Brothers Chao Fang and Chao Yuan were also invited to attend the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award ceremony today.

"Brother, who do you think this year's Datang Royal Science and Technology Award for Medicine will be awarded to?"

Today there are a lot of big shots. Although the two minor characters Chao Fang and Chao Yuan are lucky enough to attend the award ceremony, they definitely don't expect anyone to pay special attention to them after entering the venue.

So the two brothers simply found a seat in the back row and sat there quietly chatting.

"It's hard to say, but if you really want to say it, there are many things that deserve awards and recognition in recent years, such as the health pill. A simple pill can eliminate so much pain. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a miracle drug; the most important thing is

It can also be produced on a large scale so that ordinary people can afford it."

Chao Fang is now scheduled to go to Guanshishan Academy Medical College to take classes or attend lectures every now and then, so he is naturally very familiar with the affairs of the medical school.

Of course, he never thought that this medical award would be awarded to someone other than Guanshishan Academy.

"That's true. From the intestinal carbuncle surgery invented by His Royal Highness King Chu, to the subsequent alcohol disinfection, and then to the subsequent various surgical operations, the emergence of each thing has saved many lives.

Even the recent Liuwei Diwang Pill is a strange medicine. Not only is it very effective, but it is also cheap. It is said that the noble disciples in Chang'an City have it in almost every household. Tianxiang Pavilion and other places even prepare Liuwei for their guests at any time.

Diwangwan.

There is also the fairy water. It is said that it is very simple to make, but it is very effective. As for skin diseases, there is almost no problem that the fairy water cannot solve. Even if it cannot be cured, it can alleviate it, which really solves the hidden worries of countless people.

."

Although Chao Yuan felt that his beauty cream was one of the best in the world, he came up with it accidentally after studying the materials of health pills. He did not expect that this beauty cream would win him an award.

"The discovery of the bacteria and the promotion of caesarean section are of extraordinary significance. In short, any of these things is qualified to win the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award. It depends on what kind of example His Highness the King of Chu wants to set."

What Chao Fang said was quite clear.

To put it bluntly, the award this time is to see what Li Kuan wants to convey to others.

Anyway, in recent years, whether it is medicine or agriculture, a lot of achievements have been accumulated. If you take any one of them, you will be speechless.

"That's true, but looking at what it looks like today, the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award is not small. Although the people who may win the award today are people from Guanshishan Academy, I am sure that next year, or the year after next at the latest, there will be

There are other people who have won awards.”

When Chao Yuan received the invitation, he didn't take it seriously at first.

Later I found out that the invitation was so valuable, and that as the manager of a medical clinic, I was able to participate, the meaning behind it was worth pondering.

Everyone is not stupid, so it is easy to guess what Li Kuan's intentions are behind his back.

"Don't talk yet. It seems that His Majesty and Princess Chu are here. It seems that the award ceremony will start soon."

Chao Fang felt the lively atmosphere outside the lecture hall and pulled Chao Yuan to stand up from his seat, preparing to greet the big boss who was about to enter.

…

"Uncle Han Wang, you said that Li Kuan is so interested in science, is this thing really that good?"

In the team, Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang walked together towards the lecture hall.

During this period of time, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang has been getting better and better, and they can be said to be on the same page.

As the son of Li Yuan, Han King Li Yuanchang still had some influence in Chang'an City.

In addition, his calligraphy and painting were outstanding among the clan members, and he really had some appeal among the scholars.

Li Chengqian's own talents were not as good as Li Tai's, and his relationship with the scholars and students in Chang'an City was even worse than Li Tai's.

Now there is Li Yuanchang helping to win over scholars, which has just made up for one of his shortcomings.

"Your Highness, I haven't figured out the role of this science yet; but I see that today's awards include medicine and agriculture. These two things are actually very capable of winning people's hearts.

I heard that last year Li Kuan went to Jiangnan Province and other places to promote Nanyang rice, and achieved a bumper harvest that year. The people there almost worshiped him as a god. And that medicine, not to mention other things, just caesarean section,

How many people’s hearts have you won?”

Although Li Yuanchang's mind is relatively narrow, he was born into a royal family and his vision is actually not bad.

If we just keep doing our own calligraphy and painting in peace, there might be another calligrapher and painter in the early Tang Dynasty.

"But as far as I know, many ministers in the DPRK actually criticize science, and the great scholars in the Imperial College are collectively opposed to science. Do you think it is better for me to support science, or to oppose it? Or I should not express my attitude."

Li Chengqian was naturally dissatisfied with Li Kuan.

But if supporting science can make his position as crown prince more stable, he has no objection.

Of course, judging from the current situation, it seems that the opposition to science will be bigger.

After all, if he opposes science, many great scholars in the court will first feel good about him to make up for the bad influence he has left on everyone in the past two years.

"The orthodox status of Confucianism is not so easy to shake. How many of the officials of the imperial court in various states have not studied Confucianism since childhood? How can it be so easy for them to accept science?

Your Highness, according to my opinion, there are examination subjects in the imperial examination, and it is definitely not suitable for us to oppose it. However, if we object to things like Gwu, the impact will not be that big, and it can increase the support of Confucian people for us, so it is still okay.

Just do it.”

Although Li Yuanchang's method is a bit tricky, in the current situation, it is actually a good method.

Of course, if he was also a time traveler and knew that Gewu would have such a great impact on the future, he would definitely not say this well.

"Okay, then I will follow Uncle Han Wang's advice first."

…

"As we all know, today is the award ceremony of the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award. Speaking of which, the establishment of this award has been in the works for a long time, but the decision was made accidentally.

Qu Yuan plow, Nanyang rice, new type of wok, new type of radish, Nanyang rice, cotton, glass mirror, Big Ben...

There is no need to say more about the convenience and benefits that the emergence of these things has brought to everyone. It is fair and reasonable. However, we cannot let the people who research and invent these technologies and things remain unknown, otherwise who would be willing to do it every day?

Who doesn't want to live a romantic life with some boring research?"

At today's award ceremony, Li Kuan went directly to the stage and became the host.

After a few simple greetings, he began to get to the point.

There are many people here today, but probably no one really understands Li Kuan's expectations for the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award.

Even Li Shimin supports Li Kuan for this award, but in fact he doesn't necessarily attach much importance to it.

Of course, this has a lot to do with everyone not seeing the potential benefits behind world-class awards.

Just imagine, joining the Nobel Prize in later generations is China's award. If such an award can be turned into the most authoritative project in the world, how much will it promote and stimulate various domestic disciplines?

"The Datang Royal Science and Technology Award is not the only criterion for judging scientific achievements, nor can it be regarded as the only goal of scientific research. However, it is the invention that our awards committee considers to be the most worthy of recognition every year.

People may not see the benefits of these inventions for a while, or maybe people have already begun to experience their benefits, but no matter which one they are, this must be a breakthrough technology."

"Many people don't understand why there are arithmetic and agricultural awards in this award. Do they think arithmetic is so important? Is agriculture worth studying? Why not set up an award for Confucian classics?"

When Li Kuan said this, everyone in the lecture hall immediately straightened their backs, feeling that something useful was coming.

"His Royal Highness King Chu really dares to say anything. Fortunately, today's host is not me, otherwise the effect will definitely be compromised."

Xu Jingzong sighed silently in a corner of the stage.

Most people would not do things like this that are obviously making themselves uncomfortable.

But Li Kuan not only did it, but also said it in front of so many people.

"I just want to see what he can come up with!"

Kong Yingda snorted coldly from the audience and looked at Li Kuan without turning his eyes.

"Many people must have heard of the globe, and also know that in addition to our Tang Dynasty, there are many other continents and countries in this world. As a Central Plains dynasty, we have been able to survive for thousands of years and remain standing. Naturally, we have our own merits.

A timeless classic.

Whether it is "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Spring and Autumn", or "The Book of Songs", they are the source of our culture. These classics are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation. Their value lasts forever and is the best way to unlock wisdom.

Good way. I have never denied this."

Li Kuan's words confused many people.

Could this guy have already produced a manuscript?

Hasn't he always been a pioneer in anti-Confucianism and an admirer of the study of things?

Why does this sound like he also supports Confucianism?

"However, Confucianism alone is not enough to make a country rich and powerful. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, did we rely on Confucianism to defeat the Xiongnu? No! Did our Tang Dynasty rely on Confucianism to destroy the Eastern Turks? When the Turks invaded our Tang Dynasty,

, is it useful if we go to teach them Confucianism? The Xue Yantuo people invaded Liangzhou a while ago, did we win by relying on Confucianism to fight Xue Yantuo's army?"

"None of them! We rely on His Majesty's strategic planning, the lives of the soldiers, the steel swords and crossbows of the generals, the food grown by the farmers as supplies, and the continuous improvement of the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is arithmetic, research, agriculture or medicine, it is obvious to all that the overall national strength of the Tang Dynasty was improved."

"There is no doubt that the development of science and technology is of benefit to Datang. We must confidently develop and expand science and technology, encourage scholars and craftsmen to study science and technology, improve the living standards of our people in Datang, and make our food, clothing, housing and transportation better and better day by day.

, getting more comfortable day by day.”

Kong Yingda originally thought that Li Kuan was going to change his temper, but he didn't expect that the more he said it, the more outrageous he became.

In his opinion, the more Li Kuan praised science, the more useless it was to highlight the futility of Confucianism.

This is simply a slap in the face.

So before Li Kuan could say anything, he couldn't bear it and stood up.
