牛顿50岁那年,做出了一个令人震惊的决定,他要用自己那颗伟大的头脑谋取丰厚的报酬,以便为以后安度晚年做准备。1696年,朋友哈利发克斯爵士告诉53岁的牛顿,英国皇家造币厂督办一职的年薪相当可观,而那里的铸币技术相当落后,皇室非常不满意,加上当时英国金融形势动荡,正需要有头脑的人去打理。他认真考虑后,答应了哈利发克斯爵士的举荐,迁居到了伦敦,担任了皇家造币厂督办的职务。
At the age of 50, Newton made a startling decision to use his great mind for lucrative compensation in preparation for the later years of peace. In 1696, my friend Sir Harry Thaksin told 53-year-old Newton that the annual salary of the British Royal Mint supervising job was quite impressive. However, the seigniorage technology there was quite backward and the royal family was very dissatisfied. Coupled with the turmoil in the financial situation in England at that time, We need people who have the mind to take care of. After serious consideration, he agreed with the recommendation of Sir Harry Thaksus and moved to London to take over the office of the Royal Mint.
