!”
Zhu Zaijing smiled again: “As long as you like it, after you finish supervising the design of the third and fourth phases of the Shunyi Industrial Park, I may I will transfer you to the capital for a while. Now you can work hard here, and I will not treat you badly!"
Zhang Tianci bowed to Zhu Zaijing excitedly: " Thank you, my lord!”
After chatting with Zhang Tianci for a few words, Zhu Zaijing finally reached the location of the second phase.
The second phase of Shunyi Industrial Park is more like a functional area. In addition to the "Medical Academy" led by Li Shizhen, the design institute managed by Zhang Tianci is also here.
In addition, Zhu Zaijing also consciously included some experimental scientific research in this area.
The purpose is to create a working environment where we can compete with each other and encourage each other.
However, the foundation of some things is really poor. The thinking of these ordinary craftsmen is too rigid, and most of them are illiterate.
Old craftsmen who have skills in their hands also like to hide their secrets, lest they teach their apprentices to starve to death.
So Zhu Zaijing does not have high hopes for such a group of old craftsmen. What he is focusing on now is cultivating some new craftsmen who are strong in practical skills and have their own ideas. The current main sources of these new craftsmen are also concentrated in the children of workers in Shunyi, Tongzhou, Huairou, Miyun and other places.
Their foundation is also very poor, so in order for them to show their value, Zhu Zaijing has to invest heavily in education costs to further educate and select the elite talents among them.
So sometimes Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but think, how great it would be if he could recruit a group of scholars who had nothing to do in the south and liked to invent and create!
It's a pity that these people are from gentry families who have no worries about food and drink. Most of them playing with these inventions and creations are extremely boring activities after studying.
There are people who really devote themselves to research, but they are also people who can't get high or low in school, and can't pass the imperial examination or Jinshi.
And these people are even more difficult to deal with. If there is not enough fame and fortune to lure them, there is no way to trick them into coming to the capital to invent and create.
Because in their opinion, they make these inventions purely as a hobby. If someone regards them as craftsmen instead of scholars, they will definitely turn their backs.
So, if you want to win over these knowledgeable and talented talents, unless Zhu Zaijing can promise them enough fame, wealth and status of honoring your ancestors.
Otherwise, they would rather entertain themselves alone in their hometown in the south than leave their hometown to be used by Zhu Zaijing in the capital.
Therefore, if we want to change this problem, we must either give Zhu Zaijing the power to reward and be kind; or we must make great efforts to fundamentally change the concept and improve the status of craftsmen.
But the difficulty of this point cannot be achieved in a day.
After all, after more than two thousand years of Confucian consciousness baptism, the hierarchical order of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has been deeply engraved in the bones.
At this time, it is definitely difficult to get them to understand that "work" can be more valuable and promising than "official".
After all, in this era, no scholar who cultivates, studies and inherits the family does not want to brand his family as a "worker".
Once a family that is based on farming and reading is branded as a "worker", they may not be able to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives, and may even feel sorry for their ancestors.
The reason why such a distorted social phenomenon occurs is, in the final analysis, caused by the fundamental ruling structure of external Confucianism and internal law.
This social model naturally divides people into three, six or nine grades, and naturally links the "scholar" level with scholars.
Sun Tzu wants to change the status quo, how difficult it is!
Unless you want to change your own life, but obviously this is unrealistic.
And this reform may not be successful...
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing will naturally not be stupid enough to do that kind of thing of "picking up the bowl to eat, throwing down the bowl and scolding the mother".
After all, his current status is a distinguished prince second only to the emperor, and he seems to be living a good life without any hatred.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing decided to let go of those inventors who valued the reputation of "scholars" more than their lives, and then went to get them when suitable opportunities and methods were available. .
At this stage, we should focus on training ourselves first. Anyway, Zhu Zaijing can still afford to raise hundreds or even thousands of young people who specialize in learning technology.
When they walked to the front of the Medical College, Li Shizhen and his disciples also came out to welcome him.
Now Li Shizhen already knows the existence of "bacteria" and "viruses", so he attaches great importance to cleaning and disinfection within the medical college. For this reason, he specially asked one of his disciples to take the lead in developing disinfectant potion.
In addition, Zhu Zaijing also strongly supported Li Shizhen's arrangement, and directly set up a special team for Li Shizhen, a disciple, so that he could concentrate on researching disinfectants.
