Chapter 556： The first technology expo

During the three years of Yongxing, Vientiane was renewed and a new atmosphere.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Changqing issued the first decree of the year.

【Nanjing will hold its first science and technology expo on February 1. 】

Wu Changqing will personally participate in this science and technology expo and personally comment on it.

Any major inventions, major research discoveries, or theoretical ideas can participate and be displayed in front of the emperor.

In the end, the emperor will award awards based on the value of his achievements.

Winners can receive government bonuses, certificates of honor, and follow-up research and development funds.

The last one is the key. This kind of research and development funds start at 10,000 yuan at every turn, and there is no ceiling.

If anyone has the idea and clue to study the internal combustion engine now, Wu Changqing will drop it no matter how much money the other party wants.

Money can be earned again, but technology points and resource points are spent but they are gone.

The main reason why Wu Changqing created such an expo is to tap talents from the private sector, save technology and at the same time release a signal that he attaches importance to technology.

Although the number of science and technology points is not limited (the population can be increased if the population continues to be born), there is also a rough upper limit. It is impossible for him to force people all over the world to give birth to babies in order to obtain more science and technology points. That is unrealistic.

With limited technological points, it is impossible to light up all technologies.

Therefore, if we want to develop the world to the level of the 21st century in our lifetime, we must rely on the wisdom and concerted efforts of all people in the world.

This expo will allow Wu Changqing to discover talents and save technological points.

Some inventors are very clever, but often get stuck at a certain point and get stuck in a bottleneck.

At this time, Wu Changqing could rely on the insights of later generations to give pointers.

To give the simplest example, if someone wants to invent an electric light now, all the problems are solved, but they cannot find a suitable material to make the filament.

Then Wu Changqing can tell him to use tungsten wire.

A simple sentence can make the other party break through the bottleneck and achieve success.

Without Wu Changqing's guidance, the other party may have to experience more than 3,000 failures and spend a lot of money and energy.

For another example, he now wants to light up the radio technology, at least two million technology points.

However, as long as he tells someone who is gifted in electricity, the working principle of radio, then with the talent of the other party, he may be able to study radio.

In this way, it is equivalent to saving millions of technological points by relying on his lips.

As a traverser, it would be too wasteful not to make the most of your own insights.

Moreover, by pointing others, he can also appear to be knowledgeable.

Although, as an emperor, he no longer needs this kind of vanity, but a little more is not bad.

It feels good to be looked up by a group of geniuses.

In addition to organizing the science and technology expo, Wu Changqing also established a new science and technology department, which is not affiliated with a certain department.

The Department of Science and Technology will be upgraded to the Ministry of Science and Technology sooner or later.

Only temporary importance is not enough to make it separate.

Becoming a division is not easy to link to which department.

It was originally supposed to be hung in the Ritual Department, but now the Ritual Department manages a lot of things.

Simply, Wu Changqing set it up as a separate department, but not under any department.

This is not a big problem either. The Department of General Affairs and the Department of Shipping are not affiliated with the Sixth Department. Anyway, none of these departments are core power institutions, they tend to focus on technical matters. They are not administrative departments, and they are almost the same whether they are subordinate or not.

After the first decree was issued, the second came soon.

[Illegal currency circulation is prohibited. 】

The government decree stipulates that all silver bullion and old-style copper coins are illegal currencies, which are not approved by the government and are prohibited from circulation.

All silver bullions and copper coins must be handed over to the Royal Bank to exchange for standard currency.

Where illegal currency transactions are used, their transaction behavior is not guaranteed.

This means that if you are deceived into trading in standard currency, the government will uphold justice. And the use of illegal currency transactions is deceived, that is deserved, the government does not care.

Although the use of standard currencies has been promoted in the past, other currencies are also allowed to circulate. There is no mandatory requirement that people must exchange into standard currencies.

But now, the court is a bit harsher again.

Non-standard currencies can still be buried in the cellar without breaking the law.

Take it on your body, too.

But if you want to buy something on the market, sorry, this is illegal.

If you don't want to break the law, first take the money to the Royal Bank and exchange it into standard currency.

In this way, it is tantamount to defining the silver bullion recognized by the court and the copper coin of the previous dynasty as illegal currency.

Although they have the property of holding value after being defined as illegal currencies, they have no property of circulation value.

For collection, there is no problem.

But when used, they have no value.

This trick is still quite ruthless, which is equivalent to completely negating other illegal currencies and forcing everyone to exchange for standard currencies.

The new currency decree has little effect on ordinary people.

Anyway, these poor ghosts, how can they have money to collect, the money is used for circulation.

Standard currency must be used, then use standard currency, it makes no difference.

However, for some big landlords who have saved countless silver, this trick is quite deadly.

In the past, although the money at home could not be used to pay taxes, at least it could still be circulated and traded in the private sector, and the impact was not particularly large.

But now that the new currency decree is issued, it will be difficult for them to buy things with silver bullion in the future.

Others, with a high probability, will refuse to accept the silver block, and insist on standard currency.

If you don't do this, and there is a dispute in the transaction, then you don't have to play.

After most people begin to reject illegal currency, the silver in their hands has no circulation value, and is no longer a currency, but a precious metal, a commodity.

Just like a piece of cloth, there is still goods value, but no circulation value.

A piece of cloth can be sold for 1 yuan, but if you want to use a piece of cloth to buy ten catties of pork worth 1 yuan, Zhang Butcher will definitely not agree.

Even if this piece of cloth is indeed worth 1 yuan, but Zhang Tufu can't take this piece of cloth to buy things, even if it is not respectable, it is not recognized by others.

It can be said that after this trick is released, those who are still hiding money will have to hurry up to exchange standard currency.

After all, the price of a commodity fluctuates, and it may depreciate in the future.

Moreover, God knows if the imperial court will issue another decree to reduce the exchange rate between silver bullion and standard currency. That would be deadly.

Silver loses its circulation value, and can't be eaten if it is stored. The more it is stored, the more it suffers.
